I have never used cases for my phones except for brief periods as an experiment 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.
-- Cheryl 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."
