Thanks for the heads up. Just pre-ordered the stainless steel version in blue. I heard the original was good, but the build quality made it the kind of mod that you didn't want to drop. I probably don't have to worry about that now though. I have a feeling it's going to be kind of like the back of the classic ipods though; super shiny brand new when you get it but a complete scratch magnet so a month later you get your own personalized design of scratches.
