How is your naked iphone 5 holding up?

Cracked my screen today. It slipped out of my pocket while I was getting in the car. I was gonna exchange for a 32gig before my 30 days was up but I guess I'm out of luck now. Gonna be a long 2 years.
I couldn't keep it like that. I'd take it into apple and maybe you will get some sympathy. And even if not, I'd have to pay the replacement fee. Cracks, no matter how small make my OCD go into overdrive.

Lol..Sorry about that!
But really..."I dropped my phone on my carpet, and it hit a rock"

Hopefully you're not one of these call centers ringing me everyday at 8AM before going to work.
hehe.....no. don't work in one of the call centres
Still perfect, in my pocket all the time if not in use. Am very careful though, as in am not doing multiple activities at the same (aka not multi-tasking) when am holding it. I've dropped all my other iPhones several times but none of them broke and they all still work. So hopefully, no scratch and no drop for this in the next 6 months at least, lol. *Hoping for never on the drop, scratch is inevitable with naked, can live with that*
Got an xtremeguard I picked up for like $1 on the back now. I love the look and feel. Still no scuffs or scratches on edges
My black iphone is holding up just fine naked. No scuffs or scratches. I on the other hand am not holding up as well with the phone naked. I like to have it covered and safe and have been very nervous while its caseless.
Thank you for the picture, and if this the fate of the iPhone 5 back plate then the raw aluminum looks a lot better than the black one. This simply looks like slightly brushed silver vs the silver that will show through on the black.
My iPhone has been naked since arrival and I have had better luck than when I let mt iPod touch go naked and it shattered all over concrete
Had the black iPhone 5 for a week now, naked. It's still pristine. I'm fairly careful, keeping it alone in a pocket, or in an iPod sock if it's in my purse, but I still use it one-handed while walking my dog and so on. No problems.
Rear protector
Anyone thinking at least get a rear screen protector for the aluminium back of their iPhone 5?
But i hate losing the feel of the aluminium back of it.

I was walking my dog yesterday evening on an unfamiliar street, and I stopped to look at the Maps app to see if the cross street would take me back to my vehicle. Suddenly, the automatic sprinkler system of a resident's home turned on and a powerful spray blasted me in the side of the head. I have no idea how my iPhone didn't get wet, but it didn't. I'm so glad that I wasn't startled into dropping the phone.
iPhone 5 is still naked and looks great, but I ordered Applecare+ when I got home.

I actually had one on the back and sides, but I hated the way the sides looked (shiny patches), so I piled them off. Then I pulled the two on the back covering the glass at the top and bottom figuring the glass wouldn't scratch. Then I finally ended up pulling the back off the aluminum. I just hated the shiny look. I'm just going to be careful.
If u put it on any surface and u slide it or it vibrates.... then u might be getting some scuff marks on the aluminum. Not worth it.
Huh?
I was in an accident yesterday in my new car. I smashed into another car who had the nerve to make a full stop at a "Stop" sign. I'm calling the dealer and giving him HELL for selling me a freakin' car that get's damaged smashing into another car. And I will DEMAND they replace it with a shiny red one instead of that crappy black one I bought.

Mine is perfect. Ideal setup to go naked.
Back and side Ghost Armor. No case. Applecare+.
I've been all over with my phone including a trip to Vegas. If I didn't scratch that thing in Vegas I'd say it's doing a good job.
Highly recommend this "naked" setup. Perfectly applied Ghost Armor looks fantastic and keeps scratches off to help resale value.
