Phone hack:

  • Phone hack:

    Instead of trading in and upgrading every year, use the same phone for a few years with a chunky protective case, then go case-less and use for another year or two. Feels like a brand new phone, and now you've had it for so long you'll be less worried about the little scuffs it gets with use.

    Never experiencing your device without a case is a real shame. I have young kids, so I need a case. But I'm mentally and financially prepared to buy a new phone anytime between now and the and of 2027. So maybe I'll need to upgrade if I have an accident, but if not, I'll certainly be enjoying the freedom of holding a naked phone for a little while.

    For context:
    I've been using the Pixel 7 since launch and just threw away my case. Feels good 😊

    @pfr I did this with a Samsung S9 i got in 2019 and upgraded to a S25 last year, 6 years later. It was nice using it without a case and worked out fine. It was the battery life and fact it couldn't get OS or security updates anymore that finally made me upgrade.

    @pfr Yes, this works for me, too. I immediately use a cover (because the only time I didn't use a cover, many years ago, it fell and a dent appeared). But from time to time I change the screen protector and cover and it feels like I have a new phone!
