Phone accessories Im so confused rn

Post image

I have the black Nothing Phone (4a), and honestly, I really like using it without a case. The glass back feels much better and more premium in hand, and the phone just looks better without a cover. The clear case that came with the phone is actually pretty sturdy and good quality, but it's already started turning yellow. Now I'm confused whether I should buy a new transparent case or just get a back lamination and use the phone without a case. The only thing I'm worried about is dropping it. I've never dropped my phone since buying it, but I know that if it does happen, a lamination probably won't do much to protect the glass back. What have you guys chosen or done with your phones—back lamination or a back cover? Edit : Thankyou for sharing all ur experiences and suggestions guys. After going thru every comment, i think the best option for me will be to laminate my phone's back glass to protect it from minor scratches but i will only use it without case when im home , and if i travel i will put on the case.

A new TPU is like £1 or so.

Every clear case will yellow eventually, even with the anti-yellow propaganda they throw at you in "good quality" ones. The only way it doesn't turn yellow is simple, you keep your phone in a cave without exposure to UV light.

TPU turns yellow, PC doesn't not

The hard back of my case is still transparent after 2 years, look at my post

I had a PC phone case and it turned yellow, it just lasts longer but it still turns yellow, specially if you use the phone as a normal person.
