I’ve ordered one of the otterbox figura case from the Apple Store app.
The phone is quite nice case less but one slightly annoying thing I find is that when using it on a table it just doesn’t sit flat due to the camera so you get wobble which having a case that will no longer be an issue.

I like going caseless but the phone is slippery to hold and the sides aren't very comfortable due to the sharp edges.
I was going to go caseless (with screen protector) but I'm finding it's actually more comfortable with the Apple leather case, so instead of planning to just use that when going out, I'm using it all the time now.
I keep going back and forth between using a thin clear case and using clear film on the sides and back. Going to definitely use a glass screen protector.
Considering going with SopiGuard or XtremeSkins for the clear film and maybe something like totalleecase clear case.

What brand did you go with, if I do decide to pickup a case I’d go clear but want something very thin.
If you want to go naked, at least apply a thin skin/film in clear (unless you don't mind tiny scratches).
The Apple leather MagSafe case is perfect for me. It hugs the iPhone 12 pro Max and fits tightly. No bulk so I don’t miss out on the close to naked feel of it with added grip
These phones handle like a wet bar of soap and are made of glass, it only takes one drop to ruin it. I’d never go naked
I have found the mini to be firm to hold. It doesn’t feel slick or hurt the hands. Is it possible a lot of people are using a phone much larger than their hand(s) and thus feel uncomfortable holding it for any real length of time?
Not personally, but I tend to check amazon and ebay for these things since they are usually vinyl decals. I saw a vid from marques Brownlee and I think he showed his Max Pro with just a skin around the side frame, but I didn't watch the whole vid or check the youtube for any promotion links.
I WISH I had one on my Jet Black 7 Plus. It suffered from surface blemished from being in a case (stuff manages to find its way in), but thankfully, BuyBackWorld.com did not penalize me for it. That was a beautiful finish, but there was no way to repair it.
With a phone this large and a price tag to match, I want a case. Not only for the protection but also for the ability to hold onto it better. Currently using a clear Otterbox Symmetry case. I like the rubbery feel to the edges. Not so much the back as it is a smudge magnet. Have a couple of others coming to see which wins out for daily use. I do like to rotate though so nice to have options. I will be adding an Apple leather at some point.
My favorite type of case was back in the 4s days. The bumper only cases were the best. Gave the phone protection but also allowed you to feel the beauty of the phone. I believe Rhino Shield makes them. If I were ever to consider going naked, I'd at least go that route again. That or at the very least I'd put it in some sort of sleeve when not actually using it. Joli makes wonderful leather & felt lined sleeves.

No case unless I’m at the gym or running. No screen protector, either. I hate the look and feel of cases. I love the look and feel of the naked iphone.
