"Apple is currently going through "scratchgate" with its iPhone 17 Pro series but how does the regular iPhone 17 fare? Well, much better thanks to its back glass, which is etched in a soft-touch material. YouTuber JerryRigEverything exposed the iPhone 17 to his signature durability test and tried his best to scratch the device with all sorts of minerals. With no sharp anodized aluminum edges on the camera island, the iPhone 17 is much less susceptible to scratches."
"The scratch test included close encounters with various metal objects, including aluminum, stainless steel and titanium rods, as well as silver and gold coins and some copper wire. The soft-touch glass back of the phone held up surprisingly well, with only minor scratches from harder materials, such as aluminum and titanium. Unsurprisingly, the Ceramic Shield 2 glass on the front fared just as well as it did on the iPhone 17 Pro models, showing slight scratches at a level 7 on the Mohs hardness scale."

The lack of sharp anodized aluminum edges on the camera island reduces susceptibility to surface scratches. The Ceramic Shield 2 front glass showed slight scratches at level 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. The device also survived a bend test without issue.
