Easy way to tell is if you find a scratch through to the case and below the surface...if it is not the same color all the way through, it's dyed.
This combined with the battery issue, has the Astak line off my list. Far too many questionable issues, and as always it all gets put back on the factory. The devices are built to the Astak spec that was agreed on in the final design.

++ It certainly wasn't the paint (as I had the black version) or the battery (mine seemed to be fine) but a whole bunch of little niggly things that just didn't sit right with me so I returned mine. Hearing these additional issues makes me think I made the right decision.
