Before my new iPhone 14 Pro Max arrived, I already had a case and screen protector waiting on my kitchen counter. Some users prefer to skip cases altogether, but I'm not one of them. A brand new iPhone isn't something I buy every year, so I feel like I have to protect my investment, especially since my hectic life makes it seem like I'm running a perpetual drop test on my iPhone.Also: I made a huge Apple Watch mistakeAllstate Protection Plans recommends using both a case and screen protector because, as you can see from previous drop tests, cases have proven to be effective at protecting the back glass of an iPhone. I've seen the damage an iPhone can incur from dropping it without a case both from this video and from my own experience, so I'll stay married to my case and screen protector for now and forever.
