haha I love this! My 15PM is already big, I don’t mine it being a little more bulky. I loved the hell out of my 2G, that thing changed my life for the better and I’ve only had iPhones since then.
If you’re like me and hate bulky cases even when they’re advertised to be slim, get this one.

I just got it in a few days ago and man, it’s sooo good and slim! 👍

Tried going ceaseless with my 12pm for a few weeks, knowing that I would be purchasing the 15. Within 1 week had a scratch on my screen. Back to cases :-(. Wish I could go nekkid but am to rough on my phones. Also switched back to using a screen protector now that I’ve learned my lesson.
Ringke Fusion-x case here on a 15 Pro.
And there needs to be a "Hell, yes." option for the poll.

I went caseless for awhile on 15 pro, but the problem is I realized just how slippery it is, which made it unpleasant to use with one hand. The backside is especially slippery, with its matte glass finish. Also had issues with the palm of my left hand hitting the screen while using keyboard and just holding normally, causing all sorts of issues with typing and accidental touches in apps (likely due to the very thin screen bezels this year).
Ended up getting a thin clear case yesterday. All those issues are gone and it seriously doesn’t even look like I have a case on it from over a foot away. It cost barely over $10. Also upsides are that it sits stable when putting down and without a clatter noise. My wireless and MagSafe stuff work normally despite it not being a MagSafe case.

Yes, it’ll work perfectly but the MagSafe accessories won’t stick very well to your phone. If you do plan to use a MagSafe battery pack, you could purchase a MagSafe ring, such as the ESR HaloLock, to stick onto your case manually.
I actually quite prefer the weaker hold so far.. the MagSafe items attached so hard to bare phone I had to literally pry them off with force. Now they detach much easier with one hand.
I was concerned my car mount might drop the phone with the weaker hold but I took the car out and went over plenty of bumps, it has held without issue.
It’s fine for a static MagSafe charger however the phone’s magnet is too weak with a case on to keep hold of the battery pack. I had a non-MagSafe charger case for 9 months and was exclusively MagSafe charging with no problems. I switched to a MagSafe case now that I occasionally use an Apple MagSafe battery pack.
It depends partly on the case material and thickness. The thicker ones will have more issues.
I am caseless 99% of the time. I just think these are such lovely devices I do not want to cover them up. I have done this for years on all of my phones, the last time I used a case full time was the 6 plus. I accept that I will get some battle scars along the way (and I have) but I prefer it. I also think that as a result I have become naturally more careful with my phone.
I do always buy a case but it only goes on if I am doing something more risky. This usually involves alcohol, going to watch football or both!

Whenever I used the battery pack, I pretty much had to leave the phone on the table or use it carefully otherwise it would slip off. I have a MagSafe compatible case now which allows me to place the phone with the battery pack attached into my pocket without it slipping off.
I’m interested in the MagSafe batteries but currently don’t really have a need for it.. and I figured the MagSafe cases would weigh a bit more, be a bit thicker, and I don’t like the look of it on clear cases. So I guess I’m fine for now, but good to know

Yes, strictly with microfibre inside. My 11 got badly scratched and marked by dust particles between the case and the phone, so with my 15 Pro I only use cases with soft inside edges.
You have to clean a silicone case once every 1-2 months to prevent lint buildup which could wear down the paint around the sides. I’ve been using them since 2016 and never had so much as a scratch on any of my iPhones.
My friend didn’t clean his phone and after 1.5 years within a silicone case, his 13 now has no paint along the sides, lol.
I did clean it every 2 weeks, but the bigger particles did the damage in no time
Aww. I think you’re just the victim of really bad luck then as it normally takes months for damage to be caused to your phone. I did have an Apple silicone case with felt inside when I used a 12 Mini. I hope something like that works for you and you don’t get anymore scratches. I’d hate to have scratches or paint chips as they can never be repaired.
