Steve Jobs put attention to detail into things you couldn't see. He was taught to paint even the side of the fence that nobody will see.

Tim Cook. Black iPhone 5. Scuff said.
 
Steve Jobs - first generation iPod nano

No Apple product has ever scratched/scuffed as easily as that. None. They make this iPhone look as tough as a diamond.

They lost a $22.5m class action lawsuit over it:

Again, Steve Jobs launched this product.

iFixit reported that the chamfered edge looks nice but scuffs easily. It remains to be seen whether the general public will react in the same way to this as they did to other issues, such as the iPhone 4 antenna. Unlike the latter, this is purely cosmetic. On the plus side, iFixit gave the iPhone 5 a "7" out of 10 rating for repairability and said it's a lot easier to replace the glass than on the 4 or 4S.
