At the Apple Stores I've noticed that all the space grey phones are very scratched up with the coating wearing off at the dock connector. The silver and gold phones are fine. I'm sure this is due to rough usage but is this likely to happen to personal phones over time? Anyone with a space grey particularly that uses a dock want to comment?
Got a tip for us?

Who cares its a phone, you going to be checking the bottom for scratches all the time
Just to ease your mind i use the apple leather case with a twelve south dock and NO scratches that i can see. I could check with a magnifying glass if you want?
Don't carry it and worship your phone from the box it came in! Besides iPhones weren't made to make calls on
Unless you treat your phone like everyone else at the apple store does the demos, you have nothing to worry about.
Those scratches are a combination if trying to find/line the port up with the plug, while pushing down at the same time.
If you don't do that you have nothing to worry about.

it's a phone my man, you will get a scratch.
no scratches on my slate iP5. just paint fading around the holes/screws and lightning connector. I fumble sometimes with plugging it in if I'm half asleep and it shows no scratches. hardly noticeable unless i'm looking for it.
