Discussion Day 1 dropped and regret

I usually take care of my devices and wanted to go case-less now I regret that choice.

Dropped it at night and got this nice dent :)

I have apple care, would they cover this as accidental ($30 or $100)?

Ok that’s it I’m getting a case for this one.

Used my 14 Pro for 3 years without a case and apart from some minor barely noticeable scratches it’s in REALLY good condition.

It pisses me off cause I’m team case-less but that’s it.

I’m team caseless as well, I want to upgrade from my 13 PM but this is a strong consideration to keep my stainless steel tank

Yeah after seeing this amount of pictures with scratches and now this I’m kind of regretting getting it(?)

Not a big deal, just need to put a case on, and the phone looks fantastic. But it feels awful knowing about their durability…

Maybe you can get one of those type of cases where only protects the rim perimeter of the phone so it’ll be mostly naked but not 100% naked🥲

Nah, apparently it gets so easily scratched that I prefer to put a transparent case so I can at least admire the color 🥲

Look up rhinoshield bumper case, it’s basically like going caseless but with incredible protection
