Hi!

So I preordered the matte black iPhone 7+ and now I'm thinking of Jet Black (I'm coming from a Gold 6+). Will I have many scratches on the Jet Black? I usually throw my phone in my pocket or in my bag.

My plan is to sell the phone within a year.
 
Pretty sure Jet Black will scratch like would a black car ... (I own a black car and a Jet Black iPhone) ... so I put a Best Skins Ever Skin over it and for the most part i Think it will protect it ... still let you see the nice shiny black object underneath and feel plenty grippy... but it also feels more rubbery than a naked Jet Black iPhone But I think its worth it to not hide the phone in a case and avoid scratches

If you plan on selling in a year, then it would not be a huge issue, pending on how you care for the iPhone. To maximize value, you obviously would take care if it.
