Case? Do you really need one?

[mastsethi]

iPhone looks stunning anyhow. Do you really enjoy keeping your phone in a case?

Lately, when i'm at work or at home, I typically keep it naked but when i'm traveling around and I know i'm out/about taking my phone in and out of my pocket, i'll throw on the Magpul field case. I am not gonna lie, I love using the phone naked.

I have used the BookBook in the past
But I much prefer naked

Honestly I've been off and on rocking cases on my iPhone. I just picked up a white 4s, literally, about 30 minutes ago and I'm debating about putting a case on it. The guy in Radio Shack was doing his best to sell me on a case.

SGP linear ex white looks amazing on a white 4S (I also have a white 4S with that bumper).

Naked.. Lol!

I got a brushed aluminum skin from The Lucky Labs. It's a very thin adhesive and makes the phone look awesome. Feels caseless but a bit more grippy

I use a stunning case to enhance the look of my phone while protecting it. Vapor pro (the fakes are just as good )

If you have the disposable income to put towards a new iPhone in case the phone does drop and shatter, I would say to rock it without a case. However, if you do not have the money to get it repaired in case of an accident, get a case to protect it.

The iPhone looks much better without a case.

Sena case in red is all I use and my phone is still like new, touch wood.

After my iphone sustained a small but noticeable nick to the side when I placed it in my waistpouch while jogging, yes, a screen protector and case is definitely warranted.

I used to think that a case wasn't needed... Till I took an arrow to the knee and dropped my phone.

Personal preference. Do whatever works for you.

Need it? In term of Wireless performance, you need to prevent to "death grip" situation. Case is one way to avoid this issue.

In term of protection, I have to agree with you on that. I used my old iPhone Classic without case on, just Sena Ultra slim pouch. iPhone look nice by itself.

However, due to my personal requirement, I used my White iPhone 4 with Element Vapor Pro White Edition along with Lucky Lab Spectra Wrap along Antenna band. It look nice!

I typically keep my phone in a belt holster (yeah, super nerdy) but have a front screen protector and incipio feather case. This combo offers sufficient protection for my level of carefulness while maintaining the sleekness.

 

[mastsethi]

Casing also causes phone to overheat, thereby degrading the battery life.

I think the best is just a back/front screen protector and a bumper.

I prefer bare, though when I'm on-call I use a holster case since the iPhone LOVES to fall out of my scrubs pocket.

I'm always torn with this question. I switch back and forth a lot. . . Probably to a point where it's unhealthy.

I have too many cases and most of the time I just prefer to go ceaseless. lol

I'm a klutz unfortunately, so a case was necessary. I have the OtterBox Defender. Sure, it covers up the phone and one can't see it, but for me function and durability are more important than looks anyway.

My own opinion might be a little biased, but I def think so. No matter who you are or what you do with your phone, you're bound to drop it at some point, with it sliding across the tiled floor or pavement, without a case that going to be dinged and scratched for as long as you use it. At least with a case on, its some what protected. I'm not saying everyone should go get an otterbox, but a case does help.

And sometimes its just a tee shirt you know, everyone's using the same black or white iPhone, they all look the same, don't you want something that looks more "you"?

iphone is so popular all over the world, I want to own one for long time, but it is so expensive!

Haha, a little OT.. But get an iPhone 4 instead of the 4S, most markets they're like 25% cheaper and honestly, they're 95% the same in actual use.

I just dropped mine today on the concrete floor at Starbucks. Not a scratch, thank God (yeah I'm feeling pretty lucky right now)! I do have a leather back and a screen protector, fortunately I think it landed on the leather - which may have provided a smidgen of drop protection. Definitely makes me consider putting the case back on though!

Power Support Air Jacket (clear) + Lucky Labs Spectra Wrap + Front Screen Protector (crystal) + Ringz Dock cap/plug (clear white) = best of BOTH worlds (all around protection with "naked" look and feel)!!!
