Who here has a naked iPhone?

Naked white 4S. I dropped it a few months ago on the hard tiled floor at work and it was fine. Picked it up, wiped it off and put it in my pocket. It shall remain naked forever.
 
Naked iPhone 4 for almost 2 years off and on. I first got it and put front and back screen protectors and bumper on. Liked it for a while, but hated the feel of front protector, so removed just that. But after first 4-6months of trying to keep pristine, I left on just the the back protector and decided to stop treating my phone like baby. Maybe 10 drops on various surfaces, couple dings, tons of hairline scratches in direct sunlight, but it's just a phone (to an extent) ;)

This thread makes me wanna throw on the bumper to see if I can stand it again. Just a lil safety can't hurt.
 
Currently front and back protector only. I "had" to stop using a case because my iSimple dock connector doesn't play well with cases.

Haven't dropped it so far and love the feeling of my semi-naked phone.
 
Only time I put a case on it is at work. It has a high chance to get damaged there so I put one it on it when I go to work. But after work I take it out of the case run it naked. I have dropped it once or twice naked on concrete and tile floor. It still looks just about brand new. I believe the iPhone is just as durable as any other phone out there really. Any phone can break.
 
Me!

No protection no dings or scratches!!

I do have a mophie but I use it to charge then take it off!
 
Around the house I have mine naked, but when I go out for long periods of time I usually put my case on... I've had my iPhone for almost 6 months now, and no major drops at all (except when I dropped it onto my MBP while it was naked and it scratched the side).

how many people go naked and how often do you drop your phone compared to other people with a case which might give you enough confidence to go naked

How would I know how often people with cases drop their iPhones? Drop frequency depends on the person, not case versus naked. Mine's naked. Haven't dropped it yet, knock on wood. Why are you polling others anyway? Do what works for you. Take whatever precautions you're willing to take.

Not sure why people parrot this meme. Accidents happen. You can attempt to mitigate them but you can't prevent them entirely.
 
I use a mophie air all the time but today it's been naked and it's nice to see and use it without a case.
 
Mine is naked for about 90% of the day, only in my Tuch sleeve when out as its my wallet too.

My bumper the closest thing to no case just broke so I've made the decision to go naked for a while. So it made me wonder....

I go "naked" or as i like to call it "case-less", using the iPhone the way they intentionally made it out to be.
 
Tried naked, phone too slippery, went back to rocking a case. My wife on the other hand rocks her iPhone naked and proudly.
 
My phone is not naked. I have a cool Otterbox case to help me protect my phone from almost everything I do. I could probably drop it from 20 feet high to a concrete floor on the ground and it would still look like new.
 
i have use all the iphone models, and always naked. i hate cases so much. naked feels waaay better :D
 
It's not about protection for me, I just don't like the feel of the iPhone in my hand without a bumper, because of the rounded corners.
 
I sell my devices and upgrade when new models come out. That being said I always use a case because of the resale value. A pristine device is more attractive to a prospective buyer.
