Buying a case for your iPhone X gives you peace of mind knowing that you don't have to worry every time your iPhone takes a minor tumble. Not to mention if you ever choose to try and sell your phone at a later date, keeping the iPhone X in mint condition will help its resale value.
I have been using the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my iPhone X for months and love it. It manages to offer fantastic protection while maintaining a relatively slim profile that doesn't mess the iPhone X's ability to wireless charge.
Of course, protection isn't the only thing that a case for your iPhone X can offer you, it can also give you some convenient, practical applications. Cases like the Lonlif Battery Case can help you get more out of your iPhone by providing a built-in external battery that can keep your iPhone up and running even longer, so you can get more done in a day without having to charge your phone.
