What kind of person doesn't use a phone case? Naked phones are slippery

Also fixing their broken back glass could have been as simple as just putting a case on it covering the glass. Not even worth the deductible

I don't use cases.
When I worked a more active job, I used them religiously. I thoroughly tested OtterBox's warranty.
Now that I work a desk job, I'm much less worried about breaking my phones. I put a skin on them for the aesthetics and improved grip. Over 4 years case-free on 4 phones, zero issues.
Does your current phone have a glass back? I would think that would be extra slippery
Yeah, but with a skin on it doesn't really matter. Even without the skin, it wasn't that bad. But the skin definitely improves the grip.
Never had a case for my phone. And in 13 years of owning a smart phone, I only had a single broken screen this summer. And in that case, a phone case wouldn't have helped protect it.
It's really not hard to not drop it is you're careful.
And I have small hands, which doesn't help
I've been dropping my phone nearly every day since Nextel. Something is wrong with me.
