Scuffs On The Outer Ring: Does Everyone Have Them?

[FortNinety]

Hey there! Sorry to ask something that I'm sure has been asked/brought up a million times by now, though a quick search brought up nothing... I just got the thing a few days ago, the 3G model obviously, and I love it! But despite the fact that I treat the thing like a newborn baby, or at least I think I do, there's already a bunch of scuffs all around the chrome ring. What the hell? Is it just mine or is everyone's so susceptible? I hear that its the same basic material that were on the back of iPods at one point, where also got scratched up easily, but I never owned one of those. Just checking!

I bang mine around all the time. I use a slide in holster, but more often than not it's nude. The only real protection I use on it is an InvisibleShield on the glass part.

Long story short, I don't have any scuffs on the chrome bezel. My scuffs are all on the Apple logo and the black back plate. The front is pristine, and I don't treat it with kid gloves.

I too use a screen protector, the power support film. I also use the Griffin Wave, which has scratched the chrome ring at the top and bottom of the phone. It kinda sucks, but I guess its the price you pay to have the Apple logo and backside scratch & impact resistant.

I was doing a little search in the internet for a new kenwood interface for my iPhone 1st generation well before i try the unit in my car I was in this forms. I have a kenwood DDX6017 with ipod interface. Running firmware 2.1. well i try my cell phone with the interface and I was so surprise that it work and not only play my music also my video two and if i receive a phone call the music will fade and i can answer the call true my speaker sound, the down side is that if you have the iphone to far the caller will not understand what you said. anything else perfect. love apple :D

Scuff are a name of the game, regardless, even lint underneath a protector can mess it up. I say just dont drop it. If your concerned about future resale, dont worry, if you keep it in A-/B+ condition it will still fetch a pretty penny.
