Anyone have experiences with how well the space gray vs. silver aluminum models hold up to scratching and scuffs marks? I have an S3 Silver Aluminum and am considering switching to a Space Gray Aluminum, but I worry that Space Gray has a greater potential to show scratches and scuff marks if I end up banging it somewhere. It’s one reason I always go with silver iPhones, but wanted to see if others have experience with two types of aluminum finishes. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

I think both models are fairly durable, but if there is any type of finish that will show scratches, it’s going to be a darker color like the space gray. If the Watch chips or scratches on the space gray, it will stand out. But I wouldn’t let that stop you, because I do think they are fairly durable, some have even used a black sharpie marker to touch up any type of minor chips or scratches.
