People like having their iPhone's naked because it looks better without a case. Minimalistic cases without lay on table design is the next best thing if you want a little added protection... but still have the look and feel of a naked phone. That's why I went with a black power support air jacket. Lay on table feature isn't necessary, and I don't care if my iPhone is face down since it has screen protector on it anyway. I did LOL in meeting argument. Most meetings I attend... people alway take a quick glance and their notifications whether their phone is facing up or down. However, if you want to protect your information from being seen by others in meetings, there is a feature in Notification called, "View in Lock Screen" that you can turn "off" during meetings. It will vibrate, but nothing displays on the lock screen. There have been a few times I used this feature... depending on who are attending the meeting.
