I absolutely did not want a case because it defeats the purpose of the slimness of the phone takes away from how awesome it looks. Then the internal screen got a stress crack - didn't know how fragile the phone could be simply by putting it in my pocket. Anyway, after getting the phone fixed under warranty by Motorola, bought the big bulky Otterbox with the clip. Only use it though when I think I could be in a situation putting the phone at risk. Found out the hard way - gorrilla glass and kevlar don't protect the internal screen and now baby the phone more than ever.
