Perhaps a Spigen Neo Hybrid Aluminum case. It'll look great and protect the phone itself.

In fact i do agree.. been using it for 2 days and realised it is easily scratched due to the highly polished look.. as i am a watch collector as well, guess we should live with it.. however, not very sure, but maybe some Cape Cod Cloths would help? But would really need to be very careful.. dare not try it yet though, as mine is just some minor scratches..

You scratched it with the charger. The end.

I bought a note 4 off eBay a couple days ago, the metal edges were pretty banged up. I taped off the screen very carefully with painters tape, make sure the corners were taped perfectly, removed the back, then sanded the shiny surfaces of the edges with 1000 grit automotive sandpaper. Worked like a charm, phone looks brand new. If you decide to try this, just go slow, be careful, and pay attention. There are several spots around the edges where a piece of plastic crosses over the metal, I assume they are parts of the antenna, avoid those while sanding.

You have courage and skill. Nice.

Try buying a case that is supposed to be kick-*** (ie: Spigen NeoHybrid), put it on your mint condition brand-new phone only to take it off two weeks later to find every millimeter of shiny stuff severely scratched-up. Yeah, it's awesome.

Seriously guys. Mine has major scratches on right top and bottom corner and I DON'T care.

If all of you just ignored it, I believe you won't even noticed it when using.

And speaking of where I got my scratches, I used the metallic aluminum bumper for a test when I heard a frightening scratch. Was heartbroken but I will live. :/

Still it's the principle though ....I have an iPad and that's still in perfect condition and have had an iPhone 4 and in perfect condition after 2 years

To be fair, I actually had a thought that the chamfered edges of aluminum will get scratches much more easily, which is probably why I don't mind anymore. My iPad 2 is in a perfect condition as well but the aluminum seems to be more like an anodized one. I usually took so much care on my phones but surprisingly not so much on my Note 4 (most likely because it feel durable compared to my previous Z1).

I know one day my phones will get a blemish and I'll be heartbroken.

Youre positive you didnt have any sort of abrasive material in your pocket. Damn, you must have the cleanest water on the planet. And you must have microscopic filters on your water lines going to your laundry because no matter what, there is sand and silt in your water. Your water is delivered from ...... under ground..... there are microscopic minerals and contaminants in everything you eat or drink. Heck, even a body hair can get caught in your pants and as it dries out it gets stiff. There are too many things to list that could happen to your clothes that could explain the scratches on your phone. And then there is the absolute confidence you have in stating that there is no way you missed the hole when trying to plug it in. Yeah. I feel ya man. I never miss the hole either. Give me a break. It happens. Aluminum is a very soft metal. Die cutting the edges and polishing them to a brilliant shine only serves to make them more delicate. If it has scratches on it, YOU did it. Not the delivery guy, not the manufacturers packaging. Yes, it could have been scratched in the packing plant but it is highly unlikely and as I take it, you would have noticed it sooner. You don't like the metal edge. We get it. You cant make everyone happy every time.

Lol it was like that out of box so it wasn't in my pockets. I have had three separate brand new note 4's and all three had this issue out of box . One was a replacement and returned both since I wasted to ditch t-mobile and the third one was Verizon's and they all was scratched out of box

I have had 2 Note 4's, not a scratch until I put one on it. I have friends that have Note 4's that are still pristine after 3 months. I have looked at them in big box stores. The Best Buy people took one out of a box for me when I was shopping for it, not a scratch. You, Sir, have bad luck.

I haven't noticed any scratches in the few times I've taken my Note 4 out of its case. ...and I hope I don't notice any.
