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.
