I don't like cases or screen protectors, i do not always buy a phone for its look's, but in this case i sort of did.
Compared to the other phones on offer with my contract, this was by far the sexiest phone on display. (the 930 didn't have glance, and i can't live without glance!).
Previously i was using the 820 for 2 years, and i never thought of it as a nice or sexy looking phone lol. I got it because i wanted a Windows Phone, and it was the only one my provider had on offer ;-)
I bought a case for it, and hated it after 1 day of use, ended up in the 'useless items' part of the drawer.
So i went naked with the 820 for 2 years, and only 2 very light scratches can be found on the screen, a whole bunch of ware and tear on the body, but those are replaceable (i never did change it though). The 820 now begun a new life in the hands of the eldest daughter and she loves it. Probably will get a more colorful cover for it, i used black!
Having had that experience ill probably never buy a case again, unless i want to use a bridge-phone for 2 months and sell it. (with the case)
Covering up the 830 and a couple other phones on the market, would be a tragedy lol
