You have just unboxed your new device. It looks amazing. It’s so thin and feels wonderful.
So what do you do next? Buy a case and conceal its beauty. Do you use a Otterbox Defender type case and bury your phone is heavy duty protection. Or do you go still for some form of protection but not as over the top as the Defender range.
But it doesn’t stop there. You can then decide on a slim back cover or bumper style. In fact the options are endless. You have colours and materials to choose from, the size, protection and design and so much more. For each phone I have owned I have over time had 30-40 cases. It was like trying to find the perfect device made of the perfect material and designed so well it adds to the device rather than take away any style. There are aluminium cases and bumpers. These do look ok and some cost the earth. They also reduce your signal strength. This to me is a poor design. Why build a case that reduces the signal strength.
I currently use an iPhone 5 and have around 12 cases. However I have settled on 2 so far. A Gear4 Tread GT for lightweight protection and a Trident Aegis for full blown protection.
I also like using the iPhone 5 without any case.
What do you like to use and why?

You have 12 cases?! That is crazy. Sounds like a woman with shoes! I have a case but a phone is to be used so would happily use without.

Only 12, Gavin? My, you’re slipping in your old age! 🙂 For the iPhone 4 and 4s a case was really mandatory from my perspective with the glass front and back. Typically I do buy Otterbox Defenders for my phones, regardless of make & model. I haven’t bought a case for the Galaxy Note 2 primarily because, well, it’s already big enough! I do use the official flip cover and that’s enough for now. But you can be sure I am extra cautious with handling it.
