cases are pretty unnecessary. The iphone screen is pretty much unscratchable unless your rubbing sand or diamonds all over it. Glass is TOUGH. And as for the rest of the phone if you dont drop it directly on its screen it will be fine. I've dropped mine around 3-4 times and it just gives it a little minor scuff. Small price to pay. the iphone is big and bulky enough, a big case is just an annoyance.
