Is anyone using their IPhone 11 naked? I have the a Spigen Ultra Hybrid, and coming from X, the phone seems really big with a case on it. I have apple care through T-Mobile with $29 screen repair, I might roll naked. If you are, tempered glass screen or no?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 11 naked

I did for a couple days but I like the grip of having a case so I’m using the leather Apple cases.
Good topic. I don’t see this question asked often.
Sometimes. Unfortunately this phone is slippery compared to the X/XS, my only real complaint. So I use an Apple Leather case about 50% of the time.

I don’t own an iPhone 11, but all I can say is I would never use a $1,000+ phone without an Otter Box case.
I use an ultra thin case on mine for extra grip with minimal protection from scratches. its those 0.02 mm cases that I prefer over the regular bulky cases.
I’m using mine naked and the matte is great. How can anyone think the matte makes it more slippery
I’ve gone one day competently makes with the phone, and I have to say, it is nice. Seems like I am more careful with it. So maybe I’ll keep it this way for a bit.
Hate cases. Still using my 11 part time in the house only as I need to make the decision to keep or not (likely I will). But this will be my first glass back phone and while it’s naked it feels great in the hand but I gotta protect the rear glass. Scratches are the main concern so a skin just for the glass is probably my best option. But sticking a “sticker” on my £700+ device is not appealing. Never felt the need for a screen protector as it changes the feel.
Apple, let me choose to not have wireless charging so I can have a metal back again and keep it naked!

i would like to use my iPhone 11 pro Max MG naked but nervous something out of my control will happen to it, im very careful with my devices, but it might not always be my fault.
how do you like the spigen Ultra hybrid? does it feel like it offers good protection when dropped?
I currently have the spigen tough armor and it’s great for my iPhone X. But I wanna upgrade to iPhone 11 in yellow and
I like it. I got the black one, not the clear one. The black one has a black bumper and clear back. Only thing is fingerprints show a lot on the back, but not that big of a deal. It’s good
cool thanks. yeah that's the one i was planning to get, the black bumper and clear back.
The 11 isn't 1K. I used my 8 and XS naked all the time, never broke either. Otter box cases suck.
I have a 11 Pro Max in MG and I have been using it naked for over 2 months now. So far, no handling issues but I do have AppleCare+ for any unexpected.
I really want to enjoy the phone as it is and not just wrap inside a case...that’s just me.
Btw, I am finding it more slippery than my Xs Max.
I always just put a skin on my phones.
I haven't had a phone damaged or scratched yet and I find cases too bulky.
A skin also makes the phone easier to hold.
Note: Choose glossy for the screen portion of the skin.

I had the Space Crystal colour of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and whilst i loved the look of the case, I just absolutely hated the clear glass back as it was such a fingerprint magnet. Even the shortest of touches (i.e. picking up the phone, for literally 1 minute to reply to a text) resulted in the back just being covered in fingerprints (even after washing my hands!!).
But I guess, using a naked iPhone (I have the iPhone XS Space Grey with the glass back) would do the same exact thing - thats why I am so reluctant to use it naked even though the naked phone looks SO good and even feels super awesome!
