Not sure I follow. I would definitely enjoy a return to user serviceable devices, including a removable battery compartment. The phones that offer these capabilities are few and far between and often involve unacceptable tradeoffs on other features.
I haven’t minded the extra bulk from cases used, but I also don’t use Otterbox or their alternate equivalents or have a high end phone. I’ve had a case for every smart phone since I’m a clutz sometimes and nervous about breaking it. To each their own 🤷 . But regarding the original topic, I’d feel weird without a physical wallet after so many years of using one.
I’m a clumsy bastard and my insurance is £100 excess per phone repair. Last time I went without a case I think I smashed the screen 3 times in less than 2 years, so the odd £20 case has saved me a fair bit of cash over the years
Youths in my country have their debit card between their phone and phone case.
So if someone robs your phone you’re doubly fucked? Also wouldn’t that mess with using the phone payments?
Am I the only one who never uses phone cases?
We’re a rare breed it seems. I don’t like the extra bulk and I paid for a high end phone I don’t want to feel a $20 case.
How about having user-replacable back cover?

have fun paying for high end repairs when you inevitably drop it i guess?

Forget the cost. I don’t want the inconvenience. I hate dealing with broken phones.
