I have scratches all over the back of mine, with a quick look over it looks to be around 3-4 dozen. A few of them are deep to where I can feel them, and the remainder of them are small like spider webs but still very visible in certain light. I would post pics but my camera broke while on vacation...

There's maybe less then a dozen on the front, but I really have to look for them. They are as thin as spider webs such as the ones on the back.

I really don't understand this....I have taken care of it since the day I got it, never used a case, always kept in a pocket by itself....its just strange thats all....I thought this glass was supposed to be the cats ass in scratch resistance.

How's everyone else's iPhone 4's looking?
 
Looks great because I put a skin on front and back. Not taking chances with this phone, unlike the past ones that I left completely naked.
 
My front screen is flawless. Not a single scratch. The back only has five scratches. 3 from when a friend put it down on a table. And two from when I dropped it about 6 inches onto a metal thing. I basically never put my phone on a hard surface. If I have to lay it down on a table or hard surface, I put it on a piece of paper or napkin or whatever. So yea....thats my phone.


I nearly had a heart attack when my friend laid it on the table. I was depressed about the three scratches for about two weeks.


Edit: The 5 scratches are all light. You can only see them when light hits them at the correct angle. Also, my phone is totally naked.
 
just like it was when I opened the box.I went directly from the apple store on launch day to BB to get the IS installed. I've been thru 4 of them, but it is perfect. Also have a case installed (belkin sheild esclipse) with the IS front and back. Works rgeat
 
Mint, but my invisible shield on top looks like $H!t.... that's ok though it's doing the job it's suppose to do.
 
Can't believe it is two months since I got it! I had a tiny scratch on the bezel and a scuff mark but used some Brasso to get rid of them! Apart from that, it is in great condition. My Sena case just got confimed delivery after a 3 week wait, so some protection on it's way! :D
 
they just came out with the incase slider for the iphone 4g. anyone have it? is it good? does it cause bubbles to appear when the case is fully in?
 
Mine is looking great, only a tiny scratch on the back, and I haven't even had a case on it at all.
 
Mines is brand new condition, thanks to my Otterbox Defender :D Dropped it today from my waist to a concrete floor and it just bounced pick it up and only got a few dings in the plastic on the defender.
 
what kind of idiot buys a $600 phone and doesn't put it in a case

got invisible shield front back, just put on the bumper a month ago. looks good, except for a few scratches from before i had the bumper
 
Using an incipio feather case. Got about a dozen tiny fine scratches on the home button and that's about it. Front and back glass still perfect. Did find a stuck pixel last night near the bottom right corner but I don't care like I would've when I first got the phone. 10 more months until iPhone V. lol
 
back is mint because i have a zagg's invisible shield on it
stainless rims are mint because i have a bumper on it
front screen is naked and looks mint
home button has many micro scratches viewable on an angle in bright light

very happy so far :D
 
Back is in mint condition thanks to a BSE film. Front has a very tiny - approximately 1mm - scratch. I only notice it when I'm cleaning the phone and the screen is off. Not sure how it got there, but I've since put on a screen protector to prevent any more. The stainless steel frame is perfect thanks to my bumper. This thing is still absolutely beautiful considering how many times I've dropped it; I've got some serious butterfingers.
 
You could not tell mine apart from a brand new one from the box. I take excellent care of my gadgets. That way when a new and improved one comes out I can sell mine as "like new" and get a great price for it. I keep the boxes and all documents.

thank you for this this post

If I drop it and it breaks its my fault for being careless and Ill buy a new one...I find cases to look disgusting
 
i switch between naked and the bumper and have had it since day 1. it looks just as it did when I got it. It always amazes me to hear how careless some people are with their phones.
 
My front *seems* perfect although I am not using a screen protector. The back *seems* perfect although there could be a small scratch on the Apple logo. I use a Griffin motif case.

I say "seems" as I really try not to look at these things in the sun which I know exposes the smallest flaws.
 
I suppose it would be more meaningful if we all advised how we care for our phones. I put mine in its own pocket in various pants. Nothing else. At home it rests on a thick microfibre cloth.
