Naked X

[thegrants82]

Is anyone using a case? I just can't get over how nice this thing feels. Anyone worried about the camera getting scratched? I wonder if the camera cover is sapphire like the iPhones?

I have not once worried about the camera on a phone getting scratched in all the years of owning a phone with a camera (since 2002, if memory serves correctly), and I've never had a phone's camera get scratched.

Cool, thanks.

Actually, I just looked up my first camera phone, and it was from 2003. It's pretty hilarious to think of how people reacted to my phone having a camera. My family was all like, "Why do you need to have a camera in your phone?" It was the Samsung SGH-E715. Man, I loved that phone.

My first was a nextel 1850.. 1999 or 2000 I think. My wife used to say the same thing. Now I can't peel her iPhone out of her hands. Its her sole camera.

I have a case but only use it when I'm in an environment or event that I think I could be more prone to dropping it. Went to an all-day festival yesterday. Drinking. Lots of people. Lots of concrete. Definitely a day for the case. But when I'm at home or the office or just out shopping or running around, sans case. I like the nekkid X.

No case for me either. I've always ran my phones naked, I figure that's the way the phone was intended to look and to feel in the hand. Plus, the Moto X is probably the most beautiful phone I've ever used.

Six camera phones in my life and I've never had scratching on the lens (knock on wood).

I was planning on running without a case as I have for my last few phones, but the white woven back of mine started picking up stains pretty easy. Plus, I felt like the phone was almost too thin for me to hold comfortably since my last phone was quite a bit thicker. Running a super slim hard case phone that I got off Amazon for like $6. Fits perfectly.

So I'm still on the fence about going naked or using a case. My Diztronic case is thin but it still just feels better naked.

Anyone drop their phone without a case and suffer damage yet?

I plan on keeping this phone for a while so I don't want to crack the screen. I'm scared...

I used to run without a case - until I dropped my Bionic. I have a couple on order that I should get by tonight.

I run mine totally naked
I have seen some out a film over the camera to prevent scratching. Actually could not even notice it when you took photos.

Otterbox Defender here. I would run naked BUT I drive a truck for a living and a naked phone + concrete DO NOT MIX! I've always had a case for all my phones...mostly Otterbox. Another thing I can't stand being naked is when you pull out your phone to show other people, you're greeted with lint all over the darn thing...disgusting

I dropped my case less phone last week and cracked the screen. My replacement phone now has a Griffin Reveal case on it.

I just got the Moto a few hours ago. Got a case for it. Mainly, the reason was I went on the One Up program from Sprint, and the phone has to not have significant damage on it in order to be traded in.

I got an Otterbox commuter. It has paid it's off already twice. The first day I had it it flinged out of my hands while trying to figure out the camera twist which it fell on payvement. the other was at the playground on gravel.

my first camera phone was on a detacheble on on my Samsung N400. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uH6lqdjXJ38/SaJTscUC2rI/AAAAAAAAACs/xsH-XzSrMg0/s320/camra.jpg

Just a CruzerLite case which wont protect it against drops,just protection against cosmetic stuff.I also have screen protector.But I dont want a bulky case,I prefer carrying this phone in my pocket which was one reason I purchased it

While we all love the look of our device nekkid, I would personally advise against it. (Especially if you haven't purchased the extra insurance....which is another "must" IMO) Regardless of all the Gorilla Glass claims and YouTube drop tests, 9 out of 10 times, your phone WILL get damaged if dropped on anything other than a carpeted surface. Spend the 10-15 bucks on a TPU case and protect your investment. :thumbup:
If you're still dead set on going nekkid, get the insurance! It's well worth the extra 7-9 bucks a month.

Glad you finally got it! Hope you're pleased with it as much as I am!

So far, yes. Since I was running an AOSP ROM on my S3, that part wasn't too shocking. I have some habits I didn't realize I had, but, I am slowly breaking them.

ugh I hate clothed phones.. I look at everyone with those fancy iPhone's and think - " Somebody got paid Millions of dollars to design your phone, yet you throw a case that someone got paid thousands of dollars to design".

I love the fact that my phone was designed to look and feel the way it does. Putting a case on the phone Hampers that design and in turn hamper's everything about the phone when holding it. I've looked at some slim cases (like i've used on my iPhone 4/Nexus4) and none have any Moto Branding (i'd actually like the moto M tbh just to show I have a phone that nobody else wants, im weird that way) and it's missing the Indent that my finger has learned to rest in while holding the phone!
