How's your iPhone 6/6 Plus holding up? Did you go case-less?

[macness]

Hey Guys. I've had my iPhone 6 Plus since around launch day. I've used a case the whole time due to the protruding camera lens and the device's slipperiness. How are you guy's iPhones holding up? Especially those of you 6 Plus owners who are going case-less.

I'm using my 6 without a case and it still looks like new. Not a single scratch. but antenna bands get colored from pants sometimes but I have so far managed to rubb it off.
But I'm considering buying a silicon case because the phone is so damn slippery! It feels like holding a piece of ice..but only dropped it once so far..

I've been using my 6+ with a black leather skin from Slickwraps and it has been perfect so far.

True that. Dropped my 6 twice the first two days I had it back in September while waiting for a Speck Candyshell case to arrive. Luckily no damage or scratches. Everyone I know who got a 6 has commented on how slippery it is because of the curved edges.

I like the Candyshell because it's quite grippy at the edges. The phone is in and out of my pocket 30-40x per day, and since wrapping it I've not had a single drop.

Dropped mine perfectly, it landed on the corner and despite the Sipgen Slim Armor case it didn't come out fine from the 35" drop.

had mine a few days shy of a month..... rocking an apple black leather case... no issues....

knocking on wood

These new iPhones seem to be more durable IMO, No more chamfered edges that get scratched up/scuffed up no matter how good of care you take of it, Have a Ghost Armor screen protector on my 6 Plus with Apple care+ on it, caseless...absolutely love it, love the feel and weight of the Plus caseless it is beautiful

My 6+ is still pristine after two weeks

Can't say the same for the Apple leather case. Starting to look and feel a little gross.

I held the phone without a case earlier and on and just preferred it. Not as easy to grip, but love the feel of aluminium and I actually appreciate the design.

Wondering whether to ditch the case altogether. After all the phone is both insured and covered under Apple Care+. It would be painful watching that screen shatter after a drop though.

it has some dust/dirt in places but it's otherwise in great condition. it's been in a speck candyshell since launch day.

My launch day 6 Plus is doing well actually. No drops or scratches yet. Had it in an Insignia case from Best Buy for about a week when I got my leather case from Apple. The day after getting it I had ZAGG Glass on the front and ZAGG Original installed on the back of the phone too.

Purchased my iPhone 6 on launch and am continuing to use it "naked". My screen has a few very light hair line markings on the screen from removing the phone in/out of my jean pocket....other then that...its perfect.

I use a case because I know that I drop things. I have been using Apple's silicon case. My phone is perfect. But I did have too get the case replaced once because it had a chip in the bottom left corner, but not really a big deal because Apple replaced it no problem.
