Who is going "bareback" with their DNA??

**kilofoxtrot** · 11-21-2012, 08:39 AM

The phone is just too dam sexy to cover up with a case. I am going bareback with this beauty.

Anyone else?

I dunno about you, but that's why I carry insurance on my phones.

I'm planning on not using a case like I do with my Gnex, but may pick one up later when there more available.

**kilofoxtrot** · 11-21-2012, 09:36 AM

Go to 2:38 on the video review. One drop, one chip on the exposed edge of the screen. Not sure if a case would have prevented this or not.

Hmmmmmmm.

I have had the ringke slim line cases for my Gnex and Sgs3, best balanced cases I have had. Unfortunately, they're not making one for the DNA. So I'll probably go naked for awhile until someone comes out with something comparable. I will not have a screen protector though. The gorilla glass II on the Sgs3, is definitely fantastic. Between my wife throwing it in her purse full of eye lash things, make up stuff, keys, ninja stars and me dropping it.. There is not a single scratch... The DNA is said to have the same glass.

As with all my phones, I typically go naked especially if the phone looks great by itself. For me it's definitely form over function.

Totally agree. Naked is the way it's meant to be and the only way to roll, IMO.

Right now its nothing for me. Not enough cases out so far, well none I like.

**SteveISU** · 11-21-2012, 12:04 PM

I dropped my DNA bareback last night.

Any damage?

**osubeavs728** · 11-21-2012, 12:41 PM

I probably will...although I did drop my gnex last week and took a chip out of the screen....so I'm a little timid. However until something similar happens no case for this beaut

**SteveISU** · 11-21-2012, 12:45 PM

No my wife was right there to catch it.

I got a Verizon black silicon case. Its not bad its has a DNA strand design on the back, there kinda raised so the fit is every so slightly loose. Gonna probably go with a higher quality silicon case soon.

I dont do cases. Been listening to all of the MN Podcast hosts for too long. Hate to cover it up.

**johnnyshinta** · 01-23-2013, 09:27 AM

I've decided to go bareback. The soft touch back on the phone has enough grip that a case isn't necessary. Which is the main reason I used a case on my galaxy s3. So slippery it was like holding soap.

**Rizz1-2** · 01-23-2013, 10:23 AM

Bareback for this guy. I think it looks too good for a case. That and I enjoy the slim feel.

**jamdmyers** · 01-23-2013, 10:45 AM

I agree with several posts, the phone is Sexy not that I'm biased but for 'slabs' we get now days I think it's one of the best looking ones out, people ask me about it all the time, and yes the backing they used is really nice feel, I can't understand why 'others' make their phones shiny and slippery.. I've dropped mine a few times (on wood and tile 2-3 ft) but nothing happened yet (except the look on my face as it was falling!)

**ericlc2** · 01-23-2013, 10:57 AM

Poetic Atmosphere clear thin case, bare screen here!

Bareback here as well. Was spoiled with my seemingly indestructable DroidX for a few naked years withstanding a few drops. I realize the DNA won't fair so well with a drop but that's why I buy insurance. Its too nice to hide.

**Yeyomiami** · 01-23-2013, 03:00 PM

Bareback here.

I purchased insurance from Verizon when I bought the DNA because I was planning on not using a case and also just wanted to protect my investment. If I drop my phone without using a case, will Verizon replace my phone no questions asked? Or will they say that since I didnt purchase a case that they wont replace my DNA?

They may still replace but they will definitely make you pay the $50 for the replacement.
