So fellow lungites, what are we doing about phone cases?


Feb 24, 2022, 2:52 PM

Got a new phone last night. It is an iPhone 13. What is the best case going these days? I'm walking around with this thing unprotected and the anxiety from the fear of dropping it is killing me.

I don't know why people do that. I've never had anything other than a basic rubber shell kind of case, just so it's less slippery. I don't think I've ever paid more than $10 for a case.

I drops stuff ALL the time

Phone, knife whilst cooking, keys, etc.

Always have

it works great. Broke my screen though, but that wasn't the case's fault. I used my phone to break my fall when trail running one day.

My wife has Gorilla Glass on her iPhone, when it cracks, she gets a new one for "free". She just got an iPhone 13 and probably has the same setup, slim case with gorilla glass.

Re: So fellow lungites, what are we doing about phone cases?


Feb 25, 2022, 8:35 AM

I've used a Tech21 case on my past two iPhones, in combination with a glass screen protector. Plenty of drops and hard bumps along the way (mostly from the kid), and never damaged the phone in any way.

Wife has the same setup and took a hard fall on a jog recently---actually broke her fall with the phone on the asphalt, and the thing went bouncing along the road. The corners are damaged, but none of the spiderweb cracks you see on unprotected phones.

TL;DR Tech21 case + a glass screen protector is minimalist, grippy, and seems to protect well.
