For those of you with the black Airs, how has the titanium finish been holding up for you? I have a launch day space black and so far its perfect but then again I keep in in a minimalistic case most of the time. I take the case off from time to time to wipe everything down and make sure there's no dirt trapped in there that can scratch the finish, that has scratched my black phones in the past. I'd be curious to hear from those of you who have dropped yours without a case and especially those of you who have dropped it on a hard surface how the finish held up. Surprisingly with all the drop tests on YT I haven't seen one using a space black air.
 
I’ve been using my space black Air for 3 weeks now completely naked.

It’s holding up very well with no visible marks, wear or scratches to the glass or titanium frame.

I just wipe it down to remove the grease and finger marks etc and it polishes up nicely and looks as new.

Yeah I also have a space black air. No case or screen protector.

Aside from basic smudges from usage, it is as it was from day one.

Although I do take care of it like I've done with all my iphones (I never use case/screen protector). It will be in my front left pocket where I will only keep cash notes and plastic credit cards, nothing else. Keys, coins etc go in other pockets.

I have had my Space Black Air since preordering mine and have not experienced any issues with the finish of my new iPhone. I have been using my carbon fiber Pitaka case on my new Air which I have used Pitaka cases with my other iPhones and this helps ensure the cosmetic condition of my iPhone will remain pristine.
