Are you going without a case? If so, how does the Rezound hold up?

2 years on my Droid Incredible -- no case, no screen protector.
2 months on my Rezound -- no case, no screen protector.
Neither one looks like hell
I believe I posted earlier in this thread and now my opinion has changed. I went two years with an incredible also with no screen protector and came out without a scratch.
With the Resound, I am starting to compile many small scratches. I slapped a screen protector on it today and can not tell the difference since it is clear. I regret now not using one from day one.
I used to hate screen protectors and be a big advocate of cases. Now, I changed 100%....all about screen protectors and not a fan of cases anymore. My Rezound has been naked for over a month and has not a scratch on the back cover.

The Rezound does seem like a very sturdy phone but I'm pretty anal about scuffs and scratches on my devices, so mine currently lives in an Otterbox. I actually like how heavy it is with the case on, feels like a modern day Nokia 3310 almost. 
I replaced my Eris a month ago with the Rezound, and never used a case on the Eris. It still looks pretty near new.
I bought a case for the Rezound, but only used it for a couple days. It bothered me. It may have been my imagination, but the phone seemed to get hotter with the case on, which I think is more of a concern than a few cosmetic flaws that it might pick up.
Naked is good. During the week with suit and tie I go naked and keep rezound in breast pocket. I've had it for 4 months and it's perfect.
On weekends I go with a case and holster as I don't like to stick it in my front or back pockets. I went with this one from amazon and it's great and cheap

Right on. What screen protector are you using?
Yes, do tell. I had to replace my original device as it wasn't functioning correctly and I ended up with a small scratch prior to sending it back. My replacement now also has a very small scratch (same spot - gotta be my jeans) so I'm looking at a screen protector. Kills me to cover up this beautiful screen with a protector, but it beats having a scratched phone. Let us know what you use!
I went without a case for the first month or so that I had it. Since my last three or so phone all had Otterbox cases it just didn't feel right. I installed my Incipio two-piece case the other day and it just feels better. I didn't realize how much I missed the extra bulk and protection.
Plus it appears as if the Incipio case might have enough room in it for one of the smaller extended batteries so I might get one of those and try to modify the back.
So far I highly recommend the Incipio: Amazon.com: Incipio HT-223 HTC Rezound SILICRYLIC Hard Shell Case with Silicone Core - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black/Black: Cell Phones & Accessories $18!

I just used the clearest one Verizon had in the store. Don't think it was anything special. Just clear, not anti glare. Works great.
