Accessories Naked atrix?

Mine's naked. Dropped it many times, a couple times flat on this screen(no screen protector) from leaving the car and forgetting the phone was on my lap. screen is still nice like the first day I got it. only a few scuffs marks on the lower corner from dropping it and hitting the corner of the phone.

Do I regret not using a case? No, the phone looks super sleek/sexy without a hulky case around it. plus it feels much better with no case.

damn, I think I will cringe if I drop my phone, but usually with my, once I drop it and it suffers certain amount of scuffs, I tend to not care as much anymore, it is only the first time that happens where I will feel a bit upset haha

Yeah I have dropped it without a case on. No problem. I mostly use it with the Body Glove case because otherwise it is too slippery. I like to put it on my center console in my car. A tap of the brakes sends it screaming up under my brake pedal without the case. I wish someone would make a rubberized battery door to replace the factory one. That would also (hopefully) make it so it would fit in the charging dock without removing the case every time.

A man after my own heart. :) I too use a body glove case, more to prevent it slipping than anything else.

I have a case and screen protector. Without the screen protector, too much fingerprint res. I've dropped it a few times with the body glove case on and it does the job.

I like the look of the phone without it and am careful enough to not NEED a case but I like to preserve the phone since I tend to get a new phone every 8 months to a year and always sell the old one. If AT&T comes out with a good phone like the Atrix that will work on their LTE network later this year, I'll probably switch to that and sell my Atrix.

I just basically find the Atrix to be slippery feeling, and I'm not comfortable having no case around it.

+1 The Atrix is as slippery as a wet bar of soap! I am not a case fan but had to get a case for my Atrix. I got an Incipo and Rearth, both are very thin and not very noticable.

I just got mine yesterday, "like new" from eBay. It seems different than the ones at the at&t store, it has a RUBBER BACK COVER, not the hard surface (plastic) cover that I remember when trying it out at the store.

I'm kinda forced to be without a case, bought an Otterbox Defender and rubber cover on back is too bulky to fit. At least I put on a screen protector though.

I bought wimpy, clear case that only protects the back, really. The first time I dropped the phone it landed flat on the screen, shattering it iwth a "pop." Not a mark on the case...

The second time I dropped it I got a little divot on the bottom near the screen. Again, not a mark on the case...

So the case is great, I guess.... :(
