Seam on AirPods Pro 2 USB C Charging case

I recently purchased a pair of AirPods Pro 2 directly from Apple and I noticed something that can potentially be maybe an issue. As of now, I noticed that there is a faint line visible on the charging case (the seam maybe) and I can feel when moving my fingers around the case. Therefore, I am wondering is this a sign that the AirPods could potentially be fake (doubt it, since again it was bought straight from Apple’s website) or is this just something that is completely normal? I really wish to know

AirPods Pro (2nd generation)

Thank you for the followup reply.

Get a New Pair:

These seems to be separating. So, get a new pair. If they are separating, then there may be gunk in side, perhaps making this a health hazard. So, return these, and request a swap out.

Thank you for the photo.

Please add an arrow pointing to this line.

If purchased from Apple, then no worries there.

Almost seems like the plastic been rubbed off quite a bit, and that the plastic has aged from cosmetic wear.
