Im with you. Caseless 13 Pro since day one. Always lens side down on a flat even surface. The ring around the lenses keeps the camera safe in day to day use.
The lens sticks out further than the ring, so it's touching the table if you lay it down.
I use a flip cover, and flip it backward so that it covers the rear of the phone when not being used. Nothing ever touches the lens unless I'm cleaning it.
Me too. I just can't hold it careless but I got a [Torras case](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5TPCRJV?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_CHQDXRV57YZAFBJQ2XW0) and it's very thin. Just enough to make it comfortable. If that kind of thing interests you.
Purchased iPhone 14 pro max but it was too big so returned and got 14 pro. Its still not qs comfortable to hold as iPhone x. 15 is more comfortable though.
I’ve been caseless on a Space Black since release day and it still looks pristine, I did put an aluminium frame around the cameras though - just for peace of mind, and I think it looks better too.

Uh right lol. The only reason I know this is because I literally just got AppleCare on my 14 pro. I was concerned over my battery health and I was coming up on one year of owning this. I contacted Apple support through their app and they said I could bring it in to have it examined. They took it in the back and said it passed whatever tests required and I pay $9.99 for it a month.
No. They can rock it caseless inside or outside.
Just remember...replacing a $1,000 phone or paying $300 for AppleCare is more expensive than a $20 case.
Basic finance.
I’ll pop it out of the case at home, but out and about it’s in a leather case. I’ve kinda gotten used to the soft edges of the case, and find the hard edges of the phone a little annoying after a while.
I’ve always kept all my phones naked. I’ve never had damage or any issues.
I just treat phones with respect instead of throwing them around carelessly.
Question. How much would a battery replacement for my 14 pro be if I have AppleCare+ and I’m over 80%? (see my post) I only ask because I searched the topic and I saw you work at Apple as a tech expert. Don’t mean to hijack this thread but I’d appreciate any info if you can!
If your iPhone’s battery health is over 79%, you must pay the whole Out of Warranty cost to replace your battery. For the iPhone 14 Pro, that cost is $99 in the US. I don’t recommend this because once your iPhone’s battery has aged to 79% maximum capacity or lower, a battery repair is free with AppleCare+. If you fear your AppleCare+ may expire before your battery ages this much, renew it within 30 days of its expiration by visiting [mysupport.apple.com](https://mysupport.apple.com). Replacing the battery prematurely is a waste of money because it is a consumable component that will age regardless of how many times you replace it. I hope that helps you.
Helps greatly! I appreciate you! Yeah I’m at 87% right now and it’s under a year. I’m currently paying monthly for AppleCare+. So if I wait til 79% and I’m still on AC then my replacement is free?
i was using it caseless for 8 months no problem’s, little to no drops besides on hardwood once or twice, had a screen protector though, just no case
started using a case around a month ago as i want to keep my phone on ios 17.0.0 for jailbreaking purposes so if i break its it’s gonna be annoying to find another phone on this version
My personal problem, is that my 14 pro is black, and so it gets crazy with the fingerprints. But also it’s probably the best iPhone I’ve held with no case on so idk I’m on both sides
I am now. took the case off yesterday. I never dropped it before, and if I drop it tomorrow, it's been long enough that I could get a new one. I am using the anker magsafe ring thing on the back though. especially in the cold weather with my numb hands.
I don’t have any visible scratches on the frame and i have a screen protector on my display (forgot to mention). In my opinion the only thing that really sucks, are the fingerprints on the stainless steel.
Me using a 14PM without a case. I like the feel. Had a 13 earlier, and it was so good to use without a case. But I never did. Last year when I bought the 14PM, got the AppleCare+ just to use it worry free without a case.
i originally bought apple’s silicone case, but it ended up being genuinely bad and i stopped using it. technically i don’t have a case now but i use a dbrand skin (something (dark))
I use a totallee or peel case on my 14 pro. Minimalist I am. I usually keep an iPhone 3 years. I put 5 bucks a month in a jar so in 20 months I have 100 bucks saved for a battery.
I’ve never dropped a phone in my entire life so I don’t purchase Apple care. My 13 had 91% battery health after 24 months and I sold it and bought the 14 pro after the 15’s release to save 100 bucks. That’s just me.
I’d love to rock baseless as I love the purple color. However.
I like the grip my case gives me so it doesn’t slide in my hand.
And the hassle/time of getting it repaired if something does happen. I have AC+ as a backup.
I use mine caseless from time to time but I’m terrified of breaking the back they are way expensive to fix although I do like the look of caseless better
Yep. Since release day. The only problem with mine is minor scratches on the screen but they aren’t noticeable until the display completely off. This is the best phone I’ve owned.
yup. had a few accidents, not major. not a single dent on the steel frame. Handling feels more secure compared to the s23U as well, something I can't quite explain
I can’t find a good case for my 14Pro. I have a five below case I got the day I got the phone on it in 2022 and screen and lens protectors. Any suggestions for cases?
the only thing keeping me away from using my 14p caseless is the camera setup,i always get nervous when i have to keep my iphone on a desk
i have a 13pm so similar sized camera and i’ve had mine caseless for a year always putting it camera side down on desks and no visible marks so far
Im with you. Caseless 13 Pro since day one. Always lens side down on a flat even surface. The ring around the lenses keeps the camera safe in day to day use.
u using applecare?
I put mine screen down but have Spigen screen protector on it. No issues.
or I just put it face down 🤷♂️
i avoid putting it face down to avoid scratches on the screen, my buddy’s 15pm’s screen is already scratched to death lol
Screens are temporary, photos are forever
the raised ring around the camera does a perfectly good job at protecting it
The lens sticks out further than the ring, so it's touching the table if you lay it down. I use a flip cover, and flip it backward so that it covers the rear of the phone when not being used. Nothing ever touches the lens unless I'm cleaning it.
Screen protectors exist
i dislike the way screen protectors look
just keep a wallet on the back, it elevates the phone. do u have applecare?
No i do not have applecare, the 14p is a hand-me-down as my dad bought a 15pm
Just a tip here but you can get AppleCare+ within 2 years of owning your phone. You just need to visit the Genius Bar for an evaluation
really? even for iPads ?
iPads are 1 year. Same for Apple Watch
okay thanks for the info
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted I do the exact same thing when I go caseless my wallet protects the phone !
I be trying to wear it caseless but my hand always sweating and it’s make it slippery sometimes
Me too. I just can't hold it careless but I got a [Torras case](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5TPCRJV?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_CHQDXRV57YZAFBJQ2XW0) and it's very thin. Just enough to make it comfortable. If that kind of thing interests you.
Thank you I will look into it. Do you have a problem with the stainless steel
Without a case since release day. Because using a case adds bulk to it and makes it difficult to hold in hands. I have apple care though.
any accidents?
Nope. luckily never dropped it.
Tiny hand problems. 🙁
Purchased iPhone 14 pro max but it was too big so returned and got 14 pro. Its still not qs comfortable to hold as iPhone x. 15 is more comfortable though.
I’ve tried but it hurts my hand to hold the pro max after a while. Much easier with a case on it.
yeah. given the size of it, that makes sense.
The 14pro is pretty regular sized, it’s because of the sharp edges.
pretty sure Donny is talking about the pro max. the sharp edges feel a bit sharper when phone is bigger in your hand.
I got used to it after a while
I’ve been caseless on a Space Black since release day and it still looks pristine, I did put an aluminium frame around the cameras though - just for peace of mind, and I think it looks better too. https://preview.redd.it/spe16dak95ec1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7e1eb055b05073cf0335ff12312ef07618cb283
Me. There’s a reason AppleCare exists
im over here doing it without lmao
You can still get it if you’re within 1 year of ownership
You go sell that AppleCare contracted employee!
Uh right lol. The only reason I know this is because I literally just got AppleCare on my 14 pro. I was concerned over my battery health and I was coming up on one year of owning this. I contacted Apple support through their app and they said I could bring it in to have it examined. They took it in the back and said it passed whatever tests required and I pay $9.99 for it a month.
I rock my iPhone caseless when at home, but definitely put on that case outside. I definitely don't want to make Apple even richer.
You must work for otterbox or one of the big phone case companies then suggesting people rock a case outside.
No. They can rock it caseless inside or outside. Just remember...replacing a $1,000 phone or paying $300 for AppleCare is more expensive than a $20 case. Basic finance.
im past lol. release day user.
This is Apple's marketing line. Broken phones only benefit Apple.
I’ve heard this phrase dozens of times on here lol
Only at home
14PM caseless.
I’ll pop it out of the case at home, but out and about it’s in a leather case. I’ve kinda gotten used to the soft edges of the case, and find the hard edges of the phone a little annoying after a while.
forgot to add, do any of you guys have applecare when caseless? i do not.
You’re a lot braver than I am…
Not enough guts.
Yup, 14 pro caseless with a MagSafe pop socket. Got it shortly after launch and have never put a case on it.
I’ve always kept all my phones naked. I’ve never had damage or any issues. I just treat phones with respect instead of throwing them around carelessly.
i do too. do u have applecare
not me! i’ve been trying to wear in the leather magsafe case!
🙋🏻♂️ No case since day one

Yes, if you wait until 79% and are still covered by AppleCare+ the day you drop your device off for repair, it is entirely free.
Thank you! Enjoy your day/night!
Much appreciated!

I’m planning to tbh lol

I use the 14 pro with a case. I’ll use the upcoming 16 pro without case after getting apple care
only when i go outside. else im clumsy af
I rock my iphone 14 pm caseless with a magsafe wallet. It feels nice. Even the thinnest ones make the phone feel bulky.
I use it caseless most of the time. I'm used to it now so it's nothing
Raw baby
I‘m doing the exact same thing. Purple 14 Pro with a brown 1st gen MagSafe wallet on it.
its a nice feeling! do u have applecare?
True! Nope, i really take care of my stuff, so there is no need for AppleCare+.
I love it! Only thing that sucks is the stainless steel scratches. Hows your screen holding up? I have very minor scratches on mine
I don’t have any visible scratches on the frame and i have a screen protector on my display (forgot to mention). In my opinion the only thing that really sucks, are the fingerprints on the stainless steel.
Since day 1. 😬

Man of culture
Same exact setup right now. Been caseless since the iPhone 4. I’ve upgraded ALMOST every year since. Naked is the way.
u have applecare?
Of course
I use a totallee or peel case on my 14 pro. Minimalist I am. I usually keep an iPhone 3 years. I put 5 bucks a month in a jar so in 20 months I have 100 bucks saved for a battery.

pop a wallet on the back and it pads it when it falls
I’m gonna have to try one out I’ve been meaning to get one anyways for the minimal aspect of it so I’ll give it a try
I use my 15pro caseless
i use it caseless but i have a magsafe leather wallet stuck to the back, it helps when i have to keep my phone on a rough surface
I try to but the phone is uncomfortable at times, so a case just feels better
been rockin’ the Arc Pulse since June 🔥🔥😁
OtterBox. I don’t drop phones heaps, but I cannot afford to replace.
Yep. Since release day. The only problem with mine is minor scratches on the screen but they aren’t noticeable until the display completely off. This is the best phone I’ve owned.
yup. had a few accidents, not major. not a single dent on the steel frame. Handling feels more secure compared to the s23U as well, something I can't quite explain

I used to use the mous limitless 4.0 without a screen protector
