I don't know too many people that carry their phone around as born.
I used to until I became adept at dropping them. My pixel 4 has a low dimension case so not too bad. Irony is I have a spare I don't need while this case works...

As a side issue (for apple users mainly), I am late to the party on AirPods but what a well designed product!
I would say that functionally they are one of the best new things apple has produced in ages. They hark back to the old claims of 'it just works'.
Audiophile arguments aside they are stable, connect instantly, are super easy to set up (10 secs out of the box). The microphone design is top notch.
I only got some to help with the amount of skype/teams calls I have to do now and they are now indispensable.
My only dislike is that they still look like you have cotton buds sticking out of your ears but thats a design trade off for the mic design/quality I guess (I have tried some of those totally in ear ones and you have to talk louder, especially when outside) -

That's good enough flashing lights and shiny things to make me want to buy it!
Purely on aesthetics, the move back to flat sides is an improvement
I like the rounded edges, Aesthetically, but no matter as I always have in a case.
And to look like a right prick, I get a custom Sena case with my initials embroided in.

Much prefer the old cable jobs and less chance for me to lose them.

I will admit that the shape of them doesn't suit everyone's ears snugly. I have never felt like they were going to fall out.
Other than that, given that you drop them back in the charging case after using surely you would only lose them by being slack? -
