Default Who uses a case?

I was just wondering if most people used a case or not to protect their iPhone. I use one, but I feel it "hides" the sleek look of the iPhone, and I'm considering "going naked" so I can enjoy how great it looks. Of course then I worry about dropping it. What do you do?

Default Been naked for 6 months

I've been naked for 6 months of usage. The iphone fits nice and sleek in my front pocket, and that's been great. The problem is the edges of the phone are real slippery, and I feel like I've been getting lucky without dropping it. I tried skinny egrips just on the vertical edges, but the phone's curve caused the egrips not to stay flat, and they peeled away quickly.

So I've ordered a case that wraps around the perimeter of the phone, and I hope it's slim enough. It's very thin, and I think you can either put the case just around the perimeter or on both the perimeter and back. It's called the slim fit case by Cozip. Reviews seem decent, we'll see.

I used to use a case but all of them take away from the nice look of the iPhone (even the clear cases, I have 2 clear 1's so I know).

This doesn't take into account the cases that you do not put on the iPhone, but rather that you put the iPhone IN - like a holster or belt case.

I went naked for a LONG time. I got the Agent18 and I've been happy. I keep it in my pocket, with nothing else in my pocket.

I use the sena flip down case, use to use one that flipped up but didn't like the way the cover would flap into your head. The flip down one seems to help the sound...or atleast that's what I think anyway.

I went without a case for a very long time but it always felt like I was holding a bar of soap. I had a few minor drops and when the phone was replaced I put the new one in a black incase. No longer sleek and stylish but it looks very cool all black and is just about indestructible. Only problems are that it is hard to get out of my pocket and it can still get scratched if something gets inside the case.
