It's been over a month, how is your naked iPhone 5 looking?

it's alright, i dropped it twice on tile. the bezel is dented in 2 places. the metal along the chamfer is chipping because i put it in the cup holder in my car. other than that it's all good.
Looks as good as day one (naked black iP5).
Take home message: If the black on your iP5 is scratching or rubbing off like crazy, it has defective anodizing coating and you should get it replaced under warranty.

One tiny nick, that only I can see, having shown it to friends when discussing scuff-gate.
And I am getting less over-protective too, it now gets sort of dropped into the centre console of the car and cast to the side on desk at work.
I say it's holding up well, despite my laissez-faire and increasingly cavalier attitude.
PS: I still love it and still say it is the best mobile (cell) phone I have owned in twenty years of buying them.

I have a black iPhone 5 which will never be in a case. From what I see it's the same as when I got it on release day.
Damn. Jinxed myself. A couple of hours after I posted this I dropped my phone on concrete. Thankfully the screen didn't break it just has a small ding on the edges.
I already posted this in another thread, but I will post it here as well. My white has been naked for 3 weeks or so. I am careful, but I use it. The polished Apple logo has a few scratches and there are 3 or 4 dings on the aluminum bezel/chamfered edge, but they really aren't noticeable unless you really scrutinize the phone. I figure of the edges become unbearable to look at them I will cover it in a case.
