Riding without a bicycle helmet is just never a good idea, whether you've ever hit your head or not doesn't factor into it :P
Sure, for a basic machine that allows for better than 20mph, or 35kph.
Trying to compare that to my phone is a false equivalency. Try trolling someone that hasn't had both university level ethics courses, and university level debate courses that I fucking hated. The debate ones, not the ethics. Ethics I breezed through. Debate is some absolute bullshit because you have to entertain the viewpoint of liars, like you.

What makes you say that? Wearing a helmet is always recommended, since it provides protection against debilitating injuries whether the cyclist moves at 35km/h or is at a standstill. The basic risk of injury stems from being a mere participant in traffic, after all. Just like the basic risk of a debilitating defect in a piece of electronics that gets used every day stems from it getting used every day.

While I don't understand how ethics figure into this, I'm glad that you understand how a debate works! I'll graciously ignore the no doubt involuntary ad hominem (which you as an expert will know has no place in any kind of discussion) and will ask you to now employ the most useful technique you've likely learned in that course and rephrase the original point I made in a way that makes me go "Yep, that's what I said!", because from my point of view there must be some kind of misunderstanding. What (did you think) was I equating with what?
Bought a repairable phone and only use a screen protector now. If it were to break it's not that expensive a repair (never paid more than $500 for a phone anyways, seems ridiculous to me), and I've dropped it plenty of times and it hasn't broken yet in nearly 4 years. Doesn't seem necessary.
I’ve not used a case in years. I drop it regularly when I’m at home on the carpet, but outside of that, it might get dropped from hip height once a year. I’ve only ended up with a hairline crack on a single phone in 15 years of owning them.
I always use a case and can't really think of anyone I know who doesn't.
Most people I know have cases on their phones, yeah.
But in case it is helpful my own phone (Pixel 7) has no case/screen protector. Also my phone has cracks on the back and one corner so this tracks :P (but otherwise it has held up quite well)

Case and screen protector. This phone cost me over a grand, and you only need to drop it once.
Would you drive a car without a seatbelt?
Is the screen protector really necessary?
I've never used it, just a cover on the back.
I keep my phone in my pocket, and stuff will always end up rubbing against it. I plan on either reselling or giving this phone away in the future, so in keeping it as mint as possible.
There's already a few noticeable scratches on the protector (S25 Ultra) so while it's a tough phone, it replaced a Pixel 5 which had a pristine front glass after I was done with it.
Keeping to the car analogies, they're like floormats. Not needed, but good to have.
Just trying interstellar on PieFed. Says 119 comments but only see four. Also not sure what profile name it'll use as I have two on one email address. (edit - it picked my old one.)
No case. Dropped and cracked my screen after 15 months. Ordered a new screen on mobilehq and will install next week. I prefer the lightness and the soft back of my g84.
.. And now on the PWA the username it shows is my new one, and all comments visible. I think Interstellar needs more work.
I don't use protective cases with any of my phones. I've read that phone cases can cause them to overheat, as they trap the heat in and seeing that my phones already get pretty hot after most gaming sessions, I just don't use them.
I do, however, have pop sockets for all of my phones and when I leave the house, I always carry my phones in a purse when I'm not using them.

I didn't for a long time, but I did eventually get the most basic, thinnest black rubber "sleeve" I could fine just to prevent basic slipping. Nothing to protect falling really.
I use one because it had one in the box. Otherwise, I would've purchased one since the back is prone to scratches and degradation. It also adds a level of protection to the phone.
I stopped using a case a couple phones ago. Haven't broken anything yet and my last phone was 7 when it stopped getting security updates and I had to move on.
My wife always uses a case and screen protector and has still broken more than one.
I never use a case for my phone, and have broken them only twice, which is a better success rate than most people I know. I wouldn’t buy a sports car and cover it up to drive it, so why would I cover my expensive phone to use it? I do get AppleCare though, so I’m not out a full 1k if disaster strikes.
I don't have a case on my work phone. I carry two phones so I don't need the extra bulk and if it breaks oh no I have to get a newer phone!
I have a friend who put the money into Screen Protector & AppleCare instead of a case
I used a Dbrand skin for awhile.
I used to but now I'm using a very thin case from Latercase. I'd say cases are the norm.
I don't use one, though my phone is second hand and I charge it wirelessly. A case would make it change worse
I use a case to add magsafe to my android phone, because I like the magnetic holder/charger idea ,na swish all phones had it built in.
I have a cheap, clear magsafe case for my Pixel 9.
I also have a screen protector, and when I have the phone out of the case, it feels weird in my hand when I brush the edge of the screen protector.
