Yes, you're the first person other than myself who has referred to this, although I put it on two different related threads. My wife and I both have 3 week old 3Gs phones, and both are scratched on the back, especially the Apple logo, despite being handled, cased and cleaned carefully. I can't determine if this is happening too only a few people or if most people just think it too trivial a complaint to care about

The Apple logo and the bezel is just like the back of the the iPods which are easily scratched. They can be scratched even lying on a smooth surface table. Don't sweat about it.

3G IPHONES ARE LIKE THAT TOO(woops caps lock there sorry) one of my least favorite things about the switch to plastic.
I have owned iPhones since they were first released and I have never used cases or screen protectors. My 2G and 3G never had one single scratch on the screens. I have had my 3GS for less than a month and it already has two noticeable scratches on the screen and it makes me angry that I spent $500 on this thing and it is already damaged.
Yup, the Blender Test is still one of my favorites! (Don't try this at home or with my 3GS iPhone).....
You would think that Apple would issue a new screen protector with each new 3GS iPhone if they felt it was going to be an addressable issue.....
