Yeah, I've gotten over the whole screen protector thing — Gorilla Glass and its like is tough and<\/i> I keep my phone in holster case most of the time so it's not banging around against my keys and the like.<\/p>\n

As to an actual case on the phone — yeah, I still want a little<\/i> something to protect it from droppage for the 2-3 years I'll have it. With the Moto X I got, I also wanted one that was see-through, so the bamboo backing I'd chosen would actually be, y'know, visible.<\/i><\/p>\n

The one I ended up with is thin enough and clear enough to do that part of the job, while providing some good grippy nubblies but not much bulk to the phone (i.e., it will still fit easily into a case designed for a Moto X).<\/p>\n

My Mobile Rules<\/b><\/p>\n

1. No cases on a durable phone that will be valueless old tech in two years when I get a new one. *<\/p>\n

2. No shitty three dollar plastic film to 'protect' nigh-fucking-indestructible gorilla glass screens.<\/p>\n

* – Protective cases become viable when the devices they encompass get heavy enough to qualify as tablets; in other words, when their own weight makes it more likely they can't withstand being dropped. **<\/p>\n

** – Corollary: don't buy a phone that, according to the above rule, is effectively a tablet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
