Anyone going naked?

[Ecm]

I've gone with the dbrand dragon skin on the back, full-screen Ghost Armor on the front. It may not be naked, but it feels that way. A better grip and no worries about scratching up the back.

How do you like that dragon skin? What colors do they offer that in? I just found out about the dragon. Do they offer in Red?

I love it. This is the only colour of the dragon (at least at the moment). But I wanted the stealth look for my black S8+, so that wasn't an issue for me.

Here's the page with the full range of colours/textures. https://dbrand.com/shop/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-skins?utm_mnsid=UUacUvbUpU5878916

I do. Here's why I don't use a case.

Just a question, I assure you that my intention isn't to start a controversial here. This kind of protection you use at your phone can take a long fall? Weeks ago my wife was in Intensive Care Unit at the hospital. I was so concerned and nervous that my S8+ and a pack of Marlboro I took off my pocket went, both of them, seven feet down. My phone was dress with a RhinoShield Bumper case and was and is in perfect condition.

No problem! That far of a drop I'm not sure. I have a skinomi liquid skin full coverage for the screen and the dbrand skin on the back. I assume the liauid skin would protect my front screen from a normal drop height but I'm unsure if the dbrand would fully protect the back as it's more for display and grip. Right now I do have a case on it. I'll post a pic. I go back and forth but most of the time when I'm out and about I typically will throw my case on. This case to me is a little thick but I have two more cases on the way that I think are just a tad slimmer. I have a Red one coming and a Blue. Both are the exact same case. One will arrive on Monday. Here's what I have on mine right now.

Thanks for answering, no doubt that your phone looks gorgeous in the dbrand skin. I bought three cases or covers for my S8+ ; OtterBox Defender, Spigen Rugged Armor and RhinoShield Bumper(check out the screen shot there they are). The real truth is that I'm very impress with the RhinoShield Bumper, it's just a Bumper the front screen and the back of the phone stay naked, but my S8+ took a seven feet fall dress in that Bumper and is in perfect condition.

Not me I use a case and just purchased a screen protector. Too much glass to go without any protection in my opinion.

Leather folio case. That way I can at least keep the screen naked.

My S8+ goes naked when at home and I have a blue/silver Spigen Neo Hybrid case for when I'm out. It's such a great looking and feeling phone, I wish I could do without a case all of the time.

I saw a review on YouTube about that rhino shield. I wished they made one in Red. I still may get it though. They are not cheap though. About 25 dollars but they obviously do the job as it protected your phone on a massive drop. I need to get one. Thanks for sharing.

Any worries about damaging your screen over time by abrasion? The reason I ask is that I have the Spigen S-View flip cover, and when I use it, the credit card holders leave an impression on my Armorsuit film protector. It goes away in a few hours, but it's annoying, and I worry that without any protection this could damage my screen.

It's probably nothing to worry about. But on the other hand, we've been hearing since the Note 7 that Gorilla Glass 5 is very poorly resistant against minor scratches.

You are always welcome. The first case I bought, even before my S8+, was the Spigen Rugged Armor. Then bought the phone and the OtterBox Defender, this time there's wasn't a plastic screen protector at the Defender. People post that they find the Defender lightweight this time, but I found it heavy like the one at my Google Pixel XL and my former Galaxy S6. So I used the Defender at my S8+ around eight or nine days, then the RhinoShield Bumper arrived. Right now my phone is dress with the Spigen Rugged Armor, this one is kind of handsome case but don't get wrong with it cause it already took a fall face down around two to three feet tall and the S8+ is perfect. I know to many falls, as years pass me by my arms and hands are not was they used to be when BlackBerry and Android phones came to play. So since my former Galaxy S6 days the falls began, that's the reason I use OtterBox Defender, but they are heavy. It's a good thing, for me at least, that the Spigen Rugged Armor and the RhinoShield Bumper are working fine taking the falls at my S8+.

So I am sure this has been discussed but I cannot figure out how to search for it on Tapatalk. I am curious if anyone is using their S8/S8+ naked (the phone...not you lol). If so, how's it holding up? I am personally using a UAG Pathfinder and a Bodyguards tempered glass.

I highly suggest not going naked. Either you'll end up dropping the phone because it's VERY slippery (curved edges, all glass back) or it'll get micro scratches all over. My work S8 phone was severely scratched up after normal use. Gorilla Glass 5 is the easiest to scratch despite being more shatter resistant. For some strange reason, the front glass scratches much easier than the back, maybe the glass finish is different?

Naked 24/7

I use it without a case when I'm at home but when I'm going out I slap a case just to be safe.

Guilty as charged ............. since Day 1 of it's release

Same, no screen protector either...
Picked up a caseology legion case, but wasn't happy with it

 

[LuxuryTouringZone]

Using a phone these days, especially since it's all about fashionable glass and metal, is dangerous business.

 

[sweetypie31]

No nakedness here.Screen protector and otterbox commuter are must have items for me because I'm a klutz.

Had thick clear plastic backing with the usual 10,000x Verizon markup.

Felt like I was driving a tank.
