i have since 2 months the 11 pro space gray and before i had the X space gray...in both phones i have noticed small scratches and signs in stainless steel and more in the bottom where the case does not cover it..i am very cerful with my phones, never near with keys money..there scratches ar visible under bright light but i want to know if someone else have noticed too...thank you for the replies
 
Thats totally normal after some time. You can clean the case 2 times per week or use a slickwrap.
 
i am cleaning the case and the phone often...i was wandering if i was the only guy with these scratches..thank you for your reply
 
The 11 series uses stronger glass that’s more shatter resistent but trade off is scratch easier. If you are that worried about gadget maintenance I suggest throwing screen protector and a full body case

thank you for the reply but i asked if someone have noticed these scratches on his phone ..i have already temperred glass and case
 
Yes I have micro scratches along the bottom steel. The case I use does not cover the phone (Pitaka Case) but I prefer a slimmer lighter case. For me it’s scratches from the lightning cable I think. Doesn’t bother as it’s a high traffic are if that makes any sense.
 
Get a fingerprint-resistant screen protector. This actually makes the phone look better since you will have less fingerprints showing all the time.
 
Really though, do the scratches matter? Its your phone and you're using it, not a big deal if you ask me.

You’re asking a subjective question that has no definitive answer. So in theory, your question isn’t helpful or relevant. Scratches do matter to some, because we all have different preferences of how we look/treat our devices. I don’t like to see scratches on my devices, but others may overlook them. It’s variable from person to person.

exactly this...thank you for the answer
 
For small stainless steel scratches get a CApe Cod Cloth and buff them out
Keep in mind it’s for light scratches
