Mines been naked since launch day. No scratches. I always keep it in a front trouser (pants for you Americans) pocket with nothing else, or just a handkerchief, in it. I did get a bumper on the free Antenna-gate offer but that was only to make my phone more attractive when I come to sell it, I've never taken the Bumper out of the packaging.
The only issue I had with going naked is that the back is very slippery so when I put the phone down on a ledge that has even the slightest angle and is quite smooth, I've had it slide off about 3 times and fall onto the (carpeted) floor. That's particularly easy to do if a table or shelf already has a magazine or similar on it and one carelessly puts the iPhone down on top of that; any slight angle is likely to make it slide off. I'm now really careful about this so no more problems and luckily no damage done on the three drops I needed to teach me the lesson.
