I use mine naked. Only have a screen protector on it. No AppleCare.
I use it naked when not working. I’m a home inspector and I am carrying my phone on roofs and under houses to take photos and use my inspection reporting app. I have a simple clear case I use. As soon as I’m done, the case comes off. Going out, whatever, no case for me. I do have AppleCare.
No case. No screen protector. I do have Apple care. But I never use it. I bought the clear case that I’ll use if I go on a hike or something. But in normal use it will be naked.
I’ve never used a case or screen protector for any of my iPhones, dating back to the original. Never had a problem other than minor screen scratches in the last few years (screens have been getting softer as they are being made to be more shatter-resistant).
I have noticed the micro scratches in recent models as well. I keep thinking, maybe I’ll start using a screen protector but while you can see them at angles when lit, it hasn’t been noticeable in normal use.
I would like to but I have 2.5 year old twins and a 6 month old. They are a recipe for disaster so I instantly slap on a screen protector and Otterbox Defender.
I carry mine without a case unless I’m at the gym, running/cycling, working in the yard, etc. For normal daily use at work and home, I carry it naked, and I’ve never used a screen protector.
Gosh you are wilder than me. I love the look of the device as well it’s gorgeous but if you happen to shatter the back of the device it’s considered a total loss at Apple.
Me I would get AppleCare+ I am waiting for my bumper to arrive hopefully today and then my TPU case comes off.
Some brave people here, cannot imagine using these slippery glass sandwich phones, without protection.
I used my phones naked until I handled a friend's phone that had the Apple leather case. I've preferred that over a naked phone since.
I usually wear clothes when Im on my phone, rarely am I...oh yeah im using a case, coming off as soon as I get applecare+
I picked up an 11 Pro today. I went naked on my X for the first time because the glass back was more grippy than the aluminum and it was the first time I actually felt comfortable using an iPhone without a case. However, the back of the Pro feels much more slick than the plain glass on the X.
So, anyone who has had a week with their naked 11 Pro, how has it been? Do you feel like you’ve been more prone to drop it than your X or XS?

Naked w/ applecare. It’s not an iPhone with a case on it lol.
Give it some time. The oil from your hands will eventually wear it a little bit and it’ll become grippy. They put some kind of protective layer on the leather that just needs to wear off a bit.
