Thats pretty bad. I wonder if it'll affect iPhone resale value ? usually iPhones retain a high resale value, the 5 might be the first to not do so.

I dont think it will harm resale value. The brand identity is too strong.

Like I said, without a case the phone would look awful in 2-3 weeks time... I got a slight scratch on mine the second day I had it.
As far as cases go.. I actually like it better with a case on it, otherwise its too thin for me... and even with a case its still thinner than my wallet

Which would annoy me. When i first picked up a Motorola Droid Razr in CPW last year i couldnt believe how slim it was. I didnt like it one bit. It felt far too thin and uncomfortable in the hand which was more down to the shape combined with the width.
The iPhone 5 is ok, but i wouldnt want a phone much thinner.

I bet putting a bumper round those iPhone 5's
Would do them a lot of harm then 
Maybe apple should start charging more for the 4S
Again, all I can see is a £70 difference by the 2
But for longer lasting casing the 4S wins

Unless you drop it of course. At least the 5 has less glass to shatter.

it has glass in the wrong places.. they should have used plastic for the antennas, just like Nokia did on the N8 and Sony on the Xperia P.. and while they are at it, they should have called up Nokia/Sony and asked about the anodizing.

Haha Etaab
Dropped mine once and the having the
Bumper on it seemed to prevent that
I kinda like the glass look, the iPhone 4
Seemed more of a fingerprint problem
But the 4S doesn't seem to get as bad
As that one ... Odd

I agree on the bumper protection, seems to weight the phone some how to tend to fall on the bumpers edges. a flat drop keeps the glass away from flat surface falls. Last night I dropped my iPhone 5 naked. screen survived without a scratch (screen protector also) but 2/3 edges have the aluminum scuffed or dented 
Warranty swap in a few weeks. Going for Black this time with a bumper and considering Android again for a few more months until BB10 debuts (see what they have). Unless my son gets an iPhone for christmas ... I may just go back to the iPhone 4S.

Perhaps it would be better you opting for a 4S again,
that iPhone 5 would be a right pain (worrying about marks etc)
I really hope Apple change this shoddy material in the 5S
I really enjoy using myphone still cannot fault it after a year now

Apple did the same poor materials with the last generation of iPod touch. I had a 32 gig one and the build quality was awful. The screen had loads of light leakage around the edges and you could see through the glue. The new ones are better so I read

The built quality is really good actually... they just f'up the anodizing on it.
the 808 without a case, and the iphone with a case, fit in the same car stand.. The 5 is really thin.
