So who is going to go naked?

So far , I got it in a pouch with no protection whatsoever , Im really tempted to leave it completely naked to not alter the retina display....
Not me...
The reports of shattering scare me. Not to mention the antenna issue. So I got a $15 black rubber case to put over it. Signal issues are completely resolved and I don't worry near as much about what happens if it slips 12 inches to the floor. Yeah, does kinda kill the aesthetics but I can live with that I think.

How true is this? Do cases/shields really detract from the display in a noticable way?
Might get a pouch or something when it's in my pocket but otherwise it's gonna stay completely naked. 
In a scientific way , no idea how true is that , its just the general consensus you get from reading forums.
Maybe someone has a scientific answer
Which pouch are you guys using ? Im using so far a cheap one bought on ebay for my old iphone , it fits ok but not perfectly
I understand in a scientific manner, looking at the screen through the glass is going to look better than through a sheet of plastic infront of the glass. But in a way that's actually noticable by the human eye?
I'm still going with the invisibleShield on the back of the device, I must say i'm very tempted to install the screen cover if it really doesn't hinder it, at least until power support's solution is out.

I actually dropped my iPhone 4 today. It was a 2-3 foot drop onto office-grade carpet. Not a scratch, dent, mark, or any other sign of a problem. This isn't exactly simple window-pane glass.
I'm with Craiger. Before it came out I thought "no way I'm putting a case on it"... I did fine with no case on the 3g and 3gs and always figured with those it would be cheap to replace the screen if I broke it. But now with all these people shattering theirs after one drop? I might have to suck it up and put a bumper on it.
I've always used my iPhones without a case. But with the defective antenna this phone is useless.
I'm always naked.
Anyway about the iPhone, yes mine is going naked. I never buy into all the "problems" and "issues" and other crap that comes out every time apple releases a product. Every single company goes through the exact same stuff with new products but its seems to only be sensationalized when it involves Apple because frankly, people LOVE to hate Apple for whatever reason.
Oh, and I don't buy the "it fell from 12 inches and shattered" for a bit.
I worked in electronics retail for a long time years ago and I can easily say no matter what item is sold roughly every 1 out of 10 to 15 come back defective. Its the nature of sensitive electronics combined with mass production. If things were made more carefully the prices would sky rocket and people would bitch about that. Pick your poison.
