    As if Apple won’t give up revenue raping from their repairs strategies.

    Most people have cases so makes sense to have the front tougher

    The front passed because it barely fell flat on the ground and always on the side or back…

    But does it scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7?

    Using a cellphone without a case just feels weird to me. A case just feels better in the hand for me. It’s always nice to pull the phone out of its case after years of use, seeing a brand new looking phone.

    Thank you for actually doing a real world scratch test

    My first phone I purchased with a case it was a Motorola droid bionic and I got a very thick rubber case for it. My second phone was an iPhone 5s I got an OtterBox case for that one. My third phone was an iPhone7+ I started out with a LifeProof case which was not LarshProof I have to admit but it was fixable. I fixed the LifeProof case and it did stay waterproof even though I did kind of mess it up initially. My next phone was the iPhone XR for which I have an OtterBox case with a screen protector on it. I’ve put a couple of scratches and a spider mark on the screen saver but from what I can tell the screen itself on the phone is still very good. Would I dare buy an iPhone 12 without a case? Only if I was so broke that I couldn’t afford the case. I am a klutzy individual and I really feel the need for a case for my phones. Just being honest.
    Thank you both for a very informative and entertaining video. You guys are both very professional and your presentation and I really appreciate that. I also appreciate the fact that you bring your personalities into your presentations which adds to your presentations immensely.
