I’m expecting it to be delivered in 2 weeks - and I’ve heard so much about its comfortable design and rounded sides - the phone looks beautiful and I wouldn’t wanna keep it inside a case given I’m definitely getting Apple Care for it. What’s your take? Do you purchase your Apple Care iPhones in cases?
Depends. The way I see it, AppleCare is insurance against catastrophic damage that would cost more than the premium and service fee to repair otherwise. If you have good luck with personal electronics and won’t be taking it where angles fear to tread, you’re probably fine without.
So I have AppleCare for peace of mind basically. Either way, I don’t use mine as a “case” to protect against scratches and everyday dings, because service fees. I still get a screen protector and a clear case or nicely colored/vanity case. Currently I’m favoring an ESR Armorite screen protector and the Spigen Zero One case (and individual lens protectors for that big honking camera array).
That’s a clever way of thinking! Do I need a seatbelt in my car because I got insurance? Same with my helmet when I ride my bike… Of course you do if you want protection! Insurance is for catastrophic damage 😉
Not sure if these two things are comparable 😂
Every ac+ replacement will cost you more money than the best case you can find. And after one fall the case won’t be destroyed. I think insurance is important for expensive things, but if you know you will drop your phone you can’t rely on it only. And if you are on a budget, you need a case. Don’t you think?
They aren’t that far off from each other insofar as an easy breezy analogy requires. The only difference that your person obviously isn’t as replaceable or repairable as your phone.
