^ i initially thought the same thing, but vernis is actually somewhat durable. it's pretty resistant to scratches. and yeah as John said, you just need to be careful about color transfer. so if you have a wallet or cles i'd suggest keeping it in its dustbag while in another bag, because ink (from pens, magazines), dye from interior, purseket or what not can rub off on it. the darker colors like amarante and pomme have less issues with color transfer.
i've had my vernis Rosewood in amarante for about 2 months now, and have used it probably ~20 times. the vernis is holding up great. i did get some scuffs on it recently but i was able to remove it (see my other thread) in this sub-form. You do occasionaly see tiny scratches that look like pin marks but they are very subtle and not very noticeable.
