9to5: “Chewing on the bezel causes the bezel to look chewed on.”

Duly noted.

There’s always some part of every iPhone that wears worse than the rest of the device. I’ve been using SEs for the last several years and the rim around the camera always chips and flakes after several months. It doesn’t make the phone look bad or reduce its use, it just makes it looked used. As long as it doesn’t reject exposure to touch like FineWoven cases did, it’s tolerable.

I think this is true of any smart phone. I have had Android devices that wore fairly poorly over others. My nexus 4 had a shattered glass back almost its entire life.
