I prefer not to say but risk analysis is part of my job. I use a case but not really due to risk but due to the fact that I like color and black/white would just not do. I bought a purple, minimalistic case and have a pink one on order.
 
Liaison for a hospital in NYC. Naked, but I do use an Oakley sun glass bag to rest it on my desk when at work. This phone looks too sleek to hide it in some case.
 
Clumsy Patient (multiple chronic illnesses 😱) - case - can't afford to replace my iPhone every time I drop it 😀.
 
Bank Manager. Typically I ll use a case till I get bored but eventually it comes off. I get bored quickly. Heres what Ive had thru out the years:

3G - Belkin case but took it off after a few months

4G - used a white bumper till it got dirty from keeping it in my pocket and touching it with grubby hands

4GS ( was a replacement for my 4G didnt upgrade) - Elago slim fit case I bought from Amazon

IP5 - no case yet but ordered a bumper from amazon.
 
No case. My iPhones have been naked since 2007. I do get a leather "pouch" type case for going in my pocket but using there is no case.

I.T. Business Analyst but starting Physician Assistant school next year so I might change my tune.
 
Teacher. Can't exactly text while I have kids in the room so sits in my pocket and don't need a case. Don't ever use one. I like the feel of the phone without and I'm careful enough with it.
 
Not in all cases, but in general, in my own experience, I find that the higher pay grade x the more fulfilled people I personally know rarely focus on , care much about, or discuss "things" and focus mostly on / discuss ideas. Most of the top earners I know do not have a case, unless it is a case with a brand or company they own or created.
 
Business owner and technology consultant. I never case it. I prefer the thin feel and the way it fits in my pocket.

I also view my smartphone as a tool rather than as a relationship 🙂
 
SAR helicopter pilot, and I use a case with a flap to cover the screen. Don't want it getting scratched and don't like screen protectors.
