Your phone cover probably had moisture or some kind of liquid on it.

Dust and particles always get into a cover. And there it acts like a great polishing agent.

I gave the Jet Black one look and decided on the Matte Black. No micro abrasions anywhere and still looks perfect!

Matte Black reminded me too much of the Slate IPhone 5.

Jet Black reminded me how many micro abrasions it would get in a matter of days and how terrible it would look after having it for a short time.
Considering even Apple cautioned about micro abrasions (scratching/scuffing) meant that Apple had not done anything to prevent it.
Edit: Don't get me wrong, Jet Black is beautiful, but until Apple are able to eliminate the micro abrasions, I will stick to Matte Black

Got the same issue on my space-grey iPhone 5S. You could possibly use something like Brasso. Just note that "It is a mild solvent and an extremely fine abrasive" so there's a risk that it could make things worse.

Following your logic, they don't make phones, either.
But you can buy Apple covers here:

You really cant see it unless you look at it under perfect lighting. Anyway, the fingerprints cover the scratches up.

Yup and that's the other reason I didn't go for Jet Black. Fingerprints. So not only does it scratch easily but it also looks horrible from the fingerprints and you have to keep wiping it to make it look nice. No thanks. Will still stick to Matte Black until Apple fixes these issues.
Since when has fingerprints become an issue? I mean the touch screen is already plastered with the stuff...

Difference is that you don't see the fingerprints when the screen is on. It's only when it's off that you see it.
To each his own then. I can't be bothered with fingerprints and scratches.

Exactly. I'm not bashing the Jet Black at all. It's beautiful. Just for me it wasn't what I wanted based on these issues. I'm OCD like this, if I have a brand new iPhone and it looks like Iv had it for 10 years then I'm not going to be a happy chappy at all.
Lol. I get a new one every year so it doesn't really bother me.
