Silver X couple of micro scratches here and there but running like a champ. Can’t wait for the X Plus
My iPhone X looks and works just as well as it did the day that I picked it up at the Apple Store.
There’s nothing wrong with it according to you. I find it exceedingly obnoxious!
I dropped my white X with a leather case while on a walk. It landed on the corner/speaker. I thought it just scuffed my case and I little of the stainless on the speaker grille... until I took the case off and found cracks in the back glass.
Until this it held up great in appearance and button function.
That sucks. Apple Care? That’s odd it cracked. I dropped mine on cobblestones in Puerto Vallarta and it was fine.
I’m on IUP so $99 to fix with AppleCare. Or I just keep it in a case and hand it down to my wife next month. We’ll see
I’ve had my space grey since launch. No case. No problems. Just like new. I do make sure I’m more careful with it as I use it without a case.
I feel like this screen has been much easier to scratch then previous iPhones I have owned.
Ask me this time next year. For $1k if it ain't holding up ok after less than a year, somethings terribly wrong.
Cue the 'been naked since launch, dropped it 30 times, looks brand new' posts.
Curious how the stainless is holding up for those of you with the silver models who use a hard plastic case or an ultra thin (Peel/Caudabe/Tozo/etc) case where you have to basically snap the case against the bezels onto the phone?
I know the silver models can be polished with a cape cod cloth, etc., but I'm curious how they withstand hard cases being put on and taken off repeatedly.

dropped it quite a few times with original apple leather case since I got it in december. no damages whatsoever.
but the screen is covered with micro-scratches. never had that before with any other iphone. I can remember one (1) scratch on my iphone 6s' screen. otherwise all of my iphone screens looked literally like new after one year of use. the x is clearly way (!) more sensitive than previous generations. so using a screen protector is highly recommended.

Funny that many people write “Mine is still brand new”, while not mentioning that they put 5 kilo of condoms around their phones.
Go naked or go home
Are you taking about your sexual preferences or about not protecting a phone worth $1000?
My X still looks and feels like it did when it was brand new. But then it has been cased since day 1.
No micro scratches on the screen, so either I've been lucky, or it's because literally nothing else goes into my pocket when the phone is in there.

Mine looks great and I got it day 1. I have for the most part not kept it in any case or skins, I usually rock my phones naked. It has some minor scratches around the stainless steel band but nothing major.
Those plastic cases will gouge/lightly scratch the stainless, it’s not difficult to do, because the surgical stainless bands are actually a very dense/soft metal, similar to the 316 L stainless Apple Watch. I don’t care for those types of plastic cases, as I either prefer silicone or leather, which avoids those types of problems.
Actually those who used plastic bumper cases that surround the 316 L stainless steel Apple Watch casing, have had similar affects where it scratches the stainless casing, because of either rubbing and/or debris that can get trapped inside. But as already noted, they can easily be removed with a polishing cloth.
I just within the past few days noticed three pretty significant scratches in the screen. As others have mentioned, there's definitely something different with the coating/glass used on the X because I've never had issues with screen scratches in the past. I'm generally pretty careful with my phones, although I've dropped this one a significant amount more than any phone I've had in the past.
Naked since launch, dropped it 30 times, looks like I dropped it 20 times
My Space Grey X is in great shape. I believe it has held up better than my other iPhones. I never us a case or a screen protector, so most of my phones show significant surface scratches by now. My X looks great.
I did drop it a few months ago. The little plastic "gasket" between the screen and the metal body split, but otherwise the phone showed no outward damage. Unfortunately, the left-hand side of the screen stopped responding to touch in about a 1/4" vertical strip. Oh well. Took it in to the apple store and they replaced the screen free-of-charge.
Other than that, no problems at all.

Mine's in awesome shape. Pretty much zero scratches. I'm actually using it case free until I trade in for the Plus.
