To Cover or Not to Cover.

I am the proud owner of the one and only iPhone 4. The ultimate smart phone out there. Period. Is it redundant to write "period" after a "period" ie a "full-stop"? I digress...

A fantastic element to owning an iPhone 4 is its sleek awesome design, which naturally I would like to appreciate and maybe occassionally show off. Thus, the big question is - Whether or not to hide all this beauty, with a protective case.

I'd much prefer not to have a cover, but its just too risky. Especially when you're showing a non iPhone individual something on the phone, and they grab you're mini super-computer like its their little brother's 5510 from back in the day... put it on the table... swivvel it around...hand it off to someone else - and then before you know it, your iPhone is at the end of the table in the hands of some person you dont even know, who will undoubtedly utter the phrase:
"Hey - is this the iPhone 4?"
...Deep breath...
"YEAH! - Now GIMME MY PHONE BACK!! This is not like your Crap-Berry ok!"

So unfortunately, in order to protect the iPhone 4's sleek good looks and maintain an unscratched finish, a case of some sort is essential - if only to protect it from the sweaty palms of the uneducated cell phone user at the end of the table.
