True. This could have been implemented by manufacturers, like Nokia did with the shells for their 33xx-series phones. Instead they seem to be focused on style rather than usability.
I can't think of anyone in my social circle who owns and uses a phone sans-case in exactly the way the manufacturer sells it. It's in a wallet case, or a normal case, or it's got a clear jelly case, or a case that facilitates mounting in the car, etc etc.
I am always surprised at the colour of my phone on the rare occasion I take it out of its case, it's white, and my case - that entirely wraps it - is black.
I never use cases. I like my phone to look the way it’s supposed to.
I do use a screen protector, but that’s it.
Interesting.
See much everyday damage? How long do you keep your phones?
2 years or so. The edges get slight dings from keys/change. They resell on eBay for same price as any other used phone, and I include very detailed pics.
