Who's rocking their 6/6+ naked?

True. After a week the Apple leather case squires a
Hand pleasing grip feel
I'm using my DIZTRONIC matte black case I posted a review about it, in the accessories thread and its slim and offer adequate protection.
Same here. I'd like to prevent scratches and add grip to this slippery phone. I love showing off the gold apple. I've had thick clear cases on other phones and they didn't do the job. I've also had screen protectors on iPads and of course that one tiny spot that is exposed gets nicked. I am considering the tempered glass screen protectors this time. I got apple care+ so id rather have a naked screen.
+ also the fact that when you lay the phone down flat on its back, it will 'rock' due to the protruding camera.
I very much dislike otterbox cases. It is no true that they are the only option. There are other similarly protective cases that are thinner and better designed. The one I linked to earlier is protection rated for 2 meters of 6.6 feet. It does make it a bit thicker however, but honestly the iphone 6 is so super thin anyway an increase to .4 inches in thickness completely fine to me. That is still thinner than that gameboy color I used to bring with me everywhere and put in my pocket.
tl;dr : The phone is so thin the extra thickness from the case makes it like a normal phone.
I was tempted but I too am very clumsy and have dropped my various iPhones many times over the years. If I didn't use cases, I'd have broken every iPhone that I've owned.
I have an Urban Armor Gear case with a glass screen protector. I've learned in the past that I can be pretty rough on phones so keeping them as nice as possible for resale is a positive.
Glad I didn't start taking my clothes off.
I tried running naked with the 6 and 6+, to be honest the phones just didn't feel right.
There was a feeling of it popping out of my hand like a wet potato.
I didn't like the feel.
The 5S I ran naked the majority of the time.
The 6 series continues to be run with cases.

Yeah, I would advise against that... it's a super slippery phone, not to mention how expensive it is... you would hate to have that one accident... you would never forgive yourself. I would just get a slim case, like a little bit of protection. It goes a long way, and you never know what sort of accident you may be able to prevent. I have a bumper case on mine, and it keeps it pretty safe, while not adding bulk to the phone.

Your phone should never be ice cold. I'd worry more about the battery at that point than the moisture from your hand.
I was determined to use my 6+ naked as I've never used an iPhone naked and this is the first time ever I have had apple care+ but apple's leather case changed my mind. The phone is still thin and it provides great protection
Currently I have BSE on mine and no case - Glossy for the back and matte for the front.
I did buy a silicone case when I bought my plus at the Apple Store but I think I'm going to take it back or exchange it for an apple leather case.
