It's funny how people already draw conclusion that the "plastic" back will scratch easily compared to previous gen iPhone. Those who have met me yesterday, and seen and touch and molested it, I would imagine they would say otherwise.

It is not plastic, it is polycarbonate.

So stop assuming about its frailty JUST BY ITS LOOKS, and get to a freaking hands-on first before you come to a conclusion. I know "sour-graping" and "purchase self-preservation" comes into view when newer versions of the model you have are introduced, but give credit where it is due. You know what they say, "assumptions are the mother of all fcuk-ups.

Peace, out.
