Paul Schiller of Apple had said such scuff issues normal. His reply
Any aluminum product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color. That is normal.


So buyers check properly first before taking it back . Buy a casing to protect it

I would say is not QC problem but problem with the choice of material used in the casing
So all users should immediately protect it. My place not much choices of casings ( was looking for a leather flip type case). So temporary i used a cheap PU soft type back cover ( cost only RM 16) to protect it while looking for a better one when I am in KL next month

it is a 50/50 luck on your side to get a scuff free set. Even those from telcos many users do get scuff free too

I just trade in my Iphone 5 due to some manufacturer defects.

Personally, I faced battery , wifi, camera problems.
Please check your phone if you found these problems.

1) Battery drain very fast even in standby time.
2) wifi signal is very very weak compare to your tablet or other phone, the distance must be kept within 3 m to get full bar.

3) GOt sounds when u lightly shake your iphone, rattling problems.

4) Camera experienced purple glare during indoor shooting with external lighting.
Reference:

Spread this if your friend is using ip5.

So sad, Xmas no phone use T^T

BEsides, MAxis still told me I may bear the risk to pay RM700 if my phone is found no error.
WTH, RM700??

Fed up with MAXIS!!!!!

Bro, seriously when u shake it no sound at all??

Any other forummers please help me?

IS it some of the phones only experience this issue or by default all ip5 model got rattling sounds?
*
Rattling sound none no matter how hard I shake it. This only affect some users
Battery strength is lower n display gets warm fast with use vs my note 2
WiFi so far OK no serious problems
Camera purple glare very slight n I read is default characteristics of this phone. Seriousness depends on lighting condition. I can accept as very minor n does not occur everytime

I am presently using those PU leather type flip top casing. Very cheap only RM50+
day 1-4 was using those cheap PU soft gel type back casing ( RM 15 only)
Good protection - it clips well on top and even drop ( twice already ) the phone is still holding up well inside case
