There are definitely some very small surface scratches on my unprotected iPod Touch. None of them are visible when the thing is turned on, so I don't care.
As for the back, I'm almost liking the burnished/patina look that its developing - it gives the device some street cred, like a vintage guitar where you can see the wear from playing (not those faux vintage guitars you can buy - that's just wrong, besides being visible fake). Two or three scratches look bad. A thousand small ones looks OK.
