How many people have an iPhone Air?
- x3qt 3mo agoThat’s exactly why I added “or any other premium.” Why buy a sleek phone made of premium materials just to bury it in the cheapest, ugliest, chunkiest plastic case you can find?
- baby_souffle 3mo agoI don't think the super cheap and chunky phone cases are analogous to a wrap here. I know more than a few people with very expensive phones covered in thin carbon fiber style cases which are there purely to protect the glass and metal from egregious scratches, though.
- alamortsubite 3mo agoPlenty of people buy expensive phones for the specs and features, yet either have no interest in jewelry or see it as a negative status symbol.
- dzhiurgis 3mo agoAnd by plenty you mean minority.
- alamortsubite 3mo agoObviously, but the question I was responding to was, "Why buy a sleek phone made of premium materials just to bury it in the cheapest, ugliest, chunkiest plastic case you can find?"
- esseph 3mo agoIts not adamantium, its still just plastics, glass, metals, and electronics. I would never sit hours somewhere waiting to get my phone fixed, I value my time.
- tmerc 3mo agoBecause the hardware and os updates matter more than how it looks and you only get the good stuff in a fragile "glass sandwich". So if you want it to survive a fall, you spend $25 and leave it in a case until it's cooked 3 years later but still the original screen and hasn't needed anything fixed.
