I honestly thought I was watching a huge youtuber I didn't hear about before, until I looked at your subscriber count. The video quality is honestly amazing, you just gained another subscriber! Go on like this and you definitely will go big.
@@mattliller But bro you still ‘tested’ it in the video and acted amazed when it did not break and you acted scared when you were dropping it. Everyone knows it would survive that drop anyways
I use only screen protector (tempered glass) because, without it, the phone loses its oleophobic coating overtime and gets lots of finger prints/smudges on it (which you have to clean often with microfiber cloth)
so you like the feel of a shit glass instead of the oleophobix coating. why do you get a new phone then, just to keep it for resell instead of enjoying it?
I have dropped my iPhone 13 Pro 3 times from waist height. 2 of those times it wasn’t in a case, and cracked a rear camera lens, and the other it chipped the bottom of the screen. It survived the drop in a leather case. If you go case-less, purchase insurance!! Using cases with a lip has always negated the need for a screen protector for me and I’ve had no issues with micro scratches on the display.
0:40 Yes as someone who went caseless like a few months after getting the 14 ProMax that is exactly what I’m trying to explain and say. Like Apple designed it like this to help hold it I swear because it feels like it digs in is easier to hold them around in case. And the drawbacks are very understandable. It’s an easy place in my phone on my table or any surface that is not soft cause I was worried that I might scratch my camera or my screen when I put it flat down and it’s hard to pick up.
I went w/o a case for a few weeks & the back is perfect. I also got 2 micro scratches out of no where (my phone is always by itself in my pocket). Got a screen protector & leather case. Peace of mind
I was shocked that u only have 440 subs (at the time of commenting this), I checked out ur channel, all of the videos have amazing production quality for such a small channel, keep up the good work! I subbed!
I just have a good quality screen protector, I always either have my phone in my hand, pocket, or if I place it somewhere I’m always only a few feet away at most, so I keep my volume on, and place my phone face down on the screen protector if I need to put it down outside my pocket. Still hear all my notifications come in, and no wobble. Also keeps my bare back glass and camera lenses from ever being on any surface that could scratch it. Only thing that bothers me is the damn fingerprints on the stainless steel. Has anyone else had this annoy them to no end but got over it? If so, how did you get over that part?
There is no solution to the fingerprint issue on the stainless steel. It sucks but you either learn to live with them, or have some sort of cloth around and continuously wipe them down 😂🤦🏾♂️
Awesome review Lol I like the comedic drop test 😂 I love going caseless now. Accidental care plan is key. You can use the phone the way it was designed. I have the Samsung Fold :)
the 300th subscriber is on board, hello! :D Gonna buy my first iphone in near future and I plan to go caseless to enjoy it as it was ment to be. I'm worried about camera shield tho, but who knows, maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks for the vid
I had my 12 pro max for almost 2 years and not once had a case or screen protector and the screen had micro scratches that’s it after a polish it looked better but not like I would’ve wanted so now I have a screen protector that’s it I can’t stand cases not only are they all ugly no matter what you get they’re bulky and make it hard to pull out your pocket reduce vibration and sound quality they can tear up the corners of your phone depending on how much you play with em or take em off and they give you a sense of security that they don’t provide I will always be case less from now on especially considering the innovations of gorrila glass and other shit like that
I never use cases only occasionally i don't like suffocating my iphone or ever charging it with a case... Even on normal use case less is way better to avoid heating it😊hello from Sénégal
I use a carbon fiber case and screen protector on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, sometimes I like to keep without a case but when it's an expensive and very good phone, I want to protect it. I have dropped it once without the case on the bathroom floor and there is a small crack in the upper left corner of the screen that you don't even notice
iphone 14 is surprisingly comfortable to hold caseless but considering mine flew off 2 times in first 24 hours of its life, its not gonna go anywhere without a case lol
I dropped mine and dam it cracked my glass protector thank god I had a 3 pack without it I know my screen would have cracked brand new iPhone 14 pro max
No need to put the phone screen side down to protect the camera lenses, those "lenses" are actually the protection layer for the real lenses behind it. Because the distance between is so small, small nicks wont show up in the actual photos because the minimum focus and aperture...yeah the rocking is annoying. I rock naked but have a nice spigen EZ fit glass screen protector, it fits 100% because it came with a "placeholder" tool, its so accurate alligned that its hard to even see there is any screen protector.
I’ve gone back a forth a few times, and like both for different reasons. I might recommend you commit to trying it for a week to see if it works for you.
@@Quiiick_ No scratches so far. I tried using cases including the original ones but didn't like the feeling when hold the phone in my hand. Even the original leather case doesn't give me the feel of a premium product, therefore I always go bare.
that was not a drop test, i understand why you wouldn't want to really break it, but still that was a safe drop from the beginning. but either way, your content is fire! i really thought you were a big youtuber and apparently not.. which is surprising. you deserve to be more known!
@@BlueShift24 Exactly the reason why I dont like screen protecters, even tho my screen protectors arent scratched or cracked, I still throw them away, The display looks way cleaner w/o it
iPhone 13 and 14 series are still the best modern iPhones for me. Maybe the next one will be the iPhone 16. But we have yet to see its durability after tech youtubers receive theirs and make some torture tests haha
I can’t imagine doing this. iPhones are so slippery and I have dry hands! I’m not a clammy hands or sweaty palms person. (I’ve never understood how people have hands that are always wet. 🤢)
Never put a case on my 14 Pro Max, because the phone's already massive, a case would turn it into a damn brick. When I sold it, the buyer couldn't even believe it was never protected by a case, it looked brand new. iPhones have come a long way in terms of durability and scratch resistance. My 16 Pro won't be in a case either!
It feels better in the hand without the case , the case I’m rockin is super bulky tho! Otter box defender pro , good case protects the phone , could use one of them carbon fiber camera numbs tho, the paint around the edges of the lenses is knicked up , no big deal glad my lense is ok but I get free screen protectors for life from t mobile, before i tried goin ceaseless like I said love the feel but an all glass phone ! And it didn’t take a week before scratches n dings were showing up idk how
I have a case that's like a no case-case lol if that even makes sense. the arc pulse...and it's liek a way of not having a case but at least you just protect your edges of your phoen and can enjoy that sleek look of the phone...but yeah something about just having the phone by itself it's something we never apprecaite since we all put cases lol
I had a S21U, that thing is impossible to operate without a case. It slips out of your hand and you touch the edge of the display all the time (even with edge touch deadzone configurations) and I was thinking on upgrading to iPhone 15 once it comes out because of USB-C. But as soon as I saw the CAD leaks that it will have rounded edges I bought an iPhone 14. I'm not going to deal with bars of soap as phones again.. Got a screen protector and that's it, no case so far, and I don't plan to put on one either.

A new born baby would survive a 4 ft drop test on grass too😂
Ha! There’s a reason the words “drop test” aren’t in the title.
@@mattliller But bro you still ‘tested’ it in the video and acted amazed when it did not break and you acted scared when you were dropping it. Everyone knows it would survive that drop anyways
Can confirm.
🤣🤣🤣
@@chrisrgutierrez
I agree I have the 14 pm and I’m not getting paid from RUclips and you would not find me dropping my phone for RUclips 😅
The drop test is insane 😂😂😂
Glad you can appreciate the great lengths I went through!!
AppleCare and a screen protector for me,no case ever

Thank goodness they brought back squared edges. I had an iPhone X that’s nearly impossible to hold caseless.
I hate cases, I used a silicone case and it keeps collecting dust, I mean hell it can replace the vacuum cleaner because it collects so much lint.
I HATE how the dust collects around the lightning port and speakers with a case. Looks terrible.
@@mattliller same, It’s really annoying, I have to constantly wipe my phone everyday to clean the lint and dusts that it picks up.
check out the arc case for the iphone, it gives you minimal drop protection but keeping your phone as naked as possible. It's a cool looking "case"
I went w/o a case for a few weeks & the back is perfect. I also got 2 micro scratches out of no where (my phone is always by itself in my pocket). Got a screen protector & leather case. Peace of mind
The scratches do seem to pop up unexpectedly. I’m thinking of adding a screen protector myself.
I feel like the screen on the 14 pro do get alot more scratches than the 13 pro
I just bought my phone a magically there’s 2 scratches
Wow what a lovely drop test 👏🏻👏🏻
I think my brain can also handle grass drop test. Lol
I may have AppleCare, but I’d rather not have to use it!
@@mattliller Hahahah indeed 👍🏼👍🏼

I might not get a case but a screen protector ofc because i like the look of the phone without it, mainly cus of the stainless steel sides
I just have a good quality screen protector, I always either have my phone in my hand, pocket, or if I place it somewhere I’m always only a few feet away at most, so I keep my volume on, and place my phone face down on the screen protector if I need to put it down outside my pocket.

Very smart idea, and I second the issue with fingerprints. Just one of the joys of the iPhone!
There is no solution to the fingerprint issue on the stainless steel. It sucks but you either learn to live with them, or have some sort of cloth around and continuously wipe them down 😂🤦🏾♂️
Luckily there was grass to save the phone!! Great review man!
Thanks for the kind words. And yes, that drop test was a nail biter!

Thanks for watching!
I went without a screen guard for a month, got 3 scratches like your showed in the video on my iPhone 13, I mean not bad

Are you still going caseless ? I might try

Been using my 14 Pro with no case or screen protector since the day I've bought it.
I have same one with the Apple case and wallet do it scratch ?
@@Quiiick_ No scratches so far. I tried using cases including the original ones but didn't like the feeling when hold the phone in my hand. Even the original leather case doesn't give me the feel of a premium product, therefore I always go bare.
I have been always wondering - why would you sit on an expensive piece of electronics?
Did you just do a drop test from a meter on grass? That’s impressively courageous of you…..
Thank you. I knew I was playing with fire.
@@mattliller 😂😂😂
Try dropping it on gravel, a few times , for a real world test.
Did he drop it on the grass??? I use my iPhone case less at home cuz I have a decent amount of carpet and softer floors.
I’m not dropping it on concrete for the sake of a video!
@@mattliller ok? But we all know if a phone drops on grass it’s gonna be fine right
I love going caseless but I always put a screen protector always!
I agree a screen protector is a good idea.
I dropped my phone from the top of a bunk bed twice and it landed on its face. No scratches or cracks
that was not a drop test, i understand why you wouldn't want to really break it, but still that was a safe drop from the beginning.
but either way, your content is fire! i really thought you were a big youtuber and apparently not.. which is surprising.
you deserve to be more known!
Thanks for the kind words! The drop test was 100% a joke, I’ll leave the destructive tests to those that can afford it.
@@mattliller hahaha yea i fully understand your point 😝
You’re not gonna crack it by dropping it on grass from that little height lol
Exactly the point…I’m not sacrificing my phone!
Great video dude
Thanks so much!
I only use a screen protector. No more cases for me. Just handle it with care and you’ll be fine.
Well, ditched the screen cover, too. They mess up quickly and become a smeary mess. The display itself is much easier to keep clean.
@@BlueShift24 Exactly the reason why I dont like screen protecters, even tho my screen protectors arent scratched or cracked, I still throw them away, The display looks way cleaner w/o it
Bro i just subbed this video helped a lot
So happy to help!
You lost me at the drop test on grass. bruh
iPhone 13 and 14 series are still the best modern iPhones for me. Maybe the next one will be the iPhone 16. But we have yet to see its durability after tech youtubers receive theirs and make some torture tests haha
Solid vid, thanks!
Dropping on a grass surface is not a drop test. 😂🤣
Exactly! I’ll leave the drop tests to the people that have 10 phones.
Drop test -drop it on the grass.. wow
The problem by going without a case are the sides of the iphone. Those fingerprints and all the dirt looks so annoying and unpleasant
Completely agree that the fingerprints really rack up.
i started going caseless and my biggest fear is let my iphone resting in its back and when i turn it, see the camera lens scratched
Extremely valid fear!
They dont scratch, dont fear👍🏽
nice. thanks for risking it for the biscuit for us bro. subscribed
Greatly appreciated!
I can’t imagine doing this. iPhones are so slippery and I have dry hands! I’m not a clammy hands or sweaty palms person. (I’ve never understood how people have hands that are always wet. 🤢)
Ha! I genuinely wanted to see how the “other half” live.
If only we had apple care in our country 😢😢
I still don’t understand why anyone would put their phone in the same pocket with their keys.
Totally agree!
I enjoyed the drop test 😂😂😂😂
Glad you get the humor!
I am clumsy so I have to have protection at all cost.
A completely valid point.
That's a drop test...seriosly?...on land with grass at that distance is like you drop it in bed.
Maybe because it's your personal phone :))
You are completely correct!
Hello I highly recommend you the arc pluse bumper for iPhone I have it for my iPhone 13 Pro Max
what kind of drop test is this? you are dropping it on grassy surface, it will definitively survive
That’s exactly the point!
Never put a case on my 14 Pro Max, because the phone's already massive, a case would turn it into a damn brick. When I sold it, the buyer couldn't even believe it was never protected by a case, it looked brand new. iPhones have come a long way in terms of durability and scratch resistance.

Love this and you’re right. There’s always Apple care!
Such a great video
I’m up in 4 weeks to get it, no case on this baby
Glad you’re giving it a try!
LOL, the drop test!
I take durability challenges very seriously!
Dropping on grass to test durability. Come on now.
There may have even been a pillow on the ground that the camera didn’t see…
Please remember me when you get famous

Those bulky cases drive me crazy, although they do give you mental security that your expensive phone is safe.
That was NOT a drop test!
Details, details…
😂😂 are you joking?? I completely lost interest when you did a drop test on soft grass
I’ll leave the real drop tests to those with a much bigger budget!
You get more out of IPhone case less . I only use skin cover . First of all treat your IPhone like a baby . U don’t drop a baby.
Good quality
The quality of this video doesn't make any sense. It's impressive.

Ok but you’re fine😍
😂 drop test.. 30 cm from the grassss ouch!
Thank goodness it survived the drop test!!
so screenprotector on and face down the phone. :D
It won’t survive
Get a better mic and you will be top youtuber

mf really dropped it on grass smh
Is drop test a joke ? Dropping on grass?

Debating whether to go caseless for the 14 Pro Max. You sound like you’re from Louisiana!
I can’t speak too much for the max size, but the regular pro size works great caseless. And I’m originally from West Virginia now living in Virginia!
Lol should of dropped it on concrete not on grass. Thats how you know if it works and its good 😂😂.
