Will you put your iPhone 4 in a case?

Are you going to put your iPhone 4 in a case?

I never used a case on my 3g or my 3GS...so I'd really like to go commando with the 4 as well...but since the back is glass, I think I'll get a bumper for it.
I never thought i would want a white iPhone, but the new one looks awesome, and it looks extra awesome with the black bumper on it.
Im wondering if a black one would look good with a white bumper...but im also worried that the white rubber will get dirty quickly..hmmm
 
Cases caused scratches and scuffs on my iPhone, if i would have left them off it would be in better shape.
 
I have only had an iPod Touch but I kept it in a flip leather case and it has done very well indeed. I hope I can find another flip leather case for the Great White Phone. But, I usually get a lot of "party dresses" for my phones and iTouches. It's a girl thing, we like to dress them up. Someone should make costumes for them. Ha ha ha.
 
Nope, I will never put a case on my iPhone.

I never had one on any of the previous 3 generations iPhone's.
 
The only case that never scratched my iPhone was Sena wallet case. Yea it was a pitb to open it like a wallet everytime but it was a nice soft material inside.

The seidio innocase and the incase slider both scratched the chrome and back.
 
This is my second iphone and I had one ipod touch. Most of the time I keep my phone in my pocket and I have yet to use a screen protector or a a case. I do have a case for a battery back up but that's it.

I plan to use this a lot as a camera so I ordered the Clip Hanger with the LED light for my new phone. I'll clip it to a lanyard around my neck when I'm riding my bike so I won't have to worry about dropping it going down the road.
 
No. My old warhorse of a 2G iPhone is all the more perfect for the damage it's taken over the years. How many people can point to a dent in the aluminum and say, “This happened while doing karaoke in Taiwan?” I don't want a museum piece, and I don't want a thick wad of silicone. I want an iPhone 4, and I can't wait to drop it. 😉

I agree. It's like putting plastic covers on your furniture, sure they will stay clean and are protected, but they sure look ugly sitting there covered in plastic. What's the point of buying a super thin, gorgeous phone if you are just going to cover it up? Of course, I may change my mind the first time I drop it.
 
This is a tough one. I'm using an IS on my 3G, but I think I'll try my 4 bare and get a case if it seems to be a problem.
 
I believe cases are a bit bulky so I usually like to have a naked device. I had an invisible shield on a couple of my devices but I just missed how it felt so I took them off.

Case AND invisible shield. 🙂

I don't know how a case and invisible shield works on an iphone. But I have a nexus one and tried to put a case over my invisible shield and it pretty much took it off. The invisible shield is thicker than you would guess.
 
I've had the first iPhone pretty much since launch and it has not been in a case. Minus a few scratches on the back, it is in excellent condition. I'd find a case for the iPhone 4 to be a bit of a waste. Especially since it would do away with how amazingly thin the thing is. 🙂

Speaking of which, the iPhone 4's back should be much more resistant to scratches now that it is a glass back, right? At least, they'll be hidden more? At least they aren't using the iPod touch's mirror. 😛
 
The only time I dropped my iPhone 2G was when I was drunk getting out of a lifted truck... Forgot it was on my lap 😱

Only one little dent on the top right corner, no scratches!!

yeahh I'm thinking a bumper and front & back screen protectors

Yeah I totally agree with you, that's the same route I'm going.

I personally think this option is the best combination of aesthetics and durability.

I feel as if having the bumpers and the screen protectors is the bare minimum in keeping your iphone safe while keeping it looking sexy. 🙂
 
I am thinking about a combination of a ZAGGskin, invisible shield for the screen and a bumper (but not for $29). What do you guys think ?
