A screen protector and a case, even if it does take from the look of the phone, are absolutely the most important investments you can make for the phone. The number of times that the phone will be set down hard, accidentally dropped, put in a pocket in a hurry just to find out you also have your keys in there, all make it worth the minor investment. If your going to carry the phone in a lead lined protective box and never bring it out except in emergencies then I suppose a case and screen protector are not needed.
