If I remember correctly, I think I saw an Engadget post about this problem. I remember them having to hold the release of the pebble blue models due to some kind of paint issue.

See if you can have it replaced with a white one.

I have the blue version and haven't had any issue. If the place you got it from doesn't replace it they are making custom backs that aren't too expensive. I heard of a metal back being sold a few weeks ago for those of us who don't particularly like the plastic look and feel of the original. I think it was like $10 or $12.

The metal back might disable nfc and interfere with the signal . They do look nice I was looking to get one but did a little research

How easy does the silver paint chip/wear off? I was thinking about going white over black, but didn't know if the white will start looking worn faster.
I just got my white e4gt 2 weeks ago so I can't really comment on how the paint will hold up but it seems like it will be just fine. I do know I like the look a whole lot better then my black one and the smooth back feels nicer too so I would definitely recommend it
Had mine for about 5 months now and doesn't show any wear yet. Still happy with it, have the Best Buy Black Tie program and haven't used it once!
The paint does not chip off...I have a case though... using for over 5 months

I just picked up a used one. It has chips in the silver paint. Not a big deal for the price I paid. I guess if you scratch or bump it hard enough it could be an issue.
had white housing on for about 2 months now, no paint missing or chipped or anything.
I've thrown my phone of course with the ballistic case on it and not one chip
From the 2nd galaxy
I usually use the Seidio spring holster. The bottom corners of the phone sit in the holster points and I am thinking these may cause some wear.
Ive had mine for months love the look of it so i got the clear case for it and the mirror screen protector and it looks really good like that no chipping or issues yet.
Mine still looks great!
Can black, asian, latino, etc Epic Touch owners answer too? Sheesh, this seems over the top.
Picked mine up right after launch of the white version. No scratches at all.

Without more punctuation, your question is directed at white owners of the E4GT.
It doesnt chip. I got mine almost a month ago and no chipping. It even still smells brand new. Lol I love this phone. :thumbup:

I have the Black one on my Blue phone and am really happy with it. Eliminates the slippery feel the phone has and looks really nice.
how much did you get it?
and how is the quality? i find some in ebay but they look good in pictures but not sure if it feel cheap in real life cuz i got some case from ebay but most of them look kind of cheap and pretty much will lose color in few months or something
I have the cf backing which is supposedly the same material and the color of my jeans is already rubbing off on it

Oh man, i hope this doesnt happen to mine when it gets here. Super glue can save it though. How is the quality of it?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Mine seems to be fine, been using it for a week or so. The numbers are embossed and recessed, I bet I could pry them out, but they seem secure.
I would contact the seller and let him know your number fell off and ask for a new one.
The quality is all right, it is synthetic leather after all. But besides the fallen embossed character, it's a much better option than stock.

Be very careful when removing that cover from the phone.
Mine ended up being much more fragile than the stock cover and it cracked on me at the point where the camera cutout is.
No problems with the lettering on mine yet. But it spends most of its time in a case.

This exact thing happened to me as well. So disappointing..
These are what I bought...

I haven't recieved them yet though they have shipped and shipped VERY quickly...may have them by the end of the week. I liked the price for them...no shipping wasn't free but I am getting both for $20 after everything.
I just couldn't decide between the Black or White for my White SIII...but I will update you all when I get them...along with Pics of a Black one on a White Phone.
waiting for the black pics on the white phone before i purchase
I didn't think I'd like the leather one but it looks nice. I noticed this thread was made early in the morning, then in the afternoon came the post about the letter falling out. That's horrible. I must have lucked out cause mine has been on my phone for nearly 2 weeks now, the only case it's got on it is a TPU bumper and my lettering looks as good today as the day I got it.
the black smooth leather one is beautiful.. feels great and way more grip vibe best hong kong 3 week shipping purchase ever lol
I got the carbon fiber one which is similar and almost all the lettering is gone within one day.

I've hated the blue from day 1. Now that there is a black variant, I'm trying to find a black shell so I can change the color. I've been searching but no luck so far. Has anyone else seen any floating around?

Does that come with the screen or something? I'm just looking for the plastic shell with no components. I can't imagine it being more than about $30.

No luck there anyway. Just battery covers.
EDIT: Now that I look closely at repair videos, it looks like the glass is glued to the frame. Swapping it out isn't trivial and risks damaging the screen. Damn.
Yea, the colored part that you see on the front is where the glass is adhered to the metal frame. as you said, it can be done, but it's not exactly easy. I'm just glad i got the blue instead of the white one.
Looks like I'll have to find someone local to trade with
i did it for.my gf.. bought a white one, chaanged the front glass to pink. and battery cover to pink, then added a pink battery cover. now shes happy lol.

One update. I contacted Google and they refunded the cost of the case. It doesn't fix the issue but at least it's something.

On that note, does anyone know where to get replacement backs? I bought a broken 32GB on ebay and fixed it up, (Only paid $50! Bezel was broken, but fixed up with epoxy no problem) the back is all cracked. Slapped a dbrand on there for the time being.
Almost 2 weeks now and still it seems everyone is out of the Note 4 in white.
Anyone heard anything as to when these devices will finally come in?

Have you looked closely at the paint on the white one. Can really tell it was painted on. Looking at the demo best buy has there are little bubbles on the side. Black one has a much smoother finish

I think I know what you're talking about. Its where they covered the intennas you can see them on the black one too! Two on top, two on the bottom and one on the right hand side...I honestly didn't notice them on the white model at the store..noticed them on my black note. Doesn't bother me though...
