@atpfm an option you haven’t mentioned in the Great Case Debate: what if you could have that caseless feeling but with (most of) the protection of a case? Buy these cheap little top and bottom bumpers and stick them to the top and bottom of your phone. 99.9% of the time when you drop it it’ll land on one of the corners; I’ve been using them for a year on my 15 Pro and its still pretty scratchless. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805011246781.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
top tip tho: use a stanley knife to cut out a section on the bottom for that ideal thumb feel on the bottom of the screen. But you’ll need to keep one strip so you still have enough to still adhere to the phone. I learned this the hard way (it cost me 99 cents) when I tried to cut out everything except the corners. Attached is my old (almost a year) bumper and then the fresh one I cut and put on today.
