So it's looking like it's worth getting at least a back cover for it?
Yeah, their quite cheap (£15) and can be custom designed, stop the odd scratch as well.
Any recommendations for something in the UK?
WOW. Those are gorgeous, and the prices are excellent. And protective too? I always hated decals but I'm really considering one of these.The only place I've dealt with for skins is skinizi their French, but they ship to the UK pretty fast.
