For the love of God, please stop calling it paint. It's not paint. It's anodized aluminum. It's nothing like paint, it's not a type of paint, it's not a dye. It is a chemical treatment intended to give the metal increased corrosion resistance and cosmetic appeal.
The problem isn't that it's anodized, or that it's anodized poorly. It's that it's black. All aluminum scratches and flakes away if cut too thin (like the chamfered edges). It's not a problem if it's a light color or the natural silver. When it's black, you can't help but see every single imperfection.
Makes sense!

Seriously. It's your product now. I don't put my device in a situation where will get bruised, scuffed, scratched or even insulted. On the rare occasions I have, I marvel at how well it holds up. And if it does suffer some cosmetic damage, I know it's my own fault. How many cars can you bump without getting a scuff on your bumper?
My issue was i never scrached or bumped it etc. it was 4 days old, no one but me touched it and my ipad 2 is now 6mts old with no scuffs scratches etc
My particular model was simply of poor built quality. Was just wondering if anyone else had an issue like that since i read some complaints on the net of very similar cases

They didn't take mine back :/
Guess it depends on the shop. Sorry to hear that. I was stressing out about if they take mine back but i guess they saw my point when they looked at it cause there was not a single scratch, just the coating coming off round the edges
