For those of you rocking your Airs without cases or screen protectors, how are they holding up? Scratches, dings, dents, etc?
 
I use a MagSafe phone grip so I don't know if that counts as fully naked. It doesn't protect from drops but it prevents them. So far no drops, still pristine.
 
Mine looks great and have been using without a case or screen protector. One thing which does show up are little scratches on the titanium, probably from drops but these are very minor scratches. not scuffs or anything. the type which show up on stainless steel watches etc. i don't consider this to be a fault or anything, just the price of using without a case which is well worth it.

Great to hear of all the reports of its durability. That new ceramic shield glass really seems to be the real deal this year! So tempted to run mine without a case or screen protector but I have the black one and I'm so worried that dropping it will result in very noticeable scratches/finish loss.

and these should be able to be buffed out with a polishing cloth as well - assuming you own the cloud white version

Yeah - but I own the blue one! otherwise may have done that! But it's ok, it's the price of going caseless and feeling the design.
 
I've dropped it a few times (all indoors) because it's top heavy, and the screen protector did it's job. Still rockin without a case and not a blemish on it.
