Nope, I have my trusty I-phone holder and I don't drop my phones. Didn't buy that gorgeous gold color and style just to cover it up. Don't have covers on my laptop either.

I remember my Dad always getting those God awful seat covers for our car and of course, no air conditioning to save a few bucks. You didn't dare wear shorts in our car during the summer. The sofa and furniture were done as well.

I vowed when I grew up, I would never do that.

Even my new iPad is well protected in a cool and very useful Bluetooth Keyboard case!

I even have the speaker grills off my beautiful Klipsch speakers, so as not to cover up the beautiful copper spun speakers. I'm for letting it all go au naturelle.

I do like the way this looks with the blue colour. However, I won't be doing this on mine as the matching colour would be a flat white, and will only take away from the look of the key instead of enhancing it. Putting aside the protection aspect of course

I don't believe there is a written rule requiring one to get the fob in a matching color! Chances are if you chose another color, lightning won't strike you. LOL

That's a pretty safe bet, but I still prefer the way it looks naked

Mine came from the factory in the proper Iridium Silver to match.

While I still think it's a slippery bugger, it's entertainment value has grown immensely.
