had my phone with its "titties out" the past 3 weeks....was kind of refreshing.....but is slippery .... I dropped it on its face and got a small crack on the screen last weeks....and yesterday I'm walking along, thinking I got it clutched but it releases from hands and hits the ground and cracks the camera on the back.... the hell..................:why:

Why even bother getting a phone that you find nicely desinged if you are going to put one of those fukking otterboxes on them?

To protect it if you work in a non-office or rugged environment? My friend is a fireman, rocks the otterbox at work but uses a much slimmer case when he's off duty. Lot of people don't work in environments that would be considered phone friendly.

But yeah, I feel you on people that DON'T work in such environments with cases like that. That's gonna be the next "big thing".... phones you can truly rock naked and drop w/o worrying. Sony already got the waterproof joints, now it's time for someone to add unbreakable/unscratchable (or nearly unbreakable/unscratchable) screens in a normal/slim profile and they'll shut the game down.

i can see why most people who have cases are iphone owners. it may be pretty but its made out of mostly glass.

accidents happen and even the most careful owner can end up dropping their phone.

one common theme among my friends with iphones is that the screen is shattered or cracked.

i had an iphone 4 and immediately put it in an otterbox. good thing because I dropped it 3 or 4 times over a 2 year period. I'm sure the screen would have spider webbed.

Now i own a Nokia Lumia 920 which has superior build quality and I'm not afraid to have it without a case.

The lady at the mall made me do it. She called me over and I knew she was trying to sale me something, but she was cute so I said fukk it.

She asked me what phone I had and I whipped it out on her. She's like :usure: you wanna walk around with your brand new iPhone naked like that. I explained to her why I didn't want a case and she whipped this bad boy out. Ima try it out for a minute, but I think :datazz: made me waste $25:snoop:

I doubt companies are gonna make unbreakable/unscratchable phones that hardware has BEEN out (a friend of mine had one) but they probably make alot of their money from ppl breaking their phones 3 or 4 times and purchasing new ones.

What phone did he have?

They'll do it... they've already started taking steps towards it as I mentioned with Sony's flagships being waterproof. Google's first phone w/ Motorola, rumoured the "X Phone" has already hinted at this as well.

Google CEO hints at unbreakable

“In today’s multi screen world, the opportunities are endless… battery life is a huge issue… when you drop your phone it shouldn’t go splat,” he said, according to Quartz. ”There’s a real potential to invent new and better experiences.”

The executive added that simple tasks such as recharging a phone’s battery can even be a pain for some people. It is believed that Page was hinting at the possible “X Phone,” and that it could include extra long battery life, wireless charging capabilities and an unbreakable case."

I only recently bought a case for my phone because I cracked the bezel from dropping it too many times. I like the idea of a naked phone but in the future, I'll probably have it in a case.

Only phone I had naked was the 3gs, that shyt was piff, nikkas will shyt on plastic but that shyt held up until I cracked my screen at a concert. My nexus 4 will shatter if I dropped it nakie so I got a bumper holding me down which actually makes the phone look better. :ohlawd:
