I haven't had my iPhone 4 in a case and considering how old it is, it's still relatively scratch free, nothing noticeable to me. I don't treat it exceptionally well either. I throw keys in the same pocket, drop it occasionally. I think even gorilla glass was relatively resistant to scratching. It was the aluminum that is more prone to scratches.
Got a tip for us?

So are you saying the iPhone 6 is going to spontaneously catch fire?
Thought that was a Tesla? A Ferrari catching on fire? Do tell which model your referring to?
I've been thinking for a while that the whole phone might be coated in a thin layer of scratch-proof sapphire. This would explain the talk of 'curved' glass and would also mean the camera will be flush with the back.
The 'bands' might just be where the sapphire fuses to the aluminium (as per Apple's recent patent).
I think this could make the phone look really nice and much better than the recent mockups.

I believe 458 had a issue with some adhesive substance overheating and catching on fire. They switched to mechanical fastening now, I believe.
The iPod nano has a standard headphone jack, and it's just 5.4mm thick. The headphone jack is not a limiting factor for the iPhone at this time.
And this, ladies and gentleman, is why these are only mockups. And also, ladies and gentleman, I have been telling forum members on here not to worry about those big lines.
The iPhone 6 will look...really really great.

we have a new hope.

While it looks pretty, I made the most trips to the Apple Store with the back shattering.

I'm really relieved that the back will be more like the iPhone 5. The front being continuous glass to aluminum is very interesting. This will be a whole new level of design.
The band is stainless steel, not aluminum. The band is much tougher than the aluminum found in the 5.

I would've been happy if those antenna breaks were made thinner, but gone entirely? That'd be awesome. I really hope this rumor is true.
And then you hold it in your hand or rest it on your ear for a short period of time and suddenly it's not the best design. Looks beautiful - yes. Comfortable - not really.
They traded ergonomics for fashion with the move from the 3GS to the 4. I really hope they are bringing comfortability back with the 6 and it's curved edges.
That's mostly due to the aluminum being injected with dye, the surface of the aluminum on the 5 was softer and resolved in the 5S.
Did everyone miss the part of this story that said the antenna breaks will not be part of the final design?
Seriously it boggles my mind the amount of people who don't have reading comprehension here
