I didn't see a recent thread so I just wanted to know who's rocking a case or naked on their iPhone 7. I have a Evo mesh tech 21 but keep taking it off. The phone feels so good without the case on. Just getting some insight on how people are using theirs

Never naked when its brand new, I'm still too afraid lol. After a couple of months it will, except at work.

Never used a screen protector, I can't stand those.

If I'm out and about all day, I put a case on. If I'm just going to work, then some days I go without one since I work at a desk all day.

I take it out for a few minutes then I get scared. I have T mobile JOD so I get it in my head to go caseless

Always use a case since the iPhone 4, currently with my matte black 7 -- Apple leather for day-to-day (switch between black, midnight blue and storm gray) and Apple Silicone (cocoa and ocean blue) when working out

I'm using a Peel ultra-thin when on home and red leather Apple case when outside. Perfect for me!

Cheers,

The phone is just too slippery for me. My hands are not that large either. The combination of the slippery phone and the larger size (only a 7) makes it impossible to use w/o a case. It will certainly hit the floor to often.

Apple silicone case and glass screen protector on since day one, to preserve resale value.

I currently have a thin case & a sapphire zagg that I just installed. The phone by itself is way to slippery for me not to drop it.

Would have to agree, when my new phone is less than 3 months old. Its under heavy protection lol
Once it reaches 1 year old, things start sliding. Phone gets thrown on the bed and various other things.

so i would say YES. for the case.

I have been going case free since I got my iPhone 6s. And I feel the iPhone 7 is more durable, so I haven't used a case on it either although it slightly stresses me out more when it's new. But fingers crossed, I have a pretty good track record of not damaging or scratching my iPhones so let's hope my luck holds out!!

I love the caseless look of the 7, but I have always used a case on every phone I have ever owned. I have yet to damage a phone, not even a cracked screen or scratch. I believe the cases have done their job well. I don't use uber protective cases either, just enough to give protection from unexpected spills.
