I've been skating on thin ice lately. I haven't used a case for a week now and boy am I cautious. I haven't placed my phone on any raw surface, it belongs in the pockets with nothing else in them. I think I'll go back to my case tomorrow lol.

I just got mines Friday.
I don't really want to use a case on it, but I'm sure I'll need to get one eventually

Something to consider OP-

If you like the feel of your phone, but dont like cases and still want some level of protection, try getting a bumper case for your phone! It is not obtrusive to the feel of the phone, and it still protects your phone from falls fairly well :)

I've been going nude since the 5 and half of the time with my 4s. I was a case geek once and i couldn't settle with a specific case, was also spendin a lot on cases til my wife told me to try it nude. When i did, it felt really nice and like "new" so i stopped using cases ever since

I finally decided to get nude with my iphone 5s. Ive been spending for cases and i cant settle for one. Now my wife is happy. 😄

Just a suggestion, NEVER ever...ever, EVER go outside without protection, and keep the one in the wallet as well........SMILE

This thread inspired me to try using my phone naked more often. I have to admit, I'm enjoying it. While I do feel like my phone is more vulnerable, I enjoy the sleek, light form in all its naked glory.

My phone was naked for about 2 days and I couldn't handle it. Was too afraid to put it on any table comfortably. So I got my red apple leather case and put it back on there. :/ so long naked iPhone for now.

Im always torn between a case or no case. I hate covering up such a beautiful device, but it IS a $700 cell phone. Usually during the work week I'll leave the case on it, and take it off on the weekend.

I rarely carry mine with a case. 90% of the time my 5S is nude, the other 10% is when it's inside an Otterbox Armor case.

That's a huge change. But to answer the OP's question, going naked is awesome until you drop your phone and you get scuffs, dings, and/or scratches. You will never look at your iPhone the same afterward. Some people can get over this. But others like myself never will. In the end, it wasn't worth not having a case.

I've decided to try the LUVVITT Crystal Clear Case with Clear TPU bumper (for everyday use) so that I can still show off the GOLD....SMILE

I highly recommend not to go naked with your iPhone 5 or 5S though it's sexy. I'm using spigen tough armer with my iPhone 5 and it adds a nice high tech look to the phone plus safety of course. Dropped several times but not even a small scratch.
