Moose, These cases work for me, robust, have character, protect the phone from 
damage and really age well. I have 2 cases in antique plum and chestnut nubuck 
leather.

Some of us treat our phones differently than others.

Some of us might even want  NOT to have any added stickiness that would make 
sliding the phone in and out of our belt 
cases harder. If the phone had rubbery, sticky edges, that catch just as the 
phone is almost out, it would actually 
increase the likelihood of a drop.

If they did what you want, there's nothing I could do to get rid of it. As it 
is, you can add whatever case you want. 
Carol has a complete coverage, every risk, case; I hate it. When we turned our 
phones in, hers was infinitesimally 
cleaner than mine. Her case goes on, with new phone. Both aced the trade-in 
appearance test.

Some of us don't drop our phones on bare concrete. I think I may have dropped a 
cell phone a couple of times in the last 
25+ years, never far, never on a dangerous surface, never any damage. I don't 
think we should have to suffer for the 
failings of the clumsy. :-)

I do use a simple, sides and back, hard plastic, snap-on case. I don't think 
it's less slippery than the phones 
themselves; certainly not much. It adds a different sort of protection that the 
makers eschew, against front and back 
scratches from the surfaces they are set down on. The back is completely 
protected and the edges of the sides of the 
case stick up a tiny bit (1 mm?) and thus keep the screen from resting on flat 
surfaces.

I've had the same two of them, differentiated only artistically, through iPhone 
5, 5S and SE. You've just reminded me to 
swap them for the first time in ages. :-)
