You know what's weird? My fellow trainee who works for Apple keeps his 7 Plus completely naked and he's had it for a good 3 weeks now, (matte black) it looks pristine even though he just keeps it in his pocket and takes it on hikes, uses it all the time.
Of course as an Apple software engineer he has access to replacement screens and replacement devices anytime he needs and I do not, which is why I will keep mine in a wallet case.
But everytime I see his phone I feel this mixture of awe and cringe: his phone is gorgeous.
Not a scratch, it is pristine.
... Pulled out of a dusty pocket, where it's been jingled with keys.
Shoved into a beat up, grungy looking pack.
Used by hands that were digging in the dirt and are still wet and yucky looking.
IT'S. FLIPPIN'. GAWGUS.
And I know that if *I* were to try that for 10 minutes my phone would end up looking like R2D2 after a furious orgy with a bunch of WW2 radios.
So my 7 Plus will be dressed like a freaking d?butante visiting a male prison.
