Just bare. First accident I dropped it on a cast iron guillotine, while on the phone and doing another job! Of course I tried to file out the ding which made me feel a bit better.
Over time I've realised I keep my old phones and they stay in good condition generally. I would probably feel the need to have a case if it was a Pro Max but the other half just got one and it's a monster with the case on, I couldn't fit it in my pockets.
The 12 mini has been great for me, battery is at 88% so I guess it will need something done soonish but it's working fine. I don't make a lot of calls though. It does heat up if you use any high power apps like Waze or when it's charging. It's basically a big heatsink!
