White 920 - white finish chipping off around camera area

[Ed Boland]

Just noticed this this morning.. I'll try to take/post a pic later, but the glossy finish of my white Lumia 920 is starting to chip away around the rear camera (the Carl Zeiss thing). Kinda bummed out about it, as I've been bragging about Nokia's otherwise outstanding build quality.

I do have insurance on this beast though!

Anyone else having this issue? I don't have a case or cover for my 920.. Been naked since day one. Phone's about two months old now.

I've had mine for about a month now, and nothing going on like that (white glossy as well). I'd say, time to try a return/replacement, and if that doesn't work out, try the insurance route.

I'll have to dust off the ole iPhone 4 when I get home this evening to take a picture of it.

I love my lumia 920 as much as anybody else but I think maybe its time we all stop bragging about Nokia's build quality. Nearly everyone on this forum has received at least 1 warranty replacement. There are so many different manufacturing issues its dizzying. I have to wonder how many of their touted 4.4 million sales were swallowed with all these warranty returns. My wife and I will have consumed 6 units between us.

Well, that's an attempt at "sharing" a SkyDrive picture^^ For some reason, my Photobucket app isn't working right this morning. Imagine that.... Errrghh

Alright, I had to boot up the PC to post these pics.. trying to "share" them with the phone/skydrive was about to drive me bat**** insane..

Are these phones painted or is the polycarbonate the same color all the way through?

I haven't had a single one, and I'm pretty hard on my electronics (I think I've dropped this phone at least daily since I got it).

Huh. That's odd. Have you talked to the retailer from where you bought it?

 

[Ed Boland]

Well.... I was all worried about the white finish chipping off the back of my 920, then tonight it slid off my lap from a seated position, fell 2 feet onto a ceramic tile floor and completely SHATTERED the screen!

 

[Ed Boland]

Guess I'll be utilizing that insurance after all..

And when I pick up my new 920, I'll buy an Otterbox for the damn thing! (or something)

Dang! Great way to have that accident considering the situation you are in. lol. kiddin'

It seems like the high-gloss finish is wearing off. My black Lumia is also slightly disappointing. The Lens cover (Carl-Zeiss thingy) has scratches around the edges and the screen has one very light scratch already. Been through it for about 2 weeks. Casing hasn't arrived from HK yet..

When I go into the at&t store today.. they better have a brand new one to give me.
