Are Cellphone Covers A Conspiracy?

I am not sure about you but I am assuming most cellphone owners like me will always be debating if our handsets really need that special protection covers like hard plastic sliders, striped cotton iPod socks, textured skins, scratch-proof films, titanium jackets, branded silicone covers, precision-stitched folios, phone wallets made of fine Italian leather and etc.. Of late, I am just getting a little peeved and worked up trying to decide the most suitable cover for my latest cellphone which is the Apple iphone by the way. Now, as you all know, this is basically a touchscreen phone and I just cannot find any suitable cover that will give it protection from being scratched and not affect the appearance of the phone. Yet, I must say and really wonder why the makers did not consider the materials to use for the phones so that users like us need not fret and worry about getting the phone scratched or cracked up easily. Instead, we have to get these additional protective covers and affect the overall appearance and handling of the phone. I just find these covers an inconvenience than anything else, yet I seem to be helpless and not be able to do without them when I need protection for that shiny polished surface of the sides and back cover. So, why should we be buying these covers when the phone manufacturers should have done a better job with the selection of materials for the phone to be self sufficient? Yet, disappointingly we find ourselves ever looking and deciding on these array of covers, which never seem to be behind all the latest makes and designs. Once each new model comes into the market, you can be assured that these covers will just appear at the same time? I am just beginning to wonder if there's really a conspiracy between these two manufacturers. What do you think?
