Only less than 4 months of use my girlfriend's G900 that I bought start to peel 
And to add salt, the SE authorised service center says looks puzzled and can only can "Oh sorry sir I dont think its covered under warranty"
Anyone else had this problem?? |

If there are no scratches of the housing near the peeling u take it back and demand them to fix it since then they can't say it is your fault of miss use if there are no other damages on the housing. |

@karun
the front cover for G700 is very different from G900. The plastic base surrounding the d-pad and 4-keys is a very thin plastic stick on with double-sided tape. Hence over time if the double sided tape ease off, the plastic base will peel off. I attribute this to poor or bad manufacturing design. |

I would have thought it was the plastic cover which also covered the screen when bought new.... but this looks quite bad. Would ripping it all off help? |

Cant be torn off nor peel off as if i did the whole base surrounding the 4 hard keys will be "naked" exposing the inner aluminium sheet.
The only way is to replace the entire front cover.
What a bummer like i said. Thought of keeping this G900 for a long long while since I love UIQ3 but now looks like I did better keep my W960 instead
Thanks and cheers |
