I now use no case at all and have gone for years without a case. I found the phone now is smaller and more light weight. I got a bright pink one so it is easy to find. The phone now fits in a pocket or small bag. It functions as my glucose meter so is always with me. I still find an app that finds the phone helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351602 Sat, 03 Feb 2024 07:27:14 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Everyone!&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Zaeobi&nbsp;</b>thanks for the detailed input, very helpful!<b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351594 Sat, 03 Feb 2024 04:10:23 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2351594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like my <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.otterbox.com/?gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAwvKtBhDrARIsAJj-kThfoWE9xajwLkzsRjgZbspjK6Ueaaa5QLq5DeX3BXLwrpDqTOetYhgaAnyKEALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds">Otterbox</a> case. It's not an elegant option, but it's pretty tough. I like it because I carry my phone with me when I go for bike rides, and I like knowing that it's fairly well protected should I drop it while digging around in my handlebar bag or something during a ride. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351577 Sat, 03 Feb 2024 00:15:23 +0000 Sal 2351577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried a few options over the years but am loving my hard cover from Casetify. I customised it and love it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351574 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 23:49:24 +0000 Zaeobi 2351574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS - Even if you get a case you don't like you can always switch it out for another later. In fact I recommend you do periodically, just to clean your phone (dust etc can get trapped between the case &amp; the phone over time). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351573 Fri, 02 Feb 2024 23:45:56 +0000 Zaeobi 2351573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I resisted getting a smartphone until those were the only ones being sold with internet (which I also didn't need, but then I started travelling solo for months - think all my family &amp; friends would have killed me if I had hopped on a plane to Brazil without an internet phone lol, but anyway...) I'm Team Sony. </p> <p>Those wallet covers that fold *over* the screen can be useful, but are also prone to scratching the screen if you don't also have a clear protector on the screen itself (especially if you're putting cards in the slots facing the screen). </p> <p>A wallet that folds the other way (*behind* the screen) avoids the scratching issue but otherwise can be a little bulky to handle (IMO the magnet usually weakens over time, so the cover starts flopping about at the most inopportune times - usually when you're attempting to take a photo, lol). You may have seen in my selfies that I've added a cardholder and a ring onto the *back* of my phone - I find this to be a more compact alternative. </p> <p>I think that a back cover (like you have) with a screen protector added could work for you. Otherwise, there are also 'wallet' type covers that fold over the screen but are *clear* in that part (so you can still see your phone screen). May be useful for checking the time on your phone without having to open it up (+ bonus: not adding your cards wallet to your phone case will make it easier to not use your phone as often). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351190 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 10:22:29 +0000 Star (Lise) 2351190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you lovely Fabbers.&nbsp; Always such a helpful bunch.&nbsp; My phone did come with a silicone back cover.&nbsp; Good to know it is non-slip.&nbsp; I am a clumsy klutz too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351186 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 09:15:51 +0000 rachylou 2351186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to have a case that covered the screen - opened like a book. After my one phone started typing by itself, I really needed that. But there are some drawbacks. The cover got in the way when taking pictures and I couldn’t put a PopSocket on it. So I’m back to the open face case; but drop rated. They say the ghost typing doesn’t happen anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351179 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 01:57:24 +0000 Indigoprint 2351179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can reccomend an otter box too. They are indestructible. However I have noticed tiny scratches on the screen protector from use and so am looking into a " wallet" as well just because I am picky about scratches. although I will only use it for my phone and keep other stuff seperate.<br /> Runcarla recently offered info regarding her wallet phone case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351174 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:40:12 +0000 Val MN 2351174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Lesley said. Also what Angie said about non-slip materials. It helps avoid dropping the thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351173 Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:31:53 +0000 Kate 2351173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a clear hard cover with rounded corners that I bought from Amazon for the back only—my phone is butter yellow, so I like that to show. I don’t use a screen protector. I drop my poor phone with some regularity, but the cover protects it when it lands on its face. I normally carry it in my purse or in a pants or coat pocket if I’m not using a purse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351159 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 21:13:46 +0000 Lesley 2351159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have used a glass screen cover for years. It protected my phone from a smash once; I was very happy to have it. If the phone falls, the glass cover breaks, not the phone's screen. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351148 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 18:46:38 +0000 Sloper 2351148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am an absolute klutz and got an OtterBox rubber case for my phone. &nbsp;Comes with a thin plastic screen cover, &nbsp;I’ve dropped my phone many times with no damage. &nbsp;The case is relatively bulky, and non-stylish, but they do offer slimmer cases, some with designs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351138 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 17:00:29 +0000 Helena 2351138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for team Motorola!! We are small but mighty (in NA at least ... I think it's the leading brand elsewhere).</p> <p>I have a simple and not overly aesthetic case with a screen protector that I purchased from Amazon. It's basic black and survives every idiotic drop I do with my phone Definitely not super-fashionable but if you are anything like me in terms of phone clumsiness, it saves a lot of money on repairs ha (t<i>his is from the woman that dropped her phone and then <b>stepped on it</b> during the retrieval process!!)</i></p> <p>Here's the one I have:&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0B64TWKCT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;th=1">https://www.amazon.ca/gp/produ.....8&#038;th=</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351130 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 16:29:07 +0000 Suz 2351130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do what <b>Angie</b> does -- the way the back cover's designed it prevents the screen from touching the floor if it lands face down. So it gets smudged from fingers but not scratched. I keep the phone in my bag (or more rarely, pocket) most of the time.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yay for more WIWs from you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351127 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 15:46:10 +0000 Angie 2351127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to Team Smart Phone! Documenting life through photos is life changing, and a joy to look back on!</p> <p>I have an iPhone with a blush pink silicone cover for the back only. No need to cover the screen, IMO. It's in my bag protected. Silicone is by far my non-slip preference!

Very handy for me. I also have a cover on the face that is more to reduce glare and fingerprints than to protect it. I have dropped my phone and not broken the face - not sure if I am just lucky? It tends to drop more on the corners.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351103 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 13:18:21 +0000 The Cat 2351103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is in a simple style similar to this:<br /> <a href="https://www.phonelife.no/mobilbeskyttelse/samsung/galaxy-s23/galaxy-s23-deksel/ekte-lrveske-samsung-galaxy-s23-svart?gad_source=1&#038;gclid=Cj0KCQiA2eKtBhDcARIsAEGTG416LgvfnM7yygqJz7CFq0zuN4yVEFetQWbR7IMLYm6uE5UblTVQlbIaAjKAEALw_wcB" rel="nofollow">https://www.phonelife.no/mobil.....KAEALw_wcB</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smart-phone-hard-cover-recs-or-other-tips#post-2351102 Tue, 30 Jan 2024 13:11:35 +0000 The Cat 2351102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use a leather cover, lilac with a pretty self-pattern.
