Re: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-05 Thread SSEric
I prefer the phone without a case, but as others have said I find it is a bit 
too slick. I would like something like a simple rubber band to go around the 
edges, but have cutouts for ports and buttons. Does anyone know if such a thing 
exists? I have not seen one, but it sounds like the bumpers might be a bit 
bulkier than IM looking for. I am just thinking of the size and thickness 
rubber band you might find holding bunches of produce together.

All thanks!

 Hello, everyone.

 The reasons for putting an iPhone in a protectivecase are very good
 ones, and I don't want to devalue them.  However, the iPhone without a
 case is certainly a more compact an sleek unit.  I'd be interested to
 hear from anyone who has chosen not to use a case.  What protective
 measures do you take with your phone?  For instance, do you put in a
 pocket or purse compartment that no other item occupies?  Do you try
 to avoid using it in crowded areas where the chances of its being
 dropped are increased?

 Thank you.

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-05 Thread Craig Werner
Thank you, everyone, for the thoughtful replies to my question.  I
never thought my post would elicit so many responses in such a short
time.

I asked for information about using iPhones without cases because my
case recently broke at its structurally weakest spot, and I thought
before replacing it I would consider the possibility of using my
iPhone in unprotected mode, so to speak.  Armed with your opinions and
suggestions about how to keep an iPhone safe without resorting to a
case, I went to my dealer today to look at cases but also quite
seriously thinking of not buying one.  I ended up with a new case
because I was entitled to one replacement case at no charge during the
life of my contract, an option I didn't know I could exercise.
Although I have a new case, I may take the iPhone out to see how I
like using it that way.  Even if I decide to keep it in its case, you
have provided a wealth of insights about working with an unclothed
iPhone which other users may find helpful down the road.  Yours is the
kind of advice that makes the VIPhone list so valuable.

RE: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-05 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Alex,

 

If you like the feel of the iPhone as is but you want a more grippy surface
you might want to consider the Invisishield protectors from Zagg. The
material they use is the same as what they put on helicopter windshields for
flying in desert conditions where sand can quickly dull the glass. They are
made from a self-healing material which has a very rubbery, grippy texture
and you can get just a screen protector or you can get them also for the
back and the sides of your phone.

 

Here in Canada they often have a booth at larger malls and they also offer
to put them on for a small free which is a good idea especially for us blind
folks. They use some sort of gel first and then the pieces of material have
to be applied very precicely. I think you are not supposed to use it for an
hour or so while it sets, then you can use it and while there might be some
tiny bubbles they work themselves out within a day or so and you'll notice
at the beginning it feels a bit soft, but then as the gel or whatever it is
they use cures it becomes very solid, almost like it's coated in this
rubbery material. 

 

I used to have them on my iPhone 4, only thing I didn't like was that the
glass now is not slippery any more for lack of a better word. I like it that
I can slide my finger around with very little resistance and that does
change a bit with the Invisishield. But any screen protector changes that a
bit and I guess if you were mainly concerned about having a good solid grip
you could just get them put on the back and the sides.

Sieghard

I looked into those when I first got my iPhone5. Most of the Amazon reviews 
seemed negative, and that was discouraging. Plus, I love the belt clip for my 
current case and would hate to lose that feature. I love the idea of the 
Invisible Shield, I'm just not sure how it would work for everyday use and 
shock protection. Plus, as you said, the screen needs to remain smooth for good 
Voi9ceover use, at least I think so. I guess I'd like to see a phone covered in 
this stuff and go from there.

I chose not to place my last smart phone in a case, and I didn't have my 
iPhone in a case for it's first two years. I've recently put a bumper 
around it, which is very minimalistic, and I did it as much to give it 
some grippability as I did to protect it. I also got the bumper as a 
gift, and I'm not sure if I would have gotten it for myself.


In the twelve or so years I've carried a smart phone, I've only dropped 
them a few times, and only once did I cause any cosmetic damage to the 
phone. I'm pretty good at keeping them in pockets or compartments  by 
themselves or only with objects that aren't going to damage them, like 
ear buds. I don't keep them in the same pocket with my keys, coins or 
pocket knife for example.


Smart phones are made to be pretty durable, and obviously, they're meant 
to be pretty thin and sleek. I just knew I took relatively good care of 
my phones, and I realized I was placing this very elegant device in a 
pretty cheap plastic or leather case. I just made the conscious decision 
that I paid a lot for this phone, and I wanted to enjoy it and not a $20 
case.


I'm not criticizing anyone who chooses to use a case for their phone. My 
wife is a very different person, and she views her phone as a tool, like 
a pen. She doesn't want to have to worry about it, and she wants to be 
able to just toss it into her purse or any pocket that's handy. For this 
reason, she has a Otter Box case for it.

Hi,

As a general rule, I have never put my iPhones in a case. I think they are so 
awesomely perfect as they are. I do not put anything in my left pocket but my 
phone.

That said, I bought the apple leather case with my iPhone 5s. I still prefer 
the phone without a case but as far as cases go, the apple case isn't bad.

Yes, I know I have just given a totally mixed message. I have found that as a 
person who is very careful with his technology, a case on an iPhone really 
isn't necessary.

just because I like the feel of them better without a case. I keep them in a 
pocket deep enough to assure they aren't going to fall out; I don't necessarily 
put them in a purse compartment with nothing else but I do put them where I can 
find them and where they aren't likely to accidentally fall out when I open my 
purse. I don't particularly worry about not using them in crowded areas, etc. 
but do make sure I am paying attention to holding on to them. I have had a 3GS, 
a 4S, and now have a 5 and a 5S. Over the years I've maybe had two drops with 
no adverse results. But this is a very individual thing; you shouldn't do this 
if you think you are prone to dropping and accidents in general and you do have 
to realize that there is always the possibility of an accident. I always have 
Apple Care for my phones as this is the most convenient for me though I believe 
there may be other methods of covering for accidents. I know that some would 
think it unthinkable and irresponsible to not have a case for a phone, but I'm 
happy with my decision and willing to accept the consequences if I do have an 
accident. At some times I haven't even had a screen protector though right now 
I have Speeddots screens on both phones. But if you are a person who feels 
insecure holding the phone or feels it is slippery in your hand or just has a 
dread that something may happen each time you pick up the phone, you should go 
ahead and get a case. I just love the feel of mine without a case. Oh yes, I 
also do make use of Apple earpods and Bose headphones often so I can opperate 
the phones without unnecessarily taking them out of a pocket or purse; I also 
use a bluetooth earpiece sometimes.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

Hi, 


As a general rule, I have never put my iPhones in a case. I think they are
so awesomely perfect as they are. I do not put anything in my left pocket
but my phone.

That said, I bought the apple leather case with my iPhone 5s. I still prefer
the phone without a case but as far as cases go, the apple case isn't bad.

Yes, I know I have just given a totally mixed message. I have found that as
a person who is very careful with his technology, a case on an iPhone really
isn't necessary.

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread John Diakogeorgiou
I don't use a case either. With the 4 I did because it felt more bulky
and cumbersome in my pocket. I had it in a belt clip. To me the 5 and
5s feel a lot more comfortable to just put in a pants or coat pocket.
I rarely drop the phone so am  not worried about damaging it. My wife
on the other hand has it in a case because the black phone is hard to
see and she drops and loses things to easily. This has nothing to do
with partial vision because she is totally sighted.

RE: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread BrianMiller
Good morning,

 

As for me, I just don't like the bulk of a case - a caseless iPhone V fits
just perfectly in my pocket, whereas with the case, it if very uncomfortable
for me.  So far so good in terms of no trauma or drama. I respect others who
are concerned about protecting what is a rather valuable asset.

RE: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Craig,

Here are my 2 Cents worth. I definitely don't like bulky cases. However, I
usually wear jeans and I don't like lose clothing so I don't find it very
comfortable having my phone in my jeans pocket. Furthermore I have this
notion that having it in my pocket where it basically is against my body and
where one side of the phone is constantly exposed to 90+ degrees heat must
not be so good.
I also often want access to my phone when I am walking along or even when
I'm at work and therefore I much prefer to have it on my belt. I don't
usually sit around at the same desk at work therefore just putting it on my
desk is not something I do that often because I know that if I'm in my
office upstairs and then I get up to go downstairs or to deal with a
customer in my store I just forget to pick up the phone.
The case I use on a day-to-day bases is a $6 case from www.Monoprice.com
which I posted about before. It's very minimalistic, the part that goes on
the phone is made from a hard plastic material and just covers the back and
sides. It snaps on securely and then you slide the entire unit into the belt
clip unit sort of like sliding a drawer into it's ressess except this slides
in with some friction to hold it in place. I can slide the phone in right
side up or upside down and, if I want, even with the screen towards my body.
I actually prefer it upside down because if I reach down to do something
that can be done very easily and comfortably.


Best regards,
Sieghard

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread Alex Hall
I have the same approach. Mine is a $25 case from Best Buy that covers the back 
and sides, and includes a belt clip. I can snap the phone in with the screen 
covered by the inside of the clip/holster, or facing outward so I can perform 
some actions while I'm moving around. No, this isn't a 
water/drop/shock/dust-proof case, but it isn't big and heavy either. My phone 
spends enough time in my pocket while I'm at home that light and slim still 
matter, so a Defender or other big case is not for me. Finally, the smaller 
case lets the phone sit on my dock, something that a large case would prevent.

 I'm at work and therefore I much prefer to have it on my belt. I don't
 usually sit around at the same desk at work therefore just putting it on my
 desk is not something I do that often because I know that if I'm in my
 office upstairs and then I get up to go downstairs or to deal with a
 customer in my store I just forget to pick up the phone.
 The case I use on a day-to-day bases is a $6 case from www.Monoprice.com
 which I posted about before. It's very minimalistic, the part that goes on
 the phone is made from a hard plastic material and just covers the back and
 sides. It snaps on securely and then you slide the entire unit into the belt
 clip unit sort of like sliding a drawer into it's ressess except this slides
 in with some friction to hold it in place. I can slide the phone in right
 side up or upside down and, if I want, even with the screen towards my body.
 I actually prefer it upside down because if I reach down to do something
 that can be done very easily and comfortably.

 Subject: Using an iPhone without a Case
 
 Hello, everyone.
 
 The reasons for putting an iPhone in a protectivecase are very good
 ones, and I don't want to devalue them.  However, the iPhone without a
 case is certainly a more compact an sleek unit.  I'd be interested to
 hear from anyone who has chosen not to use a case.  What protective
 measures do you take with your phone?  For instance, do you put in a
 pocket or purse compartment that no other item occupies?  Do you try
 to avoid using it in crowded areas where the chances of its being
 dropped are increased?
 
 Thank you.

RE: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread Paul and Paula Jordan
I have an IPhone 4S right now without a case.  However, when I feel the need
for a case I use an old victor reader stream case.  That allows me to clip
it on my belt or somewhere.  I like being able to do that when I'm going
around the house reading an NLS book. The phone fits reasonably well in the
stream case and is easy to get out if I want to remove it. .  I don't know
what I'm going to do yet when I get a 5S which will happen in the near
future.  
I do like the feel of the naked phone, but want a bit of protection for it
and a way to clip it on my person.
God bless!

Hi Craig,

Here are my 2 Cents worth. I definitely don't like bulky cases. However, I
usually wear jeans and I don't like lose clothing so I don't find it very
comfortable having my phone in my jeans pocket. Furthermore I have this
notion that having it in my pocket where it basically is against my body and
where one side of the phone is constantly exposed to 90+ degrees heat must
not be so good.
I also often want access to my phone when I am walking along or even when
I'm at work and therefore I much prefer to have it on my belt. I don't
usually sit around at the same desk at work therefore just putting it on my
desk is not something I do that often because I know that if I'm in my

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread Ricardo Walker
Hi,

I think it's pretty difficult to not have any minor scratches on an iPhone 5 , 
especially the black models.  The anodized aluminum just scratches easily.  For 
me, the main reason I put my phone in a case is to maintain its value.  I'm 
ultra careful with my phone but, for most, I don't think just being careful is 
good enough.  At least, not if they want their phone looking like it did when 
they first opened the box.

Hi Craig,
Although I like the idea of using an iPhone without a case, I'm one of those 
guys who crams everything but the kitchen sink into various pockets in my 
pants, shirts, jackets, et cetera.  More often than not I carry my phone in 
my left front pants pocket, which is also where I keep my keys, a nail 
clipper and my mini Swiss Army knife.  So I don't want my iPhone scratched 
by all the paraphernalia that I carry around with me. Consequently I keep it 
in an Otterbox case to protect it.  A colleague of mine used to carry her 
phone around without a case. Over time the back camera lens got seriously 
scratched, and since the camera is important to me for use with apps like 
Text Grabber, Camfind, et cetera, I further resolved to always keep my phone 
in a case. I don't mind the extra bulk of the case since I carry so much 
stuff around anyway.

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread Alex Hall
Cases also offer a better gripping surface. Perhaps it's just something to get 
used to, but I find myself constantly worrying about dropping an iPhone if it 
isn't in any case at all. The 4 and 4s aren't as bad since they are thicker, 
but the 5 and later always feel ready to slide out of my hand. A case gives me 
something more to grip. Again, it might just be a psychological thing, but 
there it is.

I'm not wearing a diaper, so don't try to change me.

Re: Using an iPhone without a Case

2014-02-04 Thread Chris H

Hi
I have dexterity issues so feel a case is necessary for me. I have a 4s 
and it's in a case all the time.


Regards Chris

Cases also offer a better gripping surface. Perhaps it's just something to get 
used to, but I find myself constantly worrying about dropping an iPhone if it 
isn't in any case at all. The 4 and 4s aren't as bad since they are thicker, 
but the 5 and later always feel ready to slide out of my hand. A case gives me 
something more to grip. Again, it might just be a psychological thing, but 
there it is.

Hi Craig,
Although I like the idea of using an iPhone without a case, I'm one of those 
guys who crams everything but the kitchen sink into various pockets in my 
pants, shirts, jackets, et cetera.  More often than not I carry my phone in my 
left front pants pocket, which is also where I keep my keys, a nail clipper and 
my mini Swiss Army knife.  So I don't want my iPhone scratched by all the 
paraphernalia that I carry around with me. Consequently I keep it in an 
Otterbox case to protect it.  A colleague of mine used to carry her phone 
around without a case. Over time the back camera lens got seriously scratched, 
and since the camera is important to me for use with apps like Text Grabber, 
Camfind, et cetera, I further resolved to always keep my phone in a case. I 
don't mind the extra bulk of the case since I carry so much stuff around anyway.

Subject: Using an iPhone without a Case



Hello, everyone.

The reasons for putting an iPhone in a protectivecase are very good
ones, and I don't want to devalue them.  However, the iPhone without a
case is certainly a more compact an sleek unit.  I'd be interested to
hear from anyone who has chosen not to use a case.  What protective
measures do you take with your phone?  For instance, do you put in a
pocket or purse compartment that no other item occupies?  Do you try
to avoid using it in crowded areas where the chances of its being
dropped are increased?

Thank you.

Craig
