so about a week ago I asked a question on Twitter asking who uses protection on their smartphone I was surprised to see that about 47% of you guys use a bulky case and a screen protector on your smartphone while about 20% of you guys use absolutely nothing I decided to ask a couple my youtuber friends to see what they use on their daily smartphones and this is what they said hey Zach and everybody it's Michael Fisher aka mr. mobile thanks for having me on to tell you about my stupid moronic stubborn dumb habit of carrying my smartphone in the nude yep I go completely unadorned no case screen protector or skin and as a result I've consigned more than a few phones to early grave so why do I do it the most pretentious phone nerd reason ever I don't like to cover up the designers intent i buy my devices based in part on how they look and feel in the hand and no matter how cool the case or sleek to skin putting anything on top interferes with that it's not a smart way to protect your multi Benjamin investment and there are some skins out there that tempt me but what can I say it's the only mobile life I've ever known thanks for the time everyone come see me at the mr. mobile on YouTube and above all don't be like me when it comes to cases Zach thank you for having unique Channel mr. safron superstar TV and so my devices a lot of you guys may already know I tend to use ad brand skin the advantage of having a skin is that my device will have some more grip and you'll be less likely to drop it it also adds zero bulk and it gives a nice custom look now the disadvantage of skins is obviously that you're not going to really get much protection if you do drop your device and for that reason when I am out and about I tend to use a case when looking for cases I always go for a soft rubber material which is not too bulky but at the same time is going to give some protection I quite like the air cushion technology from speaking cases and the other thing that I definitely look out for is a lip around display so if I was to drop my phone face-first on a hard surface which I have been in the past then it is going to have some formal protection although I cannot use a screen protector I kind of find they come in the way that's me past me anyway that's it for me guys like thanks for having me once again this is saffron Superstock TV I'll see you next time hey guys I'm crystal and yes I have Brooklyn phones before I broken actually to which considering how many phones I get here that's pretty good I would say but yeah I brought the Galaxy s7 and a Nexus 6p and I actually didn't drop these I was actually just running up concrete steps and I fell with them like I scraped my knee and everything like they just they fell with me and they kind of broke my fall so yeah they actually have the same crack pretty much like right in the edge and I really don't think like a case would have saved it because of the angle that like it fell on the concrete now sometimes I will use a case and other times I'll use a skin it really all depends on what phone I'm using where I'm feeling that day it's not really about the protection it's more about like dressing up the phone and making it look nice what's up guys Mike here de Tori Borg and one of the most frequent questions I get is what do I use to protect my phone now for the most part I think everybody should have a case on their phone because as soon as you drop it those good looks are basically ruined they're hard to resell and if you like me and like to keep them and use them in future videos you want to make sure they're in good condition for that camera so of course a good case also provides a good grip on your film so you don't drop it it's frequently and if you have a good case with a nice lip on it you don't need to add a screen protector because that means when you lay the phone flat you don't scratch the glass and glass is already pretty scratch resistant so I never see a need to add a screen shield especially since most phones have curved glass at the edges which means screen shields never fit properly anymore anyway so generally speaking I just use a really nice case with a good land table design a good grip so I don't drop it and it's not too bulky so it doesn't add to the sickness of the phone now one of my favorite cases right now is the spec positio grip and for the most part I'm just looking for a case that has a hybrid design the hard shell on the outside a rubber shell on the inside to provide some shock protection and also seals up the phone so sanding grit don't get between the case and the phone to scratch it so that's generally what I'm looking for inspect has been one of the pioneers and that sort of design and that's what I generally recommend to most people what's going on guys to travelers consumer and for me I typically like to have a case on my phone my current daily driver is an iPhone 7 plus and I'm using the Apple Levin case with it now I'm using this case because I love the look and the Apple leather cases has surprisingly whispered some pretty nasty Falls for me in the past so I'm feeling pretty confident using it here but something that I did this year that I don't typically do is go without a screen protector and I got to say guys that was a huge mistake I'm the kind of person that gets bothered with fine scratches and just by having the iPhone 7 plus in my pocket I've gotten a ton already and it's driving me crazy but I typically like to use regular screen protectors regular plastic ones they're pretty inexpensive easy to apply and if anything goes wrong I can replace it with no problem so I'm going to go back with that once I get a new iPhone or maybe actually shut my phones but definitely using an Apple leather case and a screen protector is the way to go and there you have it even among some of the top tech youtubers it just boils down to personal preference some walk around completely naked and others are completely covered I've had a lot of phones during my life and even since my very first smartphone the Samsung Vibrant way back in the day I have always had a case and a screen protector on my phone my case of choice is the OtterBox kind of like have some of the other youtubers we're talking about having a hard shell on the outside and a rubber case on the inside it has that dual layer of protection plus that little edge along the lip of the case is pretty important even if your phone has curved glass like on this galaxy s7 edge that little lip will protect the screen if it ever drops face down screen protectors are also important to me I'm not so worried about small micro scratches in fact I'm still using this Galaxy s7 edge that I used in my durability test about a year ago it's got some major scratches on it and this little burn mark so the minor scratches don't bother me as much but when I'm using a phone that is brand new the resale value is very important and that's why I put a screen protector on it because it'll look pristine if I ever go to resell it but as we've seen today it really just boils down to personal preference I am curious as to what you use on your smartphone do you have a case and a screen protector or do you walk around living life on the edge with no protection I'll be linking the YouTube channels of everyone who participated in this video today down in the video description so make sure you check them out I know before I buy any a piece of expensive technology I'd like to check out the reviews and these guys are some of the best thanks done for watching I'll see you around
