I've never been much of a case guy. While I've purchased at least one every year since my first iPhone (4S), I always end up using them naked 99% of the time. There is no chance I'm buying one for the Air. It looks and feels too amazing to cover up. Between the titanium and improved glass, I'm not at all concerned about damage either. As for AppleCare+, I've saved enough by not purchasing it over the past 15 years to have paid for a couple iPhones.

I use mine with the Apple frost case. I can still enjoy the beauty and lightness of the phone without worrying about scratches on the titanium edge or camera bump. I know, it's just a phone, a tool, but I like to keep my devices as pristine as possible - for Me, not for resale.
I also use mine with the Apple Frost case, no screen protector but I might add one. I'm not willing to go caseless even though I have Apple Care on it.

I'm same. The Air is literally the perfect phone to use without a case. It feels perfect in the hand and due to the thinness it makes it easy to grip. I also own the 17 Pro Max and using it naked is nearly impossible. Its so freaking slippery it feels like its going to fall out of my hands every time I pick it up.

I got a 16 Pro Max earlier this year ( Only because my 11 Pro Max finally died of old age! Loved that phone) Weight is a killer feature for me. I really wish I had an iPhone Air. Unless others I am happy to give up features in return for a lightweight and thin phone. It still has a great display with pro motion. Most of the time I am on wi-fi so battery life wont be an issue. Built in speaker for me is to hear the odd video. For proper listening I use AirPods like everyone else.
 
The Air has been perfect for me. Battery life has not been an issue for my usage as it lasts 1.5 to 2 days.

Additionally I am caseless without a screen protector ... same as my two previous iPhones (14 pro and 11 pro).
 
I love mine. Just a pleasure to use.

As long as your okay with know compromises it’s fantastic.

No issues with battery life at all.

Apple making a MagSafe charger kind of did PR damage to the Air.

Makes people think the battery life sucks when it’s far from the truth.
