No need to get snotty. GDG is correct; only Apple can tell you what if anything they could do for you. The experience of one user may well not apply to you. If you can't drive to an Apple Store, call Apple tech support.


The issue of cosmetic issues with the iPhone 5 have been discussed here many times already if you just want to read the opinions, guesses and general gab from other users.

My iphone 5 paint started scuffing and I just sanded it off with 1500 grit automotive sandpaper from autozone. Seeing that apple couldn't do anything about my scuffing problem and it was gonna ware off I just went ahead and sanded it and the sandpaper costs about six dollars.
