I have a Samsung Wave GT-S8500. It has a metal casing and gorilla glass but still I use a screen protector.
A silicone case would ruin the feel of it I guess though the casing gets pretty damn cold during winter

Thats my girlfriends phone, she has a silicone case on it. Shes dropped it so many times yet its not got a scratch on it apart from the screen which has two deep cuts into the super amoled. But thats what you get for keeping it in a handbag with bunches of keys
I think a silicone case is a must now for my next phone, like i said which ill use out and about but take off at home or in work.
You see, ive used socks for years because Nokia phones especially still have the old screen and case over the top. If theres one thing i hate more than scratches, its dust inside the screen casing. Thats what attracts me to Samsung phones like your Wave, its screen is fused to the touchscreen layer so theres no chance of dust inside the screen. You simply wipe it off.

It's more then that, even the speaker grill, the microphone orifice, the camera they are all made so there is no getting dust or other small parts in.
Dust was a problem with all my phones, not with this one though.
I must admit, coming from Sony-Ericsson phones witch I've owned for 10 years, Samsung did a great job, something Sony-Ericsson can't seem to get right these days :|

Every new phone i buy i am checking for dust under the display. I hate it. So many screens seem to be not sealed properly. The silicon cases are good cos its like rubbery grip and it protects it when it falls. I don't use the Face Book feature on the HTC. There is no way i would use leather case

I feel so sorry to hear that. I can understand your feeling. I remember when i bought new bike, i use to keep it clean every morning. It used to take me one hour to clean every corner of it. People used to comment that i should stop cleaning that much otherwise paint will come off.
But one day, few mischievious boys did some scratches on it
and thats it. I feel like whole world has came to end. Eversince, i am careless to clean it. About mobile, i think this moment come for every mobile owner. No matter how carefull you become, it drops sometime due to others or our fault.

I know but when you've had a phone for almost a year without a single fall and then it happens it really ruins your week. More so with the n8 as its case is painted rather than plastic. So when it takes a knock the silver metal underneath shines through. My n8 has more damage than i thought to its cosmetics. I was expecting dust to enter the screen but thankfully it didnt like it did on my first n8.

What bothers me most is that original parts / accessories are VERY HARD to find .
There are so many "hi quality" copies around you can't tell witch is witch anymore. So many fakes I'm afraid of the day I will have to replace my battery...

Had my black X10 over a year now, its been abused, my baby sister late last year picked it up and through it against the wall, got a little dent at the back on the chrome painted plastic, in December it endured rough nites of partying dropping it a bunch of times at the clubs, it also gets knocked a lot if i forget to take out my pocket at gym, so it has a few scratches and dents here and there, yet not a single scratch/mark on the mineral glass screen.
Personaly i hate cases, socks and pouches. The phone came with a SE pouch in the box which i used for about a week, had a see through silicone cover to but that was just to help me get used to the X10s large size at the time, stopped using that cover after a few weeks. I just cant see myself taking such careful care of my phone, i like the fact that it has a few bumps and scratchds, shows that it has been used, and can endure a bit rough usage, so a drop wont realy get to me unless it totaly messes up functionality.
