iphone 7 matte black white spots on back

I have a crystal clear jelly pouch which i have put on to my iphone 7 matte black, after 2 weeks i planned to clean my phone, when i took out the pouch their were white spots all over, i tried to wipe them with polyester cloth but no luck. ( camera wasn't covered by the pouch, body within the camera surface area is clear but white spots all over the body which was covered by the pouch)

Me and a few of my friends have the same problem, and also a lot of people in the world, and you say that is from the case!?!?!?!?!

That is stupid!!!! We give a lots of money for this Iphone, and it shoud be no problems of this kind with him.The case that i use is original certificated by Apple: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MGQL2LL/A/iphone-6s-smart-battery-case-charcoa l-gray?fnode=99&fs=f%3Dbatterycase-scree…

Same thing with me. Used a cover for 2-3 days and back of the phone now has small white dots all over. Seems like paint has gone off.


Apple's quality is going down day by day and they are not listening to the complaints of customers anymore.

When i got iphone 7 plus, next day noticed some dust particles inside the camera lens.

They didn't even replace the product and opened it the very next day of purchase. Again, dust particles are visible after 2 months!

I also have that very same problem. For me, I think the case is the reason because only area on the back of my phone which isn't stained is the camera cut-out and the problem seems to be most severe on the edges of the same cut-out. I have a simple and cheap silicone case that I bought from the same store with my phone. That's kinda funny because I bought the case to protect the beautiful matte paint job on the back but it seems it has only ruined it. Perhaps the silicone somehow reacts with the paint, but that's something that Apple should have warned customers about upfront 😌.

I have an iPhone 7 plus, and I'm also facing the same issue. I don't think apple has the solution for this problem as of now, let's hope they will! Since we are unable to use cases as they are damaging the paint I would suggest to use skins which are available online. They come in a variety of textures and colours(let me know if anyone needs the name of the websites, they are highly precisioned and looks great moreover it covers the entire paint on the iPhone). This may not be the ideal solution but let's face it something is better than nothing!

Sadly, I am too facing the same black/white spots all over the back of my iPhone 7 Black Matte. It is so disappointing and frustrating to see that there is no resolution or support from Apple team. iphone 7 matte is just a failure. My phone looks ugly 😟. After spending a huge chunk of hard earned money on a inferior quality product is so frustating. Apple has to do something to help this bad paint or bad anodized job on the iphone.
