    Just took the back off and on each side there are two circles on the case that have dug into the rubber siding on the phone. Where it was black, you can now see silver. Not huge places, but there none the less. I am not happy and won't be using this case any more. Paid 700 for the phone only to be nicked up by a 40 dollar case.

    See comment number 24 for photos

    Bummer, thanks for sharing. I will probably not use the hardshell now.

    I am going to contact Blackberry. I will post photos when I get home. It appears the two "circles" on each side of the phone are to hold the buttons in place. Instead, they are pushing in tight on the side of the phone which is a rubbery material and rubbing it off.

    Thanks. I'll try not to use my Hard Shell too often and stick with the flip case and holster instead. Please post pics later!

    The same thing happened with my passport as well. I used a hard case for we'll under a month and when I removed it, the paint started chipping the edges... Wonder what's the problem...

    Never had any issues with my Red Passport. What colour was yours?

    Looks like I'm getting a smart flip case when I get manage to get a hold of a Priv. Never liked the hard shell aesthetically anyway.

    Well, you want the case to fit securely right!



    .. that is unacceptable for any case- let alone an official case to be doing that!

    Damn this sucks to hear, I put the hard shell case on the phone with the factory plastic protection still on, I'm afraid of removing the case now to check. I don't think I would like the flip case.

    Argh, thank you for posting this. I also have the hard shell on the phone and immediately took mine off. Luckily only slight marks on my phone but this is unacceptable for an official accessory.

    Let's see what BlackBerry has to say...

    Thanks! Same thing here. Looks like I'm moving to a flip shell case.

    I saw those circles when playing with my case (shopBB hasnt given me any info except i will get it by the 25th). And when I saw those circles, I thought "this is a problem"

    Can you post some macro shots of the damage?

    I have the flip case, but not the phone and think it is also going to scratch the phone. Point is that a hard surface touching a hard surface is going to do that regardless of how well it fits. I will likely return my flip and get the pocket which is truly only soft surfaces touching the phone. Wish BB would make a leather case like Apple has for the iPhone, it's truly a great OEM case.
