Anyone not using a case?

[eclectic11]

Where and when did you order yours from?? UAG site says won't ship for 14 days last i checked

I walked into a Verizon store yesterday and they had UAG cases in Stock. I got a clear one

So far no case, however thinking that the risk of me dropping my note is far to risky so won't be without a case for long.

I just bought my note 5 today and it's naked. I'm selling my S6 and I only used a bumper on that one. The Note 5 seems to be easier to hold compared to the even more slippery S6. I'll probably look for a bumper though just to be on the safe side. I have never liked big clunky cases as they just cover up the design of the phone and add way too much mass to an already big phone.

I agree. I feel like putting cases on beautiful phones like these is akin to making a model wear a burlap sack. Just be careful with your $700 device, or get insurance for it.

As for it being slippery, as long as you don't have extremely sweaty or small hands, I don't think anyone should have trouble holding this phone. It's only slightly larger than a G3/G4. I'm very impressed with its ergonomics.

I wanted to carry my phone without an ugly case but being a glass phone, I can't risk it, so day one I bought the official Samsung see thru cover ...

Even with this minimal cover the phone still slippery

Even my cat doesn't approve of the case which by the way cost me $63 at Best Buy.

I've had mine for 3 days, without a case, dropped it less than a foot and cracked the back glass. It was my fault and very frustrating. I'll be using a case from now on.

Been rocking a spigen slim and liking it. Have insurance and will go naked when my skin comes in. I just can't stand the fingerprints.

Just a full body Zagg HDX protector. Like the fact it keeps back fingerprint free and doesn't feel slippery when holding, but I might switch the front to their glass version, just not as smooth on HDX.

Naked here, just a Zagg invisible shield on the back only. It's not as sleepery with it

I kind of want to get a screen protector for the back too. How is yours?

I'd love to go commando with my new Note 5... The look and the build quality of the phone is an awesome sight...

That said, I can't put my $800.00 phone at risk... I can honestly say that I rarely drop my phone...rarely is not never... And even if never is your current status, never ends with the first accidental drop...

My compromise solution is to get a thin clear case that shows off appearance of the phone, but gives me a little bit of scratch and drop protection. I know the thin cases won't protect like an Otterbox...but I don't think I need Otterbox protection...

I'll also put a tempered glass screen protector on the phone as well.

I give up the feel of the unibody glass body...as well as living with a phone that's a tad bit thicker... But I think the trade-off is worth it...

This is the one I just received from Samsung, I used the 30% off promo code I got for registering the phone with Samsung. It is a clear back cover with a small amount of color on the edge and corners. Very minimal coverage. It might not provide enough drop protection, but I really like how small it is. I would love to go without any cover but I just can't bring myself to do it.

I registered my phone, and I didn't get a discount code... When I chatted with the Samsung live agent and asked about it, she said that there was no discount offer for registering a Note 5, and when I asked her if she could offer me a discount code anyway, she said that she could not.

I think you got jipped. I also received a 30% off code, instantly when I registered device.

That isn't true. I've been registering phones with Samsung forever. I always get a "thanks for registering" email and the code in the email.

That being said, they have changed it a bit. Now you register your phone when you log into your Samsung Account or your phone. If there isn't an email in your inbox, delete your Samsung account and try again to log in. If you don't get it then, call customer care. In the Samsung Plus app there is a number for you to call.

I don't have a case yet. I ordered one yesterday, which may get here Saturday. The phone naked is really slippery. I don't use it while walking around just in case it slides out of my hand.
I considered getting a clear case to not cover up the design so much. However, I don't typically turn my phone over and admire it anyways. I need something to protect.

So far I am 4 days in with no case, it is a slick phone but it is no where near as slippery as a naked iPhone 6 Plus. I may eventually get a case but I am super picky on cases.

I agree. I have both and the Note is caseless. The iPhone is too slippery so it has a case on it.

I never use cases on my phones but this phone looks slippery. Anyone not using a case?

I seldom use a case and this is no different. Ergonomically it feels great in hand and I'm feeling a need for a case.
I am however using a ballistic glass screen protector (Tech Armor).
