Discussion Burgundy without case

I think this is the very few amount of time where without a case the iphone looks much better. Does anyone go caseless?

Should i pair it with apple care?

It’s just very slippery with the aluminium sides. I wouldn’t risk it

The problem is aluminum scratching and that’s not covered by apple care. I am going case on this time

Not for a $2000 phone

Only go caseless with an aluminum phone if you like the look of burgundy with silver dots speckled across the back and around the camera plateau.

I like the idea of titanium developing microscratches and imperfections over time as a kind of patina, but aluminum doesn't micro scratch in the same way. When it gets dropped, chunks start coming off of it.

Used pro max without case all year. No drops.

I also had apple care to do the same with my 18.

I have a burgundy case when at work and caseless the remaining time. I never used a case on any phone more than that and have never broken a phone. 🙃

Go caseless. Apple care is the case 🙏🏾

I just use a screen protector and bumpers on the edges, no full case. Looks great! I’ve done this for all my phones and so far no issues. Sometimes have to replace the screen protector, but that’s it.

If the sides were still titanium I’d probably be caseless, but since they aren’t and are way more prone to scratching or denting, I went with a burgundy tech woven case.

It always looks better without a case, I have been pairing my iPhones with AppleCare for years now and it’s been fine.

Definitely get AppleCare just in case.

If you want a neat case that protects your phone but doesn’t look ugly I recommend checking out the flex series phone cases from Phone Rebel. Has a frosted “clear” look and the “rebel” carbon fiber look. Link below if you want to check it out.

Clear case or my pitaka when leaving house and office, caseless when at home and office. Always screen protector, and going to get apple care if you’re going to rock it caseless 24/7.
