The "Naked since day 1 and no broken/scratched glass thread"

Going no case here but I do have the matte finish Wrapsol on the back. No scratches here.

As a matter of fact, I bought a Bumper yesterday. It's actually nice looking but I think I'm going to return it. I really like the look of the phone without it and it's kinda loose.
 
Had mine since launch naked. Normally in a pocket on its own occasionally accompanied by some headphones. Dropped 3 times (2 on carpet, one on lino) and examined it today in the sun. Not a mark on it yet..however I do believe "yet" is the operative word here.
 
Mine has been naked since launch day. Not a scratch to be seen. However, just the other day I got some clear bra scraps (I work at a car dealership) and covered the back of my iPhone with it. The real clear bra stuff. It was free, so I said what the hell.
 
I use a hip holster to carry the phone around, but it's always 'case-less' when it's out and about in use. I've been looking around at the various cases, but something about putting the iPhone in a case has always been a pain point for me.

I had an iPod Touch first gen and then had the 3g, but I just couldn't bring myself to cover them up in cases. Even though they both easily scratched, the design was just to beautiful. The 3g wasn't too bad because I had the white one, and that hides the scratches well. The iPod Touch with the chrome however, that scratched up pretty quick.

I'm not really worried about the iPhone 4 though. The glass really is super hard and doesn't scratch easily, despite what people seem to insist upon in some of the threads here.
 
Rocking the iPhone 4 naked with no glass protector on it since day one. Absolutely no scratches yet. Do I plan on ever using a case in the future? Nope, never will.

I've been using cases for all my previous iPhones along with screen protectors before and I realized that it's not really worth it. The phone feels great by itself. In a years time I get to have a new iPhone all over again.

THANK YOU!!! I was just about to point this out....I mean, the irony of anyone who says "Your[sic] ****ing stupid" saying such a thing does not escape me....

and we have a WINNER!!!! haha.

But back on topic. *raises hand*

But I'm thinking I will be getting one soon, just to alieviate reception... I also might be getting some of the wrapsol stuff for the front and back (if I get a bumper) or just the front (if I get a full case)
 
Been rocking my 3gs naked since the day I got it over a year ago, been doing the same with my ip4 since I got it on launch. Both phones are mint, though I do keep them in a hipcase holster while not using them.
 
No case since launch day. Sits in my front pocket. However, I did get a bumper yesterday to fix the reception problem.
 
Here is my opinion on people who carry their iPhones (specifically the 4) naked. It's to be taken lightly.

Most of the people who carry their iP4's naked are all full of pride in thinking they are above all the shunned "clothed" iP4 owners. I personally put a case on the phone, not because I'm scared I might break it, but because there is always a CHANCE that something may happen. There is a CHANCE that something may happen that is completely out of your control, and then boom, or crack, or whatever, you have a shattered iPhone.

I would also like to add in a quick question for all the naked iP4 users. What do you tell other people who want to "see" or play with your phone? Do you take the snooty ****** approach and tell them no? Or do you place your phone, as well as it's protection (protection being yourself), into the hands of a possible klutz? It's a lose-lose situation the way I see it.

Of course, I am not bashing you naked iPhone users. You paid for the phone so ultimately you decide what happens to it. The point here is that no matter how careful you are, you are only one accidental drop away from a serious headache....Because we all know how much we love these phone ;)
 
Not totally naked (I have a basic TPU case on it), but my front glass has been naked since day 1 and is doing OK (knock wood) so far. I just don't like the feel of a screen protector.
 
Carrying it naked in a DLO HipCase. I guess I am one of those morons. LOL! Waiting for Seidio to release the spring clip holster. No scratches to be found.
