Phone hack:

Instead of trading in and upgrading every year, use the same phone for a few years with a chunky protective case, then go case-less and use for another year or two. Feels like a brand new phone, and now you've had it for so long you'll be less worried about the little scuffs it gets with use.

Never experiencing your device without a case is a real shame. I have young kids, so I need a case. But I'm mentally and financially prepared to buy a new phone anytime between now and the and of 2027. So maybe I'll need to upgrade if I have an accident, but if not, I'll certainly be enjoying the freedom of holding a naked phone for a little while.

For context:
I've been using the Pixel 7 since launch and just threw away my case. Feels good 😊
