Haven't seen any pink peeling reports, but that is likely more due to that being the least popular color.
As for me, my red one is wrinkly on the back and slight blistering along the bezel and forward page turn button on front. If I thought it would simply stay that way and not get worse, I would keep it. As I suspect it will spread, I will exchange it. Certainly do not want a refund as I love it, and I am just bummed about having to go through the exchange process and being without it. But Astak is certainly making it as painless as they reasonably could, and they continue to get high marks from me for responsiveness.
Unless I hear they are stone-cold certain they have this issue under control, I will most likely ask for a black unit. While it is a beautiful red color, having it not peel is far more important than a nice color.
BTW : I keep calling it red and not maroon, for to paraphrase from Lloyd Bentsen : Senator, I knew Maroon. I worked with Maroon. Maroon was a friend of mine. Senator, you are no Maroon.

Hi DrBen,
is the body under the wrinkly/blistering part white/grey or red plastic?
Could you perhaps post some large pictures about that part?
Thanks and best regards,
Robert
