I would like to use mine without a case. I have insurance through my credit card incase it breaks. Thoughts?
Got a tip for us?

Never use a case or screen protector. Just don't do it.
Always use case + tempered glass screen protector.
don't use a case... Apple spent hundreds of millions on designing
a beautiful phone and you want to cover it up forever?
also don't buy or use insurance, not worth the money or the time....
just buy another iPhone 14 Pro from the nearest Apple Store when
yours break. (hopefully by the time it happens, they'll have plenty
in stock) Life it too short to worry about insurance.

Mine would break in the first week. I never MEAN to drop it, but I drop it alot. It is idiotic to not have a case, There, I said it.
You could find a middle ground similar to what I do:
Caseless to appreciate its beauty at the office, at home inside, out for short trips to store.
Put in a cheap $5 case that is higher than camera and screen to protect it on a freak accident drop when doing any yard work, outdoor projects, hikes, camping, basically any scenario that it absolutely would not survive an accidental drop because I can’t focus much on not dropping it, or I need to place it on surfaces that aren’t clean and level and the phone would get scratched.
And if you have insurance, even better! Don’t need to worry about breaking…
But, I would imagine there’s a deductible.. and even if not, it’s very easy NOT to ever drop the phone if you are consciously thinking about keeping a good hold on it.

This is what I decided to do. I feel nervous using it while I walk and do activities where it could easily drop and get scuffed or break.
While I'm sitting at my desk, in bed, or eating a meal I can use it without a case.
I got the Pitaka one. It costs more than I'd like to spend but the reviews are good and it's lightweight and thin (so they say.) Hopefully it meets the mark.
Using mine caseless, but have a screen protector because I cannot stand scratches. I do have AppleCare+.
That’s the worst Advice ever. Hope no one takes it seriously.
The question is not whether the phone needs a case.
It's whether your personal usage/handling requires a case.

Always go with Apple leather case. Cheap insurance and it feels better in the hand anyway.
I have used a Otterbox Defender and cheap screen protector for years. Primary reason was before I retired I worked in a industrial environment and I have dropped phones in some wild places. Cased for me but your mileage will vary
I do love the Apple leather case for the reasons you said. But given my main gripe is the form factor being larger and heavier than I'm used to, I wanted to pick a case that was thin and light weight. I saw on Youtube some and just ordered one. Hopefully it is in fact as thin and lightweight as they said
I've never been using a case since my X. That's what AppleCare is for and also it feels and looks SO much nicer without a case...
A screen protector and thin case or a skin is what I use. Protects the phone from scuffs and scratches whilst maintaining a low physical profile...though I appreciate not everyone is comfortable using a phone without a case (for fear of dropping their phone).
