Contour Showcase. If you get it, don't get it from their website. They charge too much. You can get it cheaper from Amazon or, like I did, from smalldog.com.

Unfortunately there's no option to vote for "sometimes."
I have a case on it about 50% of the time. Can't make up my mind about a case or not.
The phone always feels much slimmer without a case but I'm concerned about damage should I drop it.
Though I probably really should quit worrying, since the case I tend to use the most (an InCase Snap) doesn't provide much protection at all. So it'll probably get damaged regardless if I drop it - thin case or no case.
I do have an invisible shield on the back plate, so if the glass cracks at least the shield will contain the pieces. A PowerSupport crystal shield covers the screen to prevent minor scratches (don't like the feel of thicker sheets on the front).
And I personally very much dislike big, bulky cases that would actually afford some protection.
So, basically, I'm screwed if I drop it. Guess I should have voted for "naked."

I can't bring myself to put a case on any phone I've ever owned. I like the look and form factor of what I buy, especially the iPhone 4 - this phone is just unmatched as far as looks and build quality go. Any case, no matter how protective or not, just makes the phone look too ugly to me.
The only device I've ever used a case with is my iPad, and that's only because it makes it easier to hold and carry. I have the Apple case, which feels amazing and doesn't let the iPad slip out of my hands. I take it to class to take notes with, and I also clip a stylus on the outer edge (the fold) of the case.

I've never used a case nor do I ever want to. I didn't buy a thin phone to bulk it up with a case.
I do however use front and rear screen protectors and a sfbags suede pouch. Combined the phone is a few mm thicker than completely bare and I have all the protection I'll ever need.

It's a beautiful phone... there's no arguing that. But F that, I ain't taking any chances - it's in an Otterbox Commuter.
I've been using a case (Incase Snap On) since the day I got my iPhone 4 but just about a month ago I decided to use the ZAGG Invisible shield (Max Coverage) and now I'm caseless...using the naked iPhone....
similar setup except i use the sgp screen protector that came w/ the skin guard and a sw-box bumper case w/ transparent sides.
No case but a front screen protector, can't even tell its on. I had a bumper at first but it ruins the aesthetic and feel of the phone.

I use a slip sleeve for when it's in my pocket. Just too protect it from debris and such. When I'm using it I go naked, its a beautiful phone. Why hide that?
