Can you explain what you mean by "weathers certain things"?
Also, has anyone who has had a matte phone ever had problems with the finish wearing off after awhile? That's my only concern with getting matte black or grey.
I never have with my previous phones, but the matte on the Lumia 920 isn't really the run of the mill black plastic finish.
I dont know how to describe it, the first word that comes into my mind is "graphite", even if that has like nothing at all to do with anything. It has a fairly similar finish than my Razer Imperator mouse on top.. It's like this.. non-sticky a bit rubber'ish finish. I really have no idea how to explain it, but it's really nice. The glossy plastic has it's very distinct feel as well and cant really match the feeling of the matte black at least for me.
But as a matte black this doesn't resemble any earlier phone I've used.
