Owners using the Apple Leather Case, can I know if the bottom of your phone is scratched as it is not protected by the case? Really wanted to get the case but have concerns for scratches at the bottom of the phone.
Got a tip for us?

It can be scratched. My 7 scratched from that area as the leather case did not protect it there.
Yeah, I'd go third-party if you want to get a case to protect your phone...
I use my X from the first day (3.11) in a leather case and do not have any scratches. It depends how you use your phone I think. When you dont care than even the best case will not help you
Having had a few cases through the years, Apples leather case is fantastic and really protects the phone well. It seems to be made as a wallet as well now so...
Mine isn't scratched yet

I have the saddle brown apple leather case on my x and no scratches on the bottom. I have the space gray iphone.
Silver and saddle brown
The silver stainless steel will get tons of micro scratches

I have the silver iPhone X with stainless steel and the Apple leather case. The exposed stainless steel has micro scratches that can only be seen in very bright light. I'm careful with the phone but stainless steel scratches very easily. In spite of this I still prefer to have a little of the stainless steel showing. I'm sure the micro scratches could easily be polished off. I used the Cape Cod polishing cloth on my series 0 stainless Apple Watch which removed most of the scratches and those were more significant than the micro ones on my phone.
I too use my iPhone X with an Apple leather case and have no scratches or issues with the bottom portion not covered. Easiest way I've found to prevent scratches in this prone area or the front display is to reserve my left pocket in any pair of pants for my phone ONLY. NOTHING but the phone goes there.
I have had my iPhone X since launch day, and still looks new. I gave been using the Apple leather case.
Mine hasn’t scratched. Also depends which color iPhone you have. The stainless scratches a lot easier but can be removed. Where the spacegrey doesn’t scratch as easy.
This.
Debris will get between the case and stainless band and scuff it for sure. Good news is that these scuffs can be removed pretty easily.
