When I bought my D1 two years ago I thought the same way. After a year though I just go so sick of how thick it was I removed both the case and screen protector. Its been a year since then, and theres barely any scratches. And I'm a pretty abusive person to my phone lol. I'm just hoping the GN can within the same beating my D1 could.
I hear you but I still don't think I could do it, or would want to for that matter. Attribute it to my extreme paranoia, that's what I do :blink:
