I don't know about common, but I certainly enjoy using language 'inappropriately' (and it's not because I work with a lot of people to whom English is a 2nd language, and I love to confuse them - honest!)
I know when I was shaking a tower this morning, it was roaring with pain outside, and I was listening to a bad salad on the radio. I left, to go to the flock of bats to visit Mum.
"Eye Ball!" I shouted as I left.
After the visit, I said "My bum" and bought some cop porn on the way home. When I arrived I saw the family had flung the hags out, which was nice.

A mate of mine's uncle is a comedian and I've seen him do Rindercella a couple of times.
It's very good when well delivered.

I just bought online one of those Lumia 930[^] which appeared in the online store this Friday.
My current Lumia 920 has quite a few scratches and, more annoyingly, the pictures it takes are starting to become blurry. which I suspect is due to scratches on the len.
(Accessorily it has also a spider web of cracks on the screen! I guess me testing it was fall proof on tiles was a bad idea!   )
Anyway I rather NOT use a case or such like, so I wonder if I regularly put my phone in a pocket on its own (with nothing else, such as NO coins or pen) should it last fine for years without any problem?
Or should I really buy one of those leather case if I want to take good picture with it for years?
Also, sometimes, I wipe the phone / len on my TShirt to remove possible condensation, is that a bad idea? it just remind me that at the swimming pool they say to NOT swipe the swimming google or the antifog layer will disappear!

A T shirt is probably not a good idea - but kitchen roll is worse, it's designed to be abrasive - particularly if you have been wearing it...
Phone lenses are tiny, so small scratches have a big effect. Get one of those cloths opticians give you with each pair of glasses and use that instead.
As to the case: depends on how careful you are as a person. I can get something new and keep it in good condition for years without any cases, while Herself can get something identical at the same time and wreck it in a couple of weeks.

Ho, the special cloth is a good idea! Thanks!

Or go to a photography shop and get Microfiber cloth and/or lens cleaning kit. I use Microfiber instead of T-shirt, most of the time I admit I do it some times and know the consequences but...
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Microfiber! that's the word!

You wear kitchen roll?

No!
It's bad for cleaning glass or plastic with though - it's designed to be abrasive and causes lots of fine scratches.
Think how sharp a piece of paper is - if you've ever got a paper cut you will know what I mean.

I'd go for the screen cover like what Dave says - I've had one on my iPhone from new & there's not a scratch (I change it about once every six months - importing from China they cost a few cents each)
As for the camera lens - I gave up. I don't know about your phone, but every other one I have seen has no way to protect the lens, and it's indented so it fills with dirt that is all but impossible to clean out.
I don't know why phones with 20Mpix and fancy-named lenses don't have a simple pop-off cover for the lens!

Damn this is the important bit that I want to cover!!
For the rest I am pretty sure cover is optional....

I got my Lumia 920 right when they came out (November 2012). I never used a protector or case and it does not have a single visual scratch or chip on the screen. I put it in my pocket all the time, but I am careful about not having keys or change in the pocket with it. I also use my T-shirt to clean it with once in a while.

ok.. what about pictures from the camera?
Are they still crisp?
|

The pictures still look good. I hadn't even thought about checking if they had started to look blurry, but I just checked out a couple of pictures I took recently including some of a label with tiny letters that I couldn't even read with my reading glasses on. Zooming in on those letters shows pretty clean lines.

Yeah, there was grease on my len, silly me!

I kind of want to believe that.. and it will make sense!...
but my case (for the 920) does show some sign of wear and tear... and camera is blurry...
I think just having a little micro fiber clothe to wrap it in my bag is all I will need!

wipe your phone, especially the camera, a scratch does not make the entire picture burry.

Hey, there might be dirt on my len indeed!
Seems better now, silly me! ^^
No case it is!
Will still not mix it with keys and coins in the same pocket!
