Mine was perfect when I got it. After a week or 2 use, the black paint from the sides came off!!!

Note, I am very careful. Left side of jeans only for IP nothing else, no keys or coins.

This means, it is prone to scuffing... it doesn't matter if you get a good one. I hate cases and never used one on my IP4, but looks like I need one with IP5. I however laminated the back. But the sides are unprotected.

From googling, it seems that the only way is to get a marker, this one is recommended: http://scuffgate.net/how-to-repair-a-scuffed-iphone-5/

Anyone know where to get this? Please report if so.

Steve jobs goes, and quality goes as well...

For those who hate cases.. for IP5... there is no choice... . Just found a 3rd spot on my black IP5 where some silver is starting to show...

Ok, 4th scratch on the IP5 even with casing. It's the slim case where bottom and top are expose.

Does anyone know, if lowyat mall offers repair for scratches yet? If not, someone should open a booth to offer scratch repair especially for IP5 black!!!
