Looking at moving to Verizon (from Sprint) and getting a couple of 928s. Since I work a desk job, I've never even had so much as a scratch on a phone, but my wife is a different matter. She carries her phone around in her back pocket (women's jeans have tiny front pockets) and sets it on tables and counters where it occasionally gets knocked onto hardwood or laminate floors. When she does put the phone in her purse, it goes in the same pocket as her keys and wallet (with metal snap/zipper).
We've always gotten her a case and screen protector, in the past, but protective cases tend to add a bit of bulk. The 928 looks and feels pretty solid, so I'm wondering if the case is really necessary to protect against some minor banging around. Any thoughts? Also, is Gorilla Glass tough enough that it'll withstand some incidental scraping without much wear or should we invest in a screen protector?
