Mines scratched all over the place bought in December. I'll go for the Matt black on the 8, never knew it would get so bad.

Had mine since December. It's got a few small microscratches and one part by the charging port that has some of the finish removed. It happened when a defective case wouldn't come off.

Really want to take mine out of the case and use it naked. But I just can't. I think it looks stunning, it's a shame it's hidden away in a case.

I agree I just took my JB 7 plus out of my Apple leather case after 4 months. It looks brand new even in bright sun. Sure feels nice but no way.

wish more people actually post pictures of their phone, and not with their case one!

This is why I changed my order to Matte Black, but of course, it's in a case. :(

I really want the Product Red one, but unless I'm brave enough to go careless, there's no point.

I got mine from target on Tuesday, Jet Black 128GB the 7+...been in the case and I already see a very small micro scratch in the back... gonna exchange this sucker for the Matte Black if they get one in stock in the next week.
I am too worried what it would look like in a months time.
The reason I got it is because of the $300 gift card.

You'll lose the $300 gift card. FYI. This seems to be the consensus on slickdeals. Better do,it today.

Why would I lose the gift card if I'm picking another one up today? The deal is good until today... the return policy shouldn't affect the gift card.

You said return it next week, when they have more in stock. If you return it then, you have to return then gift card as well. When you buy the new one, you are subject to whatever deals there are then. $300 gift card expires today. So swap it out today if you want assurances to keep the $300 gc.
