I started out with a case for about a week. I took the case off and have been without one for 2+ months now. I just added the Zagg Glass screen protector (but it's not fitting perfectly around the edges, there are other posts about this).
I just got mine. Came with an s-view case that drove me insane so I took it off. Love the feel of the phone without a case but I don't trust myself, so I ordered the Spigen Capella.
I hate cases as well but, coming from a Moto X, the Note wasn't as comfortable to hold so I bought a slim Bear Motion case with a nice grippy sand finish. It doesn't do much to protect the phone, I don't think, but it feels very nice in hand.
Verus iron shield case feels like naked note 4..if you don't trust yourself with naked phone. Very premium tpu with aluminum bands on sides. Gets really cold outside. Feels great
I have a tech 21 case on and a glass screen protector that doesn't fit perfect but not as bad as the first one a tried but just hate having a case on a phone so nice I tell my self I wouldn't have a case if I had althea one+ or g3 or moto x 2014 lol but we know that's not true
I have the Otterbox Defender for the rough stuff but found a 0.3mm clear gel case on ebay for a couple bucks. It's as thin as can possibly be, and protects the chamfered edges. It's perfect.
I prefer no case, but I wore the coating off my last phone's screen and it became a smudge nightmare. I actually hate screen protectors more than cases, so I am got the S-view wireless charging case.
So far I love it. Very minimal, and I feel like it protects the screen really well. I am a big fan of wireless charging, so it worked out well.
I love the feel of the phone caseless but currently using a Spigen Tough Armor case. I take the case off at home but always have it cased when out and about. Can't risk dropping this beauty.
i started with the iblason case (similar to otterbox), but it really makes a big phone even a lot bigger. Rocked it without a case for about a month - no issues except i want to be able to put it down without worrying about the camera sticking out. So i also got a samsung shell case and i think its the perfect compromise
First of all the flip view covers view area is vulnerable to scratches, I scratched my Note 3's, then had Ghost Armor put on...they aren't in my locale any more so w/in 2 weeks I had 2 scratches on my Note 4's so went to the mall out of frustration.....they had a similar service, so I had them put a protective film on the outside of the viewing area......second issue is the flip view does stay closed if dropped, so that defeats the purpose....I got Spigen's magnetic attachment for the flip view case and it works great.....I LOVE the case I like the way it looks and works.
Otter Box - Commuter. No screen protection. Have never used screen protectors and never had a problem. And I've been rough with my phones. Didn't like the feel of the naked note 4.
