I never used a case in my life, owned like 6 phones since my first Galaxy back in 2012. Much rather deal with a few scratches than touching some cheap case instead of the premium metal/glass.

My reason is that I never sell phones anyway, after 2 years I get a new one and give the old one to a cousin or something like that.

Have you held a Pixel 7 Pro? They are _way_ too smooth without a case. It's like trying to hold a wet bar of soap.
I have a leather case for my Pixel 7 [1]. Much better feel in the hand.

I used to say the same thing, then one day I tripped and shattered my phone. It was nothing I did that caused it. Just a small bit of uneven pavement was enough to ruin the whole device.
I have dry hands and can't hold my Galaxy S23+ with glass back at all. It slips out of my hand all the time. No way I can use without a case. It'd break on the first day.
It's not about selling them. It's about protecting it when you drop it etc.
