Is anyone crazy enough to run the 6 Plus naked?

Mine will be naked most days when I'm wearing a suit, it will fit in the jacket pocket. But when I'm casual, I'm going to have to belt clip or holster it. I dislike things in the pockets of my slacks.
 
I'd like to, but I'm a little nervous about it. Carried all of my previous iPhones naked. Right now I've got a Spigen bumper on my iPhone 6 and it makes it a bit less prone to slipping in my hand. I'm still on the fence about getting a 6+ and I'm even more worried about that one.

I love the feel of swiping your finger across the screen of a case-less 6 because of the way the screen's edges are rounded (and because of the extra smooth coating on the screen), but I'd prefer that the back was made out of a grippy rubbery material.

Does anyone make a stick-on type of skin that adds grippiness without thickness? I know that Spigen (and others) make ultra-thin hard cases, but those add a lip to the front that I don't want.

My 6 has been naked since I received it on launch day. No scratches or marks anywhere and I work construction daily.

This.

I don't work construction, but I go naked without a worry in the world. I'm not any more careful than I'd be if it were in an Otterbox, and 4 years in, not one issue.

AppleCare+ backs me up just in case, but I get to enjoy the phone as intended. It's awesome.
 
It was naked when I switched cases, I was even nervous of it being on my bed.

Most slippery iPhone yet.
I have a spigen air case now- it is so nice.

I have an Apple leather case too, haven't tried it yet, because I really like the spigen. I got the Apple leather for free, because my phone was delayed (-:

on a side note, I liked the feel of the 4s, so smooth, I kinda miss that design
 
Naked 6 plus - but not on purpose - still waiting for one of the 2 cases I ordered to show up! Any day now...

The more I handle the phone the easier it is to manage.
I can read and scroll with one tiny hand. It still looks perfect but I can't
wait for my case to get here. I'm not careless, more care free and I'm tired of
babying this thing.
 
Both myself and my IPhone will be going through the winter months in the MidAtlantic region of the USA fully clothed. My husband dropped his IPhone 6Plus within the second day of owning it. If not for the wallet case he'd just bought, he'd have a damaged phone.

Try not breaking a iPhone 6+ within minutes of activation if you don't slide on a case.

I'm kidding but man I was swapping my phone between cases right as a call came in. I have had the phone out of a case for a grand total of 5 minutes since I got it.

Just holding it to my ear it shot out of my hand like a bar of soap, coated in banana peels, and canola oil. I luckily was able to do a slow motion dive and catch it before it met a early demise.

I ran my past 3 phones case free and they looked beat up after a year. Small price to pay for the enjoyment I got out of them. This 6+ though... It is a delicate, slippery, snowflake. I am going to buy the most obnoxious lifeproof, otter box case I can find for it. Then I'm going to buy a case to put that case in.

Anyway are their any free spirits out there that are throwing caution to the wind and running their phone case less?

I have to say that this post had me cracking up during my morning Coffee and oatmeal. Yes, there is no way I will have no case on this phone its just to beautiful to mess up, I have a incipio dualpro shine on mine. Seems to do the job, and the case was actually Free!
 
I have thought about going naked a few times but the protruding camera bothers me and the leather case looks very nice.
 
I've never used a case since the first iPhone. I think that covering up the true design of the phone defeats the purpose. That being said, I have a 6 Plus, and it is kind of slippery. It does require a lot of care if you don't use a case. I'm not using one, but I just try to care for it as much as I can. Like I always make sure that I have a good grip of my phone before I take it out of my pocket/bag.

I did receive a free leather case from Apple when the whole pre-order debacle happened. The case is beautiful and it feels great on the phone. Doesn't add much bulk. If I needed to use a case, that would be the one I'd go to. But I'd much rather prefer to use the phone without one.
 
I got an iPhone 6 plus without a case. Couldn't bother about it with Applecare anyway.
 
I'm rocking an Urban Armor Gear (Maverick) case because I sometimes drop stuff. Hey, ***** happens!
 
As bad as I would love to run naked..AppleCare or not, I have the silicone case and im good with that. Giving it some time for these case companies to works the querks they are having with some first batches and them I will decide on something else but for right now, the Apple silicone is good for me.

i find stuff like this so funny. I rock my 6 plus with no case and people think i'm absolutely crazy. But people don't really think about it......

most people just have a random little case on the BACK of the phone only.

IMO the strongest part of the phone is the BACK of the phone. So why are people so surprised when they put a speck case on and when they drop the phone that the screen cracks?

I'll never understand cases that protect the back only and everyone thinks they are safe......

The front is the most fragile part of the phone...so even if i had a case on the back the screen will be toast.

People somehow think that the little slip case on the back of their phone protects their entire phone.

I was actually waiting for lifeproof, but they are taking too long so i may just continue with no case and risk it. YOLO! ;)
 
I don't have a case on it. I prefer the feel of the 6 Plus without any case on it, I am considering on buying some type of flip cover functionality... but that's only on a family vacation of some sort.

But me personally.. I feel having a case on the 6 Plus ruin the experience. The industrial feat that Apple put into the thinness and making such a premium device... while covering it up likens to covering up a work of art.

Cases are a scam. I run my plus naked. My 5 was naked for 2 years. No issues. The SCREEN is not protected by a case. So what's the point? People like sheep have been led to this weird concept of buying something and then BUYING something else to what, keep dings off the side and back? I fail to see the point. Do you buy cases for watches? People have been led to believe cases are necessary and integral to the iphone. They are wrong. People have actually looked at my phone and commented. What, no case? People sometimes buy cases without thinking. They are just following the crowd.
