I'd much rather have it in a rigid case of some sort if I were to take the guitar anywhere where it's likely to get accidentally bumped- be it a pub for a jam session or on public transport.
Though I think that the risk with a thin finish is more fingerprints, spills, etc - I don't think a high-gloss finish protects in any way against people bumping into the guitar, a cat jumping on it or falls to the floor. So I don't think there's any more need for a hardcase for a Naked Faith than for a lacquered one. I'm afraid of a broken neck, an end-pin pushed into the body, a body broken in another way. And of course it would be lovely if the tuners would stay in the position in which they were...

Update: I've ordered the Faith hard case, I'll let you know how I like it when it arrives.
The Faith hardcase has just arrived which is pretty fantastic (ordered it on Saturday from Andertons). The case seems solid enough to protect the guitar fom most things that are likely to fall on or bump into it - but it's so heavy (6 kg with guitar) that I wont't be carrying it very far! The handle is only attached with 4 rivets and doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. The fit is exact (with a gap in the padding on the bottom for the endpin) but very tight. There's a small compartment for accessories under the neck and there's a bit of space around the head. All in all nice enough - but not what I'd want to carry on public transport!
