iPhone cases necessary?

I have been threw a lot of cases for my iphone. Right now I have the incase slider, yes it does scratch the chrome some what. I also have the otterbox case and that I feel is the best case if you are looking for protection. You can check it out at www.otterbox.com I like the incase slider because it fits in my pocket really well and it feels like there isn't a case on it.

i've had my iPhone since june and had 1 case which i used for 2 days...i personally think it's stupid to cover up such a beautiful piece of machinery. So in the past 10 months i've dropped my phone a bunch of times and there's 1 tiny bump on the top, it's no biggie. also there are a few scratches no big ones. the only thing i have bought to protect it is the clear film cover. Not 1 scratch on the screen! so unless your wicked anal about tiny scratches or a little bump dont get a case for it, just a screen protector...the cases are completely unnecessary

IMHO these are the best of each kind..... It is awesome without a case, but I think after the first drop you will regret not protecting your baby 🙂

You have to kinda pull on it the first time. Now I can get mine off kinda easy, it still stays on though.

I think I have one of every style case -- spent way too much looking for that right one -- and in my opinion, none compares to the Otterbox Defender. It is so totally protected that nothing can get to the phone. I have dropped it several times and it still looks brand new. And there is nothing that can compare to Otterbox customer service. Those people are absolutely the greatest!

I totally agree with you pwolz...the protection is just unbeatable. I actually got mine from another store (Semsons & Co. Inc.) because they had it for $10 cheaper AND it was free shipping (check out their blog for coupon codes: http://semsons.blogspot.com - scroll down a little). Nothing beats free shipping...I ended up saving a lot of money! (I'm a starving college student looking for change on the street)
