Who's rocking their 6/6+ naked?

Didn't use a case with my last one but for this yes - it makes it more grippy & makes it flush with a surface you put it on with the protruding camera.
It's too smooth for me to use comfortably without worrying it's going to go flying on the crowded subway if it went naked. It's a big phone, I have very small hands & want to read on my commute. Now I don't worry. Totally practical.
I don't care if it doesn't look as "attractive" with a case - what is it, my boyfriend?

I'm going to get this case. It looks really nice. I wish the blue one was in stock online though.

Apple Leather, Black
The only way to go. Really makes a slippery device like itself easy to hold!

I had a case and screen protector picked out 2-3 weeks before I got my phone. First thing I did was peel off the front plastic and put the screen protector on. Then then back half and stuck it in a case. My fingers have never technically "touched" my phone (except for the buttons obviously). And that's cool with me. I've handled them at the store. No need to handle mine. 
Only case actually worth having is an otter box. But who really wants to walk around with a brick? Other than that they are pretty pointless. Most people who I know who have cracked their phone screens have had cases on them.
I usually don't use cases, but the stupid protruding lens is forcing me to use one. I always have film protectors on the back, and I like to sliding it around the table. With the lens surrounding piece holding the back up, I don't want to scratch that piece.. so for now I'm on Apple leather case in brown.
Another reason is getting use to the size. Holding it in hand and moving about, the bigger size might bump into a few things before I'm use to it.

I have a gold 6+ so I didn't want a case to cover up how beautiful the phone is. I ended up with a very slim clear gel case that provides a little extra grip and allows the gold color to shine through.
I just got an iPhone 6 and am planning to use it with a skin on the back. The main reason is because it gives a better tacky grip than the slippery bare phone with virtually no added thickness. Even with a bumper on my wife's phone, adding that ~1/4" in total width makes it more difficult to text 1-handed.
Still deliberating if I want to put a skin on the screen as well or not. Restoring from my 5s so I have about 40 minutes to decide

I've rocked every iOS device i've had (since 2008) naked, however, the iPhone 6 is the first device I would not. The design just makes it too slippery, and this model just feels more fragile. But at least the thinness and light weight offsets the case.
Didn't think I would like the Apple leather case, but I love it. Great fit. Purchased it because I had no other case and it does feel great too.
Waiting for the Lifeproof NUUD to release. May also potentially purchase an Otterbox Defender for comparison.
They need to release soon, I hate having this naked.
I'm also in the camp of slight buyers remorse. The phone may turn out to be too big, but we'll see. There's no going back at this point, no way I'm paying a restock fee and having to eat cost on my ZAGG just to buy a new one.
I made the decision, I'll have to live with it.

I'm going naked, who is with me?
Soon to be the owner of a brand new 6+ and have been very underwhelmed with choice of cases for the 6+. I am going naked and will purchase a leather pouch to use when transporting in pocket. The 6 and 6+ are awesome looking phones and I think a case takes away from that.
Who else is going naked with 6/6+

Theres no way i could personally use this phone with no case its too slippery and being that its so much bigger than what Im use to it feels like I will drop it at any moment. Right now I have a cheap silicone case on it which is mainly for added grip. Ordered the apple silicone case hoping I like it...by the way the phone is big but you will be surprised how fast you get used to it and it just feels right
Yeah, I'm still switching back and forth between my 4S, so I'm constantly worried I'm gonna drop the thing.
I'm super clumsy! I'm not brave enough. So sorry! I'll probably do it the month before I sell the phone! Lol ##
