Does the back of the Metal Slate colored case scratch or get fingerprints very easily? How long did you have it before it started showing heavy wear?

It is very glossy and will not scratch easily. It more shows greasy from handling but just wipe clean. Only have it for short period but it is excellent.Colleague dropped my phone today on carpet while admiring the cover and all is still fine.

There is no metal on this case. The black is a rubberized type coating. No finger prints but it picks up oil residue on the black version. Someone at work as the white and that picks up finger prints more because it's a plastic coating where its white. I've only had it about 2 months but no wear on it yet.

My case is white and black so I can't answer the metal slate thing. But it has successfully survived and 1 year old + park + dog... I don't know if that helps but TO ME its better than otterbox because its no where near as bulky.

Yes it does show fingerprints, this is is the only drawback. But I don't mind it, any metal one will do that anyway. No, this doesn't have sharp edges where it would poke and cut you or something. I carry this case in my pocket all the time with no problems.

No scratches that I can notice. The case seems to be hard plastic sandwiched between leather (outside) and a suede type leather on the inside (think suede couch). I am satisfied with the protection and fit is good esp. for the price!

No. I carry the phone in my handbag where it gets banged around with whatever else is in there. I've had the phone case for about 6 weeks, and it hasn't gotten scratched.

No it looks fine. I've had mine3 yrs & it still looks good. Be sure to use the screen protector film, saves it from scratches. Just bought a new one because this one is going to wear out one of these days!

I have the white one and have owned it for about a two weeks or so and i am noticing a couple scratches and a few rubbed out spaces, but that is only on real close inspection.

I bought two. One I used for six months and the only reason I switched to the other was because the first was dirty (pink). I still have it, it wasn't worn at all. It must be the way you are handling it; perhaps keeping it in a pocket? I like these little inexpensive cases, but they aren't leather. I hope this helped.

Hi. Haven't had any issues with bezel scratching but I've had the 5 and 5S long enough that it's inevitable if you are going to take the case on and off. Nothing the case itself attributed to. Hope that helps.

The back of the model I got is hard plastic and seems pretty scratch resistant. I do have one scratch on it, but it's not obvious. Overall it's a good ipad protector.UPDATE: Oh dang - I just looked closer at the back of my case. it IS metal after all, not plastic as I thought. It does have a very minor scratch. As another person said, the raised tabs on the corners generally keep the back off of whatever you set it on. It's a good design.

I have had mine since Mother's Day and dropped it a few times, no scratches or dents. I love this case!

The surface (other than the sides) are matted, so finger prints don't really show up well. Upon inspecting it right now after using it for a few months I can smudges and a bit of dirt but thats really my fault more then the keyboard >.>As to it scratching, I've not noticed anything of the sort and the lighting is pretty awesome.Negatives: Dont get this to write any papers from the get go. It often has issues creating capitol letters, and it takes an unusually long time to break in the keys. Aside from the function of the keyboard, if you buy this particular item then you will need to semi permanently leave your left pinky in the space between the "M" keys and the left shift.

I've had mine for awhile now and its still pretty white. It isn't a super glossy white but it has some sheen to it. Defiantly not a matte finish. Mine is slightly scuffed in one or two places but over all its held up very well. the stand part feels flimsy at first but ive gotten to the point where I carry it around with my hand through the triangle it makes. only caution is that its a tight fit, which is a plus and a negative. if you swap out sd cards at all the case has to come off. makes me a little nervous every time i take it on and off with how snug it is. had sever drops with no damage to the tablet itself so fat, knock on wood. best of luck finding what fits you best I've had mine for awhile now and its still pretty white.

It has a smooth feeling to it. It does reflect light and it does get kinda dirty from fingerprints. But overall, wonderful case! Really easy to put it on, and really difficult, to me at least, to get it off.

I've had for about 5 months now and it's still clear, but it does get scratches on the surface

Unfortunately, it does scratch and it'll be < week. Nothing you can do !Even as scratched, it is still one of the best for revealing your phone !!!

I have one in black. No problems with fingerprints. I just wipe it down now and then.

Not at all! It's been in my pocket, in my purse with other things. I've even dropped a few times (not on purpose). There is no sign of any scratches!
