This phone (iPhone 12 PM Gold) is too beautiful to be in a case. I may use a sleeve pouch or a screen protector.
What about you guys ?

Seriously debating it. I used to always go caseless and had no issues for years; but my iPhone XS with a broken glass back is screaming at me “what on earth are you thinking fool?!?!”

I’m rocking it naked. Bought Apple care for peace of mind. Not even a screen protector. Screen has no micro scratches so far. Ceramic coming in clutch.
Please no!! You will eventually drop it on a hard surface and it won’t look new anymore. You know it will happen.
I want to go nekkid really bad. I keep putting back on the Apple Silicon case that I bought. I'm surprised but I really like the way the case feels. Nekkid - a lot harder to grip and hold. I was... however... intending to go nekkid with this phone. I was case free with my 4s and 5.
The Apple Silicon case just fits so nicely, and feels so good to hold. So much so that I'm not ordering a plethora of cases like usual.

I’m going caseless. If I get anywhere near needing to use the 2 incidents of accidental damage that AC+ covers in the first year, I’ll consider a case. Until then, I find the phone alone to be much nicer than one with a case!
What does it matter what it looks like if it’s constantly covered in a case? Seems senseless to “save it” but never truly get to appreciate it.

Take it out and appreciate it once in awhile. I see many totally ganked up phones and I know I couldn’t appreciate looking at that. Plus you will appreciate the resale experience of the mint cased phone down the road.
The only thing ... that had me go back to the Apple silicon case is that - it doesn't add much heft or weight. That and picking it up off the desk is a lot easier with the silicon case.
Agreed though. I couldn't stand the last generation design caseless because it was too slippery. This phone is amazing.
Again, I’m keeping the phone in mint condition for someone else’s benefit? Naaah.
For now I’m case free on the PB Pro here. I didn’t want to cover up this phone with a case so I bought the clear Apple one and decided it’s ugly as hell so returned it.
My plan is to wait for someone to make a “case” that’s really just a flat backing to cover the back glass (no side covering at all) - attaches with strong magnets. Think the iPad Pro folio without the front cover. That would be awesome! I’m sure someone on amazon will make that. If not, maybe I can get creative myself.

Caseless. Cases and screen protectors look and feel awful to me. I put on a case when I run or am at the gym, but it comes off as soon as I’m done.
no case and no screen protector since the iPhone 7. Never had an issue.
always walk around naked. one cracked screen years ago. My 11pro looks mint still and hasnt been babied.
I would like to as well, but the phone doesn't sit flat when laid down because of the camera bump, and that bothers me alot.
I’m going to go caseless at home and use either a thin Spigen or Totallee clear case. I have a Totallee think clear case on my XS Max and it’s so thin, that I’ve had coworkers ask why I don’t have a case on my phone.
10 years of iPhones and I have never dropped one. I am concerned about the 12 Max Pro and its size and bulkiness so I am going to go caseless. I took my 11 Pro Max out of its leather case at the weekend and have been using it naked. Its like a new phone. Apart from appreciating how good it looks, its so much easier to use than when its in a case. It feels slimmer and smaller but still with the same screen size. I have a bumper arriving for the 12 Pro Max but what i might do is get a sleeve for carrying the 12 Max Pro around only and go caseless when around the home or out and about in bars and restaurants. I think that when you go caseless, you are more aware about handling the phone carefully
Always! I do have a case on order as I'm more bothered at the start about keeping it pristine but then when I take the case off, I wonder why I even bothered with a case!
