When I got my iPhone 5, I loved the way it felt in my hand, and momentarily
thought I didn’t want a case. But after a few minutes it began to feel a bit
slippery in my hand, so I bought a thin rubbery case, not so much for
protection, but to make it easier to grip.

Subject: Using Cases (was: I took a look at the iPhone 6 and 6plus.)
I started with Apple in 2010 when I got an iPod. I immediately put it in an
Otterbox case, which bulked it up considerably, but I figured that was the
price of full protection. I had to use that iPod a few weeks ago while my
iPhone was away, and I eventually removed it from its case. I was so much
happier without the bulk and weight!
I have also always had my iPhone5 in a case, because that case let the phone
clip onto my belt. I never had to worry about bending the phone if I sat on it,
or having keys scratch it, or having lint get into the ports, and so on. When
that case's belt holster broke last week, I removed the case completely and
have been running my phone with no protection whatsoever. I find that, as with
the iPod, I prefer it this way. My sister has an Otterbox for her phone, and it
makes an iPhone 5S, which is a slim device to begin with, into a thick heavy
affair that I would never want to carry full time.
To each their own, and of course there are many valid reasons and situations
for using cases. I'm finding that, for myself, going caseless is rather
pleasant. I am always careful with my devices and have rarely, if ever, dropped
them, so I don't really worry about that. Besides, the case I had for my phone
would not have offered shock protection, so in that regard I lose nothing. A
screen protector is a good idea so that, if you ever pass your device to
someone else, the all-important display is kept pristine, but other than that I
think I'll stick to using my devices as they came to me, with no case and all
the Apple-engineered beauty on full display.

the 5 and above, is so slender I don’t even notice it’s there. With a case,
though, it seriously annoys.
I’ve had two iPhones over the course of the past four years, have never used
a case, even dropped them a few times, and never had any issues as a result.

Good on ya Chuck. A man after my own heart. I don't like sullying the natural
beauty that is the iPhone with a case either.

I used my iPhone 3GS for two years without a case, and now use it daily as
an iPod when I work out.
My iPhone 4s I have had for almost 3 years and never used a case with it
either.
Both phones are in almost brand-new condition.
I feel my iPhones are very valuable tools, and as with all tools, I respect
and treat them with great care.

Yes, but there's the rub. I never use a case.
