The feel of running the X naked

Good thing that case was on.
[doublepost=1510047627][/doublepost]I want to go nude, but am almost certain I’d break my phone. It would most likely happen while getting out of the car and forgetting that my iPhone is in my lap—which happens more often than it probably should.
I used to have this happen with my car when I didn't use it for my car stereo and a separate holder up towards the middle top of the dash for the mount. My last two cars ive use this mount now and its never happened since.
It only seems to happen when I leave it in my pocket and dont use my phone for music. But you can change your habits on how you handle your phone. Seems like most people have this same problem. Phone on lab in car and get out and boom.
I think im also more aware of where my phone is now since I use it as my headunit (bypassed my stock deck and use a dsp/digital coax from the apple usb connection kit and a dac). I turn on my car put the phone in the car mount and plug it in. I turn off the car put my keys in my pocket before I get out(I used to drop my keys this way too leaving them on my lap). Then unplug the phone and usually hold it while getting out of the car now or put it in my pocket before.
The only two drops I ever had on my 6+ where from my lap getting out of the car.
So, after deciding to go ceaseless I have changed my mind after seeing my friends SG. He’s get two nicks on the top and bottom corners and multiple screen coating scratches.
I’m now rocking an Apple silicon case which feels premium. I’ll just take it off occasionally.

You bought an $1100 dollar phone, and then you went cheap on the case. If I were to case my phone, I'd go with this ....

Same here, hate using cases. And, with something as lovely to hold as the iPhone X doubly so. I was reading an article about the iPhone X (on the verge if I remember right) and the author mentioned he already saw some scratches on the side trim and speculated it was caused by putting on/taking off the case he was using.
I love the feel of the X, but I can't deal with smudges and fingerprints.
Why? What's so special about that one? Doesn't look any better or worse than any other.
Glad I’m not the only one who does that. I eat lunch alone a lot cause I’m on the road all day and I always sit down grab a napkin and put my phone on it.
Agreed. Loved my 4S. I'm thinking that iPhone X will make people appreciate the stainless steel Watch more now.
And oh, my X is in a saddle brown leather case and will only be naked at home on the sofa.
I might have to get something with a bit more protection for fishing season this year. I usually just throw it in a ziplock bag and take it out when need be but I noticed with my 6 I got a lot of scratches on it when using it this way especially in my yak. I might have to get an otter box this year just for fishing. At least that way I can take it on the beach when surf fishing cause I really don’t like taking it out in the sand. And when I don’t take it something picture worthy always happens! No pics no proof!
I went with the cosmos blue leather case from Apple. I couldn't deal with the smudges of the naked phone and w/the clear case I had. Plus I'm seeing a lot of others with scratches already.
I just said what I would do. Take it or leave it. I don't get into message board arguments.

Dude! I'm always wiping the back of my Silver phone on my pants or shirt. Fingerprint magnet, no doubt.
This is as close as I dare get to running the phone naked for my daily use. I don’t drop phones often, but I usually ding up the edges when I do. This case has a metal curved exterior that mimics the phone, so It is actually decent.
Waiting for my better fitting glass screen protector to arrive this week, and then I should be okay.

I bought that one, and let me tell you, it is better. It feels amazing and has all the features you would want. Those cheap $5TPU cases are garbage. This one is quality, and I absolutely love it.
I was going to say I love naked phones, and the only Apple phone that was ever slippery for me was, surprisingly, the jet black model. I love the feel and grip of the aluminum 7plus back, which is strange because many many people say it’s slippery!
