For some, it\u2019s a good idea. But there are some strong reasons why most people might not need to. We\u2019ll explore the options.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warranties_and_Cloud_Backup_Mean_Less_Worry\"><\/span>Warranties and Cloud Backup Mean Less Worry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Some smartphones, such as the iPhone, cost quite a bit of money, making some people understandably worried about unintentional damage from drops or otherwise. That\u2019s probably the main reason people use a case to protect their phones. Luckily, some manufacturers offer comprehensive warranties against accidental damage, making the no-case option less of a risk.<\/p>\n<p>For example, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/support\/products\/iphone\/\">Apple\u2019s AppleCare+ plan<\/a> covers two incidents of accidental damage every 12 months with service fees: $29 for screen\/glass damage and $99 for everything else. So you don\u2019t need to be as afraid of a cracked screen on your $800 iPhone as you would without AppleCare+.<\/p>\n<p>In the Android world, Google offers <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/store.google.com\/us\/magazine\/preferred_care?hl=en-US\">Preferred Care<\/a> for its Pixel phones and Samsung offers <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/3607085\/type\/am\/sid\/775608\/https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/samsung-care-plus\/\">Samsung Care+<\/a> for its smartphones. Both offer similar fees for accidental repair ($29 for cracked screens, for example).<\/p>\n<p>And if you\u2019re worried about losing your data if you accidentally damage your phone, automated cloud backup options (such as Apple\u2019s iCloud+ or Google\u2019s Google One) can put your mind at ease. If you damage or lose your phone, you can easily restore from a cloud backup in a new or repaired device.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, these warranty and backup plans cost extra money, so they\u2019re not for everyone, but they do serve as relatively inexpensive insurance against damage and data loss.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_Your_Smartphone_Free\"><\/span>Set Your Smartphone Free<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-732944\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/iphone_live_text.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"iPhone Live Text on iOS 15.\" width=\"650\" height=\"387\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve shown that you can skip the case and rest easy with an enhanced warranty and backup solutions, you can enjoy the benefits of case-free living. Here are a few of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Smaller and Lighter:<\/strong> Without a case, your smartphone will be thinner and lighter, fitting more easily into a pocket or a purse. That also means rubber cases won\u2019t get snagged on fabric or accumulate lint.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better Looking:<\/strong> Many people buy beautiful smartphones then hide them in generic black cases. Without a case, you can show the world the color and beauty of your smartphone\u2019s native design.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Gesture Interference:<\/strong> Some smartphone cases interfere with gestures, especially those that involve swiping inward from the edge of the screen. Without a case, those gestures become far easier to perform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less Landfill Waste:<\/strong> Every year, manufacturers create <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2019\/07\/31\/1894829\/0\/en\/5-11Bn-Mobile-Phone-Protective-Cases-Market-Report-2014-2019-2024.html\">millions of phone cases<\/a>. Have you looked at the clearance rack of your local Target lately? It\u2019s usually full of unsold device cases. If you don\u2019t buy a case, that\u2019s one less piece of waste to go in the landfill once your phone becomes obsolete. If enough people don\u2019t buy cases (and phones become more easily repairable), the case market size will shrink and overall case waste will drop as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less Wireless Charging Interference:<\/strong> Sure, there are plenty of cases that are compatible with wireless charging standards such as MagSafe and Qi, but some of them are more pricey than the alternatives. With no case, you can charge wirelessly with no issues whatsoever.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>What Is MagSafe for iPhone, and What Can It Do?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case_Alternatives_Skins_Decals_and_Screen_Protectors\"><\/span>Case Alternatives: Skins, Decals, and Screen Protectors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-775106\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Mahogany-Galaxy-S21-Skins-e1639776453188.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Galaxy S21 skin.\" width=\"650\" height=\"289\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dbrand.com\/shop\/samsung-galaxy-s21-skins\">dbrand<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Instead of entombing your iPhone or Android device in a case, there are some other options that don\u2019t add as much heft and thickness. To customize the look of a phone, you can use skins and decals that add style (from whimsical to classy\u2014and everything in between) and scratch protection to the body of your phone.<\/p>\n<p>To protect your phone\u2019s screen from cracks and scratches, you can install a very thin screen protector, which is a transparent piece of glass or plastic that sticks to the surface of your smartphone\u2019s screen. Screen protectors are usually less expensive than cases as well, which is another advantage.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_You_Should_Use_a_Case\"><\/span>When You Should Use a Case<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s face it: For some people, smartphone cases still make sense. For example, if you use a smartphone for essential communications in a high-stakes job, or use one regularly in part of a life-and-death situation where someone might die if your smartphone breaks. You\u2019ll need to protect your smartphone, because you can\u2019t instantly fix or replace it during an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>In those cases, you might want to go for one of the toughest and most highly-regarded smartphone cases made, the Otterbox Defender <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>. They\u2019re pricey, but they\u2019ll definitely protect your smartphone from harsh conditions. Just make sure you find the right model for your particular smartphone before you buy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09D5PD2PR?tag=hotoge-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41MXNDyGoPL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Also, some smartphone cases add extra battery life (letting you work longer without charging) or double as a simple wallet for important cards such as your ID or a debit card. They offer convenience beyond simple protection, so they might be worth the extra bulk.<\/p>\n<p>But if you don\u2019t use a smartphone case, you aren\u2019t alone. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/368627\/us-protective-case-usage-among-smartphone-owners\/\">According to Statistia<\/a>, about 20% of smartphone owners go caseless as well. Now that there are comprehensive break-protection warranties and tougher screen glass available, those numbers might just go up over time.
