I either use a bumper, or go naked. I ordered a white frost Incase Snap for my 4S, but we'll see if I actually use it.
Got a tip for us?

I've never tried one but I like the looks of the crystal version of these in gunmetal.

For when I'm out in town for a night of fun and I don't feel like carrying anything besides my credit card and license.

I too am going to be getting my first IP... going from an android that is twice the thickness I'm really looking forward to the smaller form factor (in fact i went into an apple store for the first time yesterday just to ask if they would let me slide it into my pocket), so now i'm really wrestling with all this as well.
I know i'll be docking it on my clock, for which i've lost all the adapters so I assume it will fit with almost anything. I'm a little bit anal about scratches and I'm worried about rubber bumpers making it get stuck in my pocket, so I'm leaning right now towards a combination of screen protectors and some kind of thin, protective case that is somewhere between sticky rubber and plastic.
Besides that I think I will gamble on not breaking the front and dealing with a cracked rear by just purchasing a high-quality metal back, which gives me a 50% chance of having to deal with the larger fee or just more technical work of replacing the screen myself. Dropped my android plenty, though, and it's just as ugly as ever. AC+ might make sense to me in the future, but for now i'm a student.

I agree with you on the resale value, but a high end investment? Lets be honest here, an investment is something that benefits you in the future. Even if you sell your iPhone for more than you paid (very possible if you paid the subsidized price) your return is nothing I would classify as "high end". I totally agree that you should take care of your phone the best you can, but to call it a high end investment seems far fetched.
Go with an element case
http://www.elementcase.com/
Its a bumber style case but more sturdy. I wouldn't pay 100 bucks for one so I just got the knock off one on ebay, 20 bucks at most. I've dropped my 4 with it on and no damage whatsoever.

The other day I installed my ultimate protection Zagg shield... Turned out really odd. But I actually wouldn't even recommend the product, regardless of my applying skills.
Anyways, does anyone know if cases degrade the battery's overall lifespan? Like, when batteries are in a hot car, their life span goes down. If the phone's in a case, wouldn't that trap the heat? This is just a general hypothesis, I don't actually know anything scientific. lol
Ordered a Best Skins Ever (Used one on my iPad 2 and loved it) and a Incase Snap Clear. Will probably go with the Incase first and go from there.
Ordered a Sena Ultraslim white pouch for my white 4s. Had it shipped FedEx 2 day...naked otherwise
Me too. But in black. Where did you get yours? I scored one at Amazon for $29 with Prime 2 day shipping.

Has anyone ever used this brand before? They have them at my job for $7.99 so I'm just curious because I never used a case before for my iphone.

Get the white Graft Concepts case. It's beautiful. You can go with it as a "bumper" style or with the back plate for protection like in the pic below.
Not my image.
expensive but awesome, might get one.
I ordered a BSE body protection (no front) last night. I'm gonna try to go as near naked as possible, but I may spring for a white bumper, just to keep the lens from getting scratched when the phone is laying on a table.
