Back of iPhone 5S (black) losing color

[boovish]

Maybe sock elves use sand paper on it at night

Never heard of any such thing before. Maybe its just you and the way you're using your phone.

Hummm, maybe it's not a "real" iPhone. This is very peculiar and unheard of ....NOT exactly sure what to think

I'm guessing it's possible but not too frequent.

There is also possiblity it was causing from OP life style..for example put the phone naked on any rough surface without knowing it and become habit..i my self, never pun any of my phone on any surface without puting some soft napkin or tissue on below of my phone..my friend think im crazy..but i think i am a paranoid kind of person..

I've checked out the back of my 5S just to see if there are any flaws. It looks as good as day one.

Obviously there is something going on with the way you handle your phone, and its very possible that is it something on your hands causing this to happen. secondly you should buy a case, even the new apple cases are pretty damn close to naked but will protect the bezel and back of the phone from whatever is causing this to happen. if your leather case starts falling apart from your "oils", you should go see professor x you may be the next member of the x men with supernatural corrosive hand oils.

you should go see professor x

Just reviving this for the sake of information. Same thing happened to me and it was caused by metal constantly rubing against metal.

I had one of those ferrari socks because i wanted to use the phone naked. After being used for a few months in my pants I could clearly see the back of the iPhone like the one in this thread. In my case the discoloration had the form of the zipper and the entire zip line that the sock has.

So, in addition to resurrecting a thread that was over 10 months old, you admitted that the problem was caused by the way you handled/treated your phone? Thanks for sharing.
