How are everyone's phones holding up? Does the black look awful over time? I am philosophically opposed to using a case, so keep that in mind.

Side note: I thought they felt way too light. Plasticy. Prefer the feel and look of the 4. Oh well.
Felt light to me for a day or two as well - you'll probably get over it quickly. Now the 4 just feels bulky.

I baby all my gadgets - my iPhone5 goes from hand to pants pocket and nowhere else, except to charge, where it sits on a microfiber headphone case.

It's got about a dozen "nicks" in the bezel that few would notice but me, and it drives me crazy. The only thing I can even think of that would have caused it is my wedding ring, but like I said I'm very careful with it. Very light, unintentional contact with the ring at most. I do not think it will hold up well over time.
