Any dads/moms with naked iPhones?

[yadmonkey]

In six years my iPhones were always naked and I never dropped one. In the 5 months since I became a dad, I've dropped this one five times.

Might have something to do with chronic sleep deprivation, not to mention the physical demands and contortions involved with caring for a tiny squirming monkey. Regardless, I think my iPhone 6 plus will be my first to live in a case.

I'd be curious to hear from other parents - anyone with small children actually pulling off a naked iPhone?

Never use a case.

Yea, three under four here. Case all the way.

1-5yr old and a 10-month old.

Key to naked iPhones with kids: never let them near them.

I'm not using a case, my daughter is 9 months. I use a sleeve to carry it around though. Projects it enough for that occasional bump or drop.

Don't drop your baby don't drop your phone.

Being naked just takes conscious effort. And handing down old deactivated phones to kids (8 & 5 here) helps. They don't use mine.

I have a 18 month old and we just have him our old iPod Touch and he uses it constantly so he never even bothers with our phones.

3 boys. Older now, 9, 11, 14. Naked now but definitely used a case when they were younger. (and so was I!)

4 boys: 9, 6, 4 and 9 months.

I have the 6 and this is the first one I have put in a case. Silicone Apple case for the iPhone 6

Irony intentional?

"You're"

The whole being illiterate part sort of ruins your post. It's a bit hard to take you seriously. Come again?

Not naked, but pretty sexy.

For the first time I have a case on my iPhone. 6 Plus is too slippery for me without one. 3 month old too.

Godspeed.

Mine will have one, my 10 month is getting grabby!

Always have case and screen protector. Have two boys 3 years and 7 months. My 4s has teeth marks all over the screen protector from my older boy (got the 4s when he was about 4 months old). I'm sure that my 7 month old will be just like his older brother and put the new phone in his mouth every chance he gets!

6 year old girl and 10 (soon to be 11) year old boy. Neither one of them touches my iPhone. Don't use cases with my phones.

Both were taught to treat devices carefully. When I had an old 3GS they still treated it carefully. That's not to say they didn't drop anything, but it's all training. The word "No" is quite powerful.

However, my daughter has her own iBook G4 and my son has his own PowerBook G4 so playing with my phone (or the old 3GS) really wasn't a big deal.

My son has always grown up around computers and devices. I have a picture of him at 5-6 months in a bouncer with a keyboard in his lap. My daughter only became interested because everyone else in the house had a device or computer.
