Is it normal for my speck case of my iPhone 5 to have a lot of scratches?

I had it for a week and its all scratches up. Is there any way to hide the scratches or has anybody had this happen to them

I have a speck case on my old iPhone3 and it's a bit banged up, but I drop it all the time.

I have a black candyshell grip on my iPhone 5. The case is scratched to ***. That's normal for dark colour cases though. Nothing out of the ordinary
