I just got my Diztronic case today, its the greyish black smoked one...and while I really do like it, I just cant get over how much I really like this phone naked with no case on!

However with a glass back and what not, I would just think its not such a bad idea to have some protection on this beauty when out and about in the concrete jungle.

I'm still a little bit up in the air and curious towards how everyone else is rolling?
 
Just the Google bumper for me. It offers minor protection and stops the speaker from being so muffled. I may invest in an Otterbox or a Seidio case down the line. While this phone is beautiful it's not much use if it's laying in pieces.


It may be me also, don't forget I'm coming of a super skinny GS3 and i5.

I'll use it today and go from there.

Diztronic case feels like an otterbox case! Just very thick...

It's not diztronics fault, this is just a big phone. The only phones that I have ever been able to tolerate with a case is iPhone 4 - 5, especially the 5. I actually liked the iPhone 5 in a case because it was thin, small and square so it didn't feel good in my hand. Round phones like the nexus 4 feel good without a case, and in a case per se, but because they are thicker and round they look like tanks in a case.

I'm probably going without a case this time around.

I think the bumper would be OK, but that is obviously not happening any time soon.
