Unhappy Kindle smudging/yellowing + Case question

Hello MobileRead Kindle Readers,
I have two questions regarding the Kindle 2. Right now I have been using my Kindle with the clear sheet of plastic on it that came out of the box. I'm worried that I will scratch the screen and dirt/grease build up will form on the Kindle's immaculate white body, (I suspect there will be a slicks of grease smudges over where the Kindle is held and especially on the 'Next Page' button) overtime. I also have a suspicion that the Kindle itself well turn a pale yellow after months of intense use (like many other white colored products). Have any of these particular phenomena happened to anyone?

Another problem I'm worried about is durability. I heard the e-ink screen + body can be damaged easily, especially if it gets jumbled about in a handbag/backpack. Do MobileRead readers recommend buying a case? Would it be better to have one of those stick on skins or a case to slip in?
