Not to minimize your issues, but I have two bands (medium and large) that I've had since November, both with zero issues (knocks on wood). No rubber peeling, screens fine, no bubbling around charge connectors, clasps still work fine. There are no doubt problems with quality control, but I don't think any worse than any tech product. Frankly, with something worn pretty much 24x7, worn during workouts, and mine are worn while working at a pretty physical job, I expected a lot worse, particularly with a first generation product.
