Aluminum accent color wearing off already

[deadpenguins]

Has anyone else with a colored accent noticed any wear on the back where they place their finger? I just noticed the flat area around the dimple is almost completely work away on one side (I have blue). This thing is barely 2 months old, so I'm very unhappy!

Now I feel like I can't rest my finger on the dimple anymore

Mine looks new, also blue; a little more than 2 months old. Weird. Hope mine stays this way.

Champagne accents still look the same as day 1.

Same here. Mine looks exactly how it looked the first day I got the device. I even tried to scratch it with my fingernail to see what would happen and it still didn't have any scratches appear.

Scratching doesn't do anything in or around the faded blue on mine either. Really disappointed to see this at all, let alone so soon. I guess I just hope it doesn't get any worse!

Could you post a picture?

Here's a strange question, but could it have something to do with the metal reacting to your skin, sort of like how some people can't wear certain types of jewelry because it turns their skin green. If it does, and you use the phone pressed up against your skin, what about trying to use the phone with earbuds instead, just to see if the fading stays the same?

Sorry, it's been a busy week. I will try to post a picture later tonight.

In your analogy, it is the human reacting to the material, and in my situation it's the material "reacting" to the human. Are you suggesting the oils of my skin are different than other's?

I'm not sure what you're saying about ear buds, as the fading I'm experiencing is happening in the metal dimple on the back, not the speakers on the front. I have, however, tried to put my finger in the dimple less often, but it's very hard to do unless I'm actively avoiding it.

I'm sorry, my mistake. I thought you meant the speakers, not the back. (Obviously, my speed reading abilities suck).
