I wonder what the manufacturers are doing different? The v5 and BeBok Mini have been out (in black) long before Astak's release (if I remember correctly). And I do not recall seeing these issues with them.

So that brings me to wonder if the manufacturers are using different protocols depending on EU or US regulations. If so, then the fault ultimately goes to the US Regulations for making the manufacturers use these inoperable methods.

EDIT

It seems to be affecting the Mini as well. So they must be doing something different between the v5 and the v3?

I think Id rather have a solid mottled plastic shell than the rubber coating. At least it will not be prone to peeling or ripping. Maybe they can do this for the next batch or version.
