I have the Phantom 410 Black and Orange edition.

 

I do have scratches on mine. The 5.25" bays have thumscrews to hold an optical drive in position. I wasn't careful enough with the screws and ended up scratching the side of the metal. Fortunately I keep my case below the table so I am not bothered by it, but if I wanted to, I could paint over it or put black tape over it - the colours could blend in easily.

 

Frankly though, it is easy to avoid, just don't rush the build.

 

All in all. the case does not scratch easily! Not from what I have seen so far.

 

It's a great case with great airflow!

Excuse the camera quality but yeah, two and a half years and I still haven't scratched my case. And that side panel has been taken off and put on a tile floor more times than I can remember.

haha yeah.

 

From the pic you linked to, I gathered that the finish on the case was cheap/really poor. The gloss on the 410 will not scratch easily. Unless you get a knife and start stabbing the case Or dragging a screwdriver across it.

The finish on it is pretty nice.
