I really want to carry this phone without a case. Curious to see if anyone is and their thoughts on the glass back scratching. Thought?

Nope!
I’m worried it’ll crack if I accidentally drop it.

On one side you wanna show off the beautiful iPhone but on the other side you want to keep your iPhone. I always Otterbox my phones

90% of the time it’ll be naked, the remaining 10% in an Apple leather case because I love leather🤷🏾*♀️

I never had any issues with my 4s scratching nor did I have issues with my jet black 7 Plus. I’m not worried at all. all the phones in between were in cases most of the time. Wasn’t really fond of the look lol

You already know I’ll be sporting my new iPhone 8 without a case....

Of course. I went Jet Black Caseless and loved it. Just don’t think I can go back to putting one on.

If you went case-less with the Jet Black iPhone it’s should be a breeze to case-less with the new iPhone 8 containing a sturdy glass exterior....

I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go without a case with this beautiful lovechild of an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 6. But I’m a klutz. And too many animals and humans running around.
So sadly no. If I can ever find a purple leather case I’ll put that on.

Wow...they’re sold out already? Have you tried to order from the Apple store online? It really is a beautiful case.

I was trying to avoid the wait. HA!!! Irony.

I’ve got to take my new (to me) 8 year old rescue Chihuahua for his initial vet visit this morning, so I’ll stop around a few shops to see if I can find one.

Aww, good luck with the Chihuahua. We just got a 4 month old wire hair Dachshund that is bringing joy to our lives, and a playmate for our 9 year old Dachshund!

ATM I'm not using a case on my 8. I mentioned in another thread I may pick up a Peel or Totallee case just for grip.

I just bought AppleCare+ and was thinking maybe I would go naked for a little while. Not today at work though.

I'm debating getting a case. I usually hate cases as I believe they totally ruin the look and feel of the phone. I MIGHT get a super thin clear case. Still undecided.

The 8 seems to hold up quite well in the drop tests I've seen so far.

Watching this drop test, I’m not willing to risk it. It’s glass. It’s not unbreakable.

Blank.

And here’s a wholly unnecessary shot of Taquito.

I have been using my iPhone 8 naked since I received it on Friday but I do find the device to be slippery with the glass back and have almost dropped it a couple of times. I will eventually being putting my Apple OEM leather case on it which should solve the issue.

I had an extra front screen protector so I slapped that on Friday. I ordered a glass back protector and already put that on. I think that's it for me, maybe get a bumper but I'm not going to put a case on this.

I saw on another forum where one person had dropped his phone from a couch onto a tile floor. The back was shattered along the top.
Not risking it. Especially so after seeing that picture.
