Who knows? Some people managed to swap their phones today. But odds of finding a completely perfect one is kind of low apparently.

Dude, obviously you have to wait till it is in stock. Small scratches are within spec anyway. Very common.
hard to accept that.. i can't believe this is normal
regardless, i made an appointment at apple store to talk about thisbetter than having your screen scratched
guess what, I got my scuffed iPhone 5 replace today, but the replacement has a 2.5 cm scratch on the screen. Gotta go back to Apple store again!
Sorry to hear about your problems at least you have an Apple store that's not 4 hours away
What?? If I pay for a new product I want new not an iScuff. Same thing with brand new cars. 0 miles 0 scratches. Nobody should settle for that crap.

That's ridiculous I would be pissed.
Yep, Apple replaced one for me that had 1/2" scratches by the Apple logo. The new one is better. The scratches are between 1/4" to 1/8th". A bit deeper, can be felt with finger nail.
Since this appears to be normal I'm caving in & covering it with a case. I don't think it's possible to avoid scratches unless you use a case.
Oh well...
If you are putting a case on it will you ever see some scuff marks or tiny scratches? If you aren't using a case you will get marks like that in a matter of days from normal wear. A scratch on the screen is a different story and I would think you would inspect that in the store prior to leaving.
Regardless, it doesn't make it right but this could be a sign of how fragile the finish is for normal handling if these issues are surfacing for the initial batch just coming through the assembly line.
