i just got my protective shields on front to back looks really good, however i was skeptical to add it on the front screen because the screen is so beautiful but knowing it's safe it's worth it.
 
what are you going to do when you start wearing expensive clothes and jewelry/watches in public? are you going to put trash bags over yourself for protection?
 
I put an invisible shield on the back and nothing on the front. The IS keeps the back from getting scratched, and the phone still looks as good as ever. I kept it off the front because I like the feel of the glass when using the phone. The IS feel rubbery. My last phone was the 3G and I had it for 3 years and did not scratch the front, so I'm sure I'll be safe with this one.
 
thanks, im definitely getting a bumper after reading about the back surface. not a problem, but this new iPhone seems to be quite an adjustment from all other phones regarding care
 
Thankfully a guy from BuyMeAniPhone was going around early in the morning handing out t-shirts, cases, and magazines. (FREE) So I had a nice case a few hours before I actually got my phone in hand. And it's really a very nice case. Screen protector and screen wipe came with it. Saved me about 50 bucks.
 
It's a phone, it's meant to get used. I refuse to use a case on this one, it's too beautiful to cover it up.

I see you're not looking to re-sale in a year...

For me, I'm taking no chances. Accidents do happen, but still..

Case and screen protector for life... I'd put a spell on it if I could
 
vaja case always on every iPhone dropped each phone more than once still have all three previous iphones all in pristine condition
