A little pricey, but my Element Vapor Pro white edition arrived today, and it's a great looking case. Aluminum powder coated in white. I was going commando for 3 years until a few weeks ago when my iPhone 4 slid off the couch and shattered on the marble floor. It's a shame to cover up such a nice looking piece of equipment but Element makes some cool stuff.

I'm a night/day kinda guy. Since my iPhone 4 is still relatively new, I'm going white Otterbox Defender. Yeah it's a bit bulky, but doesn't seem any worse than my old blackberry.

I typically get the bulkiest, most protective case out there, then ditch it after my contract is half over and go caseless.

The first day I'd let my iPhone go rawdaddy is probably the day I'd break the screen. Design-wise, I think the Apple bumper case is the best, just plain black for me.

Been raw dogging my iPhone 4 and I've had it since the third day it come out. Finally got one really noticeable scratch on the front side like a month ago. Other than that some small minor scratches and a dent or two in the metal antenna wrap around thing.

I don't know how I'll ever use a case. It's just too bulky.

Same here, no case for mine. I don't like the bulk that is added by the case. So far I haven't dropped it or put any noticeable scratches only : knock-on-wood:

How did you overcome the death grip problem on the 4 w/ no case?

I have their Formula 4 composite case and really like it. I was worried about bulk, but this one isn't bad at all, especially compared to my wife's bumper case.
