My phone came in a nonstandard reserved color. I love the "rarity" of the color, the gem-like sheen, and the feel of it in my hand. I don't want to cover it up with a case. I'd rather go with a screen protector and a microfiber cloth to wipe it down. I do keep looking at cases, but so far I haven't found one I like well enough to cover up my pretty phone with.

Case or Naked?
- Thread starter ouch1976
- Start date
Running free is how I roll. I've never put a case on any of my phones. Just can't stand the look or feel of having a case on there. Even worse than a case is a screen protector. I don't know how people can stand those. What is the point of buying a phone with a beautiful display just to throw a bubbled mess on top of it 
That's why I always waste so much on screen protectors, even the slightest whiff of a bubble and I'll reapply another.
No "bubbled messes" for me.

Obviously Case with proactive sleeve will be better for the protection.

I am currently using an S View Cover on my S4 and it's good! Though, I still prefer it naked. Everything is better naked 
Not usually a case person, but had to pick one up as the Galaxy S4 is like trying to hold on to a bar of soap. Went w/ the Slim Armour case by Spigen.

I'll alternate between a case and no case.
Some phones look really good with no cases, but the feeling of a case makes a phone feel bulkier and bigger, and I like that

That's strange. Isn't bigger more tedious to bring around?
After I broke my G1 screen I became a case fanatic. Since then having found Ghost Armor screen protectors I've become a half and half kind of person. It all depends on what I''m wearing and where I'm going. If I'm going to work I'll case it. If I'm just out to relax or staying at home on the weekends I carry it naked.
Had a phone I kept naked once. Dropped it on cement and that was that. I case all my phones now.
I dislike the Otterbox cases. Too bulky and made of plastic. It's a real pain to get into the phone to swap batteries with that on.
TPU cases are my choice. I get multiple colors and designs to fit my mood. Haven't cracked a phone yet with it on... and I drop my phone several times a day.

Case and screen protector!
Case but no screen protector - my old Desire, with "nothing special" glass, was fine without one for 3 years so I don't feel the need.

the mobile companies are creating for us stylish beautiful devices, its a shame on us to cover these beautiful pieces with plastic covers. I prefer to use my mobile and enjoy its stylish look and grab even its more dangerous to scratch or break.
a scratched mobile is better thank mobile in a cover

I never used covers with my S2 but then i dropped it and got ****** up i had to sell it, now i got my S4 the black one i wanted to buy a cover but nothing looks good on it i should've got the white one.. anyways i think i'm gonna get the black genuine samsung cover it wont protect the sides of the phone but at least i'd still have the same back cover with a screen protection.. its the best choice for cover haters like me
After breaking the glass on my first Android phone, I decided NEVER AGAIN! So I now use Otterbox Defender cases and just love them. Unlike earlier cases I tried, these actually completely encase the phones. Their screen protectors really do protect the screens, unlike film-style protectors I had tried before. Those would protect against scratches, but really offered little protection against breaking the glass. Also, I don't use ALL of the components included with the Otterbox Defender, i.e., I almost never attach its final, outer layer which is a hard plastic shell with a belt clip/holster. When that's on, it's definitely bulky! But without it, it's not so bad.

No it can't. The tablet/phone will shut down before that happens.

I use a Nexus 10 for reading PDF documents, books, the Internet, and specialized content apps. I seldom use it for email or revising work documents. It has always been in a case.
For the Nexus 10 I have a:
1. Poetic KeyBook Case -- Removable Bluetooth Keyboard Case for Google Nexus 10 Black (With Auto Sleep/Wake Function)
The removable Poetic Keyboard comes in a book-like padded case that holds the tablet and keyboard. The keyboard and case fold up making a highly protected carrying case.
There is no additional screen protection film.
The case has a stand to prop up the tablet horizontally
