Home button paint peel

[bassplayrguy]

Anyone have the paint peeling off of your home button/fingerprint scanner? I have a strip down the middle of the button where the paint has chipped off. It doesn't seem to affect the scanner but I wonder if I will get dinged trading in for the Note 7.

My husband has had his since launch and he doesn't have any problems like that. That stinks. Are you planning to trade through your carrier or best buy or something like Gazelle?

Are you sure that's not the temporary peel-off button-cover that the phone comes with?

I plan on trading it in when the Note 7 comes out through ATT. It is definitely the paint coming off unfortunately. I could probably get one sent to me through warranty but I hate refurbs. I have had terrible luck with them.

My wife and I have had Verizon Note 5's since last fall, and the home button gets heavily used daily. So far have not experienced paint peeling. Sounds like your phone may have had a defective button paint coating.

If I get the Note 7, plan to keep the Note 5 as a backup phone.
