I wish I could say that. I have bastardized my phone to the fullest this time. I thought I'd be pseudo careful and not really care too much and keep it naked without coating it with one of those whole-body film protectors. I thought I'd keep it in my regular belt phone holder and I'd be good. But after a few months and looking at it repeatedly, yeeaaaa..I'll have a whole different outlook on my next purchase. Can I find on of those phone repair shops and have the bezel replaced? It really needs it.
I don't believe if you left that phone on a table it would just lose colour by itself. Sure, nicking on the bezel is much easier compared to the iPhone 4 but seriously, during the few months you used it, did you not stop and think, hmm, every time I hit the phone on something, a little colour comes off so I should be more careful and not treat it the same as I have treated other phones?
