Default Anyone prefer going case-less?

I've never had a case or screen protector for my Galaxy Nexus, and at this point I don't plan to. Was wondering if anyone else takes the risk of going case-less and has it bitten you in the ass ever?

I hate cases and screen protectors. However, my screen has a scratch or two and the camera on the back has some scratches. Not the lense, the other part. All in all, the phone looks great.

I have a case with a kickstand built in. Makes it easier to watch movies at my desk. I used to use a screen protector too but currently I'm not. Only one minor scratch and not anywhere that matters.

This is my 4th smartphone and I've not used a case with any of them.

I haven't used a screen protector on my last 2 phones. It seems like they only reduce the resolution that we just paid big $$$ for.

Otterbox defender when on my motorcycle. Otherwise, just a skinit skin and mirror screen protector.

Otterbox Commuter, like I use on my Atrix 4G and Nokia N900. I never use the screen protectors provided with the case. The Defender line offers great protection against drops and allows you to place the phone face down to avoid dropping spoons thru the screen (ou still need to cover the camera opening if you really want to be safe). And yes, this makes the phone weigh twice as much but I perfer the weight to the sound of shattering glass or cracked plastic.

I run nudist. Only way to go. I carry it in a Spigen leather case for travel between work, but it has a nice little draw string to pop it out, and there she is with nothing on! *gasp*

I've never owned a case for any of my top of the line smartphones.

Always naked.

Anyway, these new phones are WAY too big to put a case on. They do fine in my pocket but add a case and it's just too big for me.

I used to use screen protectors but I despise those now too.

Using zagg screen protector and Gella skin. But I don't like the resistance on the zagg.
