Do you have a case or go naked?

I usually use a casemate gel case (it's semi transparent so I can show off the phone while protecting it) but I do have a speck candyshell and an otterbox defender as well.

If I wanted to go naked, I'd go to a nudist colony.

Cases all the way. I have two Ballistics and one OB Defender. My phone is never naked.

I go naked 90% of the time. The steel and glass just feels better than some plastic casing.

I have dropped it, but I find I drop it more when I have it in a case (Otterbox reflex) Not sure if it is just because I am more careless when it is in a case or if it is something else...

I use a case when I am running, biking or doing some other physical activity. For walking around town, nothing.

I love the look and feel of the naked iPhone; however, I always keep mine in an OtterBox Defender. I drop my phone at least 2-3 times a week so the protection from the Defender is more than worth it. Plus, I have the red and black combo, so it's a pretty good looking case.

Can't stand the OCD anymore...

I too have been very OCD with cases and screen protectors. I just can't take it anymore. I use a rubber case, I don't like the feel of hard shells, or other bulky cases. I was using an invisible shield and, over time, it began turning a light tinge of yellow, atop the lovely finish of my white 4S. Ughh, even with the warranty replacement Zagg offers on their screen, it's such a headache returning it and replacing with a new one. So I ripped it off, never to return...WELL, that was liberating! The screen is absolutely crystal gorgeous. So now I've been selectively removing the rubber case in non-volatile situations, like the office (as opposed to construction sites, which I often for my job). When I hold that bare iPhone in my hands, it just feels amazing...silky smooth, thin...dam sexy. After about a month without the screen protector, the Gorillia Glass is holding up beautifully, no scratches.


Libirate yourselfs people, just let it be free, it feels great!

i went naked for awhile, but my wife kept bugging me to put a case on it. i usually keep my phone in my pocket, so i HATE bulky cases...so i copped a zagg shield and an incipio snap on case, all black, very thin. it's plain and simple and it suits me just fine

It took me a while but I have gone with the elago case. It's super thin so it probably does protect much from a big drop. I like it more to give me a better grip on the phone. As good as the iPhone looks naked I just can't hold on to it when it's naked. This case adds only a small amount to the phone and I don't drop it like I would if it was naked.

leather - Do you not like your Elago? Spill the proverbial beans. :D

Its nice if slim and near naked is what you want. Feels good in the hand. Not sure Im crazy about the apple logo cut out though. It will only offer light protection in my opinion, but then again I got use to the heavy duty cases which are probably overkill in most environments. One thing that stands out to me over the incipio feather which is probably why it feels good in the hand is the back edges are slightly curved which I really liked. Feels smooth almost sort of rounded.

+1 - my phone is also ALWAYS in a case of some sort, whether it be a LP, speck cs, Uncommon Capsule, OB defender or a Mophie JP Plus. I tried a few times to let my phone go 'au naturale' but i just couldnt adjust to it at all!

I have a huge case problem! I switch between them constantly, always buying new ones, and then ditching them to go naked. At this moment I am using the RokForm v3. It's awesome! It's strong, durable, and leaves my phone with a sense of being half dressed (or half naked) however you want to see it.
