yeah, that is definitely your fault, but at the same time they do nick really easy. I have seen a few drop videos and one drop on concrete to the black makes it look like hell. With the 4/4S you could drop it and the metal wouldn't look too bad, but with the 5 you are foooked. Granted we all should know and expect this....going naked is a risk I am willing to take.
I disagree. Our 2 black have had no issues. There's no evidence yet that all black iP5s are "foooked". What we have seen is a manufacturing/shipping issue that has resulted in a bunch of people getting jacked out of the box but there's very little evidence of a systemic problem with the iP5's design.
My iPhone 4's silver band got scuffed to hell by the first case I ever put on it and dinged to ***** when I dropped it on concrete (as expected). It was a miracle the glass didn't shatter. I'll take a ding or scuff in the back and sides of the new one over broken glass any day.
