They are stupid expensive but worth it.

Until the replacements are on his bob, that pretentious bloke can piss off. There's nothing wrong with iPhone cases.

I generally like to preserve both these aspects of my devices. But if I have to sacrifice one it'd be the looks every time. A broken device is useless and therefore its design is useless. There's only so much you can appreciate about the design of a paperweight.
Plus unless you have money to burn on replacements then if you crack or scratch your phone generally its design and beauty are ruined anyway so you've lost both. Better to sacrifice some measure of style for the security of keeping your investment intact.
My advice is just don't buy ugly cases. Get a nice one, keep your beautiful screen unscratched and fully functional.
* The second thing I did was jailbreak it.

Apple has been hiding indicator lights for a while, but I first noticed this style of hiding an LED behind a metal bezel with micropores on one of the portables as part of the integrated iSight. I think it was the first intel MacBook Pro. #jonathaniveobjectified

And my big problem with PCs in general is the feeling that they just sort of figured out how bit the product would be, surrounded it in plastic, and called it a day. If it even looks like they tried to design a part, then it has touches, and finishes that look like they'd appeal to 7 year old Joel, not 25 year old old. Like that HP laptop that was on here not too long ago, it was obviously "inspired" by the macbook pro, but then they put that weird circular pattern thing on some of the surfaces that just looked ridiculous. I mean don't they realize adults are their main market. I'm not discounting kids that get computers, but c'mon, why does it have to look like something out of a bad sci fi. #jonathaniveobjectified

Digital clocks are probably the worst. I tried to write a book one time about good design and poor design, but I never got beyond my hatred for digital clocks. They've finally started getting a little better in the last 5 years or so.

That reminds me of the Sony digital alarm clock/radio at the "Hotel Del" in San Diego about 3 years ago. I, an engineer, could not figure it out. When I called the front desk for guidance, they said they could not operate them either!

Just stick with my mobile's alarm clock, which, interestingly, is rather well designed...
