That's still an error on iTunes and iCloud's part. Not the phone. So you'd still be lying about having a problem with the phone.

You want a new one because you damaged your first one. And now you're trying to find excuses to return and or exchange it (I can't tell because you change your wording so much). Man up and realize you messed up by dropping your phone.
I'm seriously starting to question the amount of common sense you have.

A lot apparently, I got a case and the added weight of the case makes it feel like the same weight as the previous iPhone. The exact same weight! I don't know why I did not think of this before.
Now I'm glad I scratched it, definitely keeping this iPhone!
I have said this in every thread I have seen... if you keep your phone in your pants, you are bound to get small scratches eventually. Dirt, dust, grit, etc. inevitably gets into our pockets and rubs the screen, causing scratches. If you have gone a year, or two, or three, without a scratch, the perfect storm simply hasn't happened.
At the risk of throwing a bad analogy, plenty of men have sex A LOT without condoms. A lot of them have never contracted an STD or gotten a girl pregnant either. That doesn't mean it won't happen the next time.

I finally stopped being hard headed and put a case on my iPhone, and now it looks better than ever.

looks sweet. Can't go wrong with a clear case. Still get to see all of the phone that way. I used to have one on my 4 for general everyday use and an otterbox for when I had military duty.
That peeling off can be seen on almost all of the black demo phones in the store. White looks much less susceptible to scratches.
I've had her naked since the first day I had her and she's still gorgeous. Not a scratch on her. Her front and her back hehe.
Fair enough and I feel almost exactly the same way. It is such an amazing device, I want to ignore the scratches completely. But they shouldn't be there at all since it's been protected by a case pretty much the entire time I've owned it.
Actually the back is really hard to scratch. It's the edge the scratches easily. You probably should buy a plastic droid instead. It will probably suit you better.

The phone is at fault because you drop it?? I haven't dropped mine since launch day but instead of turning down apple care like you did... I bought it just in case.

Is that a reflection of your phone?
You're dropping it the wrong way.
And I may be stupid, but I'm going with a black bumper with the spigen glas.t.r, which includes a protective film for the back. God, this thing is small and light!
