I doubt it but you never know. However the original iPhone's aluminum back scuffed too, and it never bothered me one bit. Same with my iPad. I expect it will be a bit more noticible on the 5 as I got the black one, but at the end of the day I have much more important things to think about than some scratched aluminum. More to the point, Apple tends to go for simple design and ignores fashion trends. They have the colored iPods but that's more to appeal to kids and people that want a little more personalization rather than because yellow and green are in. Also, I'm going to slap the next pundit that refers to this as "scuffgate". Protip, guys: Watergate was a proper noun, not a random mashing-together of words.
