I've been using mine without a case since Saturday and it's just fine. Not a single scratch or mark. And I haven't been babying it either. The only thing I do is make sure I don't drag it across a hard surface, like a table or counter.
 
Have a 32GB mini and it is still in pristine condition. No protection at all and I may keep it that way, but thinking of getting that beautiful red Smart Cover.

The red Smart Cover looks really orange in person. Switched to a dark grey.

Same here. I even carry it around in my handbag with keys & other stuff and no damage! Still, I'll be happier when my skins arrive to protect it a bit more.
 
No scratches at all on mine put a skin on last night and today I noticed that the glass on the iPad is separating. Going to need an exchange. 🙁
