Not having had a any iPad or iPhone, I'm not sure what they are like.
I'm now thinking of buying the latest full-size iPad. Does that have the same vulnerable anodized back surface?
No. All the full size iPads have a silver anodized back, which hides scratches much better than the black one because the scratches are almost the same color as the back.
Thanks, that's good to know . . .though now I need to find another reason to choose between the black and white! Perhaps black around the screen is less distracting.
You have too much time to waste...3 iPad minis (16GB/Black) and all had chipped/scratched bezels out of the box. 4th is perfect.

I've had a black mini since Nov 2nd, with nothing but the smartcover. I'm mindful of where I put it when I put it down (I usually put it down on the covered side). However it's taken a few (short) trips in my purse, which is not the best place to be for that kind of things (and I'm being nice)
It's gotten out not very clean, but nothing a gentle swipe couldn't remove. No scratch. Now, my keys are not in the same pocket where it was, but still. Not a scratch.
Stop being over-worried about what-ifs and remember that any tablet or electronic devices is fragile and needs protection. Try not to clean them with a file either. It's just a matter of taking care of things normally.
From what I saw, a number of iPhones 5 had an abnormal problem. I don't think the mini has it.
Note : if problem there is -or lack of care- the white will have the same. It'll just be less obvious to the casual eye.
The difference between one scratched and one mint will hardly be 30-50 bucks, not worth treating it like some kind of sandstone fossil. Enjoy your device, don't care about scratches etc.I'm very mindful of where I put my iPad mini too. In fact, I never place it on hard surfaces. Never. I know that if I do it will scuff and scratch. I only place my iPad on soft surfaces like my bed or sheets.
This thing is going to look brand new when I sell it to earn back some money for the iPad mini 2.
In the end you will need to try them both in a store, but the nutshell answer is that a bezel that matches most of what you see on the screen is less distracting.
So if what you do has mostly dark screens like movies get the black bezel. If you do more web browsing and reading get the white bezel. The white bezel also hides fingerprints better.
Difficult to say exactly how we'll use it not having had one before, though I expect it will mainly be browsing with a bit of emailing, iPhoto, and so on.
Useful tip about the fingerprints, though. Thanks again.
