Cases also offer a better gripping surface. Perhaps it's just something to get used to, but I find myself constantly worrying about dropping an iPhone if it isn't in any case at all. The 4 and 4s aren't as bad since they are thicker, but the 5 and later always feel ready to slide out of my hand. A case gives me something more to grip. Again, it might just be a psychological thing, but there it is.
