All that I do is take it around my house. About 99% of the time it's sitting on a flat surface too. I can not think of one time when the bottom could've gotten scratched. And I've only had it for 2 weeks! Does anybody else have this problem?
Got a tip for us?

The bottom of my MacBook keeps getting scratched... And I don't know why.

mine does it too, the reason it because the little rubber feet on the bottom are pretty much useless, theyre almost flat, the ones on the ibook were way better
Mine is pretty scratched up too. I put a book or a magazine underneath the MacBook as a buffer. The finishing on the MacBook surface feels much weaker compared to Dells.
I have noticed this, and I think it comes from very small crumbs/dirt on the table tops. You need to be very careful about sliding your laptop across a flat surface that isn't PERFECTLY clean...
The first thing I do before pulling my mac out of the sleeve or from the bookbag is wipe off the surface it is going onto. I know this sounds like I am a freak about my mac or should I say mac's, but once those scratches get in there it is hard to get them out.
The iBook would always loose a foot and turn itself into that rocking chair that you always get stuck in at the restuaraunt and you just can seem to quit rocking
.
The only plus about your situtaion is that you dont have DENTS! My 12" powerbook has one tiny dent on the bottom, but my mbp has yet to see anything like that. You have the "durable" Mac.
So, I guess my advice would be to just keep it on a sleeve when you take it out, a book like someone else has mentioned or if it gets to you that bad, replace the bottom.
