This is a big step forward from the chrome plastic on the Note 3 that chipped easily. .
I am sad to say that the "polished edges" are rubbing off where I hold the phone most (back bottom corners where it rests in my hand and back bottom middle where my pinky finger balances the phone for one handed use). It is showing a dark dingy gray aluminum. I've had the phone for a month and this is what happens?
If anyone else is having this issue, register for this forum and post your experience. I chose my note 4 over a 6 Plus because supposedly Samsung finally made a step toward quality and it turns out it's smoke and mirrors. It's Chrome Painted aluminum and before long your edges will no longer reflect light and shine. They will be dark gray aluminun, not "polished aluminum". I'm pissed.
