It looks like the paint is beginning to rub off.

as i said before you could make a genius appointment and complain they will endup giving you a new one. if it is still under the 1 year warranty.

you could try to clean it with a soft cloth and see if it will take it off.

No. Bad idea. Anything like that or anything oil based will ruin the plastic.

I have a silicon case on my ipod touch, and I have the same marks except a lot more of them. I haven't been able to get them off...

edit:The blemishes appear to be micro scratches made by dust under the case rubbing against the back of the iphone/itouch. I could be wrong though...

guys, i have the same problem.. does latex/paint remover works? tnx

I had the same problem when I used a casing for my iPhone, but i always took it out every 2-3 weeks, took a wet cloth and cleaned it. I think the white substance is due to dust trapped between ur casing and the black phone cover which over a long time start to scratch on one point. But i might be wrong, i removed my cover completely and now using it naked. = ) i still think the iPhone looks best when naked. =)

Thanks for all the input guys!

I'm glad other people have had the same problem too. Puts me at rest a bit, lol.

I have a one-year warranty + one-year of Apple Care. I may try to exchange it, but it really isn't worrying me much right now... Perhaps if it gets any worse I will...

I haven't tried the ltx/paint remover yet... I'm going to try some Goo Gone first (it's gentler) and if that doesn't work I'll give it a go.

I'll definitely post any results I find.

Thanks again.

Goo Gone does NOT work. I did not try the ltx/paint remover, but I assume that would not work as well.

Upon further investigation, the blemishes appear to be micro scratches on the surface of the iPhone. Bandrew was right.

I think I'm going to purchase some Radtech Ice Creme Scratch Remover and try that out: http://www.radtech.us/products/Icecreme.aspx

As always, I'll post the results.
