I've been carrying my phone in one of our phone cases for almost three months now. At this point, there is no wear on it that I can tell...no areas where it looks like the image is wearing away, and no scratches or scuffs. To be honest, I'm not hard on phone cases...and I think these cases are for looks, and not designed to give the phone much in the way of protection, but I've been satisfied. I will also be curious to see how it looks in another three months...but so far, so good!
