Neither, though I'm a big fan of Wirecutter and friendly with Brian Lam.Who paid for this "news article"? Switcheasy or Wirecutter?
I agree with going naked. Been doing it with my iPhone 4 for almost 2 years now. I agree with the idea that the great design should stand by itself.
That said, my camera is now totally scratched up because it is flush with the rest of the phone. I don't care about scratches on the back glass, but when all my photos are blurred because of scratches, I will seriously consider covering my next phone.
I've never used cases on my iPhones and I've never had a problem selling them when I upgrade.
Go naked or go home.
This.
I've had a case on all of my previous iPhones. The original because of its value, the 3G and 3Gs to prevent a broken screen (this was of course back when this was becoming a big issue, and for the record, the 3G broke anyway), the 4 and 4S to protect the glass back and for antennagate, but I've been going naked with my 5. I would prefer to have a case for protection, but the phone is so thin that I don't want to add any bulk to it at all, and imo, this is by far the most beautiful iPhone design yet. I want to show it off, at least for the time being.
A few nicks already around the edges, but no scratches on the back yet. I feel better knowing that I have AppleCare and can replace the phone for a small fee if I ever drop it and it sustains significant damage. Maybe I'll get a case when there are some more options I like, but for now I'm taking my chances and going naked!
Unlike all previous iPhones, the camera lens on the iPhone 5 is made of sapphire which is much more resistant to scratches.
Now, The Wirecutter has named it's pick for best iPhone 5 case.
The Wirecutter had this to say in it's extraordinarily detailed iPhone 5 case review:
The best case is the one Jonathan Ive designed.

Whoops, you're right. Embarassing. It's/Its is my biggest grammar fault.it's > its
it's > its
Why?You can find cases as good or better than all of these on ebay for a fraction of the cost. Also, anyone that uses screen protectors is an idiot.
