Scratches on side of iphone

Eventhough I have been using a case since I have my iphone, it seems to be having scratches on the sides. I don’t understand how? I clean my iphone and case with a microfiber towel once 3/4 weeks. The scratches makes no sense since i have never used it without a case..

Does the case actually cover the scratched area? I have noticed that since iPhones now have large exposed areas because of ports and camera lenses, they are not as protected by cases which need to leave those areas free. Have you also cleaned the inside of the case? If something gets in there I could see having a case could actually make things worse by holding something abrasive against the iPhone.
