Does anyone else hate using a case on their iPhone?

[Rob Phillips]

I hate using a case but I always use one. On top of the fact that I'm clumsy (my wife will vouch for that) I have two kids that love running around the house with Daddy's iPhone. A case is a must for me!

I absolutely hate using a case, but I'd rather use one instead of having to replace another screen

Re: I hate using a case ! Help !

For those who dislike cases but want protection while carrying, I suggest a leather slip-in pouch. This style of case was always popular with BlackBerry users, me included.

This is exactly what I was going to say. I'm still on a Z30, deciding between either a Priv or 6S Plus (waiting for Verizon's Priv) and all I've ever used is a leather pouch. It's protected the entire time I'm not using it, including from being scratched in a pocket or when I toss it on the table, but I don't have to have any more bulk when I use it.

Apple puts so much effort into the design and materials of their phones I think it's a shame that everyone just covers it up in a $20 case.

I use a clear Griffin case!

I ended up sucking it up and getting the "rose grey" apple leather case today. I like the color !

Even though I don't care for cases, I find them necessary for day to day activities as to protect my devices in the long run. Over the years my lifestyle has changed so now I use minimal type cases such as the Apple Leather cases. A long way from the Otterbox Defender I once used and felt l had to have maximum protection.

Yes hate using a case.

I use a Black Leather Apple case on my 6S Plus but honestly I would prefer to not use one at all and with the iPhone 7 in the fall may go that route. The issue for me is how thin they are getting with the curved edges which make it hard to hold and easily dropped which I would prefer not to do.

For those who do go caseless do you have anything special protecting your phone, 3M Skins, bumpers anyting?

That is what I may be looking to do for the next iteration in the fall, especially if it gets thinner again but honestly they need to stop the thin routine and put a batter in it. Pouch would be nice, but I still want the 3M clear film to protect it but its hard to get the iphone into the pouch with that on it.

Gotta have a case (me not you) for 2 reasons.

1. The smooth form factor hurts my hands. I have to super grip it on phone calls and just holding so I actually get a sore hand holding it. Case gives me the much needed grip.

2. When I skydive I Wingsuit and skydiving is a violent arena for cell phones. The lifeproof is the best protection for Dropzone environments.

Lifeproof N??d + AppleCare+ and I'm pretty confident I can replace my phone whenever I choose too and not get myself in a situation where I am without.

I prefer naked. I have a ZAGG shield on the back of my iPhone and ZAGG Glass screen on the front. I keep my iPhone in a super slim SENA leather pouch when in my pocket.

 

[iOSConvert2k14]

I prefer naked but hate scratches. I have an Otterbox Defender with a ZAGG screen protector but would prefer a clear case. Any recommendations?

I tried the leather pouch but found the leather too flimsy because it's so thin. Do you have to really work it to get it back IN to the pouch (I found I did so I returned it).

Nope. I have two different ones. I have-

UltraSlim Classic Leather iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus Pouch Phone Case | Sena Cases
Heritage UltraSlim Leather iPhone 6 Plus/6s Plus Phone Case | Sena Cases

My devices slide in easily. It is leather so it has a break in period. For the first few days it is somewhat difficult, then it is super easy. I also do not find it flimsy. I have had the classic for over a year and the heritage since I got the 6S Plus on launch day and they are both in excellent condition still.

I love using official Apple leather case(Midnight blue) on my space grey iPhone 6s.

Re: I hate using a case ! Help !

Case off, at home, most of the time, I HATE the case, but the lesser of two evils, is a must....so a case it is when I leave home.

I'm currently using the clear spigen ultra hybrid. I love it. Only $12 on Amazon

 

[imwjl]

My solution had been thin easy off cases with decent protection.

For 6s Plus Plus that has been Apple and Incipio Octane. I can't say enough good about the Incipio Octane because of the combo of thin, protective and easy to get off.

Naked all the way............

Nope i love using cases on my iphone. I love using my Lifeproof!
