Hey guy, this is my question? I heard the Slate one is like the iPhone 5 where it scratches easily... Would you speculate it is true? If so, would the white be better?

First of all, the color of the aluminum doesn't change how easy it scratches. The silver Mini will scratch just as easily as the slate one. It's just more noticeable on the slate.

Secondly, how could you hear that the slate one scratches easily too? No one has one yet - no one who would openly talk about it anyways.

Thirdly, get the slate. It's prettier.

Yea, that is what I got actually AC it was only a little over $310 shipped...

but both - return 1

I don't want to waste my coupon on a second, unless there is a shortage? And the resale values go up?

I got black & slate to match my iPhone 5. And for the record, I've had the iPhone 5 since day one and there's not a single scuff/scratch/chip on it. The white iPad looks pretty nice I must admit, at least from the back, but I'm sick of white bezels.
