My 6s plus is the second metal phone i have, before i had a htc m8, and used it with no case sometimes. One of these times the phone fell into concrete and left with some scars.
Do big damage, but it was an almost new phone that i had to use with these marks for some time.
I prefer now using a case everytime instead looking into a ugly scar into the aluminium.
Also since i have not so large hands i think the 6s plus is easier to drop unlike the htc m8, so case and glass screen protector for me.

Plus, it adds personalization!

if you, like me, would like to preserve the value of the iPhone for future reselling, use a case. Period.

No matter what people are saying: a phone could drop or dent by accident.
I wouldn't buy a second handed iPhone full of scratches and dents, would you ?

For me it's not just preserving my iPhone for future resell, I just don't like beat up iPhones. I like to keep my devices in pristine condition.

Absolutely. If you're going to go naked you need to be okay with the possibility of your device having some bumps and scratches.

Understandable.
I like to preserve my devices too.

Correct. I know many people that pay much less attention to their devices.

Still going without the case, though this weekend i did put one on for protection during t-ball and when we were going to be out for a long time I put the battery case. But so far so good without one during day-to-day usage :)

I usually put a case now, because I drop my phones often and they really get messed up lol.

Midnight blue Apple leather case and Zagg HDX screen protector, which I find to be much better than tempered glass. I may eat naked, but my phones will always be clothed.

The only thing on my SE is glass screen protector on front, fits beautiful and a clear plastic protector for the back. I think the SE fits so good in the hand and it's such a great built phone I like to see it but also the clear protectors saves it from scratches!!!

As bad as I want to, I'm way too scared. I baby my phones. I've got a 6 that still looks brand new!

IMHO, phones are like people. They should never leave the house naked, it's just asking for trouble.

I use my SE whitout a case but I have tempered glass. I really love the feeling of this phone whitout a case. On my 6S I use a superslim case. Mostly because it's so slippery whitout. I never have keys or anything in the same pocket as my phone so I'm not so afraid of scratches on my SE.

I wanted to, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. The previous owner of mine did drop it a couple times and ding the corners up, so the case helps cover that, and protects it from more (I have 20 month old twins, and they can do some damage in a hurry).

If it can survive your twins, it is truly a miraculous feat of design and engineering.
