Just thought about this comment now. I kept all my iPhone in pocket together with keys never cared for scratches and never seen any. On iphone4, iphone5, iphone6. Now im typing this message on horribly scratched iphone8 screen done with same set of key that i carried my old iphone in the same pocket. That’s sad. And few days ago i just discovered my old iphone4. Soeaker on it still plays smooth with strong bass. Speaker on my iphone8 sounds like cheap crap already after 6 months of ownership. Darn things really went south without Jobs around.

If you don't mind me asking, why did you change from that iPhone 4/5/6 which withstood those keys so well and still sound good? I'm still using a device from the iPhone 4 era - not an iPhone though - which still works fine and continues to be useable as an 'outdoor' phone due to its smaller size and the fact that it is waterproof. I was only forced to get a newer device about a year ago due to the fact that the Swedish electronic ID app - without which it is getting harder and harder to interact with many government services - stopped supporting Android 4.4, otherwise that phone would have remained my 'daily' device.
