I might go naked.... still looking at my options. I will def buy a screen protector for the front
 
Naked for 'me' means dropping it and getting zero from Gazelle when the next gen comes out. OR it means getting it snatched on the NY subway.

I use a Vaja case with a wrist loop. It's a beautiful case and makes me feel secure.
 
I guess some live stuck in traffic cubicle lifestyles and others actually have lifestyles, as in active ones and might drop the phone once and awhile. I will be getting a bumper for my phone, it's a tool, not a toy

You definitely come across as a tool... afficianado.
 
I think 4/4S was more acceptable without a case but the aluminum back on the 5 might be more scratch prone. I'm not getting the 5, but if I was, I'd at least put a clear skin on the front and back

Plus I always have cases for the shock protection. The sound of dropping an iPhone with a case is less horrific than the sound of dropping an iPhone without one.
 
Put the bumper on my 4, it stopped fitting in the cradle and the car holder and pulling it out of my front pocket the pocket turned inside out. No more cases or bumpers especiallly not for something that is so thin and light.
 
I'll inevitably have to use a case cause I drop my phone a lot. But how durable is this new phone? Can the two glass bands still crack?

Its glass so, Yes.

The entire back wont be glass like the 4s but it still is part glass.

I am! Although I might get order the glass.t. It's the most amazing screen protector I've ever seen. I love that it's glass.

Yea I think one of these with a protective case. Rubber bumper and plastic back.
 
planning to go naked on the screen. I'm really good about keeping the phone and keys/coins separate, and the screen always faces toward my leg in my pocket. I'm planning to get some protector for the back though, cause I don't want it to get all scratched up when I set the phone down on a table or something.
 
I will probably use a case until i find out how easy/hard it is to repair

i broke my 4 screen a couple of weeks ago and ordered a kit and did the fix in about an hour. Was easy as pie while the 3G i had a few years ago was 20 times more difficult.
 
Naked since iPhone 3G.
But will buy some cheap cases on ebay only to try and have if i go to alperna or something.
 
Argh! It's such a beautiful phone so I'd love to - Just had too many bad experiences with smashed IP4/S screens, getting scratched up in my pocket because I forget I have coins / keys in there too!

I'm a bit too absent minded really, so will try and find a nice case and screen protector as I'd like to hold on to this one for a while!!! :)
 
No 5 yet, but the only reason I have a bumper case on my 4 is because it's so damn slippery it wont even sit on the couch arm without sliding to the floor. Now that there's no slippery glass on the Back, it shouldn't be an issue.
