Too funny.
I was a Crackberry addict before I went iPhone. I never used cases with the berries, I despised them. This 4S is my first iPhone and it feels nice to be naked.
I don't use a case on my 4S, but use a front and rear screen protector and it's in very good shape even when I accidentally place it in a pocket with coins and keys; no scratches.
Hmm. I never use screen protectors, but one on the rear might be a good idea.
You can say that about every single phone on the market. Not using a case will result in normal wear and tear. The iPhone 5 is no worse then anything else. And it's not badly designed at all. My anodizing doesn't have a single mark on it. And I've had it since launch. And I don't use a bulky case. Sometimes a bumper, sometimes a Pt or slider.
I do not use cases on my phone. I do install a clear skin to protect from scratches, but I do not consider that a case.
I've dropped the iP4 three times from my lap onto concrete drive (twice) and asphalt while getting out of car/van...the asphalt caused the chip on theropod edge of the front glass. Sent from my iPad.
Ok, tell yourself that, but that's not what the OP is asking. It's like someone asking if there's a nude beach around and you say there's plenty of beaches that you go to in a speedo, so they should be fine.
Some have, some have not. Doesn't really mean anything with regard to whether or not you will scratch yours. If you're concerned about scratches then take whatever precautions you're willing to deal with.
I used the Sedio shell to protect the back so I did not have to worry about laying it down. Once a month, I would slide the shell apart and remove the phone and after a year I noticed that this removal left a set of scratches on both edges on the back.
No doubt it scratches.

No, I always use a skin to protect against grit and pocket stuff; as others have mentioned, the back is fairly more susceptible to scratches. However, it is fairly strong, and my phone survived many falls without a case before I sold it. It was as bare as I would allow it; fell on concrete/asphalt three times, wood floor once (neck high), carpet and laminate floor countless times (usually kept in shirt pocket and would always forget)..very durable for glass.
I don't think you would get away with scratches unless you have at least a skin installed though. Sent from my iPad.
