I use a clear plastic skin cover (found cheapish on ebay) it does the job but still need to dust camera lens, and joystick still gets dirty.
Also agree with a previous post on this thread that you have to be careful with dirt getting inside the plastic case. I have also heard rumours that if you leave plastic skins on phones they can get stuck and remove paintwork when you do take them off, so i always let my phone come out for a breather at night-bless it!
I also use a phone sock, Im a girl with a very full handbag you see and my previous phone got scratched and dented to bits in my bag so this time i went for double protection lol!! i wouldn't say a phone sock was the way to go if you a serious business person though lol!
You can get phone socks from some company called POPCOM (i think thats right) and of course I'm sure you can find one on ebay lol!
In case your interested I have also seen mobile phone cleaning kits with screen cleaner, cotton buds for camera lens etc i think there is one on POPCOM(?) and i'm sure you can get them elsewhere.

I got some of these babies for my phone:

£6.99 from Maplin (for UK folk anyway). You get several sheets that are marked for various screen sizes. Cut to size, clean screen, apply to screen. So far, its working like a charm  |

I never cared much about pouches or special protective accessories for my phones, I find them inconvenient and too flashy. Like some here I just put it in my pocket and I find it enough to protect my phones -- all my phones are in good condition.

@blackspot - But don't they tend to have scratches and all when just inserted in your pants, specially with jeans, specially when 'mixed' with coins, car keys, jewelries etc./metal objects 
I used an  ICE-25 with my K7 before . . . I also use original Nokia leather cases at times . . .

I've only recently started using a body glove, to be honest I always thought protective covers ruined the look of the phone. I would always just use my pocket and would have to keep one change free to save the screen etc. My phones have always stayed in pretty good condition but without protection would end up inevitably with scratches on the screen etc.
I happen to like the look of the glove and it's easy to live with offering good protection.
I may go with an ice-25 as it was my first choice and think it looks the business ! I think it's the best of both worlds, but maybe a little inconvinient at times due to it's size compared to the body glove. Maybe I'll just use both of them

I have described it in the other topic, but I would not mind to repeat it in here also.
First of all, usually my T68i does not lie on the table, it stand in the nice little cup. So the dust does not fall straight on the display and faceplate.
When I carry my phone, I have two leather holders. One is fixed/attched to the belt, the other has a clip so I can use the holder when I wear trousers with no belt. Both of holders have a soft velvet inside (I put).
During the first year I had a plastic membrane (sheeting) on the display. I cut and stuck it myself.
I don't press the display against my ear so it stays clean. But sometimes I clean the display with special soft cloth (ment to be used for glasses).
Sometimes before cloth I also use a window cleaner non-scratching liquid. Here in Estonia: Ajax
As I am interested in photography I have one more device I use it for my T68i. I don't know how to call it. It is made of rubber, it has a shape like a bottle and you need to squeeze (pump) it - so you can blow the dust away.
And my T68i loves the way I treat it |

Well, when i had my t610 i didn't have any cover.
The result became a unreadable screen.
Still, I don't use a cover. Don't need when i have clamshell. |

hey what i do to protect the screen of my K500i is simple.. i just cut out a small piece of transparent smooth plastic and put it over the screen. i fix it with cellotape at the sides. so there.... it remains scratchless. |
