I cant imagine my devices without the cases. As much as possible, I avoid 3rd party cases except spigen (or similar reputed brand). My phone has never spent 5min outside the case since it came out of the box. Fun fact, my spigen phone case got delivered before the actual phone delivery. Bought the lunar silver colour over blue, but in reality never saw that colour properly because of the cover.
Given the lack of any official protection / case for Ear(1), I have installed a transparent protective film over the ear(1) case.
I once got my fitness band main unit laminated just to avoid scratches. I cant live with scratches or dents or cracks.
Key concern i think nowadays is that either companies dont make first party cases or they sell them at exorbitant prices. For reference, Oneplus cases are priced higher than Spigen even when spigen cases provide better protection.
Over a longer term i think there should be some solution of integrating cases with the actual product to reduce extra bulk. I still remember my Moto G (first Google Motorola phone). There was a first party silicon case which required removal of back panel for case installation. The case used to add almost negligible bulk to the phone. Those days of removable battery & back panels.
