    It’s not an entirely unreasonable approach since the part that’s most susceptible to wear and tear is cheap and replacable vs wear on the fragile crystal and metal slab of magic.

      True. This could have been implemented by manufacturers, like Nokia did with the shells for their 33xx-series phones. Instead they seem to be focused on style rather than usability.

      I can’t think of anyone in my social circle who owns and uses a phone sans-case in exactly the way the manufacturer sells it. It’s in a wallet case, or a normal case, or it’s got a clear jelly case, or a case that facilitates mounting in the car, etc etc.

      I am always surprised at the colour of my phone on the rare occasion I take it out of its case, it’s white, and my case - that entirely wraps it - is black.
