Perhaps instead of the rubberized coating, they should just put a clear rubber cover on it instead. I think the rubberized coating would definitely absorb a lot of the impact if there was a corner impact when dropped, so keeping some form of drop protection would be good. I am torn about sending it back. Obviously I would not like for it to have cosmetic defects right off the bat, but I'm a bit impatient to wait to get another unit in. Of course, this gives it the "used extensively" look, so someone may be less tempted to steal it.
