Will anyone dare use the 6P without a case?

Re: Nexus 6P - No case (naked)

Okay. The past few days I've been off work and using it naked, I do use my Spigen Rugged Armor when I go to work.

Anyways, it's amazing since and now I'm thinking about selling my case all together.

My concern is, the Camera/Glass, is it Gorilla Glass 4?

Yes it is GG4. I never use cases, I find the added bulk annoying. I use the phone as intended, naked. I'm OCD about things, so I never drop it, and I'm always aware of where it is.

Thank goodness I use a case on my phone: I was getting in the car and had my phone in my jacket pocket. I closed the door and I heard the impact of the phone on the car door (smashed my phone on the short side against my hip and door). I was afraid to look at my phone. Eased up on the phone and no cracks and still works great, thank goodness....I believe in the caseeeeeee!

The feeling in the Hand is simply to amazing to use it with a case. I use only a pouch for Transport.

I had my Gold 6p for almost a week. To me it didn't really seen "that" slippery in my hand ,while not in a case.
But I got a TPU type Clear case mainly for any possible cosmetic damage( scratches) .It did improve the grip to of course.

My ear buds cord got snagged on something, yanking my 6P outta my pocket and flinging it onto the concrete garage floor. TPU cases are "lightweight", but having only that made all the difference in this case.

I prefer a minimal case. I'm thinking the oem Google case would suit my needs. To slippery without something on it.

No case here either. I don't like it that they add bulk as well. I have a TGSP as well as a dbrand titanium skin on the rear visor to prevent it from cracking and adding style as well. I only use phone sleeves. Been using sleeves since the original Nexus One since it also came with one. The sleeve I'm currently using is a leather Nexus sleeve from Amazon. I'm very careful of where i place my device and handling it.

Why don't you use a dbrand skin for the visor? They make them. Thats the main reason why i have a skin on the visor.

Re: Nexus 6P - No case (naked)

Coming off an all glass phone (Sony Z3v and the only phone that ever cracked on me) I am very careful with the 6p. My biggest concern is the camera visor.

Therefore, I have the Google carbon case. Nice, sturdy and comfy and luckily, it was only $18 when it was half off during Black Friday.

Why don't you use the dbrand camera visor skin? They make them and thats the main reason why i have one. Plus it protects the visor from scratches and cracks.

I just got my 6P today and man this phone is gorgeous! I love the design, got the Aluminum. Also got the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX (clear case so I can still see the back of the phone).

I've had Spigen cases on my phones since I first moved to Android with a Galaxy S3 and I've always loved them. Great protection with minimal bulk. And this one does provide great protection, but it's seriously wide, and since the 6P is already the first phablet I've had, it feels way too big on my hand.

I'm considering a skin, could be dbrand or maybe one of those Toast wood skins. It's a shame since I really love the design but I don't think I can go with the case much longer. And I don't want to leave it 100% naked either :/

I have the clear Halo case ordered for mine. This aluminum phone is as slippery as snot. I have to be careful when texting not to drop it, so in a case it goes! Beautiful phone though!!

Edit: Just checked my Amazon order. I don't have the Halo case ordered. I have the Ringke Fusion case ordered!

I never use cases and have been lucky in not dinging or cracking any phones (except when I dropped a 50 pound weight on a G3 at the gym, but no case or screen protector would have saved it).

This phone, however, is slippery enough to warrant a case. I got the Poetic Affinity series and love the feel.

Do you mind sharing which sleeve you got from Amazon? I'm looking for one and a they have several listed.
Thanks

How it is when taking the phone out? Hard to do or easily pops out?

 

[Almeuit]

To be honest I love my Google Case but the fact that I have to fight super hard with it to get it off sucks (I go into smokey pool halls for pool league and don't want it to stink). I wonder if this is how all cases are.

 

[GreatCanadian]

@DaMaDo - May I ask your opinion on the Poetic Affinity case? Does it add much bulk and/or protection? And how is the grip?

 

[mogelijk]

I've actually decided to try my phone without a case, for now. I'm enjoying it so far. I find my White 6P has enough grip and I mostly like how think it is with no case. Though how thin it is does give me a bit of anxiety, worrying what might happen if I accidentally drop it.

It's the Nexus 6p pouch/sleeve by Ceocase. You have your choice of 3 colors.

I have had a 6p since launch and I have gone without a case all but one day.

My 6P is only a couple of weeks old, but I haven't put a case on any of my phones...ever? I put a dbrand back on my Nexus 4, and that phone also had a bumper that I used for a grand total of about 2 weeks while traveling, but otherwise I don't like 'em.
