Always naked, had every single flagship since 2007.

Like others I have a designated pocket (Front right) for my iPhone and my iPhone only. I just sold my X last weekend and it was in mint condition and I got it day 1 when it launched in November and never had a case on it. People always tell me I'm "crazy" for not having a case on it but oh well.

I'll have a Apple leather case and really think about limiting the amount I buy this time around. I stopped using screen protectors when I got on IUP and never looked back.
 
I think all 'plus sized' versions of iphones look ridiculous and those with cases on look like pure comedy as the cases accentuate the size. I just can't take anyone with these slabs pressed against their faces seriously - the 80s first mobile phones spring to mind. Buy sell buy sell! :D

I definitely am planning on keeping it naked! getting the 256gb Gold and that gold finish is just beautiful! too gorgeous to hide with a bulky case. Getting Applecare with theft or stolen, just in case I drop and crack it. I currently carry my X naked as well and it feels really great. I can only imagine how much better the XS Max feels naked in the hands!

Have the X naked now, except when out drinking, then Apple leather case. Will take the Max out naked as well. Stainless steel & glass is so much stickier than aluminum!!

I’m thinking about it....I have the iPhone 7 Plus now and I don’t carry it naked because it’s too slippery. One thing that bothers me is the Max is heavier by about 20 grams. So putting a case will only make it heavier and I already think my 7 Plus is too heavy at times and makes my wrist tired. I’ll have to make a decision within the 2 week window if I’m going to keep it or get a X/Xs simply due to the weight.
 
From the perspective of the IUP and trading in the phone, the question for me is what does Apple consider acceptable condition.

I have to presume that not using a case and screen protector is the normal operating procedure so wear and tear is to be expected.

Anyone have any experience trading in in this regard?

I will put my gorgeous stunning 512 GB gold XsMax in a clear otterbox case to get all attention from people around me who will admire the attention getter gold.
