Examples
The iPhone Air is so incredibly thin that you might actually lose the 'scratchgate' scuffs in a single fiber of denim.
Apple had to scrub the finger-pinch gesture from their marketing campaign, proving that even a device as thin as the Air can accidentally start a cultural firestorm.
I bought the iPhone Air for its sleek design, but I find myself handling it like a piece of vintage glass to avoid those infamous scuff marks.
