Is it necessary to use a case for iPhone 5? The back of iPhone 5 isn't scratch resistant?

I own a white iPhone 5 and just worried about the looks and the beauty of the phone. I just don't want to lose it. Is it necessary to use a case to protect the back of the iPhone? ( Actually I hate using cases personally, but if I need to use for retaining the beauty, I will use one.)

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.3

I carry mine in a Sena leather slip case. That way it is protected in my pocket, but I slide it out to use without any covering or case on it.


That has been my compromise since I too hate to use it with any kind of case or covering. I've been using Sena slip cases since the iPhone 3 and my used iPhones look very near like new even after up to two years of daily use (my iPhone is my only telephone).
