Running Naked.. and Loving It

I started out naked, but purchased the Agent18 case, just to be sure.

Well, low and behold, the case actually scratched my iPhone...whereas it was perfect before I had put it on.

So, I'm back to running nekkid and lovin it!
 
im also running naked with my touch. only reason i got a case was to protect screen but hey you have to touch the screen with these devices.


needless to say i dont regret it as i have 0 scratches on screen. i mean why buy a product for the design then uglify it with cases lol
 
No case but i have a Martin Field Overlay Screen Protector simply because it gives an added protection allows me to easily wipe smudges and keeps the screen pristine (yes i know its made of wipeable glass)

Was gonna install an invisible shield on the back but that didn't quite work out so i've given up. After all, the back is not the same scratchy metal found on the iPods. The phone is now partially naked....only the screen protector is applied which is fine since i keep the phone in a separate pocket with nothing else

Will probably pickup a sock later on...probably.
 
How do you find the Martin Field overlay, is it really clear, gloss, or matte? I use an Exim one, just curious because the MF are more easily available.
 
i didn't have a case on it and after 3 weeks I have a scratch on the screen. I'm hoping if i get a screen cover it might hide the scratch. It had to have been my keys when they were in my purse together. Oh well :(
 
this is the reason why i dont remove the BSE though i hate it a lot because it is really sticky!

now im happy with agent18. but im thinking to remove it and just put the BSE at the back and buy plastic film that apple store carry.
 
I'm thinking about getting a foofbag case... but for now I just use:

Its clear you couldn't tell it was installed unless you look for it. It also handles sunlight well and you see the screen clearly and don't get a shimmering effect like some matte options.

Drawbacks are it takes smudges like the normal glass easily but can be wiped off and its not precision cut like the invisible shield which means there's about a millimeter or two exposure around the home button and earpiece nothing major. Im guessing they wanted to make sure the earpiece/home buttons weren't obstructed in any way...at least thats what i say to make me feel better

You can get an idea of the fitting here. Its somewhat dark but....
 
I bought the Incase rubber case when I first got the iPhone but have since removed that and put on the Best Skin Ever skin and retired the case. Seems to be going well so far. I've had the Invisible Shield on my last two iPods so the piece of mind that was established with those products is great to have with my iPhone.
 
I went naked for one day. For $400 smackers I am doing the prude thing. I bought a iSkin revo. :apple:
 
I got my iPhone within the first few weeks, and was going to pick up one of those crystal sheet things, or some kind of case, but... never got around to it.

I pride myself on using my stuff though. I want it to work but I don't overly baby things, and sadly, I have dropped my iphone a few times, sometimes face down onto asphault. Each time it's horrifying but each time it's come up clean. No scratches at all on the face, a very minimal marks on the back of it, when people see it they assume it's newer than it is.

I am shocked at how durable this thing is out of the box.

I'm just shocked at how some of us can drop it on the concrete and not get a scratch on the face, but others can just have it in there pocket and come up with a scuff.

My maid dropped her vacuum cleaner in my house once, and as it fell, the handle scraped the TV screen and left what looked like a huge gash. I called my warranty company, they sent two guys out, and in the end, the scratched ended up wiping off with some cleaner. I was shocked, I was absolutely sure it was a gash in my screen. It felt like it and everything. I wonder if that's possible on the iPhone screen?
 
I am running Nakid with the InvisiShield. Why aren't more people using this. The thing is incredible. I even have my Macbook Pro wrapped with the InvisiShield. It's as close to Nakid as you can get.
 
I had a Contour iSee, but that scratched the bezel up, especially on the bottom. Took it off after a week and have never used it again.

No more scratches from that point. The only scratches I have are on the bezel and on the Apple logo (it came that way).

Most of these things I try remind me of old people who cover their furniture in plastic. That's kind of my reasoning, it creeps me out. I may try the invisishield someday, I don't know.
 
Usually my 5G has a CoreCase Aluminum case, but every now and then I would slip it out.. Let it be naked for a while, just enjoy it.. But then back into the case..

My Nano usually naked, but I have some Titanium spray that protects it. But it looks naked..

my iPhone when I get it most likely will be naked...

But, then again, I don't carry my couch everywhere with me in my pocket and use it every few minutes. I agree that plastic-covered couches are indeed creepy, but in my case, it's necessary to protect my electronics obsessively.

Hmm....really? That sucks. I just got the Agent 18 case and iPhone this weekend.....haven't noticed any scratches yet. What part was scratched, the chrome bezel or the back? Otherwise it's working out just fine.....slim design, all black, and it docks....not too bad. :)

Here's a photo of the scratches:

Feelin' the Breeze!

I must confess I am on my 2nd iPhone though...

I dropped mine in my garage as I leaned forward and it fell out of my shirt pocket (I screamed :) ) and it got a little dent on the silent switch. It also got some tiny little scratch by the send button in SMS mode, and so it was time for it to go. I posted it on Craigslist for $25 cheaper and posted pics of it. A guy bought it, and said it was worth the discount.

Now I am going on 3 months with my new one and am still without blemish. I gotta have the smallest possible, so no case for me!
 
Running naked since day one. (Yes :)).
No scratches, always alone on any pocket. Heavy use.
But sadly, now it has a few small dents, as i have dropped it accidentally several times. Slippery fish. But feel bad with couple cases I have.

Naked and loving it... YES until I find something with no bulk, no film, and no hiding my ego.

Peace and Love Again (No hippies)
