I've had cases for years. Debating on going naked.

What care are you getting? Are you going naked?

If I do get a case, I want a sleek one.

I always buy AC+ for peace of mind, and once you go naked, you never go back. Apple was trying so hard to trim down the thickness of the phone and people put cases on. I really love the feel of being naked all the time.
We all love it naked. But no matter how careful we are, it will eventually drop from hands once or twice in an year. Even if you keep it in your coin pocket with other items like car keys or coins, it can cause micro scratch to the frame or the glass
 
I might have missed this, but are the back edges more rounded now so its easier to hold? Without a case, the 14 Pro Max after holding for a while starts to dig into the hands and becomes uncomfortable.

I’ve never had a naked phone and I certainly would never do so with AppleCare+.

I normally go with the leather case, but this time I went with the clear case as I’ve read how most of the reviewers don’t like the FineWoven cases and that they aren’t constructed very well.
 
I'm going to be pushing the limits of my pocket size with the Max. There's a good chance I may have to return it and get the base Pro. A case would just make the phone even more ridiculously huge, so no case for me.
 
Naked when I'm at home.

I wished I could afford Apple Care+ and cost of repair.

Using my phones without a case at home, gives me some satisfaction. It feels amazing.

For years, I hate how much I babied them just to turn around and sell it a year later.
 
I’m going naked this year with my 15 pro max. I have AppleCare+ to offset the anxiety! I’ll also have an Alcantara MagSafe wallet on the back to “level” the phone up when laying down flat.

This isn't true. I have gone naked since the iPhone 4 and I have NEVER dropped my iPhone or had a scratched screen. You just have to know how to handle it properly. I dropped a weight on my iPhone 12 once and used AppleCare to get an another one, but I have never dropped one. Since the weight mishap, I did start putting a case on at the gym, though.

I’m guessing none of you have any experience with titanium, because if you did you’d realize that it scuffs and scratches if you breathe on it.

Get ready for Scratchgate.
