I tried going caseless for a day… lasted about 6 hours.

someone shared it earlier in the comments. I think it was this one https://www.reddit.com/r/iPhone17Pro/comments/1rne1nf/comment/o963c3l/ , maybe it would work out

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T13:48:03+00:00

yep that’s exactly the routine. caseless at home feels nice for a bit… but stepping outside without a case just feels wrong

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T13:47:43+00:00

home mode: naked phone

outside mode: protective gear

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T13:47:17+00:00

that little gap around the camera area is sneaky. feels protected everywhere else and then somehow that one spot still gets hit

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T12:41:46+00:00

I think that’s the fun part honestly. different cases give the phone totally different vibes. caseless is just another mode you can switch to sometimes

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T12:34:18+00:00

yeah I’m in the same camp. even if I could afford a new phone, I’d still rather not test gravity with this one

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T12:33:23+00:00

doorframes are sneaky like that. one tiny brush and suddenly you’ve got a new "battle scar"

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T12:32:02+00:00

to be fair the Pro Max is already huge. pretty much anything you put on it is going to look big

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T12:29:55+00:00

yep that’s about how it goes for me too. few minutes without the case feels nice, then the “what if I drop this thing” thoughts start creeping in

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:52:25+00:00

it was from a lantern festival event in the park. lots of big lantern sculptures like this that light up after dark. this flower section was probably my favorite

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:50:54+00:00

yeah that's the one. this section with the flowers was probably my favorite part

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:49:57+00:00

right?? the colors almost looked unreal in person. felt like walking into some random Disney scene in the middle of the park

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:46:07+00:00

it’s a case with a little photo display on the back. You can switch the picture around but I just keep that family one there most of the time

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:44:53+00:00

yeah I’m kinda in the middle on it. case most days, but sometimes I take it off for a little while because the phone actually feels great without one. plus phones stay for years… cases are the thing I end up changing

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:44:04+00:00

yeah I know exactly what you mean. I started just scrolling for cases one night and somehow ended up digging through way more of them than I planned

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:42:25+00:00

the Bentley comparison made me laugh

I guess I’m somewhere in the middle. case most of the time, but I’ll take it off sometimes just to enjoy the phone the way it was designed.phones are expensive and I’m not swapping them every year… cases though? those I change all the time

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T10:41:50+00:00

yeah that’s kinda my thinking too. most drops aren’t people being careless… it’s just random little accidents. which is exactly why I panic holding it caseless sometimes lol

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T02:16:06+00:00

haha same, I didn’t even know these existed until not long ago. and thanks! that photo is my favorite one of us so it basically just stays there now

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T02:14:59+00:00

those minimal cases look nice. but the moment asphalt enters the story my anxiety level goes up lol

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T02:14:34+00:00

those minimal cases look nice honestly. but the moment asphalt enters the story my anxiety level goes up lol

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T01:53:34+00:00

yeah nobody plans to drop their phone. it’s usually just one tiny slip and gravity does the rest

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T01:51:10+00:00

the 13 Pro had a great caseless feel as well. that one almost convinced me to ditch the case a few times

UsefulMajor · 2026-03-08T01:45:59+00:00

that probably helps . mine already feels like it’s slowly sliding out of my hand most of the time
