I agree although it is not always a reasonable for some one to leave their phone "naked". Because of some people's jobs or lifestyle, they need protection for their phone.Covering up this work of art with a case is a crime.
Got a tip for us?

IPhone 5 Case Recommendations?

Has anybody been able to find any Anti-Glare screen protectors yet? Been looking around but havn't been able to find any.
This was a good read. Personally, I need a case for my iPhone for peace of mind, but I can see the appeal of keeping it naked.
No matter how strong the gorilla glass is, we will inevitably see a post soon after launch about a shattered screen.
I usually get a case that is easy to take on and off and I switch it up...if I am at home I usually take it off or if I know it is only going in my pocket I will go caseless but other then that I use a case.
I'd love to go naked. I think the black IP5 looks badass. I am always real careful with my phones but, in the back of my mind is that "what if" scenario. I'd hate this to be my first naked iPhone then have that oops moment happen.
I did find this case that looks cool though....

Has anyone had any experience with both Minisuit and Spigen screen protectors??
The Minisuit gives you more for the money but are they worth it?

I've often gone case-less with all my iPhones to date, and never use screen-protectors. There are usually still "near-mint" when I sell them.
However, I did get a goofy hipstamatic case for the 4S a while back (I'm into photography and liked how it looked like a camera). I LOVED the "camera-like" strap on it. It was awesome for fishing the phone out of my pocket, which is where I keep it 90% o the time.
So I'll wait until I can find a case with a string/chord. LOL

I have had an otterbox defender for my 3gs for 3 years. The phone looks like it was just taken out of the box brand new. Gonna go with another otterbox defender for the 5.
I prefer to use it naked as well--hate to add bulk to the sleek/slim form factor. I have been carrying my last few iPhones in a thin leather sleeve to protect while in my pocket and may pick up a Sena case once they're available.
That being said I did order one of the free Zoogue cases in black and think I may also try an Incipio Feather Shine in the obsidian Black as it seems to be very thin and lightweight.
Ahhgg!! So many choices I'm going to end up spending a bunch more just on cases at the rate I'm going!

Here's one that was suggested somewhere else in the forums. It's called the Photive Hybrid iPhone 5 Bumper Case

People know on here i get tons of cases, post pics for u guys n gals, every launched phone...this year though I think I'm gonna spend the money on applecare and go with no case (well not sure this will last because of my case addiction)
the design looks too nice to cover up, I mean black and slate? how nice

I might go for Spigen Crumena leather pouch and that's it.
Are they any good? Any other suggestions?

There is a nice black bumper i ordered on amazon for $10. just do a search for iPhone 5 cases and it should come up.
So we all have accessories to replace.
I'm looking for:
A stand for the 5 to replace my Just-Mobile Alloy.
A dock (Apple Genuine)
A leather case to replace my Stilgut
All will probably take a while, so what's cheap, cheerful and safe as an interim solution?

That does look pretty cool however, in the past I've had issues with dirt getting between the transparent plastic and the phone (making it look pretty gross).
I currently use a bumper on my iPhone and sometimes even take that off.
Which makes me wonder, anyone know if Apple will be offering a bumper for the iPhone 5?
EDIT: I just read the answer. Thanks!
