I have the black/slate iPhone and it's unfortunate how bad the fingerprints and smudges are.

For those of you with the white iPhone 5, how does the back plate hold up?
 
Look, I love the iPhone just as much as the next guy.

But come on. Do people really expect a phone that will repel all fingerprints, smudges, dents, knicks, falls, elephant stampedes & thermonuclear war????
 
after owning a black 3G, 3GS and 4.
i have decided to go with a white and silver 5.
i'm glad i made the switch:D

the finger prints are visible on the screen.. for obvious reason but not on the body.
another thing, i don't have to worry about the so called scuff gate from the black and slate 5.
 
The white iPhone 5 is looking so good. I can't see any finger prints on the back or the white portion of the front.
The aluminum on the back hides finger prints incredibly well.
