For me, i use a case because the damn phones are slippery as hell.

Yeah I'll never understand how anyone can use an iPhone without it being in a case, it's just not practical or comfortable to hold without a case adding grip.

Well, I'm in the exact opposite category - I don't get why people use cases.

		Surely its obvious - grip and protection. Fairly well established that they're slippy, and dropping them means gouges being taken out of the frame, or if you're really unlucky, cracked glass.

Pixel 9 is so extremely slippery that one can't help but think they designed it to need a case. I never bought a case prior to Pixel 9 but the thing is like a wet bar of soap.

Yeah when my last phone case broke I tried carrying it nude and that was what immediately struck me. So I bought some adhesive rubber knurl stickers for the edges but they wouldn't stay on because my Pixel 7 has a curved edge - would probably work well on a phone with a flat edge.

I stuck on a MagSafe metal sticker thing on the back and that little bit of greebling makes me feel a bit better holding it.

My nexus 4 had rubberized sides and it felt so nice in the hand. Been downhill ever since.

Same here. Silicon cases or those made from the material that looks like pressed leather dust were always a life saver for me
