A sleeve is a good solution. Unfortunately it doesn't protect the phone from drops occurring while using it
I think I am going back to naked on my Plus, it was a bit slippery to handle without a rear case cover but even with a clear one it takes some of the looks away from this beauty. I have a space grey by the way.
I would much prefer having my iPhone naked
But my hands are so dry that it would constantly slip out of my hands
So I have it in the leather case

I have my iPhone semi-naked. I'm using a TwelveSouth SurfacePad, which is a flip cover. It leaves one whole edge exposed (which got damaged and scratched/chipped when I dropped the phone in the parking lot 
), thinly covers the back, and covers the screen when closed (I also have a gel protector on it).

I'm going to use my 6+ naked today and see how it goes... It feels great in my hand only protection I have on it is a zagg glass shield protector. I'm a bit paranoid it'll slip out of my hands sometimes so we'll see how it goes.
I have a very slim case on mine to enhance the grip. I love the way it feels naked, but it's an expensive device that I don't want to scratch or damage. I rock it naked around the house only, but cover her up once we get out.
On my 6+ I have a glass Zagg front and matte back. I have a Defender, a Commuter, Apple leather, and Apple grey silicone cases. I usually switched them up every other day or so and went nekkid everry now and then...I love having the phone nekkid....until Super Bowl Sunday, I was rocking nekkid and when the Shehawks scored that 2nd half TD I hit a Points Square and won $200, I jumped up and my phone went flying and hit the corner on the floor. Shattered the Zagg and my front glass. $140 to fix so unfortunately I have to rock a case now.
Yeah I tried nekkid .... it's just way too slippery. With the 5 you had a pretty secure grip. With this phone there's just no way to grip it securely. I went with a Zagg tempered glass screen protector and a Diztronic case. I feel much better about the phone - may not be super thin or pretty but I feel a ton better using it.
Any update on this comment? How was your day of using it naked? I tried a day and before half the day was over (after almost dropping my phone) and went back to using my case. I also have a Zagg glass protector.
Nothing on my 6 plus at all. Now that I have a cracked screen I'm wondering if that was really a good idea. (IT ISNT AT ALL!!!)
To be fair, a cover couldn't always protect you iPhone's display from cracks.
It usually protects the aluminium back from scratches and dents.
I'm still naked on my 6+.
I ordered a case on Monday from Apple and had it overnighted Tuesday. Problem is, I accidentally ordered a 6 case. Apple is sending me a 6+ case with free overnight shipping.
Since the original transaction is still showing as HOLD in my card, the second transaction is being declined till the first completes.
The email says they will keep trying daily for seven days to process it so I just gotta be patient I guess.
We've been getting dumped on with snow so I don't dare take this phone with me to work caseless, I work outside. I'm taking my Note 4 out with me till I get my case.

Yes... I didn't even make it through one whole day before feeling super paranoid and ended up putting my apple leather case back on it. While I was at home I felt ok not using a case but as soon as I stepped outside I was really paranoid is drop it, almost did on concrete one time it almost slipped out of my hand. I think it's wise to use a case, the apple leather one is the best one I've tried.
Yeah, since my accident I am always in a case unless I'm at home reading or playing games in bed. Way too slippery. I have fairly small but meaty claws but no way can I justify going naked anymore sadly. The feel of the phone is so beautiful and wonderful, it takes me back to the 1st gen feel of the aluminum
On another side note, the Zagg Glass is completely horrible. This is just from everyday use since the Wednesday night after the Super Bowl when I went to Apple to fix my glass. All scuffed from pockets? And when I pulled it off this morning it completely cracked all over. Poor build quality by making it thinner. For $50 you'd figure it would hold up a little better

I just ordered an Apple black leather case for my 6+. I've used 4 different cases and I don't like any of them.
I think you'll like the apple leather case. It's really the best case I've used. Doesn't offer the most protection but it's slim and makes the phone much easier to grip.
I leave my Apple leather case on when I go to my university all day, otherwise I go nude.
I actually prefer the feel of the case and how it avoids the moisture that accumulates between skin and metal, but its hard to beat the feel and look of a nude iPhone.

What I like about leather is holding something natural all the time, rather than holding plastic.
Hell no. I will agree that the iPhone 6 is the most attractive iPhone yet and it sucks covering it, but I would rather cover the beauty and sell it in mint condition when I want to upgrade rather than show off it's beauty and have it look nasty when I go to sell. I have the Supcase water-resistant case on my 6, best $20 case I ever purchased.
No, you don't understand. I din't have a case on my phone...thus the screen cracked...thus NOT having a case is a BAD idea. Especially when you pay 800 bucks for it.
