I have never understood why people keep their expensive phones in the same pocket as keys and loose change. It's asking for scratches, yelling out for them.

How scratch-tastic will the new iPhone be?

I'd say the same about people putting their expensive phones in the back pocket. Yelling out for a bender.
It will eventually get scratched. It's a gagdget guys. It's inevitable unless you won't use your phone and keep it in the box.
My guess is that it'll scratch eventually however I have really no idea regarding the materials of the 6. Let's wait till we see it.

I would say that the current iPhone (5S) is rather great at scratch prevention; leaps and bounds ahead of the 5 anyway. I don't see Apple going backwards here. For all intents and purposes, it will be the same as the 5S (maybe better?).
I find all the fuss to avoid scratches quite amusing. Nothing wrong with wanting to keep your stuffs as pristine as possible but some feels like an... obsession, that defies logic.
I laugh at friends who agonised over silver or gold iphone admiring its thinness when they finally make up their mind and get it, slapped a 2 inch thick purple barney suit over it for protection. I'm glad I've grown out of the "yay new phone now need front back top down & side protection" circus n just enjoy the phone in its original skin. But to each his own. It works for me coz I change new phone every 2 years and have enough common sense to avoid doing things that attract scratches, like trying to remove a speck on the screen with sandpaper.
