Default [Q] Phone case - is it necessary?

Do you think its necessary to carry this phone in the case? I have the One V only a week and I really dont want to have scratches on the phone body - which is made from alluminium, so I dont thing I need a case. Its just so uncomfortable to put the phone out of the case everytime I want to use it. (But Ive bought a screen protector).

Do you wear a case?

Ahoj,

I would definitely recommend using a soft or hard case. I have mine for couple weeks now and I am starting to see the metal on the sharp corners next to the top of the display. The black colour is wearing off. Maybe I've scratched it with keys or something. So I immediately bought two hard cases on ebay.

That's not very good news, that it heats up with a back cover. Will see about that when the one I ordered arrives.

I dont use any hard case. it's a slim phone and I want to feel the slimness. my lumia 800 is as thin as one v but when I use hard case it looks sluggish, heavy and fat. I've been using this phone without screen protector without any scretch on the screen.
Current Phone:
LG Optimus 4X HD
ROM: Jelly Bean 4.2.2 Chuck Norris Ofiicial.
Kernel: Stock Roundhouse Kick Kernel.

The first time you drop your phone, you will wish you had a case on it. They add slight bulk to the device, but its a reasonable trade off to avoid damage to your $500 phone.

More like $350...anyways i also recommend having a soft jelly(silicone) case!

Try this:
I use this: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ93509.../dp/B007K6DRC0

It gives you the feel of a hard case but the shock absorption of a Soft case..

MY WORKS:

HTC Desire:
1.Runny ROM

HTC One V:
1.SuPrimo ROM
2.Blue Sense 4.1
3.MIUI.us for One V

5.De-Sense(REMOVE HTC SENSE) Tool

$350/$500 its still good to protect the investment.
