It’s Easier to Use Your iPhone Without a Case
Some rugged cases are so big that it makes it difficult to use the external controls on your iPhone. For instance, getting at the switch or the volume buttons can feel nearly impossible with a really thick iPhone case.
Not only that, but you may not be able to reliably use the iPhone’s Back Tap feature, which lets you tap the back of your iPhone twice or three times and trigger an action automatically.
If you’re struggling with using any of these controls, it might be time to say goodbye to your case.
