Re: Are cases actually worth it?
I feel strongly that a phone should have a case, I've had them on all of mine since my first expensive phone in 2012 the Galaxy S3. I worked for Verizon for 4 years, I'd say over 75% of people used a case, and the majority of the phone repairs or insurance claims we did were for people with no case and dropped the phone.
My S7 was the first phone I had that got scratched from debris inside the case, dumb glass back design. I now take my phone out of the case to wash it off occasionally.
Personally I prefer no case, but I've seen far too many broken phones to risk it myself.
