My screen goes nude. But I will get a skin for the back. That aluminum will scratch very easily....before you know what's going on. That's why I keep it in a folio case, but if you ever take it out if you are not extremely careful you get a little scratch...then when you sell it you have to claim the condition is good (which, is probably all you can claim anyway but I still like it to be as close to perfect as I can possibly get it). I just like my used stuff to be like new when I sell it. I feel better about the sale under those conditions.
