Does anyone use their iPad mini “naked” as in without a case? I do usually have mine in a case but take it out every now and again and it’s so slim and small it feels really good using without a case.

Does anyone use theirs “naked”? Perhaps keeping it in a sleeve would be the best of both worlds? If Apple brought out a leather sleeve like they have done for the new Pro’s it’d be awesome!

I carry mine naked in a backpack or use it at home. Dropped it between the seats in my car a few times where it hit the metal rails under the seats, but no damage. I don't like cases personally. I do use one on my iPhone 7 plus, but it is a super thin, translucent cover that is barely there. Thinnest you can get. They way I look at it is why buy the thinnest device available just to bulk it up with a case and make it thick again?

I have this pocket in my backpack. I'm going to give it a go if just keeping it there. Which iPhone 7 plus case are you using?

That is what I have in my backpack as well. For an iPhone case I am using the Tozo case.

Pretty cheap. I buy two at a time and replace them when they get worn. The covers are so thin that sometimes they begin to loose shape on the sides near the buttons.
