What's with all the people buying phone covers.
 
Ok I'm a bit confused about the whole phone cover thing. I get the screen film because you don't want to scratch your screen. I don't use one, but I understand the concept. I just don't get why people want to put an ugly rubber cover that makes the phone thicker. I guess I'm not a phone klutz and don't drop my phone constantly.

Because there is always that chance that you (or someone you gave your phone) will drop it. Better safe than sorry.

The hard cases are also good options to keep what's seeming to be the infamous screen-lifting issue from becoming an issue.

Protection...why do you wear a condom? Same principle....in theory....Protection...Protection...Protection!! Without a case the phone has the possibility of getting dinged, dented..scratched..

I feel safer known that if I drop my phone, the $15-20 case I bought saves me from having to take a trip to the Sprint store and explaining how the casing on the phone got cracked, and possibly having to do the insurance claim...and the fact that $15-20 case is cheaper to replace..that make any sense to you?

i have rheumatoid arthritis in both my hands so i often drop things. a screen cover is a must for me to protect the phone as i have dropped other phones in the past.

It's a joke. Sorry. I'll leave now....

All it takes is once, thats why I have a cover. Go troll elsewhere.

When I had my Diamond I never bought a phone cover but my friends with blackberries always had what I thought was a cool silicone case. So I bought my hero and bought one. I liked it for about 2 months and then I couldnt take it anymore. It was too grippy to get in and out of my pocket and it really did make the phone feel thicker. Its all just personal preference. Take the risk and leave it naked or deal with the discomfort and wrap it. Damn, that does sound like a condom. Lol.

Do you own an Evo? If you did than you would know that the camera lens on the back protrudes from the back of the battery cover quite a bit. A case should help prevent the camera lens from getting all scratched up. This is the main purpose that I have a case on my phone.

My dealer included the body glove hard case, so i thought I would try it out... first cover I have ever had.. Honestly on this phone i don't even notice its there (until I go an try to replace the battery... Dohh..)

Now my question being a n00b to this site and still trying to figure it out, my question is: why ask this question? If you like cases or screen protectors you do, if you don't you don't what would starting this thread gain anyone? is it going to change anyones mind about using a case? Just asking....
