I don't know if I've just been excessively lucky, but I've never put a case on any smartphone I've owned since 2010, and I've only cracked the screen on two of them. These days (probably for the past 4 years) I do put the thin-film screen protectors on as well, and replace them if they get damaged.

I've always been of the feeling that I'm buying this lovely, well-designed piece of hardware, why would I want to cover it up in an ugly plastic case?

I don't put cases (or even screen protectors) on mine either (since 2015). I've dropped it many times, obviously, but I've only ever had the edges of the phone get the slightest nicks - which I prefer to having a case on it.

Exactly because you have cracked the screen on two of them. I (and many others with a case) am at 0 cracked screens.

We can throw anecdotes to each other all day. I've been using smartphones since 2010 as well. Never used a case. Never cracked a screen.

That was exactly my situation, too. Until just recently, when I cracked two almost back-to-back.
