Dirt buildup between screen and edge and paint coming off already!

sundevil07 · #1 (**permalink**) 07-05-2011, 01:00 AM

Is anyone else starting to get dirt/dust buildup in the seams around the screen edges? I tried to get some of it out with my fingernail and the darn black paint even came off the edge of the phone and now i have silver edges with no paint in some places. Yeah i keep my phone in my pocket, but this is just unacceptable after 1 week.

I have not seen anything on mine. If it were me I would return it for a new one, I'm just saying because we pay for quality right?

Yeah, I can understand the dust... But paint coming off. Nah... That shit would be back with Sprint in a heartbeat. No questions asked.

Exactly dude. Exactly! If this thing were 100% free and no contract... I would still take it back.

I didn't notice it until you just posted this. I looked at my phone and there is a small dot where the paint has chipped off my phone on the edge and in the same spot, dirt buildup. Mine is minimal but I will be returning it for a new one as well. Ridiculous! This phone should be a lot better quality than that!

I have that premium cover from best buy that is 2 pieces and slides on n off. No paint stuffs at all, and I've been taking it off a lot to test batteries.

I have the zagg screen cover and otter box case cover . I do keep my phone in my pocket and I just clean my screen with a micro cloth when it gets dusty but I'm not having the paint problem yet and hopefully I won't , but thanx for the heads up .

dang, that is pretty bad considering its only days old. Mine is getting worse by the day.

FYI to others; look at your device under flourescent light, it really shows how much buildup is accumulating between the glass and the bezel.

Had mine since the 22nd.. and I haven't had any issues. Mine stays in my pocket mostly. Also has no protective casing.
