Who is still using their Galaxy S5 "naked" and why?

You can find pictures online of the blue cover but the pictures do not do it justice. (Videos do a somewhat better job.) It is a bright shiny electric blue in direct light, but darkens as the light is more indirect so the tone adjusts as you twist it back and forth in your hand. The blue works perfectly with the dimpling and texture of the back, and I would recommend it highly.

How does it look with that blue cover?

Good deal!
Can you please post a link to said videos and pics?

Ugh, another drop over concrete at work!
Nothing happened but I got the message.
I finally got more protection for my GS5.

I used to rock one of those but found it to be too much. That being said it's great for drop protection and on a construction site can't go wrong.

There's a bestbuy store less than 5 minutes from where I was working.
Amazon had the case cheaper than usual, so I went to bb to get it price matched.

Ordered myself a two in one item for my S5.

-Extended battery since I do a lot of text and online stuff
-Hard rubberized case for the future drop

That's great battery life, but the phone would be almost an inch thick!

I guess there are people that really do need that battery time.

I'm good with what I got, the only thing that bothers me is how thick my phone is with this Otterbox case.

I know is less compared to other heavy duty cases and the price was great, but I got used to have my phone on its clear "naked" case. It had protection and was almost as if there wasn't a case at all.

Anyway, in my line of work, I have to protect my device, simple as that.

Here some photos of my S5 that came with the blue back. I really like it and the photos don't do it justice. As already stated It has a nice prismatic effect when held at certain angles. The first photo is indoors under a daylight bulb and the second out doors in the usual overcast UK weather. It just seems a shame that I'll be putting it in a case shortly

I use a case when I'm at work at then go naked at the weekend. I don't trust myself enough to not drop it on my desk, or knock it into the floor from my desk to not use one at work.

I have a Spigen Slim Armour case for mine, in Dante Red. It does add a bit of chunk to the phone but I think it's less than most other cases. It also looks really nice and feels extremely solid.

Just picked up a slum armor myself and I like it.. I will say the case mate tough case does blow this out of the water for grip. Not for looks but it's the same size and feels great

Mine is forced to roll naked now because I have the special back for wireless charging. Sometimes I swap it out during the day for my old school blue, though, as I do miss it greatly.

I decided to use mine naked.

I hate having a case on my phone. Having a case on your phone is like wearing a condom. It is a lot safer but it takes away all of the feeling.

Well, I'm using my clear case again. My brother in-law liked my otterbox and gave me $40 for it.

Mine is still naked, but only for a week, I'm looking at cases that are out there. I had a silicone and the hard case by incipio for my S3 and I really liked it but I'm currently looking at
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=35145426#
I currently work in the fast food industry so I need something that can hold up, also I like bright cases (like pink) so I can find my phone for when I misplace it.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

STARGATE, Which otterbox did you have? I'm looking at some, they like their prices.
