Sprint TP2 Paint Flaking off edges - Page 3

I'm with Telus and I have taken very good care of my TP2. I can't think of anything I am doing that would have caused the problem but I definitely have the Grey shiny edge around the screen starting to have chips in it. I too wear tinfoil pants but never put my TP2 in my pocket.

Nothing wrong with my phone. I keep it in my pocket (with nothing else in that pocket) and no case. Although I am considering getting a case because my phone will probably soon follow with your issue...

just get a case for your belt and everything will be fine..im sure this has to be how you treat your phone..it cant be from where at tear or anything like that..the paint looks to be very thick and even has a clear coat on it..i cant even see it chipping for any reason unless you have hands rough like a gorilla lol..then just buy some GLOVES haha..sorry for the people with this issue

im not sure all of us agree that the belt holster geek look is the way to go especially if we want to propagate the human race ... and although you claim it cant be from wear and tear because the "paint is thick and even has a clear coat" this many people chiming in saying that they have the problem point more towards there actualy being a problem as opposed to so many of us having "gorilla hands" lol

When i put my phone in my pocket, i don't put anything in that pocket except the phone. Putting keys and change? That sounds like a terrible idea.

I have same problem as OP. I have 3 small paint chips about the size of pin head. I take care of my phone very well. I never take it out of the leather case unless I had to answer my calls.

It must be more than coincidence when most people are having paint issues are having it in the edges next to the region where LCD ends.

for those having issues having paint problem, how long did you have the phone until you noticed the problem and what is the manuf dates of your phone??

i am worried my phone may have it too...

do you guys use a hard case around it?? do you guys have sweaty palms?? did you guys accidentally spill alcohol on the phone??

thanks

What's wrong with that? I have no idea why people say the mauve was a bad choice. Even CNET said the color was bad. What are people talking about? I don't need a jet black phone or something outrageously whacky enough for people in a meeting to assume I have a clown phone.
