I have scratches on the fingerprint scanner on the back of my google pixel xl and I have scratches on the antenna line at the bottom of the phone and some around the chamfered edges around the display, has anyone else's google pixel scratched easily, I have babied this phone and had a google silicone case on it since I bought it!
Got a tip for us?

[doublepost=1481921264][/doublepost]anyone had this problem? before I give up hope that its not just me
I've had mine for a few days now and don't use a case. I by no means baby my phones and I can't find a single mark on it.
Never leave your phone around Christmas elves they're evil little pranksters.
I'm a bit confused by your question. Didn't you inspect your phone when you took it out of the box? Usually when people receive a product in a shipping box that is in rough shape, the first thing they do is inspect the product inside for damage. Now after you apparently have used the phone for awhile, it's just not possible to know if the damage had been inflicted in transit.
I have read comments over on Android Central that Pixels that are not cased do pick up scratches. But I don't know that they are especially prone to scratches.
Well I think of your Pixel had been damaged in transit, you would have noticed right away. Unfortunately you probably picked up a normal level of wear and tear. You may think you've been babying your phone, but all of us, as we go through our days and our routines, put on a bit more wear and tear than we realize. Grit comes from so many sources. At the beach bits of sand get everywhere, even into phone cases--it drives me nuts because I vacation at the beach a lot.
In the city, grit comes from bits of concrete and brick dust from your environment getting kicked up a bit. I never realized how true this is until I visited a few big cities and could feel it on me at the end of the day.
I currently live out in the country and pick up grit from landscaping. It takes just a little bit of silica from all these varied sources of grit to scratch our phones and watches and eyeglasses and jewelry. Sometimes you just get unlucky and stick something in your pocket or carrying bag that sheds a bit of grit that does a lot of damage before you catch it. I actually periodically vacuum out the pockets of my work jeans and purses because this can happen and laundering my jeans does not help.
Have you had problems with scratches on previous phones? What did you own before?
I also have a iphone 7 plus matte black which I have scratches on the touch id ring and the back on the apple logo and near the sim tray, thanks for your reply also

Maybe they are susceptible to scratches?

Conveniently though it took you many weeks to find the damage that you said was there when you bought the phone?

Clearly then your definition of 'being careful' is not what the majority would deem 'being careful' ...
