The slit on the front of the screen is a new addition and won't affect your case choice and yes the iPhone 4 & 4S cases both work, the addition of the "metal cuts" can be covered by a case without issue.
On a side note, iPhone case manufacturers must be thanking their lucky stars they didn't have to hustle to get out brand new covers on a newly designed casing, personally I love the size and feel of the iPhone4 so Im great with the iPhone4S casing staying the same!
To answer the original question, the iPhone's are beautiful to look at, agreed, but not so beautiful if they're scratched...taking your iPhone in and out of pockets, purses, surfaces, etc will eventually scratch something, and if you'd like to resell your iPhone in the future to upgrade to the next model (like me) keeping it in a case will always keep it in perfect condition. I personally will always use a case.
I currently use and just ordered a new white Case-Mate Pop for my new shiny white iPhone4S!
