Hi All,
I decided to go case-less on my Priv. How many are using the Priv case-less and how does it hold up. Post your experiences and comments. Thanks.

I prefer the term 'naked', and I am naked as well as my priv.

I've got a tempered glass screen protector and I use black electrical tape (cut to fit, with one side folded back on itself for easy removal) as a lens protector. With these on, I'll go naked if where I am/going is all carpeted/non-concrete floor. Otherwise I have one of these on:

I went naked for over a month until I saw scratches on my camera ring, so I decided to go for the flip case, but it got annoying trying to use my phone one - handed. After a month of using the case sparingly, I completed stopped using it and was naked for good for 2 weeks until I opted for the incipio case. It shipped last monday and haven't regretted putting it on!

Excellent. Not many case options, tbh.

How does the rear camera lens cover hold? Is it scratch resistant? Thanks.

[freedomx20a]

Got tempered glass on front and thin case on back.

Nope. It's plastic. But it's recessed and protected.

I have to add that blackberry phones allways hold up very well over the years without a case. I feel they are the only phones that I feel that I don't have to rush out and get a case the build quality is so strong blackberry are well known for there build quality. If you handle it well and careful enough it will still look good in years to come as that's how blackberry phones hold up they can withstand a lot that's why I don't use a case on this brand of phone.

mine is neked. cant even put on a screen protector. lol

I have went naked for the first month or so and dropped it several times. The Priv is a beast and will likely hold up as well as most of BlackBerry's phones have. After dropping from about 4 feet to the driveway and getting a couple of scratches and a click I got the hardshell case. I wish there were something like a silicone case that would work and could be easily removed or used together with other "layers" such as the trident cases. Maybe I'll get a 3D printer and do it myself!

Enjoying the Priv

Lol its not plastic, it's glass, just not tempered glass so it scratches easy. If it were plastic it would scratch with a fingernail

I went names for a long time, but the creaking annoys me, so I had to get a case.

Naked since launch day. I put a few light scratches on the back but they disappeared. It's got a nice ding on the corner from a drop but is holding up very well.

Mines mostly naked but I use the flip case occasionally. I would use it more but enclosing the back of the Priv means it gets hotter than if naked. Hoping Marshmallow solves that issue.

I like the feel of the phone in my hand and I Love to show off the BlackBerry logo on the back.

It's plastic. It flexes when I apply pressure. Glass doesn't usually flex.

No case here

I ran without a case for about a month but the material the outer shell is made from is soft. It's not prone to cracks or anything like that, but it will scratch if you're not careful. Just from putting my phone in the cupholder area of my car left some deepish marks on the bottom of my phone under the speakers.

I have the flip case now but it can be slightly annoying to one hand the phone and/or take pics. I've ordered a tempered glass screen protector and a thin back case and will run those two together for a while and see how I fare.

Went without the flip case initially . IMO the rear cam which is protruding needs protection from scratches . Last month I purchased the flip case .

I am switching between naked and the flip case. Cannot decide.

Flip case is nice and I like the open to wake feature but it is hard to see the LED if the phone is at the wrong angle and as others have said one handed use is hard with the case.
