Cases are like undercoating for cars. You don't need one and it's just a waste of money. iPhones are so freak for nice, how can anyone cover one with a case is beyond me.
 
As sexy as a naked iPhone is, it's a little skinny for my fat hands. I really like the otterbox commuter.

My commuter is really perfect for me. I like it a lot. It has a nice grip, and it protects my phone very well. I don't understand how people can just go naked.
 
Sorry, moved the hyphen in my mind (per xkcd) to Naked iPhone-Owners. I thought, how the heck is this poster accessing my iPhone camera?
 
I use the peel case which is the thinnest case on the planet... so they say, it is amazingly thin

not that I don't like the look of a naked one, nothing can match it, its just that I do resell iPhones..

I have a peel case too, it's the only case I use. or i go naked :)

one time the peel case failed me, my phone slipped out of my hand when I was in bed and the top edge (near power button) has a small chip in it :-(

other than that it has been pretty good
 
About to give this naked thing a try...I mainly like it because it allows me to take advantage of my docking stations at home and at work.

As others have mentioned, I find the Caudabe Veil hands down the best case for people who don't like cases. I can set down my phone without worrying about scuffs and that's really the biggest thing for me. That and not worrying about scratches the few times I inadvertently put the phone in the same pocket as coins or keys.

If I don't have the Veil, I just go naked. No compromise otherwise. The iphone is too stunning to cover up.
 
I don't fantasize over Apple products like they're human.

My phone without a case is just that. A phone that's not covered by a case. Is designed to be used plain. Otherwise ergonomics would never be considered.
 
I prefer the Spiegen Hybrid case. It allows you to see the back of the phone and has a bumper with a plastic see through back so I can see the phone and a screen protector in front. Looks like I don't have a case on my baby. :,)
 
Well, I got the Caudabe Veil and although it's overpriced (had similar off eBay for a fraction of the price) I do like it. Only problem (for me) is that it doesn't fit in my Brodit car holder. It's the exact size of the naked iPhone. You'd never guess the Caudabe Veil would add enough body for it not to fit?!
 
I've used a naked iPhone since the 3G, just dropped and shattered my screen on a 5s. Making me want to reconsider putting a case. :/

It was bound to happen sometime. Sorry for your misfortune. You could get a clear otterbox, and have the same "display"
 
I tried being naked. It was fun and all, but I think i feel more comfortable in a case. I'd rather be safe than sorry.
 
Would love to and tried to be naked but I dropped my 5s from about 2ft and the screen had huge crack diagonally across it. Luckily was replaced at Apple Store at no cost, but now use a case.

Not sure how the "no case" crowd does it, but good for them.

I've got Applecare on my 5s. Never had it before. If I crack my screen will they replace it or the phone? How bad do scratches have to be before you can get a new phone? Not sure of the T&C's.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I did not have AppleCare on my 5s. I made a Genius Bar appointment just to ask if they could replace screen and how much it would cost. The OOW replacement cost is typically $269. I was honest with the Genius and told him what happened (dropped phone with Caudabe Veil case on) and got huge crack. He said he'd do a one time replacement at no cost. I was shocked.
