I'll use your thread to go on record, I hate cases of any kind! They add weight and don't look good. A friend of mine has an invisishield on her iP1, and it looks terrible! I've had my iPhone 4 now since launch day, with no screen protection, and I have a few, very small scratches in the coating, not the actual glass itself. Personally, I've never really cared about the back of my devices, but I did see a thread earlier where someone had added "feet" to the bottom of their iP2 to keep the back from touching any surface...exactly like on the MacBooks. I might try this, other than that, I will use a sleeve to prevent my iP2 from getting scratched in my bag, but naked out of the bag.
