Silver 6P Glossy Edge Durability - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
As the title says I am wondering how does the silver glossy edge holds up? I am careful with my phones as I just can't stand scratches.
I just got my phone (It's still in the box) and I am in the phase of deciding what case to get for it..
I was going to get black one, as is not glossy on the edges - more mat. But I got a supers sweet deal on the silver one - sealed, so I didn't think twice..
So, now I need to know how does that aluminium edge holds on.. If its fairly durable, I'll keep it, otherwise I'd rather sell it, and buy the black version.
Just so you know what edge do I mean:

Any pics from users who are using the phone for some time, will be really helpful..
Also any thoughts on black vs silver version.
Thanks!

Red, Blue, Black, or Black with Clear front (hybrid).
Another solution may be to look around eBay.

White case suggestions?

I love the look of the white cases but I find they get discoloured very quickly, I work in a newsagents so I often have newspaper print on my hands and they end up looking like this:

My white Rearth Ringke slim hasn't discolored at all in about a month.

Nillkin White matte slim hard snapon (it'll get dirty) and /or Mercury Pearl White Gel/ tpu (uv protectant coating). Either or both you won't be disappointed.
I got the ringke rearth rev2, didn't like the extended overlap on top left corner. The lip pushes my skinomi wet screen skin up and bubbled.

Cracked screen and a bad replacement

So I ordered a replacement screen finally, as i have been with a cracked screen for awhile now. New screen came in and i begin to disassemble my phone, and remove the old screen no problem. I get to install the new one, and fit it in, its a little tight and I put a slight amount of pressure and the new one cracks in the corner. I was pretty pissed. So I then noticed that there is no gap at all between the digitizer and the hole for the optical joystick.
It was a screen from Chuanbo Zhang on amazon, which has plenty of reviews.

Did i just get a badly made screen? or is this normal for most screens or is there some version of the Droid Inc that has no gap between those parts?
Should I still try and repair this phone after ive had it for so long? Or is it time to retire and go for something new.

Frost questions..

How's the feel of the frost? Is it identical to the aluminium?
What about scratches? Does the coating flake off and reveal silver color, similar to the graphite?
Also, will the frost's sides bend as easily as the aluminium?
As my graphite is already mysteriously flaking and revealing silver, I'm returning my 32gb graphite today and gonna repurchase a 64gb aluminium or frost..
I just don't wanna have the same problem with frost =/
Anybody care to share their frost experience?
You can see the tiny silver spot that has appeared on the bottom right corner.. This mysteriously happened as I haven't even dropped the phone.. I saw a user on Reddit already have a few of these around the camera bump =/.. I'm returning it while I can and changing colors (and sizes)..
Shame tho because I much prefer the graphite color..

Strange 'wrinkle' on metallic border of the phone

Hi guys
I just bought a new S10+, and unboxed the phone to find this strange 'wrinkle' on the left metallic border of the phone.
Doesn't feel normal, so thought I ask if any of you have the same issue on your phones.

Is it the protective film that goes on top of the bezel when new?
Can you remove it with your finger nail?
If not...
If wedge between the bezel/screen it may allow water entry.
Nah, my phone didn't come with protective layer.
Was told by seller it's new, but likely to be a refurbished set.
Have since gone back to the store to get a replacement. Got another refurbished set again but in way better condition and battery health, so can't complain for now
