Thinking of going caseless... [MERGED]

I agree already returned it. I'd rather use the Apple case than this thing.
I would return it, that looks like a huge hassle to take your phone in and out of, plus it adds a ton of bulk.
Just got the sleeve today. It's a bit thicker than I'd like. Also without the phone in Tony cards just fall out to the sleeve. Not sure if I like it, may return it.
Never had a case and no scratches or damage. On my 6th iPhone now. I dedicate my front right pocket to the phone (nothing else in that pocket), cut up some old thin mouse pads to the size of the phone. Lay it on them while charging or watching TV.
Just love the way it feels naturally.

I had planned to go caseless with my matte black 7+, then when I got it it was very slippery especially pulling out of my pocket so I went on the hunt for a case from Apple but there were none in the stores. Good thing though, bc after a few days I'm comfortable with it enough now that I'm going to keep going naked, the way it was meant to be.
Yup I returned it. Not worth the money and I'm okay with the idea of a sleeve but this one adds way too much bulk.
In the early days of the iPhone I didn't use a case. I don't think used a case until the iPhone 4. Hard for me to remember but at the time the only reason for me to use a case was to protect the resale value of the phone on eBay. But now that I'm in IUP it onset matter.
As much as I'd like to go caseless, I just can't do it. I've always had a Caudabe case on, which is the next best thing IMO. Picked up another Veil XT in black and am now just waiting on them to release the tried and true Sheath. Both cases basically preserve the thinness of the phone and at least provide some protection. Just not worth it to me to buy a $900 device and then leave it to the whims of my butterfingers. Plus I can get a little OCD about scratches.
I use a sleeve type wallet case on my iPhone 6 and the footprint of the whole thing gets pretty big. I can't keep it in my pocket. Only end up carrying it when I'm wearing my suits or jackets.
Yeah I got the sleeve and decided after opening it to return it. It makes the phone way too big exact opposite of why I was looking to us a sleeve haha
I decided to go caseless/no screen protector, and so far so good. I dropped my 7 about two feet on to our hardwood this morning with no scratches.
I put my last two iPhones in cases with screen protectors, but the iPhone screen does a way better job with fingerprints/smudges and it feels way better in my hands.

lay the phone on the surface...
If you are that concerned, you should not be going caseless.
I used to be 100% naked until my 6+ and my 6s+ (now). Just set it down softly. At restaurants, my phone got a napkin to sit on, on the table while I ate. At work, it would sit on a glasses cleaning cloth, and regardless where I was, it was always sitting on something (maybe my wallet if I had nothing).
The 6+ was just too slippery for me in the California high desert (very little humidity). I would LOVE to go naked and I am super jealous of those who do... The non plus edition seems like it would be literally 4x easier to hold/deal with the phone. So much so that I'm considering the nonplus edition when/if I upgrade next year.
I have mine in a Sena leather wallet case. http://www.senacases.com/snap-on-wallet-iphone-6-plus - adds some bulk but the leather is far tougher than the Apple leather case (one drop and it shreds the Apple leather case).

So this may have been brought up so if so just remove.
Is there anyone who is keeping their iPhone 7/7+ naked? Right now I have a case and tempered glass screen protector but I am having the urge to see the beauty of the phone.

I am so torn between the silicone case and going naked. I may just splurge on Apple care plus and go naked. Since its only a little more than the life proof case I normally purchase each year.
That sounds like a pretty good idea. I just want to enjoy the phone without all the plastic on it but I am scared I may drop it or scratch it. I'm OCD so it's a lose lose situation.
I am rocking the silicon case right now. I'm OCD about my phone too I know if I ran it naked I would be constantly looking it over for scratches.That sounds like a pretty good idea.

I'll probably end up getting AppleCare +. Sounds like a good trade off.
