I am thinking of using my phone naked now, i really love the aluminium frame plus mine is soft gold so its a pretty classy feel
i have been investing on cases and tempered glasses a lot every time to find a worn out case after use of just 1 month or a cracked tempered glass after a significant drop

I drop my phone a lot not big drops but yeah significant ones rarely a big one, thats mostly dude to the charging wire getting hooked somewhere or trying to find my glasses in the dark only to find i swiped my phone off the table or the phone slipping off my hand.

What do you guys suggest?
I had once or twice had a significant drop when my phone was naked and surprising it hardly took a scratch on the frame, so i think the phone is sturdy enough but i obviously wont risk it.
Any suggestions/experiences of using phone naked?
Please hold off Cases or tempered glass suggestions rather than spamming because Here in India i get pretty cheaper alternative so i rather wear 10 cases than buy an expensive case because branded cases/glasses are comparatively pretty expensive than the local ones which are better value for money.
Still if someone has a good indian deal its fine

I have two pretty nice dents in the corners of mine... which led to me getting a case.
My preference would be to never use a case (what's the point of a super thin phone if you're going to put a case on it?).
But this phone it just too slippery.
I've never had a problem holding on to my previous phones; this one would slip out of my hand several times a week.
I'm sure the case has kept me from destroying the phone.

Don't use it without case m8! It's asking for problems, what you could do is get a dbrand skin and ofcourse a tempered glass protector but those do not really help with nasty drops!
