A friend of mine just bought a padded envelope from the local dollar store as his "case" when transporting it and goes case-free when using it. I'm tempted because of how expensive cases are and wondering if others do it without incident.
I've used my iPad (1. gen) caseless for 2 years, ditto with the 3. gen iPad I've had since release. Both had a normal flip cover on, though.
Picked up an Air a few weeks ago, caseless too. None of the two older iPads have gotten as much as a scratch.
Did you travel with your iPads?

I use an Air without a case. A few weeks ago I was making the bed, and I pulled on the comforter, sending the Air flying through the air. It landed on a corner and cracked the glass.
Oh well. I purchased AppleCare+ and later that day had a new iPad Air for $49.
Now, I do have a Smart Cover, and a Vaja sleeve (back from when Vaja still made non-gaudy products). I do carry the Air in the sleeve when traveling, and put the Smart Cover on when I charge the Air, or it's not in use.
But otherwise, I use the Air as God intended: naked. It's too beautiful a device to entomb it in garish plastic, or even worse, a ridiculous BookBook.
The thing that does drive me nutty though are the chamfered edges . . . They get dinged much too easily, and because of this alone I am sympathetic with someone putting a case on their iPad. I still won't use a case, but I understand why.
