Your new iPhone: Naked or Protected?

Your late. There are many threads like this that were made back in June of 2010 when the same phone came out. So once again it's the SAME phone so there is no need for a new thread
I started with a bumper and screen protectors but now just use a carbon fiber skin. The phone is so thin and has an awesome solid feeling in the hand. I feel that a case detracts from that quite a bit.
And to the rude guy above me, you didn't need to come into this thread!

Naked. But as long as it's in my pocket, I keep it in a pouch to prevent it from getting scratched. Only accidents or vandalism can really damage it then, and I have insurance to cover that.
it boils down to preference ... even protected, a drastic fall could still damage the iPhone. Just be careful and go with what feels right for you.
It depends on the type of case/protection you have.
Never had luck with putting them on perfectly for one thing and I like the feel of the glass. I have some scratches on the screen. It's pointless now. Anyway you cant see the scratches when the screen is on and that's all that matters to me.
Black bumper + front and back screen protectors. It preserves the beauty of the device and allows me to not be so OCD about protecting it.
I go naked, except with a LuckyLabs carbon back wrap. I may end up going back to at least a bumper type case because I get so paranoid I'm going to drop it sometimes.
I go with front and back skins/protectors. Keep it in a pouch when not in use. Has worked well so far.
I have thought about taking that route but have never attempted. I really wanna get a Sena Corsa and then a full body Ultra Matte SGP kit. I think that would be a match made in heaven.
Naked for now. Still looking for the perfect case. Bought an inCase slider white case when i purchased my iPhone but didn't like the extra bulk. Also the front lip interfered when i typed.
The iPhone 4 looks so good naked, I'm gonna have a hard time deciding on a case. Something minimal that doesn't distort the beauty of the phone.

The pouch would be cool but I have dropped mine a few times and it's usually when I am using it. One time on concrete. The case saved my ass. I dropped it on my wood floor a couple times. Once without the case. I don't want to press my luck. I wish these things weren't so fragile.
Agreed, the iPhone 4 looks so good naked that I don't even like cases, but I get to paranoid so I use a bumper an front and back screen protectors.
