Everyone is saying that they don’t scratch easily, however, mine really does. If you put it in a bag with maybe one grain of sand, you’ll see some scratches. Mine also has some little scrapes/scratches but there’s one HUGE one on the back of the battery cover. .
I freak about even the littlest scratches, so… ^—-^;
Even though it is quite elegant and “smexi” without a case, if you are OCD about getting even the littlest scratch, you should get a case. There’s a clear one, if it helps.
I keep trying to look for a green one from Speck because I hear they have really good covers, but anyway, aluminum scratches easily, which might explain why they changed the cases back to the white polycarbonate.
Hope it helped! :D
