hi,

I am ordering the Fascinate in a couple days and want to get a case w/ it that adds the least amount of size/weight to it. I am not really looking for a crazy case that will protect it from drops or anything, just one that will protect it from scratches and what not from pocket storage and normal daily use.
Oh yea, also, how scratch and fingerprint prone is the Fascinate?

You probably want something like this: Carbon Fiber Look Protector Case for Samsung Fascinate SCH-i500
The SF is a fingerprint magnet but it does not scratch and once you get the case it will be even less scratchable

I am using the shell/holster combo from Verizon. I can honestly say this is the first case I have ever left on any phone. Coming from a Droid and X it is easier because even with the case the phone is still slimmer and has a much more pocketable form. Screen is still pristine despite several drops, placing anywhere at work on my desk and an episode with my daughter playing with it. I have had bad experiences with cases like the one above. They are definitely great but when removed they are dirty underneath and usually leave scratches and scuffs from where the plastic meets the phones plastic. The shell/holster combo has a soft inside to prevent this
