Bezel scratches
Apple has apparently heard our whining about the easily scratched bezel and shipped mine to me pre-scratched! Now I don't have to go through the terrible first scratch anxieties. They do think of everything! Yep, right out of the box, it was sporting little bezel blemishes...Who says customer service is dead?

Even with a case, the bezel is going to scratch. Doesn't matter which one you use, it's going to happen eventually.
Once the chrome becomes too scratched, I suggest investigating the "scotchbrite" mod (search the forums, there are a couple different threads). It's takes about 20 mintues and leaves the bezel looking new, albeit different. I did this on my V1 and 3G, and have every intention of modding the 3GS when the chrome ends up getting to scratched for my liking. Before anyone asks: I've exchanged 2 3G's with the mod, and no it does not void the warranty.

Without a case, that bezel will scratch. It just takes on single piece of dirt in your pocket and your phone rubbing against it while you walk. This is the best alternative I've come up with: http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum...-3g-34848.html
