It pivots at most 1-2mm laterally to the left when i'm tapping hard on the left side of the screen which is barely noticeable. When I tap normally (a bit softer) or swipe it doesn't even move.
I'm no fanboy but i'm amazed that out of all the things you could critique about Apple it would be this one.
Personally, I just won't go there. If it's too expensive not to put a case on, it's too expensive for me to own.
I'm guessing you could get a third party screen repair for less than $230.
I've replaced two iphones in the past month, didn't pay a deductible for either.
If you break your phone more than twice a year, a regular phone case probably isn't going to cut it.

Yes, but not 4 third party screen repairs and definitely not even one replacement phone. I've had two total losses in my 2 year applecare period, once the phone was damaged on both sides by a police baton and once by a falling dumbbell. A normal phone case wouldn't have been enough in either of these situations.
