A new study from Android Authority has shown us the number of people who use covershow many protective, and how many prefer to go with their phone naked, without any type of protection. And although they don't specify the type of phone, this is important.
And, thanks to AppleCare+, many iPhone users do not have a protector or case, since, for little money, if their screen breaks, they could get a replacement, thus being able to enjoy the highest quality of the terminal without added accessories.
How many people use a case on their cell phone?
When we talk about whether or not it is advisable to use a case and screen protector, the first thing that surprises is how clear most users are. Although today's phones come with more resistant crystals and quite solid finishespeople still prefer to add an extra layer of security. In the end, we all know how much it costs to repair a screen or how quickly a scratch can ruin a mobile phone that still looks like new, something that, over time, may matter less to us.
Data from a recent survey goes a long way toward understanding this trend. Thousands of people participated and, seeing the results, it is clear that protection is still the norm. Most of them are not complicated: cover, protector and live in peace. There are those who choose to use only one of the two, and there are also the bravest ones who carry their cell phone “naturally”, but they are a minority, at least for now.
- 60% use a case and screen protector at the same time.
- 28% keep only the cover.
- 5% prefer to use only a screen protector.
- 8% do not use any type of protection.
Reading people's opinions, it becomes clear why many do not take the risk: all it takes is for the phone to fall badly once, or for a little sand to get into the pocket, for scratches to appear that are impossible to ignore. Others, however, say they can't stand the feel of the protectors or that they want to enjoy the design of the phone as it is. In the end, everyone has their reason, but the numbers make it clear that Most people prefer to be safe rather than sorry.. And seeing what a smartphone costs today, it is easy to understand why.
However, this depends a lot on the type of device, since a 100 euro terminal is not the same as a 1,200 euro terminal, as well as having insurance, AppleCare style on iPhone, as not having it and paying the full cost of a repair. That is why these data, despite being interesting, leave us with a bitter taste as they are not segmented in a better way, and we would like you, in the comments, to tell us what type of device you have, and if you meet any of these options. In my case, with the iPhone 17, I am one of those “crazy” 8%, who do not use a protector or a case, although it never hurts, depending on the activity to be carried out, since no one likes their phone to end up scratched, no matter how nice it is to use it without anything.
