Do you have a link to what you use or the name?
Search item B0999RRMK6 on amazon. I don't use the lanyard lol or the belt loop thing. I replace it a few times a year, not because it wears out, but I figure it gets kinda nasty. I used to wash em.

I thought back glass was $29, and why wouldn’t they just replace it on your device instead of giving you a refurbished one?I rock my 14 Pro without a case and have AC+ on it. I have dropped it once and shattered the back glass completely. $99 later, I got a new refurbished 14 Pro and sent my damaged one back. Looking at the frame of the phone, I do see some scratches on the SS edges, but that doesn’t bother as it‘s not impacting the screen.
If I do get the 15 Pro, I would also rock it naked.
The natural titanium frame looks amazing and would be a shame to hide it in a case.
I honestly don't see the point in ordering Natural Titanium if you're going to put it in a case, unless it's a clear one.
Interesting read re: PVD coating, thanks for sharing this information.I use Titanium shaving razors and the look of brushed and mirror polished Titanium is liquid and lustrous.
The screensaver and website animations on 15 Pro seem to represent some sort of powdered coating (a guess) and perhaps that is representative of PVD....the coating is used in high end watches to protect against scratches anyway.
So use of a case may be moot for IP15 Pro.
"One of the remarkable advantages of PVD coating in luxury watches is its exceptional scratch resistance. The hard layers created through this process act as a barrier, safeguarding the underlying metal from everyday wear and tear."
Apparently, PVD coatings can also wear off, depending on the expertise of the facility that does it...which means
natural Ti seems to be the most prudent choice (for me).
I dont know whether PVD affects the lustre and sheen of uncoated Ti...we shall see...but for now, I will use without
case. Screen protector, a big YES!
That’s true. I don’t think you can drop your naked phone onto the ground without causing at least some superficial damage.

They drop their phones by accident as accidents can happen. I have dropped my iPhone 13 onto concrete from waist height and, because it’s in a case, the phone sustained zero damage. That’s fine if you don’t use a case but you are taking on a lot more risk that I would rather live without.I'm unsure why people without cases drop their phones. I've damaged exactly two of my iPhones over the years, and in neither situation would a case have helped. I think I don't drop my phone because I don't use a case (i.e., I'm much more conscious about it).
I totally understand people that use cases, trust me. But for me, no case, ever.
It’s a couple hundred dollars. Maybe with this version for which they claim the back glass is more easily replaceable the cost will hopefully be lower.I thought back glass was $29, and why wouldn’t they just replace it on your device instead of giving you a refurbished one?

Ah with AppleCare, I was quoting without which is what I was charged a few years ago
I originally responded to a user that said they had AC+, and was asking why they were charged $99. I’m guessing they had more than just back glass damage. Either way, AC+ seems to be a good safe bet if going naked (though I will still use a screen protector).Ah with AppleCare, I was quoting without which is what I was charged a few years ago
Might be some validity in this. I have sometimes studied both kinds more in detail, the ones with and the ones without, and come to the interesting observation that they act differently with their phones in general. It’s like you can easily tell which ones that have cases and which don’t most of the time. Roughly speaking, the ones with cases seam to just be more casual and “careless” and the ones without are more mindful and appreciative of the way they hold and handle the phone. It’s like they actually are holding a precious thing, often two handed, and clinging on to it as it’s an important object. I’m usually right when guessing just by looking how they behave with their phone. Funny that. I do go caseless but with screen protector most of the time, but will use case when doing more risky activities, since the 3GS until the current 14PM.That's totally fair.
I have this hypothesis that the very act of having a case makes people more prone to dropping them because there's a part of their brain that considers the phone protected in a sense. Whereas those of us without cases are probably more likely to be much more mindful of the device given that letting go of it several feet above the ground would be a sad moment.
Some people really enjoy the look/feel of their premium device and are willing to take on the additional responsibility of keeping it safe in order to go without a case, while others really just don't want to worry about it and use a case to afford them that freedom. Both are perfectly valid. 🤓
