Who's planning on going naked with iPhone 5?

I really need to question the resale value argument. I'd say resale value has more to due with timimg than cosmetics. A lightly scratched caseless iphone 4S sold a month before the iPhone 5 was anounced probably had a higher resale value than a pristine cased 4S sold the day after the anouncement. Another factor to consider is do you earn enough of a premium in resale over a naked iPhone to recover what you spent on cases. Looks like your planning to spend well over $100 on cases. I have a hard time believing that one or two years from now you would be able to sell that iPhone for a $100 more than someone selling a slightly worn naked phone.

i'm really only spending 15-20 on protection(cost of the bodyguardz)
the bookbook is only being bought because of the convenience it brings me, protection is just an extra benefit. I'll also be selling the bookbook whenever I decide to get rid of the iphone 5, so that lessens the hit right there.
 
I only run my iPhone naked when I'm about to sell my iPhone or I broke my case and I'm just waiting for my next case.

When I get my iPhone I'm just going to by a bumper or some product from SGP.
 
I prefer naked
To save on AppleCare+ and Case costs
Agree resale value is timing and unlocked and condition
 
Now that I have the 5 on the way, I decided to use my 4s naked. I hated it. I didnt like the feel or the look. Case was back on in less than a day.
 
I would love to go naked with my iphone 5 but I will need a pocket to put it in. Besides, I believe it's illegal to go naked. :)
 
I only plan to buy a bumper because I like to make my iPhone different than most of the ones around me. It sucks when your around someone and they all pull out the same phone, same color scheme. I'm thinking the Element Sector looks intriguing so far.
 
I shattered the back of my iPhone 4 and 2 weeks later shattered the front. considering theres pieces of glass on both sides I think ill go for a sleek case this time around. My luck with iPhones isn't so great

My luck hasn't been great with the iPhone 4 or 4S, either. I had the Galaxy Note for a few months as part of a review assignment, and I never put anything on that phone. If the iPhone 5 glass is really Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which is what was on the Galaxy Note, then nothing is going to scratch it, so I'm not planning on putting a case on the 5. Believe me, that note was put through all kinds of mistreatment and torture (accidental, not on purpose) and it never got even a knick. My iPhone 4S has at least three scratches on the front and back.
 
Gonna hack up my own screen protector 'strips' for the 2 glass pieces on the back and I'll have a front one on too. Other than that she's gonna have a bare a s s like all chicks should
 
I'll just leave this here....

Naked is the only way. We already know that iPhone users get laid more often than users of other brands. What many people don't realize is that going naked helps you get laid even more than regular iPhone users. Why might you ask? Well...

1) Going case free signifies confidence. You don't need to have a case because you are confident you can stop your phone from plunging into the ground.
2) Going case free proves that you are physically and mentally mature. Other phone users drop their phone because their muscle-mind concentration isn't strong enough. You on the other hand, are strong.
3) Going case free means that you know how to treat something beautiful. After all, Sir Ive didn't spend countless hours making your iPhone the best in its class just to have you cover it with a $12.99 piece of plastic.

I could go on and on. Whether conscious or subconscious, others do judge you based on how you display your phone. If you want to get laid more, going naked is your best bet.

I'm planning on purchasing a LifeProof case as soon as they are available. Until then my iphone 5 will be totally naked.
 
I'll be sticking with a Gelaskin. Enough protection to prevent scratches from everyday pocket- and desk-interaction. I'm not worried about dropping it.
 
I'll probably get burned here but I never use a case.
On my iPhone 3G I used one for a while before a friend showed me how well his had fared without one. From then on I've gone naked. I love the look and feel of my iPhones.
I can certainly see the benefit of a case and for some its unavoidable. Even in my line of work I know I should (I'm a Navy man) but I've never had a problem.

Caseless!
 
You guys are wild. I always wrap it up. Although, this week, for the first time ever, I'm raw dogging my iphone 4, since the 5 will be here soon. I must say...it...feels...better. No way I could risk it with a new phone. Maybe a year from now i'll be familiar enough with it that i'll go unprotected.
