Bought my 4S on launch day and started off with a case. I didn't enjoy the feel of the phone with a case so I bought Applecare +, a screen protector and am very happy I did so.
 
Nope, because it still has 2 sides of glass that are prone to shattering when dropped. And the reason I used a case on my iPhone 4 was not the antennagate, it was because when you put it down, the camera lens is on the same level as the back, and became scratched to hell.

I have a screen protector and a case on my phone at all times. Only time I'll go naked is sometimes when I'm at home and there are no hard surfaces around that I can drop and damage it on.
 
Now that its available on more carriers, I definitely see MORE iphones in general, and only some are naked. I like mine naked because its just so damn pretty.
 
There are quite a few that are caseless. But it is up to them to decide whether they should protect the phone or not, it is their phone and not mine.

There are quite of people that I know that uses the case, even 6 months ago or a year ago, they still use the case. For me it is better to be safe then being sorry.

I do use my case, and have yet to drop mine. I am using the aluminum bumper case by Element case, Vapor COMP, White edition, and it came with the zipper case. So my phone is always in the zipper case when not in use.
 
I have the Steinheil front and back protectors on my phone. No bumper. No case. Nothing. I don't see the point to be perfectly honest. For one, it's a phone not a Faberge Egg. It can actually take some bumps. For two, I don't throw it around like it's a rock or a set of keys. I treat it like a fairly pricey bit of electronics that I paid for. Plus beyond everything else, I bought the iPhone4 because I like the design of it. Why would I want to destroy that by putting some ugly case on it?
