I've bought this cover a few days ago:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01NCSEB24/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I still have to use it though, mainly because:

1) I don't know if it'll scratch the phone every time I'll put it on/take it out;

2) I feel like the back of the phone will scratch because of the dust (due to friction between the cover and the phone). The cover will obviously accumulate dust and it'd be very easy at that point to scratch the back of a phone which is made in glass.

What do you guys think about this? Do you've any solution?

Thank you!

That's too much for me. I'm even not sure I want to use a case because the iPhone 8 feels so good without it. So... no, that's too much of a case for me. :)

I have a Peel case on my 8 which is made of polycarbonate. I just took it off for the first time after 6-8 weeks and I had the same concerns about the glass back. No damage or ultra fine scratches whatsoever. Really the case is too tight for anything to work to the back, but I could see a few pieces of lint inside the sides, but they did not scratch my phone at all.
