Where did you get the leather sleeve from? Can you post a picture when you get it?

Another forum member shared an Etsy link that I also used. You have several leather colors to chose from. I will post a picture when it arrives.

No case. No screen protector. Fully naked. I’ve dropped it already on hardwood by accident and routinely lay it both face down and face up on tables.
So far, no scratches or marks of any kind. It feels extremely durable.

I did put a screen protector on at first, but it completely ruined the aesthetic, made it look thicker, it completely cancelled out the anti glare coating & had tonnes of fingerprints and smudges.
It is now completely naked, looks & feels way better.
If I start seeing scratches & scuffs then I’ll consider putting one back on, maybe try and find an anti glare one.

I'm dithering back and forth about using a case.
Want to go case-less to enjoy the feel and design of this new phone.
Not so concerned about damage.
But the biggest factor is that the phone has a distinct wobble when placed on a table due to the back camera protrusion.
I'm currently using the Apple clear case.
It solves the wobble problem completely.
But it also covers up the design of the Air.
Anyone in a similar position?

You sit or lie on the phone would destroy it too. Playing phone right before sleep would let you lie on the phone for 8 hours.
My naked iPhone 13 Pro Max took a cat-induced tumble down concrete stairs and the only physical damage was a small chip on the back glass, which was notoriously weak. The iPhone Air is protected on the front with Ceramic Shield 2 and on the back by Ceramic Shield. It alsot has a Titanium frame and it's light. Taken together, a caseless iPhone Air should be all but impervious to physical damage unless you're super rough on it, unlike the new "pro" line.
Into day 5 with my naked Air and it’s still like new, no scratches, scuffs or any blemishes.
My wife has the iPhone Air and an Apple bumper for it. She dislikes the bumper because it is too smooth and does not have that “grippy” feel that her previous silicon cases had. We will need to find her a replacement.
I did debate it because I’m not clumsy and I don’t drop phones but the side rails will eventually get swirl marks up with daily use and taking in and out-of-pockets because they’re highly polished so I’ve put an Apple silicon case on it. It hardly adds to the bulk
