    Hey guys, I got my i9300 last week and I have been using it ever since. What I recently noticed is that the silver aluminum below the keyboard scratches easily. I wear a watch and I try my best not to touch the surface but I have found a few small scratches. This really bothers me since I have only had it for 2 weeks and it is getting damaged just by my watch.

    I know the easy solution would be to take off my watch, but does anyone know of anything I can use for scratch prevention, like a cover or something like that. Even the white trim has a scratch or 2 which is really annoying.

    Thanks for your time.

    I assumed this would happen and I cut up an old mouse pad to cover the computer. So far no scratches. It stays put well too. I used one of those thin ones with the shinny side facing up.
