Moose, These cases work for me, robust, have character, protect the phone from
damage and really age well. I have 2 cases in antique plum and chestnut nubuck
leather.

Some of us treat our phones differently than others.
Some of us might even want NOT to have any added stickiness that would make
sliding the phone in and out of our belt
cases harder. If the phone had rubbery, sticky edges, that catch just as the
phone is almost out, it would actually
increase the likelihood of a drop.
If they did what you want, there's nothing I could do to get rid of it. As it
is, you can add whatever case you want.
Carol has a complete coverage, every risk, case; I hate it. When we turned our
phones in, hers was infinitesimally
cleaner than mine. Her case goes on, with new phone. Both aced the trade-in
appearance test.
Some of us don't drop our phones on bare concrete. I think I may have dropped a
cell phone a couple of times in the last
25+ years, never far, never on a dangerous surface, never any damage. I don't
think we should have to suffer for the
failings of the clumsy. :-)
I do use a simple, sides and back, hard plastic, snap-on case. I don't think
it's less slippery than the phones
themselves; certainly not much. It adds a different sort of protection that the
makers eschew, against front and back
scratches from the surfaces they are set down on. The back is completely
protected and the edges of the sides of the
case stick up a tiny bit (1 mm?) and thus keep the screen from resting on flat
surfaces.
I've had the same two of them, differentiated only artistically, through iPhone
5, 5S and SE. You've just reminded me to
swap them for the first time in ages. :-)
Ept Moose
