I posted months ago about my intention to go naked with my 6 Plus, since that's what I had done with all my other iPhones. However, I have since changed my mind. Not long after getting the phone, I was sitting in a movie theater and the phone slipped right out of the pocket of my dress pants and onto the concrete floor. I've never had that happen. I think it's due to the larger size combined with the slippery material and rounded design. The phone was mostly okay, but did suffer a blemish by the headphone jack. I also came close to dropping it a couple of times.
I finally decided to go with a minimal case from Skinit.com (the inkfusion lite). The plastic used feels a lot like the glass on the front of the phone, and I found it made it easier to hold on to without increasing the bulk of the phone or making it too grippy (both of these were complaints I had about the Apple silicone case).
Funny enough, only yesterday I was thinking how nicer the 6 looks without a case.
One of my gym buddies has always been case free with his 6, and has been saying for weeks how "he must get around to getting a case".
I saw him yesterday, and he said that he now has two cases but still prefers to use the phone without.
I asked him if I could have a look at his 6 (no case, or screen protector) and it looked flawless.
No blemishes, whatsoever.
But then again, he is a lucky so & so.
He's a jewellery maker who has a safety deposit box in the place that was robbed in Hatton Garden (London) a few weeks back. The robbers opened every box in the section next to his, as well as the boxes above and below his ... but not his!
The point I'm trying to make is that I think he's simply a lucky person.
While reading your comment as I lay in bed, my iPhone slipped out of my hand!
I also feel that with all of the funky exercises I do at gym it will slip out of my pocket in no time, and break.
And although I have AC+ I wouldn't want a replacement as my 6 is absolutely flawless. Knowing my luck, I'd receive one with dead pixels, or dust under the screen, or light bleed etc.
I have a black Apple silicone case, which I no longer use.
I'm currently using the Speck Ultra Hybrid which is superb, and actually really cheap.
I wish I'd got my 6 in Silver, but I ended up getting Space Grey. I truly believe the Space Grey looks fantastic when "naked" but I just can't take the risk.
Good luck ...
