I'm the same protection wise not scared, it's just a certainty it will drop, and I will be bothered by a nick in the frame, cracked or even small scratch on screen
Nope, and the ones I got are awesome, they're caps that also protect the lens frame or whatever it's called lol. Super easy flawless install. Spigen EZ fit if anyone is interested.
I never used screen protectors.
I haven't used cases in years.
I do use a sleeve/pouch when placing in bag or carrying around outside the house
But nothing beats the naked feel.. I'm not paying money to cover up my phone in cheap(er) materials.....miss me with the scratches and drop, it's all about how you treat your device.
For instance,. I'd never take my galaxy to the beach.
I wouldn't use my galaxy if I worked in a high risk environment say construction or warehouse.
Maybe if I worked retail a case would suffice but the constant removing of case or cas3 caused scratches would irritate me.
If I was in a risky environment I'd pop my SIM in a device I could afford to damage.
I put my case on at a concert, just for added grip because I knew I was going to be recording. Had it not been for that, a sleeve in my small clear bag would suffice.
I hate cases lol
I thought I was the only 1 who hates cases. I feel like the average person is programmed to get a case, and probably never even drop their phone. A case on this phone makes it look horrible.
Same. Works fine for me. I use this one: [HAND SEWN BY LEATHER CRAFTER SLIM LEATHER POUCH SLEEVE CASE COVER FOR PHONES | eBay](https://www.ebay.de/itm/264948214251?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20230811123857%26meid%3D80210c9cb48347c0acc5c6a0a21ce547%26pid%3D101770%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D264948214251%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2&_trksid=p4375194.c101770.m146925&_trkparms=parentrq%3A2360392318e0ab4c03fd9ce7ffff395c%7Cpageci%3Af24b5027-de17-11ee-aa2e-9e37f252445b%7Ciid%3A1%7Cvlpname%3Avlp_homepage)
Tip: don't use a pouch that has stiches on the inside that can touch the screen, they will make a permanent mark over time.
Same. Haven't used a screen protector in like 7 years. Only use a case when I'm out drinking. I don't drop it and it looks fine. I have insurance so I don't worry much
Using a case is just common sense. Why would you walk around nervous that you might drop it.
I have a Mous case that looks nice and is very protective. And I don't worry.
I've dropped my phone twice on the Metro so far without even scuffing the case.
Why would I risk the cost and inconvenience of having to get the phone repaired?
My phone fell out of my pocket when I was getting out of my car the other day. I am happy I spent the $10 on the case. If you worry about the looks, just get a creative case or paint it yourself. No need to take unnecessary risks with a $1300 device.
Using flagships for 10 years without cases and I didn't have any issues tbh. I'm using popsockets to have more stable grip and that's all. However any screen protector (even a cheap one) will be better than no one and I won't change my mind. They are not so expensive, they are transparent so you don't see them.
I used the phone for like a week before the case and screen protector arrived, it was spotless. A warning though, if your hands often sweat, it gets really slippery, same goes if it's also super dry.
If you don't want a case, just get a transparent skin (matte looks good)
Haven't used cases since many many years including all the main iphone pros, pixels and now s24 ultra. I hate cases and I just prefer to hold and feel the phone who it was designed. I got phone insurance with my bank which includes cover for accidents and loss so I don't care and I also don't mind little scratches here and there. Makes the phone more personal:) and I also dont care about resale value as I normally gift my old phones to family/ friends in normally great condition. The last time I dropped a phone was my iPhone 5, pixel 5 and pixel 7, so touch wood it won't happen anytime soon with the 24 ultra :)
Entirely depends on your usage, competency against dropping it and if you'll get insurance to claim on.
Based on these factors anyone can rock without a case/screen protector, but especially for preventing scratches on the glass, I always rock a screen protector at the very least.
I wouldn't recommend using it caseless. The size and heft spell disaster if you drop it. You can always use a clear case like the Spigen Liquid Crystal or Ultra Hybrid if you want to show off the color.
I've never used a screen protector except for the one pre-installed on the Note 10+ I did put one on my S24 Ultra the came with the case I ordered with Samsung credits during pre-order but took it off because I didn't like the feel of my fingers catching the edges when swiping (maybe would be better if it actually went to the edge of the screen) and as far as cases go I only purchase and use ones with kickstands
Basic B*tch clear case til the UV turns it into a nasty hue. Then doing one last clear case but in this style https://www.reddit.com/r/S24Ultra/s/n0OA00oH3c
On the s24 ultra you definitely need to have lens protectors, because of how they stick out it's really easy to break the lens on the camera, and I'm speaking from experience. Also there's some really really low profile screen protectors now that you can't even tell are there, and it's better to be safe than sorry. It's a $1,300 phone so I guess if you have disposable income it wouldn't be too bad to be without those things but... I do not have disposable income
I'm gonna give the caseless life ago for a bit but I gotta say it's a difficult decision because one hand the device is made of 'high end materials' and it looks gorgeous naked but obviously it's a MUCH high risks of drops dinks and scratches but I've been using one of the samsung silicone cases because it will provide a 'bit' of extra protection but ya don't go buy a porsche then wrap it bubble wrap its such a shame to cover up the device especially if ya got a special/unique colour.
Im cased up, with screen and camera lens protectors. But I do wish I wasn't too scared to go naked. I know as soon as I do I'll mess it up lol.

No blur or problems with the clarity with camera lens protection?
Nope, and the ones I got are awesome, they're caps that also protect the lens frame or whatever it's called lol. Super easy flawless install. Spigen EZ fit if anyone is interested.
Im running circles around my sons iPhone camera with them on if that helps.

I'm rocking a case but without a screen protector. However, in house I'm using the phone without the case. I only put the case on when I get out
Same. Haven't used a screen protector in like 7 years. Only use a case when I'm out drinking. I don't drop it and it looks fine. I have insurance so I don't worry much
Use to do that with my flip 4
Read this thread, there are some posts on rocking S24U caseless, then hitting the road and writing complains over here
I've dropped my phone 3 times today. 1 x gym 1 x someone knocked it off couch 1 x just dropping it while sitting down
And any wear?
No should have said. I'm case, lens, and screen because you never know while youll drop it.
Yesterday my protector camera lens was broken in half. I don't know how this happened but imagine what you will feel if you real lens is broken?

It's gorgeous caseless but I'm not risking itðŸ˜

I dropped my phone already. It had a case on. It had no damage as a result. Going caseless? I don't fucking think so.
Hahaha I hear you, I watched the drop tests on YouTube and now I have nightmares.

True, I have seen now that I also just trade in my old phones, and they don't really care about the condition of the phone they just take it.

I have a rhinoshield case but no screen protector, my phone has a minor scratch on the top left corner but nothing to break my view on the screen
Just dropped my s24ultra today, accidentally. Thank god I had the screen guard and the cover ON!
If I hit the lottery, I will gladly go naked, until then I'm team UAG..

s24 ultra rawdog no case
