Oh man, this is bad! How could these units pass QC? I think we all agree we expect better from Apple for a premium product.

Now I'm worried about my phone which I've ordered from the online store

that was terrible.
sad for apple, sorry for you, dude.

There's one YouTube video showing an owner of a black iphone 5 with the scuffing problem right out of the box and his solution is to use sand paper to polish the affected edges resulting in a shiny exposed aluminium edge.

Not suggesting everyone to do this but if you can't exchange or the paint is slowing wearing off and is a pain to your eyes, this might be an option.

Besides the yellowish display, i have checked on few iPhones 5 and feel that the standby button not as firm as compared to 4 and 4s.. the clicking sound on the button not as smooth thou...u guys realized that?

@SolId SnaKe,
No problem with mine; in fact my i5 Home Button is much better than the earlier one!

Wow, got a link? I'm interested in seeing a black 5 with shiny edges!

bro, couple of posts up.

Hmmm just found a little scuff on my black one. But I knocked it on so many things already, my monitor, my car, my table



Alright, found it!

I think my 4s home button is still super good

Cause I keep using assistive touch even when playing games

I5 also I did the same as well
Lol

This is the scuff noted at my iPhone 5.
Need enlarge and see it, very tiny dot.
Hope later not get worse.

owhh not the home button... i meant the standby button at the top

My Black 32GB - Maxis set got scuffgate...at least 3 spots..so sad..what can i do??

Buy a case, forget about it can't wait for my Linear EX.

U direct by from spygen website? no afraid of being tax? Total how much?

When i bought it, no scuffgate..

i did put it in a case from the 1st day i have it..

when i pull it out from my case, scuffgate spotted..

that means simple pulling motion from the case will create a scuffgate to yr phone..

i think sooner or later, scuffgate will spread all over the phone..

I just bought it for 7 days only..>.<

y this phone so expensive but got this kind of problem gah?!!! haiz

this is natural for the aluminum finish.

well said.. =.=''


so regret to buy black coz the scuffgate is quite visible >.<
