LG VX-8600 / AX-8600

I just got this phone as a gift and I am wondering if the phone casing scratches easily. The phone is so pretty that I don't want to cover it up with a case or stickers...so far I still have the manufacturer's stickers on the outside. I am not so concerned about fingerprints, but I have a 1st generation iPod nano that looks terrible because it is covered in scratches...seems to be the same material as this phone. Thanks for your help!
