Anybody using the phone without a case ?

[raddy]

Hello Everybody

I have installed a transparent but not so slim case to my LG G6.

I wanted to know whether this phone be maintained in mint condition without case easily ?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi, I Didn't thought about not using a case, currently using voia slim case that came with the unit free that i bought with some local store here in the Philippines. I am not sure if i would use it without a case, it seems fragile to me

The class back necessitates done protection, using Spigen ultra hybrid slim case.

I use it without any protection ... The problem is the rear glass camera .. it's very very very easy to scratch poor quality

I don't use cases, I hate them. I frankly hate that today phones are presented without cases, companies present how they look nice without case etc. But they are made in a way that you have to use some ugly case anyway (camera bump, slippery back etc.) .
So I am using G6 without case (one of the few phones without camera bump and it is easy to hold) and so far it is ok, but I am afraid about the rear camera glasses of course...

I wasn't using a case, then as I took the phone out of my pocket it slipped and smashed on the floor. Got it repaired and now using a Spigen Thin Fit case on it (this one in fact https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Coated-Surface-Excellent-Compatible/dp/B01N6T3N9T )

I don't find it gets in the way at all, or adds too much weight to the phone, but as long as manufacturers keep insisting that "premium build" equals "making it out of fragile materials like glass" I'll will be using a case on all phones from now on.

Previously had a G4 and loved that the back was just a removable piece of plastic that would stand up to pretty much everything. I don't understand why phones have moved away from this kind of build over the last few years, and gone to slippy, delicate glass!

Oooh, some of those are very nice!

I do love the design of the phone, but it's way too slippery for me not to use a case. I went for a Snakehive leather flip case and tempered glass on the screen.

Dbrand skin on the back, and insurance I love the feel of the naked phone.

Thanks to everyone for your participation and thoughts.

I am also considering skins instead of cases, but the problem with the skin is it is getting dirt especially in the edges after some time and they are turning yellowish as well.

The cases are cheap at least what I am using, but skins neither cheap not easy to apply again and again.

The skin I tried previously was Invisible Shield.

My phone colour is blue, so. the case/skin options are again getting limited, only transparent cases/skins are looking good.

Let me know your thoughts.

I use it without a case and got a skin for the back and camera lens. Keeps it from getting scratched to hell. I have dinged up against something while it was in my pocket and chipped the top but other than that nothing major at all. It was my fault those pesky basketball shorts let the pockets swing to much

I don't use case and i can tell lens protection is really really bad.

I am currently caseless. Sometimes I put a case on my phone but after a while, when I take it out to clean out the dust, I remember how nice it was with no case and leave it out for a few months. I have a thin TPU one which is nice, and a real wood one which looks amazingly good even though it is kind of a brick.

I am not a big fan of skins (had a clear one on an old phone and after a while it yellowed and peeled), but I do like the idea of the real wood ones (not the dbrand ones which are vinyl even if they look like wood). Might try one of those when my wood case breaks (which I'm sure it will).

As for the camera glass scratches - look through the forums here; consensus is that the glass is not scratching but it has a soft coating that scratches. This coating can be polished off and then no more scratches. And it doesn't seem that a case is any protection from whatever (temperature? air pressure?) is causing a few mysterious camera glass shatterings.

Yip, a brilliant, really slim fit case.

i don't use a case on this phone yet. going for a skin whenever i get around to it with my list of things to buy. first time i went longer then a few days without a case. i went without a case since march. I use a holster on my pants or shorts. I am so careful with my phone so it doesn't get scratched or dinged up.

I was gonna go with a skin like Dbrand but I got this really thin case instead. Been extremely happy with it
