This math is what lead me to the iUp program in the first place. It's effectively a guaranteed 50% trade-in, which came out to about $200-300 in actual money that I was theoretically sacrificing in exchange for not having to worry about the cosmetic condition of the phone or weirdos on ebay.
And it came with AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss. I stopped using a case. I lived free.
- macintux 2mo agoI’ll never stop using a case. Too clumsy, too careless. 2-3 days without my phone would be manageable but why?
- olyjohn 2mo agoMy screen is cracked, and I still prefer it over a case. Just a personal preference, I think.
- Onawa 2mo agoPhones these days are so slippery without a case though... Is it just me? Feels like trying to hold on to a wet bar of soap sans case.
- prmoustache 2mo agoDisregarding the commodity of a big screen, they have the wrong shape to be honest for something that is made to be handled.
- ghaff 2mo agoI've handled the Maxes and they're just too big for my taste. It's not a financial thing. I'm by no means a phone size minimalist but my 15 Pro feels like just the right size for a phone at this point.
- vladvasiliu 2mo agoThis. They're also too big, so if you don't wear baggy pants it can be a pain to maneuver in and out of jeans pockets. But then, if I'm visiting somewhere unfamiliar in the middle of nowhere and drop it and it becomes unusable, I can have a pretty bad time.
- ghaff 2mo agoI don't think so. Maybe I'm just used to it but I like the gripiness of my Otterbox case in addition to the protection it provides. My prior iPhoen might have survived a hiking trip if I had an equivalently robust case (and the newer Otterbox Defender cases are much less clunky than the older ones were).
