I've had a K2 since release also. No discoloration or scratches yet, and I do not use a cover unless I go out. The only defect I've encountered was the insulation on the sync cable started peeling off a couple of weeks ago, but a cable is easily enough replaced. (PS- Micro-USB cables are hard to find in computer shops in some places. If you have this problem, go to a cell phone shop and you'll probably have better luck, as Micro-USB is the standard connector for many new phones. The Nokia CA101 cable works fine with the Kindle.)
