I carry mine daily but in a slip case. It still looks like it came out of the box.
Weird. I guess they might use some different material than on original Surface RT? I've had my Surface RT since it originally became available. It travels a lot with me and at home it's also functioning as "just a tablet" and it's still totally pristine outside fingerprints. That said.. I guess I often set it down on the kickstand when not in use and if not with kickstand, I often have the touchcover folder back between the table and the Surface.. but still, over a year of like everyday use and still totally pristine.
I'm not sure but i believe they use different oem manufacturers in different regions.So, I am not sure what's the issue - why some units are OK while others are not assuming the same of similar handling conditions.

For example my surface internal storage is made by samsung (as per device manager)
Some other users said their surface has a hynix emmc module.
So could be a quality issue for particular region.
My surface was purchased in London, although i'm using it here in India.
