When I got my 6 the day it was available I immediately put it into an Otterbox Commuter -- the slimmer case. Came with a screen protector that looked ugly so after a week or so I felt comfortable removing that, but I kept the case on.
So this weekend, I get the urge to really FEEL my phone and use it without the bulk of the case. The thing is so skinny I kept losing it; in the cushions of the couch, coat pockets, even a pair of jeans. It went between the seat of the car and the compartment box and I had to get it out with a stick.
I also dropped it. TWICE. Once was on a linoleum floor, so no worries there really but the second time it went face down from about 3.5 ft onto a gravel driveway and skidded a few inches. I was expecting it to be scratched all to hell and maybe even cracked but I got lucky.
Needless to say, it's back in the case. At least I can find it that way and it doesn't mysteriously slip into places where I can't reach.
I know some people have had much worse luck with dropping and cracking and so on. I just got lucky. Lesson learned. But you have to admit, part of my luck has at least something to do with sturdiness.
