I think I’ll be able to empathize with extraterrestrial alien religious rituals first before I can empathize with people who modify carefully crafted ergonomics of their phones with cases and stupid shit like this.
“Oh, my phone needs that ugly ass round thingy and a transparent case that turns yellow within a month because I tend to drop it”
How… How about NOT DROPPING IT??? The beautifully crafted materials of your phone, that beautiful glass, the thinness… all of that is gone because you decided to slap a cheap ass case on it…
You’re carrying a very expensive device full of highly sensitive data that for many people is their primary computer that contains their digital life.
It is made out of easily damaged materials like glass and aluminium that don’t offer much grip because they are smooth, and the shape doesn’t offer much grip because it is so thin.
And you think: “Should I put a cheap protective case on this in case I drop it or it gets damaged? Should I take the most basic precaution to look after this expensive and fragile thing that I carry with me wherever I go?”
A phone is quite likely one of the most touched and seen item by the user in their day. For something like that, tactile sensation, ergonomics and looks kinda do matter, no?
I can’t be the only one who receives genuine pleasure from handling a clean, smooth glass brick every day, right?
And yes, phones are expensive and important. That’s why we just… Use them carefully and not drop them.
If I purchased an expensive car, I’d use it carefully. I wouldn’t cover it up with plastic protection mats or whatever you protect it in case I crash.
And again, about dropping the phone… Just… Don’t drop it? How does a drop even happen? Is it really that hard not to drop a phone?
Your logic is basically ‘I prefer it this way, so it must be the best way and everyone should conform’. You don’t drop your phone, so you can’t fathom that others might.

If someone constantly drops their expensive ass phone, they’re still too young and need a cheap training phone.

“No - that would spoil the way it looks.”
