Hi, I think it's pretty difficult to not have any minor scratches on an iPhone 5 , especially the black models. The anodized aluminum just scratches easily. For me, the main reason I put my phone in a case is to maintain its value. I'm ultra careful with my phone but, for most, I don't think just being careful is good enough. At least, not if they want their phone looking like it did when they first opened the box.
