Do you use a back cover? What are your results?

No cover, bumper only, never dropped (Knock on wood), extremely careful and so far not a scratch Love my nexus

Yeah i've got a Ringke Slim case which feels really nice and is very thin...however there are times when I take it out and just marvel at how much better it feels without a case. Haha then I go look at the broken glass thread, chicken out, and put my case back on. Maybe with a vinyl skin I could be a little more brave.

All these threads about how this phone is so fragile are really scary. I might pick up a really thin case later on just to prevent it from sliding off whatever I put it on.

I use this vinyl cover http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/10/5u4yruma.jpg

Mine is identical to that but it conforms to the sides of the phone also, not just the glass. It's made by ArmorSuit, their military shield. Kinda carbonfiberish. Works great but I don't know if the glass back is broken unless I remove it. The case I use was a little tight at first, but it fits good now.

I'm still waiting for my dbrand vinyl, should be here in about a week. Currently using a Zagg screen protector on the back with the OEM bumper (works well). Plus when I'm out hiking or riding I throw on my Seidio case for extra protection. I'll tell you with this phone, I've never spent so much on cases and screen protectors trying to protect the back of this phone, that I can never show off because it's always it's covered with protection... Lol

I used to go naked but I always case all my phones now no matter what they're made out of in full cases, not covers or bumpers. Currently using Diztronic's TPU matte black case.

Thanks for all of your replies. I think I am going to dump my full on case and just get a dbrand cover for the back.

When I got home my carbon fiber dbrand vinyl was waiting for me. Shipping was much faster than I thought. The fit is awesome, and so much easier to put on vs my Zagg I had on the back. "Had on" being the operative word; I tried to install the vinyl over my Zagg and when I pulled back to reposition the vinyl, it pulled off the Zagg protector. I don't care because I prefer the vinyl so much more anyway...No fingerprints or marks at all and it feels better. And I think it will totally prevent scratches on the back of the device. And it looks sharp! $9.00 totally worth it.
