Odder Box is the best

Never heard of them.

I don't use cases anyway nor screen protectors, sp are just ridiculous and complete waste of money.
I find the new Apple leather case more slippery than the phone itself.
The silver model anyway is a much more matte finish and not a slick as the 6 was. Don't know of the other colors maybe they are more slippery due to the anodizing.

Have you been using your phone naked? How is it holding up if so?
 
I sometimes use my phone naked, no difference other than when I'm naked I don't have a pocket to put my phone into.
 
Have been using it naked since the beginning. At times its too slippery and happens to fall out of my track pants or loose pants. Plus with the weather outside and your hands being cold it's just slips. In fact happened to me just a few hours ago, glad it didn't end up in snow or slush.
 
DBrand skin only. I find the 6S+ size perfect but adding a case in addition is too much. If the 7 shaves the bezels a bit, I'll revisit cases in the future.
 
I've heard of the Spigen thin fit case, adds absolutely minimal bulk to the phone, close to nothing and apparently looks good with it. Has anyone used it? For bumber scratches and nibbles i believe it'll be a good investment. Has anyone used it before?

i have one, and it is great. And i also have ultimate shield tempered glass on the screen. but the protection is another case... not sure how much the case provides the protection...

but right now im using apple leather case which i got as a gift... and the leather case is not as slippery as spigen case (which is not as slippery as the phone itself though)
 
When I'm at home I leave it naked, but when I leave I throw on a case. My last phone (HTC M8), I dropped it many times. This one is different for some reason, it's like I baby it more. Lol.
 
I went fully naked a few months ago with my 6+.

No regrets. Now, every time I look at it I fall in love with it all over again. It's such a beautiful thing. Any case destroys that, even the Apple midnight blue leather case I used to use.
 
This phone is a beauty when it's fully naked.. Can't keep my eyes of it every time I see it..
 
I absolutely love the feel and the way it looks naked. I'm pretty careful with my device, but have dropped it one or two times from waste high length and it
Bumped into different things over a time as it slipped but other than that i love it
[doublepost=1454328306][/doublepost]Although my biggest concern as of right now is it has become a bit too slippery with the cold weather. My hands are normally cold or with glove etc it just slips. It's hard to take your phone out of your pocket in the cold outside
[doublepost=1454328393][/doublepost]The leather case is slippery too I feel. I think the silicon is better in terms of
Grip but hard to get it in and out of the pocket and I don't like the way it feels. Owning both, the silicon and leather case, I prefer it naked. It slips either way

Thanks. Which one do you think is thinner, or adds the least amount of bulk. The leather or the Spigen
 
Well, if anyone is interested, here is my current 6s+. No idea how it ended up that way. Might have been a little rough with it. Ironically, it was a spigen case that gave it scratches in the first place and made me swear off them. Think peeling away the DBrand skin might have something to do with worsening the scratches, but I am really past caring or babying it. It still works great barring that cosmetic damage.

But yeah, if you need more justification to get a case for your iPhone, here it is. Though for that matter, I intend to just continue using my iPhone naked as is.

Call me crazy.

I used PowerSupport Air Jacket. Very thin, without screen protector. I have been using this on my 4s, 6 and 6s. Lucky me, no issues or dent / scratch so far, even though have been dropped accidentally few times.

I will stick to using a slim case for the grip so I do not need to lie about the condition on my device, like new!:p

The damage on the edges looks like what some have had with bad anodizing. You might just take it into Apple Store and see. They might exchange it.

I agree with HEK

I have put my 6s through quite a bit of turmoil, including drops on tiled kitchen floors and falling off tables and there are no scratches on the aluminum. No dents. It seems quite indestructible. This 7000 series is sturdy and the deeper anodization helps from my own experience!

Its very tough, and not as easy to crack, chip or damage as the 6 it would seem.

You should consider getting that looked at, as the anodization may simply be shoddy in your model!

I checked with a friend, who thinks it might be salt corrosion from sweat and all. Regardless, as there is no Apple Store in my country, I have made an appointment with an authorised repair service this week and will see what they say.
