Agreed. It isn't fake. Calling all devices that have peeling "paint" fake is absurd.

i have the same effect on one of the bottom edge of the phone. Grayish color. Luckily its not very visible. I think i banged it when it fell from my pocket to a hard surface in my car.

China. Bought it from Singapore, imported to US.

.
Mine is also Made in China, all those released in Asia are. Dont think it's got to do with where it's made.
Could be the chemicals at your workplace cos my N9 still looks pretty black & nice. Had it since 1st release (how many months already?) It's my pocket together with my other phone & both phones rub together a lot. It has the silicone cover on though

Well, polycarbonate don't peel. There's no other way to put it. It may crack, but it will never peel. But - acetone could maybe give the appearance of peeling. Acetone will soften the PC, liquefy it even. Then the softened material can be scratched off by your nails or by any other sharpish instrument. Even so you would need a fair amount of acetone, and acetone on your hands evaporates within seconds. Besides, it the LED is also PC, and most likely the camera lens, why aren't they affected?

Naah, your devices are fake, made of cheap plastic. Just accept it. It would be nice though to see statistics on peeling incidents vs land of manufacturing, or peeling incidents vs reseller.

Are you demented? This polycarbonate has a special sprayed paint layer :rolleyes:

Do you have any proof? Asking for it and not giving any is quite the odd stance.

Yes of course, the evidence are a few claimed covers from customers.
By those covers only the first matt paint layer is peeled off - that is all the next layer below does not peel off at all,Mr.genius!

Is it now. Well, I was not the one who pulled a sprayed paint layer out of my hat.

A dubious cover up story from a Nokia Care person is no proof of anything. I take this as a NO to my question above.
