I loved the unibody design of the original Lumia series. I dropped mine a few times and dented the corners...then just kinda smashed it into a table until it was normal again. Never really needed a case for it.

I'm not sure how well it would work given the slimmer profiles of phones nowadays..but yeah, ditch the fragile shit please. My phone doesn't sit on display, I want it to be durable
