Just installed my MedialDevil rear protection. I feel like even when I'm "naked" I need something on the phone for putting it down on the table

I got some Tech Armor screen protectors off of Amazon on that actually feel pretty darn good. I tried going naked, but that lasted for all of 2 minutes. I just couldn't bear my screen getting scratched up. The glass is pretty strong, but many scratches are really on that oleophobic coating and it's not as if I have some of that coating just sitting around the house.

So as a compromise, I just go with the Tech Armors on the screen and then a really thin case like the Caudabe Veil. Retains basically the same look and feel, but at least protects from scratches.

I've literally tried 10 different cases. Some I liked, some I didn't. Least favourite was by far the LifeProof. For the past month I've gone naked with a Zagg on.

This iPhone is about 3.5 months old. I had gone through two before it in the 1.5 month period. This one is actually the least damaged. A coupe chips around the edges and the rear glass panels one has a scratch that was actually caused from a case.

Just got my first ding. Well, just noticed it. Must've hit something when it fell behind the bed last because I fell asleep looking at the forums. Got a slight gouge in the vibrate switch and what appears to be a small dent. Oh well

My black phone runs naked. I do have a screen saver on it, but it is perfect. I may remove the screen saver because it seems to be yellowing.

My 5 rolls naked at home but when I'm at work I have a belkin flip case on it. I normally have a screen protector on it but took my last one off on Thurs but might put one on before work on Tues.
Working where I work there's a lot of dust everywhere so like to protect it at work but no need at home.

I rocked with a J Crew case for about a week but just took it back off. Lol

Hated see particles of dust sitting in areas between the phone and case that require case removal to clean.

I am to rough with my handsets to leave them naked. They get little nicks in the shell and it drives me crazy. To me it's like it went from new to (ab)used in just one nick.

As much as I love the look of the phone naked, I just can't do it. I want my phone to look pristine when I go to sell it. I do love looking at it but I know the moment I go without a case I will do something stupid and break it. I took the otterbox case off of my Galaxy S II once cause I loved the naked feel on that and I dropped it and shattered the screen. Never again.

I was using my 5 naked for 4 months but I just had it replaced due to a faulty power button and now I'm using a slim case. It has minimal protection but I think it will prevent scratches on the chamfered edges.

I am disabled so my phone doesn't get out much. lol I used to carry it in a wallet type case when I went out, otherwise only with a screen protector. Today I put it in a hard case mate. I like the look.
