no thanks, sometimes it's already too easy to touch the screen when gripping the phone with my palm
I so much hate fashion in tech.

Learn how to hold a phone. Pinky fingers at the bottom, the rest of your fingers at the back, thumbs free for operating the screen. You shouldn't be gripping it on the sides.
oh you certainly should. like when the bus is in motion. or when you are not standing but you are horizontally. in those situations your smart way of holding the phone does not really work out
Apparently it does, considering I haven't dropped a phone in years while you are so paranoid about it that you equate it to car accidents. I think it's pretty obvious which one of us is doing it wrong.
have you ever rode a bus with the phone in the hand that needed to break suddenly?
have you ever used your phone while in bed?
Yes and yes. No issues.
I have a curved smartphone with thin bezels. Unless, you use the phone without any case. Its fine. The touch rejection on my current phone is good so accidental touch has never been a issue. On the other hand the immersive views make the experience good.
Idk, mine are very thin and with a case on it's not a problem. More screen real estate while keeping the same dimensions is a good thing imo.
You can do it without a case too, these people just don't know how to hold a phone properly.
"properly" wth
sometimes you are not standing when holding the phone.
sometimes you are also at a high place and you (or others at least) grip your phone more to make sure it does not fall
I so wish we didn't design phones such that we need to then also put extra material friction and padding on them. It's intentionally bad engineering in order to cater to a feeling of luxury in fragility.
The discussion was about accidental presses, that's a problem that is non-existent for 99% of people because they use a case (to protect the phone from drops bc it's glass). Glass screens are afraid of drops, but most people prefer that to plastic that scratches really easily. I'd rather not go back to plastic screens.
If you want, you can buy a drop-resistant phone with thick bezels and extra padding already included. XR21 for example, or whatever unihertz is doing. Plenty of phones have started doing grippy panels too.
You don't need a case, just stop dropping your phones.
This was what I did until it became fashion to also make phones slippery as fish.
Plenty of phones out there with non-glass backs, but you can also just put a skin on it if grip is an issue.
you don't need a seatbelt, just don't crash
