I have yet to drop my iPhone either, and other than a water protective bag I put it in when I go kayaking, I don't have a case on it. I like the feel and slenderness of the phone itself. I don't find it to be too slippery in my hands, but when I rest it on a pant leg, such as when I'm sitting in the car, it does slide around a bit. I'm not a big fan of the look and feel of some of the other cell phones, but sometimes I think a rubberized back might be nice to make the phone a bit stickier.
