iPhone 3GS Chrome Bezel

Yep... I have replaced my iPhone 32GB GS twice for that very reason and decided to take a refund after second replacement - cut/chip like blemishes. Sticking with my 3G for time being...

Anyone notice if their chrome bezel (screen side) is chipping and rough around the inside edge?

I put mine in a case (Agent 18 Ecoshield or some name like that). Those edges are covered so I can't see them. Just as well: Cosmetic issues do bug me, but the real concern is how it works, and my 3GS is perfect so far (and its been 3 weeks today).

Nothing so far. I have a invisible shield on mine, covers most of the bezel. Flawless so far.

This place redoes bezels and battery covers..
