Nokia CC-1043 is officially useless after 1 month

[Talderon]

I have had this one for a couple months now: For Nokia Lumia 920 Yellow Duo Shield Heavy Duty Hard Case Cover Clear Film | eBay

No discoloration on it at all. I am very satisfied with this case.

Not just cc-1043, most silicone cases out there has this problem, my friend's clear gel cases also turns blue because of her jeans. It is a little disappointing to see the discolouring on such beautiful case, but I guess before they find better material that can concur dust and dirt, this is the best we can get

YES...THE GUY AT MY LOCAL NOKIA SHOP SAID HE COULD ORDER A REPLACEMENT BODY FOR THE 920 FOR ?30 INCLUDING FITTING!!!

I don't even care about the scratches even more...a few months down the line I may or may not change the case. Maybe a black one before I sell it when a better Nokia comes out! Not sure how many people apart from me are brave enough to go for yellow, lol!

I have a blue and yellow and the cases are both dirty in the corners...however, I thought I was anal until I read the above...many people don't get a case at all because it messes with the look...if the corners bother you that much buy a new one and move on...not much you can do about it.


I am seriously thinking about buying a new shell for my 920 (cyan) and going that route...

"Officially useless"
Well. Since i have some discolouration on the back of my lumia i should just go ahead and throw it out since i guess it's "officially useless".

Some people aren't made of money.

I agree with you OP. This is why I stay away from light colored cases. They get dirty fast.

 

[btgusto]

My blue one is kinda doing the same but its really hard to see so.

Need a case to protect your phone, not your phone to protect your case........Need your phone clean or the case clean???

omglilol, ignore the comments from people who don't actually own a CC-1043 case and think you're over-reacting, they haven't seen the problem with their own eyes. I've had silicon cases for other phones but never seen one discolour like this. It's not the oil from your hands - if it were then the cover would discolour most where you hold it, but my cover has the worst mark at the top left, where it is not in contact with my hand when I hold the phone. Nor is it everyday dirt - if it were then everything else you put in your pockets would get filthy. If Nokia had any sense they'd admit there was a problem and deal with it - people comment on the nice colour of the case but in the same breath they ask about the black marks - first impressions count and a CC-1043 case that's more than a week old does not make a good first impression. I suggest you tweet @nokiacares and let us know if they do.

My grey case is starting to do the same thing. At this point I think it's inevitable for these cases to not have this happen. Anyway I still think the case is one of the best ones out there.

I work on old cars a lot and inevitably my cover gets dirty (I have the some one in cyan). I used brake cleaner to get the greasy fingers off mine, works like a charm.

 

[920Walker]

Chlorinated or non-chlorinated brake cleaner?

This has been happening since these type of cases came out for the 900. Had one in green, same happened. Now, the gray one I have on my 920 did this after about a week; It's hard to believe its dirt/grime, since that would likely come right off. Like a previous poster said, its like a change of color altogether... very weird.

I do not understand why this is Nokias problem if you have dirty hands, pockets or tables and such. It's dirt! It's not discolouring in the means that it has lost something, it has had something and it's called dirt, ****, crap, you name it. It will go off if you wash it, so what's the problem? I'm not gonna blame BMW when my car gets dirt. Cheez.

finally! Bravo for the enlightening and helpful insight. Thank You.

All this time its my dirty hands!?!

I just bought a car. After a week of driving it, it got really dirty. Therefore it is officially useless. I'm gonna go and throw it away now.

You can wash a car.

Yep and you can wash the case, BUT right after it got dirty. Did this few times, but after awhile thought frak this and been enjoying dirty yellow case

Tho have been rocking now cp-600.

 

[mccririck]

Yeah I think the problem with the case material is the dirt gets ingrained in the material very easily. If cars were all coated in this material just imagine what they'd all look like...
