Absolutely love this new color! Hope it finds its way on other Apple products besides iphone and ipod!
It is, subjectively of course, a nice color. They used to call that Gun-Metal gray; suppose 'Space Gray' is a little 'friendlier' lol

What is the border issue?
I'll also second this question:
Is there a photo of the slate 5 next to a space grey 5s anywhere?
The black border around the screen feels out of place unless the device is all black and even then it would look better if the casing went right to the screen.

I have the (PRODUCT)RED one with a white face; I like the way the narrow bit of the red casing frames the white border around the display. To me it's a natural design like you'd find in a framed and matted photo. The matte sets a photo off better than having the photo just stop at the frame edge. I had wondered if I'd find it distracting while watching a video but that hasn't been an issue.
The problem with the black / slate is that it was a later of paint on top of silver that easily scratched off. I had my phone in a case from the moment it arrived and still got tiny scratches that revealed the silver cover underneath! It drove me insane, so I switched to the white one instead. Hopefully they have fixed this problem with the space grey color so I can switch back to a black face phone
While the anodized finish on the new iPhone 5S might be more durable than a painted one, it doesn't go all the way through the metal. In other words, anodization is a surfact treatment; you can still damage it and show the bare metal underneath. Just ask anyone who owns a scuffed-up MacBook Pro."Fixed" because its not painted anymore as you said - all the iPhone 5S colours as solid metals.
With a bit of luck they'll make macbooks in this space grey too!
