When I used an android phone I had the same phone case for 2 years until I got tired of it. Now that I got an iPhone this year I got it one case for 7$(I knew I could go caseless for a few weeks because shein has some cases for 1$ but I was impatient and I heard those break easily, also when I saw the apple logo on the back on the case I was like "That's the exact phone case I wanted!") but I still bought my phone a purple phone case. Then i saw this pretty clear phone case and I had to buy it too. But a while ago I had to buy something for 1$ to get a discount and I had to buy another basic clear case. So now I own 4 phone cases and I switch them some days. I want to buy more cases but I am just waiting for the clear ones to turn yellow so I can throw them away. If I am buying a case I need it to be justified.

Ended up with 9 cases for my previous phone (12 PM)

Currently have 4 (3 in hand, one on order) for my new 15 PM.

Just the one, I usually replace them every year or so, so with every phone I've owned I go through 3 or 4 cases.

One. I use my Otterbox Defender till the Rubber Bumper is bend out of shape and then i gonna replace it with a new Otterbox Defender.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Like eight of them.

Switched many cases until i now settled on the otterbox commuter with a popsocket slapped on it. Dont need MagSafe.

iPhone 15 Plus Otterbox is made for 14 plus but it fits just fine

I currently have four: black Caudabe Sheath, midnight green Elago Silicone, clear/silver Alphex, blue Otterbox Symmetry. & a Dune Bullstrap on the way. :)

I buy and throw away, so currently I have one, when I’m done with this, I’ll order another one, throw this away and will continue to have one. But I need to start having back ups, but it isn’t really necessary seeing as tho all my cases will be the same, so no point in keeping an older version if I have a newer one.

How many Cats you can have at your place? Just asking.

I got two cases with my IPhone, and I rather use none. Thinking about an additional aluminium frame, or a Skin for the Back & for sure some Protective not covering the lenses lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

2, a clear one and a black case that covers the camera lenses (both sprigon). Mostly I cover the cameras because of my keys and metal objects in my pockets, but I switched back to the clear one so I can actually see the blue I paid for

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I have three. One Casetify one (really nice but can be bulky at times), a super cheap green one off AliExpress that I bought becuase it had magsafe and I liked the colour, and a cheap soft plastic clear case that just feels nice.

I've never had more than one case for a phone before (most phones I had never even got a case in the first place).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Way too many, maybe like 15. I gave some away. I enjoy customization when I first get the phone, but then after 8ish months I go full caseless

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

One and it’s on my phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I just have the one case with MagSafe for my 14 pro max. I will get a new one once it wears out.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I’m ashamed to admit how much I spend on cases. I find it’s a neat way to always make your phone feel fresh and different and keep things interesting and not boring. I’m aware that I’m a weirdo

I used to lowkey be addicted to phone cases lol. Back when I had the iPhone 5, i probably had around 30-40 😅 it became too much, so I vowed with each new phone id buy less and less. So now with my 13 pro max I only have 1, but I’ve really been itching to get another one recently. I sound crazy LMAO

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I understand that feeling. It’s the other way around for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I probably buy one case a month on average.

I like matching my phone to my outfit, or just having something fresh.

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect case for like ten years now. I still haven’t found one.

I tend to donate my box of cases whenever I upgrade. I’ll keep one or two I really liked in a drawer though. Don’t know why. But I like them.

One but I used it for like 10-15 minutes and took it off… Too heavy, too bulky 😓

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

a white one

a black one

a transparent one

a lavender one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have two. Both are Leather Cases from Apple. Red and black. I used the red one for two years and started using the black one early this year.

Both were 65€.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Damn if i had a case that costs 65€ i would just use it until i am done with the phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I wanted a new color. And after two years it showed a little bit of age.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

One, but i barely use it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

One. A battery case that I use when I go camping for the weekend. Otherwise, only a skin and screen protector on the phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

One clear spigen case that is turning yellow brown :(.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

A few… I had like 100 for my 4

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

One or two per phone.

iPhone 6s I had two because one ended up disintegrating. 8+ had two because the rubber ended up wearing out on the first one. 11 Pro only one because I had it for less than a year. Current 15 Pro I have one and no current plans to buy another one. It’s thick ish and has colored sides with a clear back so I can actually see my phone and see what I paid for lol.

The idea of having more cases is cool but knowing myself I’d get lazy about changing them and end up using one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

2

One I currently use. The old one as backup

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

One. How many do you guys need?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Honestly i only need one but i don’t know what’s up with my obsession over buying phone cases

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I usually have two on hand. A clear case and non clear

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I have zero cases
