There's no paint on the X10 outside of the chrome ridges.
But yes, I noticed some chipping where I dropped the phone once. Other than that, nope.
my black x10 is loosing some paint around the notch to remove the battery :-(

Oh! Maybe you got a fake one! Ho! Ho! I've seen some fake ones while I was traveling in the East. Does your unit say's Made in China?
I got directly from a Rogers store... anyways it happens near the 2 top corners on the x10 for me. That part is now grey instead of white...

You mean the top front two corners? On my case, they are worn out, but on the phone itself, nothing. The chrome seems like it's cheap and is gone completely where I dropped the phone on the bottom, but other than that, no changes at all.
I can't think of anything except if you wear incredibly tight jeans and you're constantly inserting and removing it from your pockets. That seems to be how my case is getting worn out, heh.
Get a gel silicone case. Flexible and good to grip and hold like a soft gel case, with the protection and durability of a hard case. only 10$
also i heard that the chrome is actually plastic, can anyone confirm this. I remember reading it somewhere in one of those x10 disassemble threads.
I've had the x10 since release in the UK. It's my main phone, I don't use a case and am not that careful (although haven't dropped it on anything hard yet). I wear jeans all the time and there is no wear on the corners at all.
Looking closely at the phone, I think it's moulded black plastic and so I doubt it can get discoloured. The chrome I know can get chipped (someone on ebay sold me an x10 they had dropped, labelled as new, had to return for refund), so be careful with that. However, it hasn't worn down or anything on my phone.
It's not the Chrome part, its the corners on the front and it is turning grey

yay i finally have a white galaxy s.
Have been waiting 2 weeks or so for samsung to get the battery cover back in stock.
Am I missing something, or is it not exactly the same but with the back plastic cover being white (ignoring internals that you would never see)?

Has a chrome bezel not a bolt gun grey bezel.

Now you only have to wipe it down once a day.
Really want but don't feel like tearing down my phone that far. I had that inside casing out on the weekend, it was a big enough pain in the ass (although probably the hardest part) and would only allow me to get at the buttons, didn't have the bezel off.
I did that because there was a gap at the bottom when cover was on, turned out that interior plastic was not sitting on the the proper support inside at the bottom, it was mushed down onto the part of that brace that sticks up more. I have had a minor drop since I got the phone back from repair but given the nature of the damage I think it must have happened when the repair centre put the phone back together. Reshaped that bit of plastic and all is right again.

The chrome circle around the dell on the back of my phone came off and got sticky adhesive in my pocket. (no jokes please)
Further example of dells cheap questionable build
Ive never had a badge come off any previous phones.
Anyone else?

Yep. The second "L" dropped off mine about 2 weeks ago. I found it originally and put it back. A few days later, it was gone again...this time for good so I pulled off the "DEL" and the ring. Now my Streak has gone "commando"...kinda like the all black though...not really a "bling" person.

Hahah I'm sorry I couldnt help but laugh.
mine too,
mine reads ...Dvl missing last L and top 2 lines of E.
rubbish.
I actually took mine back to Optus and demanded a replacement - which they did Now I've got the Dell clear back cover on it, so I can't jag the logo on entry to my pocket which avoids it getting all sticky in there
clearly your dvl steak is a cheap knock-off
It happens, if you rub hard enough, even the ink would come off an iPhone's back (ones before i4 of course) Lettering on my old 3g is duller then when it was new, and I took really good care of it.
Personally i'd rather have a phone with an inset logo on metal than worry about another soft plastic phone. Perhaps you should think about intentionally peeling off the rest of the logo if it's already going. Might look good
Just took it all off now. Looks good just black embossed.
Stil dell need to make improvements for streak 2 but im def concidering buying again.

Mine too has come loose. Anyone actually called Dell and asked for a new back?
If dell don't provide the support then just turn to the web for a new back plate.

Don't want to buy one when they should fix the problem. Just wondering if anyone has tried Dell customer service to do so.
Mine came off as well. I cleaned the glue off with some windex and it looks better without the chrome!

I just last an L last week. Annoying.
My DELL Logo is gone too....doesnt look too bad but im going to visit a paintshop soon....any color/pattern/design suggestions? Will post pictures when done!
Keep having fun with the new "Deep Black" Streak
hah, I took this off the first week... I had done it on my xps years ago too.
looks better, not so flashy.
I did a little preemptive mod where I slapped a square of clear packing tape over the logo as soon as I noticed a loose 'L'
... this would look crappy but for the Otterbox case covering all of the ugly edges.
I was never a big fan of the chrome/shiny logo. I took it off my white streak at work with an exacto knife whilst reading this thread and then my black streak when I got home... Much better
Just removed mine on my red streak. I still have indents for the circle and the letters. Looks much better
Getting annoyed lately when people ask me what phone i have. I tell them it is one of 20 that can contact the president

Mine is a red Streak. The backplate is pretty loose and i was pretty drunk too. Pulled it out from my pocket, the backplate flew out. The 'D' got out. Pulled out the rest too. Its just plain red at the back now. Pretty hot.
Came off my black streak about a month ago, first the ring, then the letters, just cleaned off the glue and looks ok. Should have been printed on I guess, the backplate is pretty flexible so wasn't much chance of that logo staying put.
Has dell started servicing streaks yet? I wanted to replace the plastic housing cos its looking a bit worse for wear..
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Yeah I know the feeling. My second L did also came off.
I used the plastic from a screenprotector to cover it and it did work. Now I have a full body screenprotector....so problem solved
Any tips on touching up the chrome paint work. Dropped it getting out of the car. Scuffed the corners.
Had ordered the cover but hadn't arrived yet. Highly recommend some sort of cover before taking this beauti out.

i hate you
Wrong screen protector and it's on upside down.
of course its upsidedown? better some old screen protector than non.
Any one tips on touching up the plastic chrome edging.
Ouch. Looks like you have the wrong sized screen protector on - it looks the same as mine. Came with my Case-Mate, not sure why they provided the wrong protector. Maybe they hadn't produced the right ones yet and and thought the wrong size was better than nothing.
That my worst fear ..ouch
Too bad the didn't get rid of the crome and go all black like on the nexus s
I did this to my vibrant...did u get at store? If so just swap it. Make something up like randomly rebooting

get a black (not translucent) silicone case, and you are all set.
I did the same thing like second week I had my AT&T Captivate, did not bother me much. No phone is gonna stay scar-free forever
i just want to say:
O dear think its time to use my case

well if you want guys who have lots of paints, and who might be able to cover it, then try looking for one of them game workshop places, they have loads of paints in there and other stuff, I dropped a hd cam year ago and I passed by one of these shops and guy in there found a paint to cover it perfect.....just a thought
pray that the phone starts making awful noises and constantly reboots itself.
Then you have a reason to take it to Samsung repair centre.
The warranty i believe is 2years.
I ordered my cases from 2 ebay Us sellers and still haven't received them. Sad my phone from OK arrived first.

Hello all, I just wanted to share this with everyone. I'm loving my black one, it's absolutely perfect! At least, that's what I thought until 30 minutes ago. As you can see in the title I've been having some problems with my black one. I know there already is a thread "black one not suitable for daily use", or something similar, but a lot of posts in that thread are being treated as trolls and this is a bIt different (no dents or chipping in the corners like the others, but on the back itself)
First of all, it attracts fingerprints VERY easily. Though this is a known problem and I knew this before actually receiving it (and it isn't such a big issue for me), it is worth mentioning (again) for people who still can't decide between silver and black. For me personally, this issue is completely worth it as black is BEAUTIFUL.
Second, a bigger issue, the black is coming off. I've had it for two days (just two!!!) and I can see silver. These are just dots, and they look just like dust. At first I even thought it was dust, but that was until I tried to clean it (first with my shirt, that didn't help so then I grabbed a moist cloth, which didn't work either so I then made the already moist cloth a bit wetter. No difference! hell, I even tried soap that's how desperate I am ). I will attach a photo, but it isn't very good quality because I made it using my One and a dirty mirror. Everything I didn't circle is dust, so you can see how much it looks like dust.
Now you're probably wondering what the hell I did with it, and the answer is completely nothing abnormal. I kept it in the official case when it was going in my pocket or when I was outside, and it got out of the case in it's full glory when at home and at work during breaks. I didn't drop it, it was in my pocket with nothing else (well, just the case), and I have been extremely careful with it, I didn't even let others hold it for more than a minute. What I'm gonna do now is look if it really really really isn't just dust with some more cleaning, then I'll look if a permanent marker hides it and either way I'll buy a skin for it (not a case, I already have one, and my pouch is still on its way, but a skin like a screen protector but for the back too) any suggestions for a good one?
Anyway, this is a warning for anyone considering/owning the back wish me luck with hiding the silver!

Permanent black marker has been mentioned elsewhere, that should do it.

Yea I read that too, but my concern is that it will be another color (slightly darker/lighter) and still be noticeable. Ah well, still better than silver dots on black but it still shouldn't happen IMO. I'm starting to think the case is the cause, because it now has 2 more of those dots after taking it out of the case again

Totally agree that it shouldn't happen, especially just taking it out of a case. I have decided not to have a case for the first time ever, if I get scratches then so be it, adds character to the phone

Wow! Ok I'll be honest at first I thought the issue is only happening on the speaker grill but seeing this. If anyone other than you posted some more issues like this then I am gonna be quite dissappointed on the anodization process of HTC now. Production issue is a good reason for having thin anodized layers but this thin is already way too bad.
I will still be giving HTC a benefit of the doubt here considering that you're the 1st one to post this. It could be a factory defect or there must be some specs of hard object in the case/pocket big enough to damage the back.
Do you have the double dip case? If so, the case's hard plastic inner section can scratch the phone when going on or coming off. Or, as the other user suggests, ensure you don't have dust ir sand particles in your case.
Currently interchangeably using HTC One, BBZ10 and Note 2
The double dip case is awful it gets sand and grit in it very easily. I have managed to scratch my silver version (couldn't wait for the black) on the front around the top of the speaker and several places on the back and side. I actually bought the case before I even had my phone that's how eager I was to protect it. Nothing makes your heart sink more than when you slide the case from your phone and you feel it grind on some grit. I now have it in an otterbox defender (this also has its own issues )

Now I know for sure that the official case was the problem. I haven't put it on anymore and there are no more of those silver dots appearing. I really advise not to buy that case!

Now that is a massive fail if the official case is causing it to scratch, I would contact HTC and see about a replacement and get a refund on the case, totally unacceptable.

Reaaon i never considered the black one. Same thing happened on 3 iphone 5's i had. Its a limitation of the material/process imho. Htc Apple doesnt matter black anodized aluminum is coming of easy
