minus-squareRogueBanana@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 hours agoIf you hate cases so much, sure. But why create e waste and waste your money when you can avoid that by using a case?
minus-squaresudneo@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 hour agoFWIW, I have the FP3 for now more than 4 years. I have only replaced the battery 6 months ago. A case would have been extra waste (to produce the case itself) in my case, and probably will be trashed after as it might not fit the next phone.
