OtterBox Defect?

Yea that was my thread. I've gotten to the point that I'm fairly certain the "residue" is actually very fine microscratching. On mine, I am able to get the marks to disappear when the phone is totally clean, and for the most part they've worn to not being super evident even when dirty. But if the oil from my fingers collects around the touchID (which happens a lot given that it's a fingerprint sensor), I can still see the marks. Otterbox customer service was awful about it. I get that they don't extend a warranty to a non-Otterbox product, but they need to do something because the case is damaging phones. All they wanted to do was replace the case. No thanks.
If you don't intent to throw your phone into a rock quarry, Incipio makes excellent cases.
even on my 4 the phone looked dirty when I took it out of the defender, its rock solid but the silicone attracks dust and it gets in the case
