Went caseless today

[MaxSmarties]

On my iPhones I've always used case (and glass screen protectors) since day one. It helps me to preserve reselling value, and replacing my iPhone every year with the new model, I need to sell the old to buy the new one.
The last iPhone I used caseless was the iPhone 3GS.
So even if I take very care of my iDevices, I'm protecting them with cases.
I have three Apple silicone cases, three different colors, and the "iHump" for the days when I need to stay away from the outlet for a long time.

Here's a super thin case. I just bought it. .33 mm thick. Should be as close to going naked as possible.

Nice. I had something like that on my previous iPhone 6.
It could protect about scratches, but it does almost nothing against drops.

On my 5s I was always caseless. Then I went to a 6 and 6 plus and the phone way to slippery for my rough construction hands (dry lol).

Fast forward and now I have the SE. First thing I did was put a glass screen protector on it. I've bought 2 different cases for it from Best Buy and the cases are back in their packaging waiting to go back! The SE just feels right naked.

I also ordered some Vans cases and a saddle brown leather Apple case for the SE , but I'm pretty sure naked is gonna be the way to go on the SE.

Glass screen protectors work much better on the flat SE display than the curved 6/6S

Yes. My brand new SE is nakey nakey also. Why make the perfect form factor phone bigger, thicker and hard to retrieve from your pocket? I did get AppleCare just in case, but if 3.5 years of caseless iphone5 is any omen I won't end up using it. Tried and true form factor with tried and true internals= perfect phone for the next 3.5 years.

applecare doesn't apply for cosmetic damages like scratches and dents

Yes but it does cover quarterly lint removal

Yes but it does cover quarterly lint removal

excuse me, how is "lint removal" related to the choice of going caseless ?
Lint will accumulate with the case or without it (unless you use a "sealed" case).

pardon my ignorance about cases - i assumed they all had flaps for the lightning port. when i used to bring my 5 in for lint removal, it seemed like the geniuses did not know about lint accumulation and would always comment that i had an extraordinary amount of lint in my phone. I suppose i have jerry the belly button elf living in my pocket...

most of the cases are opened on the bottom, and almost all of them left the lightning connector unprotected.

I've been caseless all day. It feels so good and natural. But I'm treating it like a newborn. So slick but I love the look 🏾🏾

 

[tr1ad]

Still caseless after a week of holiday at a beach resort.... Nothing to report

 

[blackmagicwoman]

I'm going to go naked for 4 more days. The only thing that I worry about is trying it at work. I'm constantly on the move and carrying it from one place to another is questionable. 🏾

Photos or it didn't happen

 

[blackmagicwoman]

Photos of what??? You know what it looks like. JB, you have already seen it. 🏾

Are you not worried about scratching the device?

Mine is. Well there is an option. Tape over the hole. Not the perfect fix but world keep lint off.

I've thought about it but it is not an extreme concern.

I like going caseless on occasion. I have bought so many cases that I just ended up using the black  leather one and called it a day. I have always disliked the protruding camera and thus is the only reason I don't just ditch the case altogether.

Not practical for me ....
