Looks like most are protecting in some way or fashion. I will use no case that stays on the unit while using it. In the very end and the end is not that far away, you will toss your Pearl aside for another. Just the 8800 will cause many to neve be used again.

I know, I know, lets keep it pretty so I can sell it later. In a year your Pearl will not be worth much and it still will be used.

I think you should enjoy your phone, be careful but use it and enjoy it!
