I left my phone in the box so that it doesnt get scratched or anything.

Sweet
Actually, that's what my coworker does. Everytime he gets his phone out of his backpack, he has it in it's original box and carries it like that. I find that weird although his phone gets never scratched
I left my phone in the box in the store. So it doesn’t get scratched or anything
Of course they don't use cases. They have drawers full of phones.
im on a super tight budget and i never use a case. I just use a glass screen protector so that i dont have to see all of those scratches on my display.
I don't use cases... I don't exactly have the money to throw at new phones either, haha. I just really dislike covering up the phone. Much like him, I buy mostly based on the design, and feel.
Brock Crow yep you got the right 👍 it’s a lot different when we normal phones users have typically one phone so we can’t afford to be upgrading to a brand new phone every year
Totally agree..free phones who needs to worry about protecting them...
My 2 month old Redmi note 4 dropped on concrete floor and it was saved due to a defender case. Case helps 📱

I scratched it with a metal toothpick and bent it really hard, and proceded to tear it apart and attempt to put it back together.
cambry wants to know your location
I used to wear cases on my phones till I realized I have never dropped it so I went caseless on my next phone and still haven’t dropped it. It depends how careful you are with your phone.
I don’t drop my either I just like the way cases look
I never dropped my phone with a case so i took the case off and the next day it shattered when it fell out of my pocket
Accidents happen
I use wallet case for phone, not because of me having a fear of dropping my phone more about having it in my bag...there are some sharp objects in there... Like keys...they are always in the bag.mirror...umbrella , metal details on makeup bag and regular wallet, and sometimes other stuff.
I got iPhone 11 Pro 2 months ago and dropped it about 4x already
I can't believe he actually uses the phone that he destroyed as his daily driver 😂😂😂

You ruined the video, i don't think you should every be with Jerry
yes, but most of known youtubers can buy another phone very easily if something happen, most of us can not
Did you notice what that woman said? “It depends on the phone I want to use today” Oh, no shit she doesn’t always use cases, she got to choose from. (No hate btw)
They even receive them for free
And still half of them used cases
@@omarkharnivall2439 yeah but i think their daily drivers much be the one's that they got with their own money. For instance Zack's using his device for 2yrs now. It just depends on which phone they like to use. So they definitely would try to protect it with a case or something
Always have insurance for your phone
As a wise man once said "Phones are made of glass, and glass breaks" I always use otterbox, but then again, I drive a concrete truck for a living. I still have my old Lg P500h in a case
I always wondered why they're not plastic.
They are not plastic because phone companies will not have sales if they sell durable phones. Its their strategy to make glass one so people will break, repair and rebuy phones.
I read that in Sam Elliott's voice.
Amateurs, I use a resin to coat the whole phone

Mr mobile always goes above and beyond. His cinematic shots even for a simple feature on Zach's channel is awesome!
From a technical perspective there are several reasons to have a case. Electrocution being the most freaky one. An increasing number of people are being electrocuted by badly designed chargers. The metal rim around the phone is referenced to the circuitry 0V rail and makes a perfectly shaped hand electrode that you will NOT be able to let go of. The phone will charge as normal because it sees the 5V, but if your body bridges between the live case and ground you will potentially pass a fatal level of current. The more savoury reasons to have a case are that the tiny amount of extra shock absorption when you drop the phone will significantly increase the chance of avoiding a very expensive broken screen. Not that you'll drop it so easily, as a good case will provide a better grip.
lol, there's no way a phone, connected to a milliamp transformer, can develop enough amperage to fatally shock or even give much of a buzz at all.
@@AwesomeFinish does happen, speaking from experience. Somehow Got myself a shitty charger, left my phone on the ground to let it charge, few mins later when I went to grab my phone I got a little shock, it wasnt too much but the shock was there. It was an iphone 5s.
@@disturbedhooligan1488 You got fatally shocked by it?
You need to understand that phone charger is switched mode rectifier, rectifying voltage of 240V down to 5V that goes to your phone. Using basic OHM law, it goes : I=V/R. I - current (50mA across the heart can5be fatal) and it is current that kills you, not the voltage V - Voltage R - resistance of your body (skin) So, I = 5/1000 = 0.005A - 5mA. Since current required to become dangerous for the human is 50mA, you can see that 5mA in theory can not be dangerous for you, unless you get 2 needles, connect them to charger, stab them on each side of the heart and let the current flow and see what happens. But in normal circumstances, you see that current is too small to kill.
what about screen protectors, any good reason to use them..? i mostly want zero scratches on my display, not even microscratches. will any screen protector help with that or am I better off without one?
Poor guy he didn't know that this phone scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7.. 4:50

I dropped my phone couple weeks back while removing my case, and it broke. Sad. Always use protection guys, especially if you are broke
Not broke but having protection saves time and increases the chances of surriving the drop
lakshya grover exactly, my iphone 6 is still in service since 2015 because of protection
@@rider7546 iphone 6s in my home
so the case made you drop your phone lol
Yeah, if you hadn't had the case, you wouldn't have dropped it
I get a case but not only for protection but so I can actually hold the phone without registering accidental touches on the side of the screen every 6 seconds.
what phone do you have?
@@rayer6445 probably phone with edge screen on the side. samsung for example.
You need to have a dedicated pocket for your phone. don't put other crap in there with it. I find the worse problem is leaning against the phone, or having it put pressure on it when you stretch your leg out or are moving around. these phones have gotten so big, that's the newest problem.
I have the Samsung Galaxy S7. JerryRigEverything has tested the S7 Edge, the bend test on the S7 Edge basically had hardly any difference on the structural strength before and after the bend test. Since the S7 is smaller, then it would survive better, simply because it covers less surface area and most likely, it has the same measurements inside involving the thickness of the structural involvements of the phone. So I'm pretty sure that what you're talking about, it literally shouldn't do basically anything to a flagship phone.
mikedrz that what I do
My left pocket is my smartphone pocket. Nothing but my phone goes in there.
Tyler Aschen Right one for me. Only the phone and paper money can go there.
I agree way to big and for us ladies that like to carry them in our pockets...they are almost non pocketable. We need smaller phones or bigger pockets😉
Naked here. I share Michael Fisher's same thoughts on cases. Call me crazy, but I just don't see the point of making a phone with premium materials to just put a cheap piece of plastic/rubber on it to protect it. I don't put anything on my car to protect it because I like how my car looks.
Joseph Rego Also the real selling point on a smartphone is its design, cause lets be honest, nowadays every smartphone can do everything expected on a smartphone to do. The biggest difference (almost the only difference) is design, and cover it just doesn't seem right...
Exactly. Why protect something when you're never gonna look at it?? At least IDK, put a skin after it gets badly scratched and looks really bad, but I see no point (other than resale) in protecting anything if you're never gonna be able to appreciate what you're protecting in the first place.
O um, no thanks. 👍
O I'm going to get off this exit and take the high road. Take care brother! ✌️
I think you can't compare something that is unnoticeable (3M clear film protection) with something that will always be visible (any kind of protection on a smartphone). Also you aren't touching the paint on your car all the time, but you ARE touching your phone ALL the time, so there's a difference with the feel also.
This is relevant to me - the more careful I am the more likely I am to drop my phone, but when I am careless I never really drop my phone unless I do on purpose
I like to put my case on the opposite side so it covers the screen. Just a little bit more protection
I put my phone in at least 5 inches of bubble wrap
What?! Only 5 itches?! My personal reference is more than 7 itches , 10 when I'm going for a run :^)
OMG 😱 that's a prismatic big protection case 😳! A leather case and glass screen protector is a good option 👍...
i like my phone like my women... NAKED!

S Watson Well, anyone who would type that comment probably isn't a day older than 15, so that's a start.
"I can afford a new phone if mine breaks, so I don't bother protecting it." Pretentious as hell
But it's true
i would do the same if i were rich
I do a mix, some days I just like the way the phone feels naturally. It never looks richer in design than when it's without a case. I adjust to the situation, but for the most part, I like my phone being naked at home and put a case on it if I am going out.

Don't you hate it when you can't decide which phone to use
Lincoln Stanley Yeah. I really do feel there is a definite bias here for the KZheadrs with multiple unlocked phones they can just switch to should they catastrophicly destroy their current primary. edit: grammar
Ya, when you only have one phone and need to make it last a year and a half or even two years, you tend to want to protect it. Lol
Lincoln Stanley in delima to buy Samsung note 5 or Nexus 6p 😂
Matt Bryant exactly
Lincoln Stanley yes poor them. They can't decide weather to use a s8 ,pixel or iPhone 7s(8). Truly they are tormented. Especially that dude with a scratch 1 mm long.
I've never ever used a screen protection or a case. I totally agree with MrMobile, we have the same opinion.
Thanx Jerry. Usefull info. Got my self a Oppo Reno 10 x zoom with its stock case and a screenprotector. I am wondering if i should upgrade the case.
Also, I would say most KZhead reviews don't really need to protect their phones since a lot of them get free ones from the phone manufacturers.
+James Neilson I've never gotten a free phone from a mainstream manufacturer. I'd say most of us youtubers still buy our phones.
Maybe because of what you do to the phones lol
still, most of them don't feel like it's really important to protect their phone since they'll be switching between phones regularly. for the common people that have only one phone for use, ruining it is a risk not worth taking.
Well most of us cannot afford to purchase 10 smartphones a year.

for me, every scratch has its history and that makes my phone unique.
Dmytro Bogdan hahahaahah that's true I was thinking about scratches this way a long time ago but my phones had a lot of scratches and I tend to change them like my t-shirts so basically I do carry a case just not to scratch it and when I get home I take it
George Diamant the process of "undressing" is tedious sometimes :)
oh shit. why are their scratches all over my phone? wtf is the history, they suddenly appeared. damnit I have so many scratches wth.
Zetsuke4 I mean major scratches, try to clean your pockets out of sand sometimes :)
Dmytro Bogdan I was replying to your comment about how history of scratches like there are 200 scratches randomly appear no memory of when it got there so there's no story behind each scratch and fingernails and case scratch !
Glass screen protectors are like getting a new prescription of glasses; you really notice for the first few days and then you forget it’s there
I’ve always used a lifeproof case on my iPhones. I’m using the iPhone 6s+ and decided to take the case off I haven’t had a case on my phone for several months and I’ve been pleasantly surprised to see no scratches on the front or back.
When I'm at home, no case. My phone has a glass back with metal rails and it feels GREAT in my hands and I love to just sit and admire the quality and thin bezels. When I leave home tho, I slap the case on.
So you just look at your phone like eye candy? I guess when your done browsing the same posts from different social media sites you need to do something to make yourself feel special

buy an outdated flagship phone. Like the S7 jerry uses. Phones get pretty cheap over time since there are phones being updated and made like crazy in the market. Wait for an offer and you can get your hands on some pretty sweet tech.
My 2nd mid-ranger in a row. Why pay so much for a smartphone? Screen protector and wallet case with detachable case.
I use a leather sleeve which is lined on the inside with fabric, for when i carry it in my pocket or coat, take it out when i use it, no screen protector or snap-on case.
For the last 4 years I have been using ironman hybrid case. Mostly black, red and greyish blue, plus a screen protector. Phone value already drops to around 60% after one year, so important to keep them pristine for resale.

My Nokia 3310 need a case to protect the world from being destroyed........
Holly Hsieh yes man my Nokia fall on my mac book and the screen is destroyed now a days I also use a case for the nokia
For the longest time apart from my very first smartphone, I use my Android smartphones without a case. Case on point, when one day I dropped my Nokia 6.1 Plus onto a concrete floor, the back glass shattered, collected dust and made the phone really look ugly. From there on, I learned my lesson to use a case especially now that I made the switch to iPhone SE 2020.
Even with four years passed, the vid quality is amazing!!
I did not use a case on my iPhone 6S Plus.. however, on my S7 Edge I do use one.. not because of protection, but because of three other reasons. Samsung's own case actually (see point 3). 1. Prevents me from accidentally touching the screen at the wrong place, as it is easier to hold with one hand. It has terrible palm rejection.. so accidentally hitting things on the side happens a lot without one.. especially with one hand usage. 2. Better grip, compared to the glass. So it is easier to hold. 3. The case is the Samsung Lens Case, meaning it comes with two lenses that I can pop on and off the phone when taking photos. I really do love the wide angle lens on it, as it also does not add any black borders to the picture like unofficial lenses often do.
Aleksander Hoff Damn. My S6 Edge Plus has perfect palm rejection lol.
Did anyone else notice the 728,589 unread emails they guy at 4:27 has
Ouch
Ha my life 😅
He's a popular content creator he will definitely have a ton of emails per day.
There's nothing "Average" about that xD
I didn't
I used cases on my phone's because I always felt like chucking them across the room in anger, but then I realized that I've never even dropped one, so I stopped.
Got a curved glass screen protector on, amazing bit of kit you put on with liquid glue and a uv light. Was put on first day, along with a thin clear case. My phone needs protection from me.
I'm use screen protection all the time, because when it scratch, i just need to replace the screen protection rather than spend more money to repair my screen, even though nowadays phone protected by Gorilla Glass or Sapphire coating, it still gonna scratch after 1-2 years of normal use, and i'm kind of guy who only replace my phone after 3 - 4 years, so i want to see my phone in a mint condition as long as i can.
for us who are sure that we are not gonna buy another phone in at least 3 years, I'm pretty confident to say that I use a case + a screen protector and damn if there is any other security thing, I will definitely apply that as well.
I have a Mous limitless 3.0. case, this thing is insane. Its a one layer case so no fumbling around with a bunch of layers, you just slide it off, and it looks really nice, and it has withstood some nasty drops.
I use cases but I don’t like the screen protector, it just feels really nice without it. It’s probably because I used plastic protectors in the past so I always have this in my mind. Glass may feel just as nice.
i've been a case-less person since day one.. feels good to feel the desing and texture.
Jose L Brito idk the iPhone 6 felt like butter in the hand
Galaxy S7 Edge (Note 7 Return)
I have an iPhone 6s Plus. I have always used both screen protectors and cases. And that's due to iPhone having a really good resell value. I can upgrade every year to the newest iPhone model by selling my phone and adding between 100-200$. And that's because my phones are always in a flawless shape due to the protection.
At least in Finland, just a basic home security that people usually have anyway covers the glass of your phone. So no matter how expensive apple or any other manufacturer makes the repair, I only have to pay that 50-100€ deductible. That versus an expensive case makes the running naked approach quite desirable.
it actually depends on how you use it. i use case and tempered glass because i sometimes forgot to lock my phone on it's holder when i use it as a navigator when riding a motorcycle. it's a big help compare to no protection.
If i was a famous tech youtuber that companies send me all the new smartphones to review i would never use a case or screen protector. Its all comes comes to how your financial situation
Tamir DrawUp yea that pretty much sums it up. I never used a case until the 6+ came out. Before that I knew if I broke a screeen I could sell the phone and buy a new one relatively inexpensively. But with the higher cost of the 6+ and AT&T changing things that wasn’t going to be possible so a case a screen protector went on.
I agree I love having my phone naked, I used to have a skin on it however I removed it, not due to pealing or imperfections or anything just that I wanted to touch the premium materials again.
I have the iPhone X without a case nor a screen protector. I'm sure I'll never drop it. Dbrand skin for grip
Just because you have the money doesnt mean you can/have to throw $1000 at a new phone all the time because you break it so often. Some people care about their belongins and dont take things for granted
I prefer to use a case for a more comfortable grip on my cheap phone
Thanks agent 47!
If it was held in 2019, it would be a resounding 'Yes' from the general consumers.
I use a UAG Monarch on my iPhone 11 and an edge 2 edge glass screen protector. Also I bought a port plug to keep dust and debris out of the lightning port.
I am so glad that only one guy said he didn't use a case, and not to be like him. Before I use a phone, I always have a screen protector to put on directly after taking the phone out of the packaging. Then the phone goes in a case. That way there's no chance of screen damage prior to the protector, and no chance of the phone breaking. I say that it would of course be that one time you use a phone without that case where you would drop it. Also, I buy my phones. MKBHD made a video about using phones without a case, but the guy has drawers full of phones. Not that big of a deal if he breaks one, but big deal to me.
I also find the grip of cases more comfortable. In my case (pun intended) the iPhone 5s feels hard and sharp without a case around it.
Do you cover a TV remote as well? Like a grandma. :) Phone's body/housing and gorilla glass are protection of the phone components already.
Case? Never. I buy a slim phone because I want it to be slim. I buy a nice colored phone because I want it to look nice. I buy a nice textured phone because I want it to be nice to hold. Also, under heavy pressure, my phone tends to heat while covered. Also, about screen protectors. They look and feel terribly bad for me. Nothing is quite like perfectly flat Gorilla Glass surface if my screen. How they look? Horribly. Dust gathering at the edges of them is awful. My phone looks all right after 1,5 year. Screen never cracked or even scratched from dropping, even tho I dropped it a few times pretty badly, nothing happened from carrying around in pocket or anything else. Back has some small scratches, not too bad tho. I've never seen a reason to put it in a case, never thought about putting screen protector on. I'm doing just fine without them.
@@lyopschet7230 you talk like that because you've never scratched a brand new phone. It breaks your heart forever.
Totally agreed with Mr Mobile... Every skin or case can make me crazy because of ruining the design of the device. I can't stand it so i use plastic screen protector, because of the occasional drops. I rarely can scratch the screen but i occasionally drop it and it helps to prevent screen from cracking.
I use a leather flip cover with a screen protector. Looks super cool like reading a digital book, and offers the best protection overall.
4:27 Those email notifications are giving me anxiety. I'm the person that reads every email. This would drive me crazy.

welll...fully covered with a case and a tempered glasss but i usually take the case it off when i am home.
G kev Same here
G kev you'll wear out the case and make it loose if you keep taking it on and off.
SilverSniperz Umm. . by the time it get loose i would have bought another one....but Yeah...you have a good point man...but you know i also love to see my phone naked sometimes😉
G kev yeah me too!
G kev I use otterbox symmetry case and screen protector, and when I'm home I simply slip of the case! Works very well and I love it
I always use everything I can. On my last two phones I use a a glass on the back with a skin on top and a glass on the front with a matte film on front (I game a lot, matte feels better and allows more control) and I use a multitude of cases, depending on the ocasion. Both phones, after years of using, look like new to this day. It feels good to see my investment prooving right.
when my V40 arrived, a speck case and glass screen protector were on the bench already. it went from sealed box immediately to the case.
Plastic screen protection, replace every six months or so. Vinyl protection like dbrand or another vinyl. A perfect fit, lightweight and thin case for daily use. A bulky protective case for use in risky enviroments (trekking, mountain, beach, a trip backpacking, etc).
Hi 2019 here! I just wanna say salute to this man for using a scratched phone with deeper grooves and a burn mark for a year just wow
I like to use a skin, with a case and a screenprotector! The reason for that is because I buy a phone myself and when I want to move on, I like to resell my old phone and I like it to look almost as new as when I got it. I currently have the Samsung Galaxy S10+ with a D-Brand carbon skin on the back (not on the camera module, because I don't like the look of that and the camera module has a really small chance to scratch in my opinion). The case I use with it is a Mous clear case, it has a clear hard plastic back, so you can see the skin and it won't get yellow. The surounding of the skin is black plastic which is a little bit more flexibel than the back and the inside of the case has shock absorbers. Then for the screenprotector, I use a screenprotector that gets customly cut out by a shop to fit the case. It is a soft plastic screenprotector, so it can wrap around the edges on the galaxy phone. Furthermore this screenprotector has a self healing kinda thing going on, so al the minor scratches disappear after a little time and use. This all doesn't cost that much, I like the look of it and they keep the phone looking almost brand new! I got all this protection for around €75,- and it protects like everything! So to round everything up, I use a d-brand skin (without camera skin), a clear back Mous case and a plastic screenprotector (from Mediamarkt).
Glad you recommend people to use a case
I always go nude, don't regret it the first few weeks until an accident has occurred. Then I'll regret it instantly.
Bread Loaf same
we advanced from plastic to metal phones. why downgrade to plastic again

I’ve always used some sort of case. I never broke any of my phones, and sometimes when I go to occasions, I either use a more classy looking case, or I just go without anything on it. I’ve been using the tech 21 cases for the last 5 phones that I had. They’ve never disappointed me. I also use a glass screen protector. I also use an otter box case when I know I’m gonna be in some rough situations. I mainly use the tech 21 case since I saw what it can withstand. When I got my galaxy s6 edge, the guy at my carrier had a tech 21 case on his iPhone 6. To show me that it’s a great case, he threw his phone across the store, and it hit the counters a couple of times. The phone was completely fine. I have been using an IPhone xs for the past 2 years now, and I haven’t managed to scratch it or break it. I’m usually very careful with my phones, and The only thing that I put in my phone pocket, it a tactical pen. And that’s only when I have a case on.
I had my phone for almost 2 years and always used a case and I never ever dropped it. So I thought screw it, I'm ditching the case. And I dropped it 2 weeks later I dropped it of course, shattering the front screen.
I agree with Michael fisher.
Kokkheang Seak Phone nerd lol
your head shines a lot
mlg69 do you know that bald men take pride in how shiny their head is?
My friend Krillin knows so much about how to keep heads shiny.
mlg69 brighter than my future
ultramrk1wolf i know that feeling
I love to have kickstands on phones so getting a case is just a bonus to getting a kick stand
Now that is a practical advice! Interesting video, thanks!
a 700$ smartphone deserved to be used unprotected
Fruitarian a 700$ piece of technology should be able to not get dents or completely break when you drop it at waist high.

Y'all playing with fire. I slapped an otter box and tempered glass screen protector on my pixel 2 and it's in prime condition. After a year+ of heavy use
What screen protector are you using and have you had to replace it at all? I just got the p3xl .. and my favorite case isn't available for this phone. So I want to get a Spigen tough armor with tempered glass screen protector.. women's pockets are dangerous and so are purses, kids, and dogs with tile floors lol. So I'm extremely paranoid of breaking it!
This is the only way to go for me. Optimum protection > broken phone
No, we're not playing with fire. At least I don't think most of us are. I used my galaxy note 4 it's whole life with literally only a screen protector. (And I got it used, and the previous owner didn't use a case nor a screen protector) And guess what, it was flawless, just like your pixel 2 is, except a couple of scratches on the screen from the previous owner. It was in such great condition only for the simple fucking reason that I dropped it like once or twice (from about 2 feet, with no damage) in almost three years of ownership. People that do not use protection/only a screen protector, but that know they might drop their phones quite often indeed play with fire. But most of the people I know that act like me rarely ever drop their phone, and they know that it's not very likely for them to break their phones despite the lack of protection.
Except the value of your phone is still dropping month by month
Carried an iPhone 6S daily for four full years and sold it in excellent condition.
Yes, since manufactures removed the lanyard attachment, I do need a case, without a lot of my phones would probably be at the bottom of lakes and rivers.
JRE should make a case for merch because he knows what he's talking about.
