does it sit on its back perfectly flat? cause the second photo looks like the lens is still protruding out of the case?

That ruined my iPod touch 4G 4 years ago. Out it in a case riht after opening and took out a few weeks later and! Scratched up! I guess some sand or dirt got in there and the case just rubbed it all around.
Yep. I've seen it many times.
I've always used a case. Ever since the 3G I always felt the device was to delicate to be carried around all day, everyday, without getting scratches and nicks, much less having it slip from my hand. I had a Otterbox at one time, but generally each year the cases have gotten less bulky as I've tried to capitalize on the thinning designs Apple strives for. With the 5s I used Apple's leather case which I though was the ideal balance of protection vs minimal bulk, and also provided nice grip and style. Unfortunately, only the black version conceals the dirt and wear the leather endures, otherwise I think they look horrible after a relatively short period of time.
This year I'm going to try the silicone version so that I can choose a more vibrant color that should be easy to keep clean. I may later buy a leather one in black or perhaps dark blue to use at times I want a more formal look.
With that all said, when I went to buy one at the Apple Store, they were completely out of cases for the 6. They had ones for the Plus, but ironically they were out of Plus iPhones. Anyways, I really like using the 6 naked. I still worry when I set it down for fear of scratching it, but while using the 6, the rounded edge makes swiping forwards or backwards much much easier and natural feeling. I'm going to hate loosing that aspect of the design when I do put a case on it, but I think I'll feel better knowing its protected from everyday abuse. But that may change, so who knows, I may try using it naked in the wild someday.

Absolutely rockin' the Emperors New Clothes with mine!
For those guys saying it's a slippery beast, lay off the moisturiser!

I went with the 5c naked, then the 5s naked and I have no intentions of getting a case for my iPhone 6. The phone is actually too nice feeling in the hand to have a case IMO.
Is the color Smooth Black? It doesn't look translucent at all on the Amazon web page.
I've had all my iPhones naked since 2008, but the aluminum back worries me. The Apple leather case looks great, so I'll be getting one to use sometimes.
I can't see myself having it in the case 24/7, but maybe it'll be nice to have the option.

I don't use a case. Only a mophie when I go out for a long period of time, but with a better battery life with the 6+ hopefully won't need a mophie. I like the way they design these phones and a case just makes them bulky.
No it does not. The case would need to be about .4mm thicker(twice as thick as it is now) for it to be perfectly flat on its back.
I added a pic of the back. The color of the case is grey. My phone is grey as well. I would imagine the clear is a bit more translucent if that's what your looking for.
I think you are looking at the spigen thin fit case and not the air skin. I also have the thin fit case and that is smooth black and is not transparent at all

Thanks. Wow, I guess that lens does protrude out quite a bit. Essentially the lens is .8mm out. hmmm
Well I don't know if it's .8mm for sure but just eye balling it compared to the case it looks that way
Going with a Dock Artisan wallet case this time. Ditching my wallet.
I ordered one of these myself.
I'm going right now with no case. So far so good. I have ordered a Spigen case so that when I go to work the phone doesn't get scratched gong in and out of my backpack.
so that just means apple care+ is such a good deal. for relatively 'free', you get additional coverage for everything else.
