I don't like using my 6+ with a case

Agreed. Protecting a $1000 (for some) device that you rely on for 1-2 years is just plain retarded
Apple Care is the only protection I need.
I'd really love to use it naked, but I'm too afraid to ruin it unintentionally.
I'm going to put a very thin rear cover or an original Apple cover on it, as soon as the stores will open again.
That's good but isn't the plan $100? And you only get 2 accidental replacements @ $80 each?
Plan enrollment cost = $100
Replacement 1 total plan cost = $180
Replacement 2 total plan cost = $260
Unlimited replacements for defective units*
So enjoy spending more money and having a scuffed up and dinged phone. Oh yeah, don't drop it more than twice
I have the Vaja Grip case in the perforated red leather with blue inner lining leather.
My 6+ looks regal in the case & I can't stop eyeing it like a#. The case fits snugly, the leather screams quality and utterly flawless. I know there have been a few disgruntled Vaja customers but am more than pleased with my purchase##
Hence for £699, the phone stays in the case; you just have to find a case that will not add extra bulk to the phone.

Even more retarded is Apple building a flimsy one thousand dollar phone.
But hey, they've got to make money one way or another.

Flimsy? Name one smartphone that won't get scratched, dinged, scuffed, bent, or the screen cracked from multiple drops onto Tarmac
I also agree that a case can make it look ugly.
I use this case for my 6 : http://thenoduscollection.com/collections/all
To me it is the best of both worlds, it is still protected (although not fully), but also shows of the curves of the phone, and you can take it out easily. (Which I do daily to put it in my car holder)

same...rocking the 6 Plus space gray caseless with Applecare+ on it and a ghost armor screen protector on it installed by the people at the kiosk w/ the heat box.
Slippery AND thin. Not a good combo and I eventually relented and got a case. I bought the Plus off contract and that is not exactly chump change and I rather not be paranoid using the Plus. I could still drop it but much less of a chance now.
Never used a case until I got the 6 Plus. Fact is it is way too slippery, and I honestly think Apple did that to sell more cases. I hate cases but the official leather one is rather nice.
This for me as well. As much as I like my iPhone 6 plus, I like the feel of it in hand better with a case.
I think the people who start threads about not using a case want their school buddies to see their new phone.
Haven't fully developed their sense of identity, they get it from their phone.
Same as anybody talking about any color other than black or white.
I could care less if some random person knows what phone I use.

Awfully presumptuous, aren't you? Many people like the feel of the phone as intended by the designer. There is nothing wrong with that. Implying that people who do not like to use a case, and then come to a forum about Apple products to talk about it are showing off is just silly. it also says more about you than it does them.
But I'll play. Since we are being presumptuous and all. I think the people who respond to threads about not using a case with comments like yours are just attention whores who haven't fully developed as an adult and seek to be jerks to other people to compensate.

Hate having a case on my 6, but I have no choice as the phone is physically uncomfortable and difficult to hold with it's shape and finish.
Agreed. Impractical shape and finish. Yet it wins design awards. We've seen designer chairs that were recognized by judges, but were woefully inadequate to sit or lay down on for any length of time.

I agree. I use my phone naked like many others. It is a bit slippery which is why I put a BSE full body skin on which adds just the amount of grip but still keeps it thin.
IMO my 6+ is big enough, adding a thick case to my phone takes the one handed usability away, with a really thin (0.3 in case) or just a BSE skin I am still able to enjoy my phone comfortably and not my iPad.

I've used mobile phones since the eighties. I've had every iPhone since they were released. My 6+ is the first one I got a case for. I find it too slippery and combined with the size I'm for the first time ever concerned about slipping it.
I did get a cheap see through case to tie me over which was ahem cheap and nasty. However I got an apple leather back only case and it fits like a glove and looks good and feels just right. Sure it is just a thin sliver of leather but it makes all the difference to me.
