If you want to justify it to yourself from "practicality" standpoint then fine, up to you but personally I can't stand anything that adds bulk, chunkiness or heft. One of the things that always has attracted me to the iPhone's is the industrial design aspect - which is excellent. They put a lot of thought into the appearance and "sex appeal" of their products even admittedly at the expense of some ergonomic considerations.
Do what you will but it always makes me laugh to see people with these slim, sleek, sexy phones stuck inside a 1" thick, coffin-like pocket brick.

+1 agree with the bulky phone cases. However, me being the black hole of "sex appeal", no gadget is going to pull me out and into the light
I have been running for years with a very thin hard case that has a pleather textured backing. Just enough to keep it safe on a table and still easy to pull from my jeans pocket. I have dropped it 10 times at least with no damage.
