Same! Got my first loopy case for the seven plus and realized I was ruined for any other case. Every phone I’ve had since has had a loopy case.
Usually I get a new phone per year so I only have the one case. But now that I’ve actually surpassed two years of having my 13 pro max I’m tempted to get a new loopy case just to change up the color scheme a bit.
I’m using the black sparkle now but the white sparkle is tempting me for the winter.
Anything that is extremely important to you should be backed up constantly. Redundancy is your friend. Read up on the 3-2-1 rule.
I read horror stories of stolen laptops/phones and fried hard drives and made sure it could never happen to me.
You should have a digital backup of your photos/videos in the cloud (not just syncing like iCloud, but an actual archive) and a physical backup like your computer that should also be backed up physically (like a NAS) and digitally.
The 3-2-1 rule essentially states that in order to optimally protect data, you must have three copies of the data: the original and two backup copies. These data copies should be on two different types of media (like cloud and physical) with one copy located offsite (in case of fire or theft or electrical surge that fries the data).
The more important the data, the more vigorous you need to be in protecting it.
My kiddo has my old xs max with the original loopy case I had for it.
I change the loop part up sometimes because I like to use the holiday loops. The case stays the same year round. I like the glow in the dark loops best and they are a bit softer I think, so I’ve actually worn a few out over the years but I hold it by the loop all the time.
