I have a space grey iPhone 6 w/o screen protection. I've had it pretty much since launch day, and I have no scratches on the screen/oleophobic coating. That being said, I am pretty conscious about where I put my phone (never with my keys, never face down, etc.)
Got a tip for us?

Hello buddy.
I'm just wondering if you're using a case with your 6/6+ after all?
I have a 6, with a black Apple silicone case but I really don't like it.
Everything is just monotone (Space Grey handset) and I'm thinking of going case free.
The only thing is, the 6 is so slippery!
Might get the Power Support Air Jacket (frosted version) which is relatively see-through.

How has it held up??
Ahem ... the phone, I mean
I have the same handset, by the way.
Kind of wishing I went with the Silver version, though ...
Nope. That happens only with all glass phones like 4/4S.
IPhones always have been delicate products, for one reason or another.
Well I bought 2 iPhone 6's in White/Silver and they are both going to be naked.
I'm hoping they hold up OK. I agree about the slipperiness of the phone especially coming from 4S's
They are beautiful though

Slipperiness is a non-issue. I don't know where people are getting that. I use it naked. Now, I don't throw it around like a plastic toy, but I don't baby it either. I try to avoid laying it on rough surfaces, but aside from that, I just use it.
I tried several cases in the beginning (many I liked), but I always ended up taking it off after a few minutes because the phone is just too damn pretty naked.
It is still pristine.

I rock it naked in my day to day and use an Otterbox Commuter on occasions when I know there'll be a ruckus, like the gym or tailgating.
I just bought a 6+ and intend to use it without a case but purchase the Apple Care+ (Lots of maths in this post! )
As I'm so fussy over cases and screen protectors and various other things I can easily spend the £79 + £55 just going through various cases and screen protectors!
Since I get two chances, if I lose my first 'life' I might consider a case but until then I aren't bothering!

Cheating. Naked means naked, not partially clothed part time. Toss the leather wallet and be truly free.
My 6 Plus now has some protection and I am not one for cases. Much better for one handed operation and at least I can be a little less concerned about handling this beast.
I am for now until I find a case that I really like. Leaning towards the otterbox defender series.
Didn't use a case for the first few days I got my 6+ since I was waiting for my case to be shipped. It definitely made the phone even more unusable with one hand cause it was so slippery. I'm now using a spigen slim fit which adds very little bulk and has a nice grippy matte black texture. Highly recommended and it's only about $15

I have the Otterbox, defender and commuter. Always loved them but think the Spigen tough armor is better ( I also have)
I was going to not use a case because the phone is so pretty. sadly I'm a college student living on campus and I did drop my old phone a few times last semester, so keeping that in mind I purchased my all-time favorite case company's case: elago s6+ slimfit case. I actually like the look and feel of the phone better. No screen protector because I don't want to ruin the curved glass look. I did fine with my last phone without anything to protect it. But then again, it was an iPhone 5c.
I suppose in my current situation this is as close to naked as I dare to get with my phone. I considered transparent cases but they just don't look that good and plus they don't feel good either.
