Ditto, i was gonna go naked but then heard reports of easily scratched screen. I also use the Air Jacket because it makes the phone more grip-able...if that makes sense
Apple should done a matte back or teflon coated body

Do you use a case / screen protector?

I have an iPod and always try different cases, but I always end up taking them off (the minute I do, I usually end up dropping my iPod). I'm getting an iPhone soon, but I don't know if I should get a case or show off the phone's beauty.
The Apple police will be after me for saying this but I like the thickness of the iPhone better with a case.
Power Support Black Air Jacket and anti-glare film.

Least intrusive case I've come across - love it.
rock this set as well. Though the black air jacket seems to cause micro horizontal scratches on the left and right bezels where it comes in contact. Oh well.
I use a Belkin silicone case and some anti glare film on my 3G.
I prefer the grip on the case compared to the standard plastic back and the screen protector doesn't bother me at all.
To all of those that go naked, kudos to you!

Oh, you'd be surprised! Most of the designs they have are inclined towards the female clientele, but I had them do me a solid black sleeve, no problem!
Thus far I haven't put a case or screen protector on my 3GS for two reasons.
1) I think most cases are entirely too expensive for what they are made of. (though to be fair, I suppose some of the packaging they use on those things probably cost more than the case itself, hence the high prices)
B) It's a cell phone. If I have to worry about it's build quality out of the box, then why do I own one?
That being said, I understand why some choose cases and screen protectors. It's all a matter of personal preference.

its killing me,I wanna buy the incase slider but sooo many ppl are saying it scratches the back of ur iphone...is that true?? cuz I love that case and all the reviews on youtube say that its a good solid case...I'm soo confused man,can someone explain this to me...thxx
I had the incase slider on my first gen iphone and then my 3g. It is a solid case. I have seen my wife drop hers at least 15 times onto concrete and the phone is fine. Now I can confirm that it will scratch your bezel. Not very noticeable but it makes tiny little scratches all over it. I never noticed any scratches on the back though.
I buy a case, use it for a week or so, then stop. I just like having JUST the phone on me, no bulky case.
I use a Seidio Innocase II, but i just ripped off my anti glare. I want to enjoy my iPhone screen as it is. and if i do scratch it, and it bothers me a lot, i can get a screen shield, and i won't be able to see it anymore. I'm not all that worried
(However, if your looking for a thin, dockable case. you HAVE to get the Innocase. There's no competition, the Slider is crap when it comes to the Innocase (i have both))

wrong abt the the screen shield.
It will protect you from getting a scratch but won't hide the scratch in fact make even make the scratch more noticeable
kind of like a condom.
Nice.
My car has scratches on it. So what? Who cares. It's still a nice-looking car, fast, sporty, and awesome. Oh no, I got a scratch! Who cares!
With my phone though, I have a rubber case (Incase) on it to absorb shock if I accidentally drop it. I could care less about scratches. In fact, my phone has some scratches. I don't care. Who am I keeping it "perfect" for? No one. I laugh at those people that circle around parking lots for 15 minutes looking for a "nice" parking spot. Who cares if you get a little scratch??? The car still looks the brand and model of car you bought and it still gets you from 0-60 in 5.0 seconds! GET OVER IT !!!!!!
i scratched the middle of my 3G's screen last year, threw a screen shield on...couldn't see it.
i was using a case for a few weeks, until a piece of dirt got stuck INSIDE the case and scratched the metallic apple logo on the back of the phone- i figured whats the point if its gonna get scratched anyway. Plus i love the feel of the 3g naked- great ergonomics.
I do use an anti-glare screen protector.

Well, all over, but I was talking the screen. I had a case and no screen protection. Use it long enough I think it will get scratched. Sure, you could baby it, but you could also use a protector.
