I would say that would effectively defeat a few of the primary design
features of MD, durability and scratch resistance. A small "naked"
media already exists, the 3" CD. Not so common in the US, but I believe
the 3" CD is available in Asian countries in CD-R (and maybe even CD-RW)
form. Most portable CD players can play 3" CDs.
Of course, you COULD break open your MDs and keep them naked, then put
them into a plastic case before inserting them into the player. In
fact, if you defeat certain microswitches in a portable clamshell
player, it's possible to play a naked MD. I've done it in the past with
one of those sample prerecorded MDs that I didn't really care for.
