I've been using it for about a month after attaching the key. There are fine scratches overall, but no noticeable scratches or stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a pristine or perfect item, as it has been in someone else's hands once. I will protect it and ship it via Yu-Packet Post Mini.
