Light scratches on bezel normal after 1 day

[asuandy]

I took the plunge on Saturday and got an iPhone. Today I am noticing very light little "dings" in the chrome that is closest to the screen. I carry it in my pocket by itself and there is no debri in the pocket either. I am just wondering how bad its going to be in a month

Light scratches are normal on the metal edge (which is not chrome)... a "ding" in my eyes is a tiny dent...this is NOT normal.


If you are OCD like me an you are careful with the phone you will be fine. What you need to be careful of is things that are physically harder than glass...certain metals, rock, sand particles, bone, etc. All of this can scratch glass and will certainly scratch the metal edge.

"ding" was the wrong word lol....yeah, very light scratches. my concern is that in a month, its gonna be a mess. Oh well, theres always the brushed metal trick i have been reading about

To be honest, I have an extremely sensitive eye to detail and after a few days I forgot about the tiny scratches....in fact unless I am under some powerful fluorescent lights I do not notice them. I know it is hard, but try not to compulse over every little miniscule flawi know its tough but it will drive you crazy

You mean like when you buy a $50,000 and it's not impervious to door dings?
