droid finish scratches to easily

[Psychokitty]

Mine looks like I put it in a blender lol. My camera button and back look great though. One thing is the d-pad like a week in starting peeling away where it lights up and looks like a piece of the light is gone because it is black in spots now! I am very nice to my electronics and this is the first I have ever owned that showed such use. I dropped my storm on concrete a lot and never had issues like this.

Huh? Not even in different paragraphs!

Mine's in really good shape, considering it has no cover. It lives in a belt holster. It has a TINY nick on the bezel, and the gold foil is peeling off the camera button. Otherwise it looks brand new.

Different paragraphs??? That entry is not even long enough to be considered one paragraph? I guess I should clarify what I said? I am very nice to my electronics and used to have the storm (blackberry) and dropped it on concrete all the time and never had these scratching issues!!! I will rephrase if needed. Sorry for the pissed off response but I do not get why you need to critique things like my college English professor critiques our drafts.

The point was (as I understand it): how can you say you are "very nice to your electronics" if you "dropped your Storm on concrete a lot".

Don't bother being nice to me, in other words...

What the heck are you guys doing with your phones to chew it up so badly! I agree that scratches do happen, but it is what it is. Better than soft plastic and it gouging so easily.

Totally agree, what do you all expect? Premium auto-quality primer, paint and clear coat to boot? It's metal with a layer of paint on top of it, it will get some scratches with time. With that said, mine is scratched only because I dropped the damn thing so many times already. It lives in my pocket and has no body protection. Considering what I already put it through, it has held up extremely well.

I'm going to get some nail polish or black auto touch up paint and fix it up a bit.

I get ti. I'm sorry I am just a little stressed from writing these English essays for finals in case you couldn't tell hehe. I am nice to my stuff and my storm was the exception maybe because I was getting tired of it lol.

I'll have to agree a bit about the finish.. when I dropped my phone in my wet driveway and stepped on it before I knew what happened.. well, I scratched some of the finish off in one corner. Whoopie-doo! It survived the rainy concrete and a 230lber standing on it.

Let your pocket change eat your phone, it would appear mine was made from Kevlar and Titanium!
