Case vs No Case?

I carry my iphone in my pocket 99% of the time. I also have a screen protector on it. What's the opinion on cases here? Do you use one? Not use one? Why?

I love the looks of my iPhone without a case...but I'm anal about scratches and such and don't want to risk dropping it without a case, so I opted for a case that I absolutely love! I got a black leather 'Sena' case.....

I like to carry my phone on my hip and I've dropped a couple of my old phones enough times to know that I really need to use a case to protect my iPhone. I use that clear protective shield that Apple sells in their stores for the screen and the Agent 18 Eco for protecting the rest of the phone. Then I carry it in my old T-Mobile Wing phone case strapped to my hip.

No case here - just carry it in my pants pocket like all my cellphones. I have never used a case and never plan to use one.

I do, however, have a Timbuk2 pda holster that I will use with the iPhone (or any phone) when I do something like go to an amusement park, or other place where you add banging around to your experience for the day. But once home, goodbye case, hello pocket.

I have the Otterbox Defender in black. Love it! The minimalists here would call it bulkey, but I feel safer with it than without it...I'm pretty hard on my gear. Here's a link:

I got the Incase Protective Cover - in British Racing Green no less. It protects the case of the iPhone but provides nothing for the front, but I like it.

I go caseless. I either keep it in the front pocket of my pants (nothing else in the pocket) or the breast pocket of my blazer. Not a scratch on it and I was a day one buyer.

Naked.
Au natural as the designer intended...without a case.
It's like a work of art. Why cover it up?

I use the "Case Mate" leather case. It's a hard leather and the front flap folds down so you can use the phone while it's still in the case.

because if you drop it.....it breaks.

I have the invisibleShield screen protector which is amazing.. and I also have the Agent !8 Eco Shield which I really like. Not too bulky and protects the phone really well.
