I'm having a hard time deciding what kind of case/cover and style to get for my phone. I'm wondering what other people do. This is the first time I've had a smartphone. For my previous phones I never bought a decorative cover for them because I didn't use them often. I dont' want just a blah black or even a solid color. I want a design of some kind but I can't choose. I wondering, do people change their phone covers often? Like you have one for awhile then get tired of it or see a different one you like better and get that? I kind of just want to get one and have that for the life of my phone but want to make the right choice.

UPDATE: Wow, I'm surprised. With all the different cases and covers on the market I assumed more people were changing theirs often. Or maybe it's kids that do that. It just seems like there are a ton of designs out there, lots of decorative ones, and bling and stuff.

Never. Cases are for clumsy people.

That has as much sense to me as "I don't have a car insurance, I never let my car crash" O_o

... but you can insure mobile phones! ... so perhaps it's more like ... "I don't glue extra bumpers to my car, because it's already insured and, well, I like it to fit into parking lots" :)

(No I don't have insurance for my mobile. That's silly. And I still don't like cases.)

Edit: But I just learned there is this. I can't even.

IMO that extra bumpers is a great idea :D (well, depends on their price). Usefulness over aesthetic.

yeah ... no. Those things won't get anywhere near my car. But I can see why you would want them in regions were people practice bang-bang parking (is that really what "parking by ear" is called in english?)

... and happy cake day!

When it breaks down, right now my soft red case is still perfectly fine, not bad for 3€

I haven't bothered to case my phones in years actually. Then again I also don't use smartphones. ;)
As for what people I know do, once people finish with school they tend to get a single case and stick with it until something breaks. (be it the phone or the case)

Yeah, I change cases as often as I change phones, so once every few years.

Honestly I just get a case for 2 reasons:

  • Avoid damage in case of clumsyness (of me or people around me)
  • In case I don't think the phone's backside is something I wanna look at for very long :p

So I never change the case unless the phone or case break.
There's better stuff to spend money on.

If you want to get a phone case but an ordinary one, try to do some DIY (if possible) ;)

With my phones, I keep my case for the entire lifespan unless it breaks or rips (which hasn't happened to me). I recommend hybrid series cases like the Case-Mate Tough. It kept my previous phone, the Xperia Z, saved the phone from some falls and gave it a better grip while not adding too much bulk. If a design is what you want you can get it customized, but that is expensive. What phone do you have now? Maybe I can help you find something good

So far I only have one, and I don't plan do get another. I only bought for protection, with no pictures or decoration. I like it to keep neutral.

This is also my first smartoy, so I can't really recommend anything about it :P

I don't change covers. Latest phone doesn't have one, previous two did (protective back cover), but I've recently been changing phone more often than once a year anyway.

My wife changes the covers, the reason being that the ones with the pictures usually fade after a while.

There's no 'I don't own a mobile phone option' I think I'm the only person I know who doesn't have a phone. :) Even my grandparents have mobiles he-he
I carry around my tablet for gaming but I have no data plan.

The Original Not the smartest one, but I can text with it, call someone, set a reminder, write notes and check time/date. Though google+gmail would be nice. But at least I can cause concussion with it if the need arises :D
