You gotta try the new ones that are a film. I used to use the glass ones like spigen… then I discovered the film ones on Temu. It’s called like polyphobic or something. You clean your screen, use the sticker, line it up and you peel the bottom half then the top then the bottom AGAIN and it’s goes on like magic. No bubbles and they work great. I had my one on my 14pm for like 5 months. When I traded it in it was like brand new. It’s almost like it feels better on your fingers too. Easier to type

I tried the hard plastic clear cases. The rubber ones the ones that feel like glass… it’s definitely better than a big bulky case but I’ve had bad luck with clear cases. One of them would slip out of my hand but get stuck in the pocket of my sweat pants 😂😂

Exactly! I have never got a new phone and been like “I’m not putting a case on this bad boy” but when I felt the 15 and how much lighter it was and not as slippery I definitely did lol.

Yeah mines through AT&T. My nearest apple store is like an hour away but my local AT&T has an Genius Bar in it with certified apple techs. So it’s not so bad.

So how are you liking the 15 compared to the 9? That’s a pretty big jump. My wife had an 11 until we both got the 15. 6 years is a lot of cycles on a battery so I’d say that’s a pretty drastic difference on its own.

It felt like that for me for the first week. I put my 14pm case on my 15 and it felt sooo bulky. I think our phones are just such an extension of ourselves at this point and our hands are so tactile. It throws your muscle memory out of wack.

You find me someone who said exactly what I did and I’ll delete my Reddit account

Yeah I had myself convinced the case was more comfortable to us (with the magnetic wallet/card holder) but now I’m realizing I was just accustomed to that. I rock a 15pm with a little wallet attachment straight on the phone. Never comes off and feels so much better in my hands. Like you said… wtf else am I paying for this insurance for…

 

In the past, I usually order a case right after I order a new phone, but considering that these phones have gotten really tough (or I’ve gotten more careful since I became a 30) and the 15 is titanium, I’m rolling no case for at least the first month or two. I’ve got insurance so if I break a screen it’s just like a 23 dollar deductible to fix a screen 🤷🏼‍♂️
