#Problem #Phone #Cases
Im sure in 2022 75% of the world population uses no case. If you really think about it, your actually just spending money on a piece of plastic and rubber. Like if you really think about it, it’s pretty stupid.
Anyone here in 2022?😎
Marques, it’s insane how consistent your videos have been over the years. I’m glad I discovered this channel last year. Got an iPhone 13 Pro Max then I started watching tech videos, leading me to this amazing channel.
Mkbhd got alot blacker in his newer videos
Jeez some of these comments got so defensive on not using a case.…
It’s a personal preference of course… like MKBHD even asked in the end whether you’re a case person or a naked phone person.… he respects everyone’s opinion no need to be so defensive
Cases burn batteries
Used to carry my phone naked, girls were weirded out when I asked for their numbers. But now its winter, I gotta wear something
Pause the vid here 1:52
No joke; that Defender doesn’t mess around. I was in the film industry with my shiny new iPhone 4, and … holy God. The phone failed before the case did.
Watching this 7 years later things have truly changed a lot phones have gotten really tough to the point where u can easily drop it be sure it didn’t break also case manufacturers like Rhinoshield and Mous are making Really strong and sleek cases, people keep their phones a lot longer now aswell so the durability is a lot more important I am not trusting my phone with just a skin on the back anymore
Who is here 2022😊
Cases prevent the glass from touching the floor if you drop it.
speaking of selfish vainity when someone is complaining in that way… it just wreaks
I am greatful for a good case, however well it works — as if anyone can tell or measure truth
In 2022, still here 🗿
Phones were so aesthetic back then. These days apart from pixel 6 pro I dont see any good looking phone.
In 2022, Do you still go caseless?
Hi Marques!
2 days ago I just watched this video and I totally agreed with you. I don’t like phone cases at all, they ruin the design, they add weight and size to the phone and you can’t feel the premium build and materials.
Since December 2021 I’m rocking a gorgeous Xiaomi Mix 4 (I live in Romania) : Under Display Selfie Camera, ceramic unibody design, just 8 mm thick, UWB … this phone is a true beautiful device I enjoyed using and looking at it every day. Literally everyday I take 30 seconds to just admire it from all angles. As I said, since December 2021 I’ve been using it with the silicone clear case provided in the box, which doesn’t interfere much with the design, but it adds weight to an already heavy 220 grams phone, so I decided to go caseless to enjoy it even more. These are the big downsides of using it without the clear case:
1) it’s very slippery, I don’t feel confident at all
2) I’m so used to the added weight that without the case it feels very fragile
3) the worst part is the lack of grip. Today I was enjoying my cofee, I played something on YouTube, I put my phone on my cigarettes pack on the desk and I went for a smoke at the window 1m away. A few puffs into my cigarette and I heard a bang!, my phone was on the ground, fell from the desk 1,5m. Lucky me that it fell on a carpet, so it didn’t suffer any damage. It fell because sitting on the cigarettes pack and being this slippery, the vibrations from the speakers slowly made it slide sideway, until it felt on the desk, then went diving to the ground :)))))) terrible experience. The case went back on it right that second :)))))
So it is nice to not wear a case, but it’s dangerous and not practical at all.
Bad advice in this video !!! Some phones now have like a textured material on the back for improved grip, but if you rock a slippery ceramic body like the Xiaomi Mix 4 … Oh boy! Just put a case on it.
And years later he’s sponsored by the Dbrand grip 🙂
I don’t use cases or screen protectors too
A few years later… BOOM the channel is sponsored by DBRANDS!!!
How the hell was this guy making 4K videos 8 years ago!!!
I feel you can add all this to now days
I would never leave a new phone naked!
$600 or $700 phone that you wanna buy 😂 (This didn’t age very well)
Well said

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Took his advice, got a skin, peeled off after a week. Thanks
Recently picked up a phone with a pretty back but I don’t want it scratched up so I use a clear case xD however it leaves a lot of finger prints.
why does this video randomly pop up on my timeline 🤣
Hi
Laughs in Wallet Phone Case
I had my S7 Edge with a wallet case and I swear it saved its life so many times because it had a “book like” appearance, so the front of the wallet leaves your phone in extra screen protection when you’re not using it.
Need to update this video! Please
For the past few years, every time I watch this videos after buying a mew phone, then regret the decision after a few weeks when my phone falls and gets some scratches and scuffs, luckily it hasn’t yet broken
Wow, you look very different 9 years ago 😮
@marques Brownlee 0:00 can you tell me where did you get that intro music from ? I have been watching your videos for past 10 years…
Skins my ass! I broke 2 flagship phone screens and an iPad. It’s just physics, need something to absorb the shock. So keep rubber on the back, plastic on the screen. I use plastic for better protection against shattering, when it scratches I just replace it. Screen shattering is what kills a phone, not BS scratches.
If I had enough money, I’d rock my phone naked as well. It all comes down to being able to afford a new similar phone in case your current phone doesn’t survive without a case.
Dropped all my phones over the years several times, and yet never had a single crack on the screen or body, thanks to the case I always put my phone in. So yes, phone cases do work. The first thing I do after I get a new phone is put a screen protector and a case on it. I don’t care about the looks of my phone. For me a phone is a tool, not some fashion accessory to flash around. Nobody cares about your phone. Everyone has a phone these days, and they all have the same features now, from budget phones to flagship. So at the end of the day, we’re all doing the same things on our phones, just on cheaper or pricier devices.

I used to use cases, and screen protectors on all of my phones, up until the Galaxy 5. I used a screen protector, and a case on it, for a couple of years, but the screen protector started to bubble, and collect debris underneath it. I peeled it off, and the display quality was immediately better. The display was sharper, the feedback was phenomenal, it was like having a brand-new phone. I haven’t used any after-market protectors since then. It seems counter-intuitive, to purchase an $1800 phone, only to immediately cover it with additional layers. You buy the phone with the latest and greatest technology, why would you hinder it? If people are that concerned with protecting their phones, then maybe they’re shopping out of their range. I wouldn’t normally recommend extended warranties to people, but I think the trade-off between that and after-market screen protection, is worth it.
Six or seven hundred dollars phone 😂

Hi MKBHD whats your opinion on using smart phones with cases now?
I have always used a case — and screen protector — on my phones. Sometimes my new phone arrived before my case did. Those were scary days of paranoia!
Cases have saved me a few times, such as when standing up while forgetting that my phone was in my lap.
I have a tip to share regarding case installation. Use that little lens cloth or microfiber cloth that came with the screen protector and lay that inside the back half of your case before putting it on your phone. It’ll act as a gasket to snug up the fit a little bit, and prevent some scratches from slowly happening to the back of the phone touching the case or whatever contaminants find their way into your pocket and behind your phone.✅
Keep buying new phones or replace the screen everytime it falls without a case
Naked feels much better
This man is a genius.
