I’m using their MagEZ Case 5 in the “Moonlight” color on my 15 Pro Max and I LOVE it.
I would never go caseless for such a premium device. Its vulnerable to dents and scratches, even if you are lucky enough that your device never fell. Keeping it in jeans pocket with keys or coins can cause micro-scratches.
Been using mine caseless for sometime now and love it! Have AC+ so not too concerned.
I hate using my phone "naked". I do have AC+ so I guess I shouldn't care but I do because I like to look after things I buy. Yeah, part of it comes down to keeping it in good condition for when it comes time to sell/trade it but I am also wanting to keep it in good condition for myself.
First thing I do with any new phone is put a screen protector and case on. Screen protector is an absolute must because it WILL get scratched and I don't want to feel the scratches when using my phone. Also the coating WILL wear down from oils on your fingers.
I paid £1,500 for my phone and yes it has insurance but spending another £20 for 6 screen protectors and a case will pay for itself. For me it already has paid for itself. I am reasonably careful with my phone but I have dropped it or had it slip out my pocket. I dropped my phone and the screen protector did its job and cracked instead of the screen. Swapped out the protector in a couple minutes. AC+ is there to use I know but the best kind of insurance is one you don't need to make a claim. It "only" cost £25 to fix a broken front glass panel but then I need to actually send it away or waste my time going to the Apple Store.
My case is a Spigen Liquid Air. It feels good, not bulky, and it's minimalistic. I can't bring myself to not use a case. There is no benefit to NOT using one except getting to see the frame/back panel. I don't know about anyone else but I spend most of my time looking at the screen of my phone.

I am using 15PM since day one without case, so far having no scratch or dent at all
No way in hell will I go caseless. The MagSafe charger has put an imprint on my case, so it will probably do the same on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I have seen in the Apple Store many iPhone 15's having imprints from the MagSafe charger.
Also the silicon case gives excellent grip, making sure I never drop it.

Since day 1 with my 15PM its been on a MagSafe charger stand....You can see a circle when you take it off the charger but it wipes off. Nothing permanent.
This is the natural Ti color.
Me neither. And a phone with a case is usually a lot easier to handle than a bare phone. I get the appeal of going caseless, but I have to admit I'm not sitting there staring at the back side of my phone all too much. I'd rather just have the peace of mind of some protection from a case.
I've gone caseless with the 15 pro max for a month now. I've been meaning to purchase applecare, but haven't yet...I guess I like to live on the edge 
My blue titanium 15 Pro has been in and out of a case since I got it in February. The longest naked stretch was a week.
You simply cannot beat the look and feel of a naked iPhone, especially with the new brushed titanium frame and more rounded edges which feel great in hand! I found the sharper edges on the 14P/PM were uncomfortable holding for long periods.
It’s mainly out of the case at home and back into it when I leave the house and surrounded by concrete etc lol
Always have a screen protector on and I’ve found a case I love the look and feel of, which is the Ringke Fusion X.

I always buy a silicone case when I get a new phone but it only lasts 3 months as I hate how it feels when the oils from your hand build up on it. I then go case less.
My only issue with caseless is the micro scratches on the front of iPhone. Mainly caused by putting my keys in my pocket!

I always use a protective case with raised edges so that the screen hopefully don't crack when its landing face down. With or without insurance (apple care or 3rd party) doesn't matter, its a case of not having to be without my phone for a longer time and that some data can't be backed up and has to be transfered from the device. If its smashed its always a hassle getting data out.
Been rocking my 15 Pro Max caseless since launch. Only has a Spigen screen protector. The only temptation to put a case is when i'm watching a video and there's no kickstand 😭. The Spigen tough Armor Magsafe is calling me.
