I have the 6 and apple care and planned on running naked until I tried the I-blason halo clear case. It's like adding a little rubber bumper and hard back and the gold phone still shines in all it's loveliness. Easy to hold, feels great in the hand, completely minimalist. Similar to the spigen bumper I believe. Anyway, it's as good as naked I think, yet with some protection.
Got a tip for us?

Is anyone crazy enough to run the 6 Plus naked?

Naked 6+ here. Didn't want to add any bulk to the phone by adding a case. Personally I don't find it hard to hold on to.
I have Skinomi® TechSkin on the back..... had one on my iPad Air for almost a year feels great, it's non slip and you can't see that its even on.

I would never use my new iPhone without a case. In fact I've never gone without a case because eventually you will drop it. And when the new phone comes out and it's time to sell the used one, you're going to have a hard time selling it because it's going to have a blemish or a dent or scratch in the metal frame but nobody's going to want to look at. With that being said, Tech 21 makes a fabulous flat black case for the iPhone 6+ that is amazing looking on the phone and feels great in the hand. I highly recommend this case.

I'm using the clear Spigen Airskin Ultra Slim. At 0.4, it basically looks and feels naked. Yesterday I was going to have a screen protector put on at the kiosk at the local mall, but with the new design of the iPhone and it's curved glass, I thought it looked really ugly. The gap between where the protector stops is pretty obvious since there's no real edge to the front. No thanks. I'm not going to stare at that every time I look at the phone.
I had the phone naked for a few days and while it was a little slick, I wouldn't say it was super slippery. I've currently got an Apple silicone case on it, but I take it off from time to time and the phone is still easy to grip.

When trying out the 6 and 6 Plus in the store, I actually found the naked phone stayed in my hand, and resting on my fingertips very well. I think if you have dryer skin, it's going to slip easier. I guess my hands are soft enough that the aluminum sort of sticks to my fingers, sort of like smooth TPU does (but not quite as well as TPU).

I had the Apple leather case on mine for 10 minutes before I took it off. Been naked since then on day one. The only case I will ever use is the DoDo Durables slip case. http://www.dodocase.com/products/durables-wallet-for-iphone-6 and its on its way.
Me too...the leather case from apple is actually very nice I think..although it was 50 feaking bucks.
Do you have kids? I like the feel of the 6+ without a case but having a 1 year old and a 4 year old make a case necessary for me.
Do you let your kids play with the phone? If so, yes a case would probably be a must. But I have a 3-year-old (and a 9-year-old) and don't particularly think that necessitates using a case.
I do let my 4 year old look at pics or videos that we've taken. My biggest concern is the camera lens being exposed to whatever it's laying on.
I'm hoping the use of sapphire glass on the lens will protect it. One of my previous phones (iPhone 3Gs maybe? -- can't recall for sure) had the lens completely ruined by scratches, but that was before they switched to sapphire. Hasn't been a problem otherwise.
Naked is only for people who can also throw away 1k whenever they please in the trash can OR I suppose if you bought apple care, it won't cost so much for a replacement. I bought apple care for my iPhone 6 plus but still got a clear case since I wouldn't want to wait another month for one.
you do know you're a special case. most people drop things they're not picture perfect.
