Is the V20 slippery to hold bare naked?

[talon1189]

I never had cases on my last 3 phones. I always went "bare naked" I just got my phone tonight. Just wondering what other users are experiencing..Is the phone considered too slippery to hold naked? ......

From what I've read in the forums so far, yup, it's slippery without a case. I've yet to try it, but since I'm traveling, that's not happening for another week

Its extremely slippery.

I've never used cases on my previous 4 phones but relented with the V20 and just ordered a case.

Granted the majority of the time I'll still go naked but if I go out dancing or a bar I will use the case

Yes, it's definitely slippery. And add to it the fact that it's a bigger device than most which makes it even more hard to handle. I refuse to use a case with it because I like the form factor and I am super careful, but I know I'm eventually going to drop it. I also just got a Pixel XL, so I'm weighing my decision on which to keep. The Pixel XL may be on the ugly side, but it's much easier to hold and handle for a 5.5" device. I love the second screen on the V20, but I really like the form factor of the Pixel XL - easy to use one-handed.

Leave the rear clear protective film on that it came with. It looks good on my silver V20, plus it makes it very grippy and easy to hold. Highly recommend it.

Thanks for the information. I am doing the same for my new activated phone (today) I also have the silver phone ....

With the reports of cracking camera lenses starting to pop up, I'm worried that this will not be a 'go naked' kind of phone :S Any of you proud owners seen anything 'odd' starting to happen with your lenses?

The thread that was just started about camera lens cracking was due to it being dropped into the bottom of a purse and the lens striking something.

I always go "naked" with my own past smartphones. I am always overly careful when putting my phones in my pocket and where my own environment is so the phone won't get bumped accidentally out of my own control ......

Not sure your phone will be anymore slippery naked, than it is with pants on...but I could be wrong

Yes, the V20 is a bit slippery but not as slippery as the Note 7 that I had for a few weeks. I got a clear case for my V20 that quite minimal and the sides looks like they have been finely sandblasted which provides a lot of grip. This case is $7.87 for a 2-pack at Amazon.

Mmm... the Note didn't feel slippery to me. Maybe the V20 will be just fine, too! I'm just now worried about the lens thing. I really don't wanna have to go through yet another recall/replacement thing.

 

[BasPilot]

Slightly slick... Yes... But it feels very thing and slippery is not a work I sound used. I would have used that word for the note 7 for sure. I could hold it in any manner and it would move around regardless. Both feel good though I could end up rocking this beast naked.

I hate that Verizon put such a big Logo on the back. Douchebags!
