I understand the "naked" phone feeling and I agree they do feel great in hand, but it seems like phones are getting bigger while pockets are getting smaller and tighter, so for me, personally, it's a big chore taking it out of my pocket with 2 fingers and being careful not to drop it or it to slip out.

There are also people who deliberately not use cases and act surprised their phone cracks when they drop it. 

It's a subjective thing I guess...
