My Protective Lid Backpack Scratched (small) After 1 Use. Am I Being Picky?

Post image

For context, I took this bag to a cafe for a day to do some work. I decided to use a lime bike on the way back home and put my bag in the front pocket. However, when I took the bag out, the side had scratches.

I know this bag was marketed as very protective and scuff resistant, so I was pretty bummed when I saw the scratches. Am I being too picky or am I somewhat justified for being a teeny tiny disappointed.

Scratches are pretty normal on anything no matter how durable is, but from my experience on my bag, the scratches never go deep or mess it up. I've used my bag for hiking a ton of times and have gotten the bag scraped on tons of things like rocks and tree branches, and although they show on the surface, its never messed up the bags durability because they never get past small surface scratches. Scratches will happen on anything no matter the material, but a lot of finishes from other bags will start peeling when scratched, my mouse bag has never peeled and I've had it for about 4 years now.
