Chips in Chrome Piece around Pebble Blue SIII

[kbrouwer1]

I've had my Pebble Blue Galaxy S3 for about three months now (March) and took a close look at it this morning and noticed quite a few small but noticeable chips on the light blue/blue gray band around the phone (not the battery door.) Some on top and one or two on the bottom near the microphone. I bought this device privately therefore am hesitant to contact Verizon about a warranty. I have this thing where once I notice something like these chips, I cannot stop thinking about how they're there. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove them? I did speak with Samsung but they said it would cost around seventy dollars to replace the body so I'd like to try to avoid that for now.

Please let me know what could do ASAP so I can get this off my mind, lol.

Thanks

Only suggestion I can come up with is to put a case on it that covers them up.

I have a flip cover coming tomorrow. As I said, I did have a case on it but the case broke, that's why I had to take it off. However, this was just today so I don't see what could have caused it. Even is I have a case, it still bothers me that there are chips on the phone :/.

Thanks for your input.

If anyone else has input that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A hypnotist is the only suggestion I can make - "these aren't the chips you're looking for - move on"

Other than what Samsung has already stated to you or as posted above use a case to hide it. Cosmetic is not covered by Warranty.

Had mine for a year did the same thing it looks like chrome but rub it with your finger it turns black. Nothing you can do it just gives it a "fingerprint" so no one can try and steal it cause you know what it looks like

Honestly, the only thing you could do would be to take some wet sandpaper (it's very fine grained, and as the name implies it's intended to be used wet) and use that to scuff off the dents. Depending on how patient and careful you are you may end up with a decent looking surface.
