Scratches and scuffs

[Jeremy]

Yeah, the only thing i noticed when playing with the demo last night at work (sooooo excited was I, it was like Christmas morning) is the black seems to be a fingerprint magnet, even the back plate. Don't know if the white will be the same.

Exactly why I never get black except when I was forced with the 4.

ok, so for those of you REALLY concerned about the back scratching up but wanting to keep the phone naked - heres an idea - just put a screen protector on the back!!

issue solved.

Welcome to the ****phone 5, wish I got an S3, this phone has crashed 5 times since I got it already!

On this note, the hating begins.....

 

[Eileen89]

You give no info as to why it crashed. I have never had any iPhone crash on me.

He doesn't give any info because he never used the iPhone 5. Now that the iPhone 5 is out the haters are too, lol.

I put a screen protector on the backs of my iPhones even if they are in a case. Overkill I'm sure, but I like the added protection anyway.

So return it, get your precious S3 and be gone from here.

You're the biggest iSheep ever, when you get your Failphone 5 you'll realize they are not even as good as the S2, let alone the S3, it doesn't take a genius

Trolling does not pay people. Eventually you get banned like him.

And yes, if you read the forum rules/guidelines you will indeed see trolling is an offense you can get banned for.

I pre-ordered the white iPhone 5 and am wondering about the back side of the phone. Will that aluminum housing be scratch resistant or will it be a scratch magnet? Thoughts?

Well I had the storm 1 and 2. And I didn't keep either in a case. Didn't scratch easily at all. Gave the 1 to my daughter and she does everything to it. So im gonna say it has to be pretty durable.

Look, we get that you don't like the iPhone 5, but guess what....WE DON'T CARE!

Same here... It's no really overkill as you can barely notice the phone has a screen protectors on both sides.. Ops.. Somebody's knocking on my door.. phone is here

I do this too, since dirt loves to getting there. I'm currently rocking a bumper and even more grateful that I did.

Here we go... that article is so misleading. It makes it sound like it's just rubbing off like it's nothing. And I have an idea! Take care of your stuff with the slightest bit of care and if won't happen!

It's been out less than 24hrs worldwide and people are starting up already!! Can you just enjoy the Moment with new toy. If there's a problem take it in next week.....

It's misleading to put all the scratch-gate posts in a thread about the "back" of the phone. That's not the part that most people are worried about scratching or having the paint wear off. It's the black sides that are the issue, not the back.

There is no "scratch-gate", it's more like take care of your phone gate... I'll change the title as this is talking about scratching. We don't need a million posts on the topic of scratching your phone...
