Naked Droid X

I would like to visit this again even tho it's been on here before. What is the feeling about not using a cover of some kind in the DX? I know some of you have found favorite covers (cases) but I visited an Apple store today and while I like the feel of the iPhone, it is so much smaller than the DX and harder to see the screen. I just wondered if removing the cover would remove some of the extra bulk from my Droid. I'm concerned it might not be a safe thing to do. Any ideas?

I think it's a matter of how you personally use/treat your phones. Are you known for dropping phones in the past or getting them scratched a lot? I, for example, am the clumsiest person alive. I can't think of a phone I've had that I haven't dropped or fumbled atleast once.

I can't comment on the Droid X. However every time I take the cover off my Droid Eris, it feels smaller and lighter than what I am used to feeling while handling it. I have had a cover for the Eris since day one. The Aria that I have have for the next month feels even smaller than the Eris.

So I guess it doesn't matter the size of phone cover or not, it takes some adjustment time.

I don't use a cover or a case at all -- even though I bought one when I got the phone ----- just because I had used them with previous phones. The Gorilla Glass is super; not a scratch in 6 months and it cleans up really well. I've only had ike 2 very short drops in my car. No damage. I just stick it in my jeans/shorts pocket and try to remember ot have the screen facing my leg.

This is really a personal choice. For myself, I prefer the silicon case. It slips into the holder very easily, and comes out, when you need it, just as easily. Some people really like the Ottocase ( I think that's what it's called). And yes, I know someone who just likes to slip her Droid X into her purse without a case. Do I find that the silicon case makes it feel heavier. Truthfully, no. However, in all honesty, I do think that it makes it feel a bit bulkier.
