No Case, no Screen Protector. Just a blue Decal around the silver bezel for the looks.

I also think that this phone is too beatiful to cover it up with a case.

No Scratches yet, but i got it only a month ago.

Just look at your previous phones: they look as good as new after one year? --> you are qualified for using your iPhone 4 without a case :p
 
Been case free since November. I take extremely good care of my phone. I used to rock the bumper, but when tiny dirt get inside on the side, it scratches the ****** out of the aluminum border. Apple replaced my phone and the bumper.

Its a little ocd but i do this.

-If i put the phone down on a hard surface, i gently face it down with the camera side up (so it doesnt scratch the lens)

-Clean every other day (with a terri cloth)

-phone is either in my coat pocket or left pocket (right pocket always has watch pocket tabs)

-Nothing goes in the pocket that the phone goes in.
 
I would love to go sans-case. I usually either have a bumper on or the Speck HD rubber case. I've tried a few snap cases and those are pretty minimal but the black bumper is the best minimal case.

A few weeks ago I went to a local park, after parking the car (surface was black asphalt). As I got out of the car and stood up, I felt something under my foot. The iPhone slid out of my left pants pocket as I lifted my leg to exit the car, fell to the asphalt face down and I stepped on it. Well thank goodness I had the bumper on, not a scratch on the phone. The bumper sustained a few nicks and a small crator on the corner. Just imagine what would have happened to the face glass if I didn't have a case and stepped on the phone rubbing it into the asphalt.
 
No case here with barely noticeable scratches. I do use a slip on cover when I'm working in the metal shop. Dropped it on the concrete with no breakage once and don't want to chance it again. Every day at school and home it is bare.
 
:apple:I don't use a case on my iPhone 4, and everything is A okay! No scatches, no nothing. Looks like the day I took it out of the packaging.

Just have to clean the screen a lot, haha!:apple:
 
Same iPhone 4 since launch day here, no case/cover/protector on it ever. I take care of my phone, but I don't baby it. It gets set down and scooted around on various surfaces (clean or not), chucked across my room onto (hopefully) soft things, and sees heavy, heavy usage throughout the day. The back has a smattering of very light hairline scratches all over it that you can see in good light, but nothing major and nothing on the front or camera lens. I've even managed to drop it a couple of times so far with no ill effects - it still largely looks new. Signal degradation has not been an issue either - I get great service with this phone, even better than the phone it replaced (a 4GB 2G iPhone).
 
Cased in a 99p TPU case from Amazon here - the only way I ever managed to use mine caseless was to hold it with the tips of my fingers. That was only ever going to end it in getting dropped, so I claimed a free bumper, which I ditched after a couple of weeks because the damn headphone jack hole was too small for everything but Apple buds.
 
Just recently took off my case and put cheap eBay protectors on the front and back and never felt better about my iPhone! I am pretty ocd about my phone but it doesn't have scratches besides what the bumper did to it while I had that on last year.

BAM! wrote this yesterday and got a deep scratch today. don't know where from but i'm angry :mad:
 
Naked iphone 4 here. It has some very minor scratches specially on the back of the phone but barely noticeable. Don't want to cover up the sexiness.
 
Just a front screen protector on mine. Thinking about ditching that and going completely naked.
 
screen protector/gelaskin/luckylab 2.0 side decal :):apple:

just my incase snapcase

works great still keeps the image of the phone while still getting good protection on the back which was my main worry.
 
Btw, the poll should have been worded: "Do you use a case or not for your iPhone 4?"

The way it reads now, it kind of skews all the votes to the people who don't use one. More people without a case will tend to click on a thread like this seeing how it's worded.
 
Well I don't use a case but is it still considered a naked iphone if I have a front/back shield on it? Not a scratch on it though so I'm happy. Keeps the design of the phone while protecting it from scratches. :D I have no issues with the signal quality.
 
Contour Showcase for me. Pity the holster that came with it was a POS. Otherwise it would've been a perfect setup for me. I switch to a bumper every once in awhile as well but this is my main case.
