Never realized how good the phone feels without a case

So today i took my beloved phone out of its case just for the sake of doing so and cleaning it and i just realized that it feels so amazing! I wish this phone was super durable that way i dont have to keep my ottorbox commuter case on it all the time. Part of me wants to even get another case just so i dont have as much bulk as i do with the commuter. Does anyone else felt this way? If so what kind of case are you currently using or is your phone naked?
 
I use a carbon fiber skin on mine to protect it from scratching. It won't protect it from a fall but I just hate the feeling of a case on my phones.
 
Completely naked for me, I just don't like the added bulk. Plus the phone was designed to be used as such and feels fantastic in the hand!
 
I've gone Storm 1 > Incredible 1 > GNex. All on launch day. Never a screen protector, never a scratch. I've used Seidio's spring clip holster. Since it hasn't been available for the GNex naked, I bought their thin case/holster combo. It sits unused. Their website has the naked holster in development and I'll buy that as soon as it is live.

I'm the same way. Can't abide a case. Used to use Seidio because it functions nicely as a case in the bag.

I use a leather pouch now for when the phone is in my bag, etc.
 
For what it's worth, I use a case all of the time with a screen protector. Problem is my screen still cracked. So either way the outcome was the same for me.
 
Mine is naked too. I bought a cheap imitation neoprene pouch from ebay. It is an imitation of the pouch that came with the Nexus One. I find that protects the screen from keys in my pockets etc when out. Also a bit of protection against falls. But then when I am indoors it sits naked! I hate cases but have to admit to living in fear of breaking it.
 
I like the generic Verizon case with the belt clip. The part of the case on the phone itself is very thin and makes it easier to grip the phone.
 
Carbon fiber and a shield is almost being naked. At least it will prevent scratches and nicks. Plus its not bulky like a case.

+1. This case doesn't protect the ends of the phone, though. Mine already has a scratch from where it fell off my lap to a concrete floor. It probably wouldn't have survived if I'd been standing.
 
LOLs. Completely agree with the OP. I use one of these cases: PDair. (I have dropped my phone way too many times to trust myself without one). So it's always surprises me how good the phone looks when I take it out to clean the screen.
