:shocked:I have this problem aswell will the warrenty cover it?

 

[LBLEIJE]

Yep. Having this problem also but only at one tiny spot.

I am using a flip case for the phone, so it is protected from wear caused by jeans and so on.

Same here, for no more than a month after I bought the phone. Awful, but now I've got a case. NEVER BUY WINDOWS PHONE.

The problem is not with Windows Phone, but HTC's manufacturing process.

This is a typical problem with HTC phones. Someone just the other day was discussing it happening to his 8X in that forum. Stories about this make me so glad I didn't jump on the HTC bandwagon and that I stuck with Nokia, which has been so trusty and reliable for me over the years.

Sigh, its like saying "I'lll never buy Windows XP/Vista/7/8 because my Samsung/Acer/Asus/Lenovo/HP/Dell laptop underperforms and hangs every 2 minutes."

Really?

Really?

The average consumer likes to throw rocks instantly when something doesn't work according to plan. I really don't see the connection between Windows Phone and the peeling paint on the 8S.

Why you dissing on the OS? Its not MSFT's fault you bought your phone from a company thats known for selling cheap ^&%^.

I am happy that Nokia chose polycarbonate.

The HTC one is doing this as well

HTC used polycarbonate as well for the 8s and 8x but it has a soft rubber coating on top, and that is pealing off apparently, but i don't have any issues with mine. I am using a flip case and it looks brand new, no scratches or dents.

My "Domino" (black/white) 8S is now almost 6 months old, has never been kept in a case and still looks brand new, despite having been dropped a few times and spending hours a day in my pocket or in my panniers. What colours are others having problems with? I was thinking of getting a grey/green one as a back-up as they are going for $198 at the moment but if it is going to peel, I'll give it a miss.

I have 8X nad same problem, but on corner. I bought a case and it is not visible.

What's your problem? It's HTC's fault not Microsoft.

Nokia peels as well although technicians told us that it's not normal and should be taken to Nokia Care
