Does the iPhone 5 easily scratch?

Hopefully I'm going to be buying an Apple iPhone 5. However, I really want the black one but I heard the colour was painted on, therefore it scratches off easily. Is that true? If so, is there some protective shielding I can buy to stop that. I have a screen protector for the front, but that doesn't cover the parts reported to scratch.

Any ideas?

Why not go for the white and silver model? I have it and there are no scratches on it whatsoever, and I doubt it will because unlike the black and slate model it's just pure aluminium, not anodised.

Either way its aluminum, I don't mind scratches as long as it won't crack if dropped. The screen could crack if it hits wrong but the body never will.
