Who has no scratches on their camera bezel?

[camaroguy]

I thought I would post something not about performance or let downs. I have had my phone for about 2.5 weeks now and run it w/out a case or any sort of protection. I have no scratches on my camera bezel that I can find.

I have always been pretty careful with my phones, but the stories about just how fast this thing is supposed to scratch scared me a little. I am pleasantly surprised thus far.

Anybody else?

I scratched mine all up in the first week so when I swapped mine yesterday I got a Zag skin for my new one. I'm not scratching this one.

Mines scratched up, but I don't care. I knew it would get scratched as soon as I saw it was high-gloss chrome. I don't baby my phones though, I only have the minimalist bumper thing on it that runs around the outside.

IMO a phone is meant to be used, it's going to get scuffed up over the course of it's useful life. Kind of unavoidable. I take care of my stuff, I don't drop the phone all over the place, but this is not the kind of thing that concerns me at all.

I have heard of a few people putting a bit of tape or protection on it and cutting around it, if it's an issue, people might try than.

the att dude at the store pulled his out of his pocket and showed all the scatches he had. He was showing it as an example to buy a Zagg skin.

Same as OP - I use no case and have no scratches.

I have the original "plastic" cover still on the chrome bezel. Also, I have a ZAGG screen protector on, and the Nokia thin black case on. No scratches anywhere.

I had mine without a case for one week and somehow managed to add quite a few scratches to the camera bezel...I'm pretty bummed.

Put a piece of tape on mine the second I took it out of the box. Also using a Nokia case on my l900 ...no scratches for me

This thread needs pictures.

Even before I got mine I knew it was going to get all scratched up. I don't use a case so in fact it is pretty scratched up. This pretty much reminds me of apple ipods, Nokia should have done a better job on the camera bezel.

mine has one small scratch on it, but I've gotten over the idea of protecting the chrome strip, while I don't put my phone in the same pocket as my keys or change, I don't super baby it.

I do tend to put it screen side down when I put it on hard surfaces, so whatever little i'm doing is doing a decent job of avoiding a ton of scratches.

I stand corrected, under the exact right angle and lighting conditions there is one tiny scratch.

No case, no scratches, but I do want the official form fitting Cyan blue case.

Just cleaned mine with a microfiber cloth and there are some tiny scratches right below the lens. Not sure how they got there. Put a black bumper on mine a few seconds after my rep handed it to me. Use a belt case, but with the bumper the bezel is good 3/32" away from harm. Not gonna worry about it though. It's a phone, not a Rolex.

No case, no scratches here. That said I've been taking pretty good care of it. Never set it down on it's bareback on a table, always put a cloth under it or something.

Man, the first thing I did after peeling the sticker off the back was apply a piece of ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD. No scratches here!

Mine has "tracks" down it. I don't really care though..I won't put a case on my baby!
