To those that went naked, did you baby your phone or treat it like the tool it is?

I tend to baby each phone that I own, and the SE is no exception. My 6s has been dropped a couple times, but so far (knock on wood), I have not dropped my SE.
 
It's a solid device as phones go but if you drop it from a height on a hard surface without a case it will get damaged.
 
i find bumpers to be the best compromise between naked and protection. basically naked, but with better grip and a suprising amount of drop protection - if it falls on a edge, no problem, if it falls flat, there is a lip on both sides so again no problem. Have used them with the 4s, 5s, and 6s, have dropped them all numerous times, never an issue.
 
To me, a good case provides protection and grip, which in turn provides more protection.
 
I use apple leather case after tried couple of Spigen products. Some is too bulky and some are a bit sharp along the edges so I ended up spend big and get the leather case. It feel good in the hand.
