Be safe and put a case on it... don't have a case then don't complain if it gets scratched up

I actually put a case on since day 1 and recently when I took it off to put a new screen protector on, I see that there are scratches along the aluminum. Not surprised being I've read this is a common issue with the Note 4. Whatever.

No case for my Note 4 in the two months or so I've owned. No scratches either; it has held up very well.

Those pictures are not clear enough to see what the materials are.Take the back of the phone off or look at the S pen socket. You can clearly see the seam of the aluminum layer on top of the plastic on the side of the phone. That to me is convincing. Furthermore, many people have reported damage to the aluminum strips, while there has been no reported damage to the colored portion. Even a coated aluminum pan will scratch so color will come off. The reason nobody is damaging the colored portion of the sides is because it is plastic colored through and through.

Paint falling off on my camera lins. The phone is about 3 weeks old. I use Samsung protective cover all the time. Anyone else have this problem?

I have a Note 4 with paint chipping off . I have taken it back to Car phone and they wouldn't do anything as its a manufactures fault. I have called Samsung and their engineers need to examine before they can comment. It doesn't necessary mean i will get a new phone they might put it to wear and tear. Considering I have only had the phone since May 2015 its pretty disgusting and its not only me with this problem, there are other people having the same issue but Samsung will not to take responsibility and help. I never will buy a Samsung again.

Michael.

I'm on my second Note 4 (by choice, not defect) and have not had any paint chipping issues. The chamfered edge scratches easily but I expect that and it doesn't bother me. It's just light scratches.

Yeah same here, I don't bother with a case either.
