Is anyone going "unprotected"?

Waiting to find the perfect case.....until then, naked.

Naked here. But i do have a body glove pouch for it when I'm working. I work construction and get very dirty and sometime have acid and other things on my hands so that is the only time its protected. I'll upgrade to the Otterbox when they come out but only for work hours.

I'm using no protection for my phone right now... I'd say its a bit like having sex without protection...

We went to Las Vegas over the weekend to celebrate a couple of bachelors' last few days on Earth. Much alcohol was consumed...

I was walking out to catch a cab at the MGM, phone in hand, suddenly it shot out of my hand and landed on the bricks/concrete where the cabs drive to pick you up in front of the lobby. the phone EXPLODED into three pieces, the battery cover flew off, the battery came out and the screen all lay there.

I picked it back up, put it back together, turned it on... everything seemed fine.

That was Sunday... Its Thursday now. I still can't find any scratches or dings on the case or glass. The explosion must have absorbed the shock. All four corners are still very shiny and after wiping off fingerprints the glass is smooth and clear.

I'll be going over to the VZW store today to see what they have in stock... Got lucky on that first girl.

Naked since i first got the phone april 28th. Been perfectly fine so far, but thinking about calibrating the touch screen since it does seem a bit off when trying to click on web links such as this forum.

Naked. Prints, front and back, are prolific, but eh, a good microfiber shines it up. After seeing the scratch torture test videos I'm not worried about the screen. More worried about scratches to the front "glossy" border edges. Coming from the Eris, which was built like a rubberized tank, never worried. I'm pretty careful w/it, though, so hopefully no disasters on the horizon.

Me too, that's why I only keep my phone in the pocket. Nothing else, not even a stick of gum.

Beware bud, I scratched my screen from the phone being in an empty pocket in my jeans..I was on the same thought process as you "phone and phone only in the pocket and ill be fine.." Get a screen protector or your definitely running the risk of getting a scratch

I have no case and keep the phone in my pocket with my car/house keys. No issues with scratching...yet.

 

[redtruck]

totally naked

Nekkid.

I absolutely hate cases of any kind on any phone, and the same for screen protectors. I'm pretty careful with my phone though. I've never really been one to drop them. *jinx*

That being said, I do have full insurance, so I'm not too worried.

 

[Distant]

Naked, microfiber cloth is handy to clean the prints.
Still not a single scratch or even a nic from being in my pocket.
The phone still looks brand new.

I will be getting a screen protector and some sort of cover for it eventually.

How did that happen? The worst that has happened to my phone in my "only phone pocket" is lint ....

This is ridiculous.

Of course you did not scratch the screen from your empty pocket.

It's glass. Glass is hard. If it scratched from being in your pocket, it's because something else got in the pocket with it - sand, a rock, something like that.

People buy these beautiful phones and then shove them in a fugly plastic or rubber case. What is the point in having a nice looking phone at that point?

 

[Nathan Hale]

With my iPhone, I put a cover on it, but it looked hazy so what's the point? Now, I just enjoy it. I try to be responsible by always having my phone face in to my left pocket and always put anything else in my right pocket. And to protect from dust, it sounds anal, but I just turn my pocket inside out most mornings and dab duct tape on it to pull out any dust or lint.

I want to enjoy the clear screen and not have it hazy in the interest of having a good screen. Doesn't make sense to me. If it gets a scratch or two, big deal?!

 

[Nathan Hale]

Whoops, on my last point, just to clarify, I'm no longer an iPhone user, I just learned my lesson with screen covers with my iPhone. No screen cover for my beautiful Incredible. But it does make sense to protect it from shock so I am in the hunt for a good case.

" I'm out there and LOVING IT!"

amazing Seinfeld reference.

i too am going Kramer. at least until the extended battery comes out. then i'll look into cases and whatnot.

went to the Verizon store over the weekend and girl tried to sell me screen protectors. she says "there's 3 in a pack and they usually last 6 months or so!" and i'm thinking if that's the case, then when i do actually need another one, i won't be able to find the other two. so i passed on it. especially at $12.99 for 3 thin sheets of plastic. might as well get some Saran Wrap.

 

[barrister89]

I use the black silicone case and vz screen protector.

Does anyone know if the phone has any kind of anti-glare or other screen coating? If so, that will scratch much easier than bare glass.

 

[live4spd]

no case, no screen cover.

Although this phone seems a lot cheaper construction then my previous iphone.
