so i love the slim profile of the iphone5 and want to use it naked. my only fear is that I will accrue microscratches on my camera after a few weeks of putting it down on a table. is that a valid fear? should i be using a raised case in fear?
No it won't scratch. Sapphire is extremely scratch resistant, my Citizen watch has a sapphire dial and its worn daily to extreme banging and abuse without ever scratching slightly.
