Naked iPhone 5s?

yeah..I said screw it. going all in. just setting it down on whatever, and not taking extra extra care either. If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it all the way.
Smart man, i like you. But yea, not everybody care about this.
I prefer to put a case, not to worry anymore and still getting good resale value. Rather than cleaning the phone every day and use it cautiously.
Using a 5s with no cover or screen protector either.
Initially had a case with my earlier 4s, but removed it after a while. I just preferred the feeling of a naked iPhone in my hand (something about metal, glass and body heat from hands, I suppose), plus the screen protectors I had just degraded the screen more.
I find the iPhone is so thin and light that any additional case just makes it intolerably that much thicker and heavier. Is this a disaster waiting to happen? Maybe, but we will cross the bridge when we get there.

Okay, day 2 update:
it's over. I liked the naked feel, but it's just too thin and sharp to hold comfortably. I threw my zoogue case back on there and it's night and day. So much easier to hold and pick up.
It's still plenty thin!

If you get it replaced over the phone they will mail you a new/refurb. You can use AppleCare anytime you want, as long as you pay the $80. I was told by the AppleCare rep. that you can get it replaced if you have too many scratches or whatever cosmetic damage there is that bothers you too much. It doesn't have to be broken. They mail you a new one and you mail yours back to them after you receive the new one. Very simple.
Is this the one? Is it easy to install?

One wreck and the car is done. Drop a car, it too would not survive well. Not so dumb.
Always used my my several iPhones naked. It's less about the aesthetics for me, more the fact that imo it just plain works better with direct access to the controls as the designers intended. That it maintains it's tiny, thin, light form factor and looks pretty (in a tech sense) is just a bonus.
I used my 5 naked and now I do the same with my 5S. I just love the way it feels with no case and it feels so much lighter. I like how cool it is to the touch in the mornings. That being said, I usually throw a slim case on it when I know I will be out somewhere I could potentially act stupid and drop it.
How' are they holding out? Any scratches to the screen, even feint ones? Don't know know I've ended up with a scratch even if it is tiny, my phone goes from my pocket to my hand and that's it ?
Not that I don't believe you, but....... I don't believe you. Not even the most careful person could go long without picking up some scratches. I don't see why this is such an issue though these days with super thin cases like the Caudabe Veil. It's pretty much like going naked, but at least you don't have to worry about scratches or chips.
Not a scratch here, naked since I got my 5s in september. Veil isn't naked, you think it is but naked is naked, veil looks like crap and is not naked.
I have no scratches on my naked iP5S
I can't even see any scratches ordains on chamfered edges.
The Caudabe Veil is probably one of the most useless cases on the market.
It offers no sort of drop protection and for scratching issues it probably causes
more scratches than protects against.
Mmmmm, agree to disagree I guess. I know at least for me it's totally protected against what would've certainly been scratches ( or worse, chips on the edges) when banging around in my pocket or in my suitcase/backpack. Not sure where you get the idea that it causes scratches either. Aluminum and glass are both harder than soft plastic. For what the case does, it does it remarkably well. Any thicker and you lose the feel of the naked iPhone.
