Who is going naked or casing this beast up? I stayed naked on my htc Inc and managed not to scratch it besides two faint screen scratches with the culprit being keys both times. I think I'm going to stay naked and see how it goes. I bought the insurance for a couple months just in case, but I can't see myself increasing the size of my phone at the moment

Otterbox for me. I want to keep this phone well-protected and the Otterbox does the best job possible. I wouldn't even consider going naked.

Plus I think it looks pretty tough heh.

I always use a case with my phones. I'm not one for keeping something as bulky as a phone in my pocket.
I have the Verizon shell/holster combo with the kickstand.

i think it needs a super thin case to improve gripability...i have dropped mine twice in less than 3 hours of holding it. Its a slippery phone.

No Naked phone for me! As usual with all my VZW phones...I grabbed the shiny black silicone case straight from VZW. For some reason it is fairly thick. Much thicker then the one they had out for the Razr... But hey, a little extra protection never hurt anyone.

Case for me, when I went to sell my Eris the outside was fairly beatup. My droid x I sold the other day had a case its whole life. And the chic was amazed how perfect it still was.

This phone (the gnex) is very light. Imo it needs a case. I work on a boat all day and if I'm not careful while texting with one hand the wind could easily blow it right out of my hand.

GNex needs a case IMO its so slippery. I didnt think I would need one out of the box. I actually took it home(self activation Ill be the first to touch my phone please) Went to activate it and realized how light and slippery it was. So I just put it back on the charger and went back to VZW I couldn't even wait for my Diztronic case to come in the mail didnt want this hitting the floor

i have the diztronic case and love it. Adds almost no extra thickness and looks unbelievable on the phone. It's truly a beauty!

Ditto i this case too and am happy with it, especially for under 10 bucks from amazon.

Only gripe is that the camera on the back isnt perfectly centered in its hole. But That's not a huge issue to me. The volume buttons work fine with the LTE version (people with the GSM complained that they werent perfectly centered). I keep accidentally pressing the volume on occasion.

I kept it commando with my DX but the coating on that phone was quite grippy unlike the GNex. I have a case on order but just noticed the Seido cases and though kind of expensive, I like the holster.

Same, I just ordered the Defender Series case. In the meantime, I have a cheap case that should do a decent job until the Otterbox shows up.

I want to keep this phone naked because it looks so nice, but damn is it slippery! I feel nervous letting other people use my phone because I feel like they are going to drop it, haha. I might order a diztronic case just in case, and I also have a XO screen protector waiting to put on

I got an 'accesory pack' from costco. Complete BS. I wish I knew it was going to be a generic set they throw in for all smartphones. None of the accesories even fit the phone. Im going to get a quality case made for THIS phone. What a thought.

I have this case and I really like it but it doesn't protect the top or bottom. It also doesn't fit securely in the holster. For these reason I switched to otter box defender.
