Me too. I got a 30cm birkin in ardoise swift last month, and reading this thread makes me a bit concerned. I have taken mine out only a few times, and i must confess that i went "argggghhh. holy s#%$!!!" when i saw the front flap has a scratch after I took the bag out on first day. however, the scratch rubbed out, and I see a faint shadow of the scratch only if i tried to see it under certain lighting angle.
I'm not too fussed if the scratches can be rubbed out like this, because i know that the bag will no longer be pristine anyhow as i use it more often. The more important consideration for me is weight. When the bag is empty, it is very light to hold. but after i put my wallet, keys, cell phone, make up case, a cardigan, the raincoat and a few minor items (can't put too many things in a 30cm), I felt the bag already weighed a ton. Especially since the birkin handles do not allow you to put the bag over the shoulders (unlike the JPG).
The swift is light, the leather feels awesome to the touch, and i love my bags to look slightly relaxed, so I am liking the swift so far.
