Screen side down or Camera side down? (alien.top)

I recently upgraded to an iphone 15 Pro Max, and the camera is comparitively huge to my previous phone. I always used to keep my phone camera side down, but with this one I’m a bit hesitant. I usually just put it screen side down.

What do you guys prefer? Which is safer?

Doesn't matter that much unless you're klutzy or not careful.

Putting it face side down turns off the always-on display. That saves a tiny amount of battery but can run the risk of scratching the display or screen protector.

Putting it face side up causes the always-on display to be, well, on, and this allows you to see any notifications.
