Who's planning on going naked with iPhone 5?

[pnoyblazed]

Still going completely naked. I'm debating getting AppleCare+ just in case, but I honestly hate buying protection plans. When I buy them I never need them, and on rare occasions when I do them, I didn't buy it. It's always a lose-lose situation for me. I hate throwing money away. But in this case I may get it just so I can get the satisfaction of smashing it against a wall as noted by macness.

Edit: why do people post their cases in this thread? I thought the whole point of this was to see who is not using a case?

can't agree with you more

Close to naked, I guess. I didn't want those bulky cases that hide the back. The case is a 'Gel' type one that does not hurt the phone.

Oh and I also have a screen protector which I installed myself flawlessly..hehe..

What kind of case is that?

I got it from a Telus store here in the Great White North. The packaging says 'Telus' on it, so I would think they were OEMs. It was CAD$19.99. They had several colours but all of them transparent.

BTW, Telus is one of the big cell phone providers here.

Do you have a link to this case. My white phone is naked now, but I'd consider this. Thanks!

Hi, just went to their website (www.telusmobility.com) and they don't seem to have accessories listed for the iPhone 5 yet...sorry. Although they do have them in store here.

UPDATE: I'm mistaken...here's the direct link to the cases for iPhone 5 (my case is the very first one on the list):

it is a 0.5mm sheet of tempered glass with oleo coating
im getting it

I have this on my 5 and love it. Feels just like the stock glass. Only issue is that you really need a case to go with it otherwise the edges will start to chip over time. I'm using it with a cheap bumper from Amazon and it fits perfectly.

The other thing is the thickness. Makes the home button feel buried but you get used to it. I didn't like the stick on home button pads they include.

Considering it, but winter is fast approaching...

But seriously, I tried a Speck wallet case so far and while it works, I am not too crazy about it.

I had a leather shell on my iP4 for comfort as the naked iP4 did not feel nice. The iP5 is much better due to lighter weight and a bit more comfortable edges. On the other hand it's a bit thin and adding a case with softer edges I think will make it nicer to hold.

The things is so far I haven't seen a case that I like. The phone looks really nice w/o a case, so it's hard to improve on it. Perhaps a leather shell with a good fit will do.

So for now, naked until Winter
