> An updated example for me is the iPhone. It has premium materials that are assembled with tiny tolerances and has a very nice feel in the hand. But once you’ve been impressed by these in the store and you buy it, you slap on a $5 cover and never enjoy the premium materials and physical design.
A lot of this is really just needless anxiety though. I tended to go caseless until I had kids and they're pretty durable on their own. They will collect scratches and dings but honestly the only times my phone ever falls is when I'm wearing a certain pair of sweatpants with pockets that are too small.

YMMV on how well you can hold things naturally.
