    I like iPhones but titanium does seem like an odd choice. Sure it looks nice but who daily drives a $1000 phone without having it wrapped in a case anyway? Feels like a sales tactic.

      The titanium was added to make it more lightweight vs stainless steel. It’s more durable for its weight but the phones seem to be less durable overall.

      I mean, a lot of people. I have a pixel fold I use naked, and when I had iPhones I never used a case. I paid a lot for the phone, I’m not gonna cover it in a piece of tpu. They also just make phones even more unwieldy than they already are. If you have kids I get it I guess.

        I’ve been using sleeves/pouches since the Nexus 5 as I really prefer using a naked phone. I really liked them, protection in the pocket and also a clean phone as it’s cleaned every time you put it in and out of the sleeve.

        I’ve gotten clumsy though over the years so I think for my next phone I’ll have to get a proper case. I’ll hate it, but it’s better than a damaged phone 😢

      If you have an iPhone, just get AppleCare. Even if you smash the hell out of it you can get it replaced for $99.

      Run it without a case. Smash it up, replace it when it’s unusable to you.
