If the (hopefully unveiled at WWDC) new iPhone comes with a Matte back, will you still get a case for it?

I will becasue I am like a bull in a china shop and tend to drop things regardless how careful I am.
 
you need another option - no, regardless of what the new case is like.

Personally, I'll put an invisible shield on mine, same as I did with my 2G iphone. It's worked wonderfully for 2 years, and I don't see the need for a case.

I knew I would forget one option!!! I wish I could add the option after the fact, Arn are you listening?

Sorry everyone for a flawed poll.
 
Add me to the list of people who won't be putting a case on any new phone. I never have in the past, and I doubt I ever will. To me, the iPhone is already big enough. I have no desire to make it bigger in any way. Quite the contrary.

^ Agreed again.

No case is getting anywhere near my iPhone. Now, or if it is updated. Deal with a few scratches and get it insured :D

Looks far better naked.
 
I'll almost certainly get a case for it. I don't want dents in it in the event of a drop.
 
if its not slippery then i'll probably go caseless. I bought a rubber case for my first gen iphone, but I would take it off because it would attract tons of lint in my work pants. One day the slick aluminum back fell out of my hand and into some chilly mac, so i've kept the case on ever since.
 
I'm generally GUNG HO on cases and accessories. But, this time? I don't know, they are coming out with a phone every year? I'm gonna go CASE-LESS and enjoy the thing...
