Hi all,

For those that picked up a 5s do you have any concerns about scratching? The original 5 was terrible in the grey colour so I'm concerned the 5S will be the same.

I really want space grey but thinking of getting silver just because of the naked aluminium. It seems to me the coated aluminium on the grey and gold will chip and leave nasty marks.
 
I don't see how it's any different from the 5, which does scratch leaving the bare aluminium exposed.
 
It'll scratch the same I would imagine as I don't remember them talking about a "brand new super sparkly coating method", which basically means it is the same...

On the plus side, heard some nice things about the leather cases apple are doing so it might be worth getting the one you want and putting a case on it... but I guess you could argue there is no point getting the colour you want if it is covered by a case...
 
The space grey chamfered edge is much lighter than the old 5, basically grey instead of black, so should help with how visible the nicks appear. I believe that's one reason they changed the dark colour.
