Initially, 8 months or so ago, the Pocket PRO did have some wrinkling from the paint. It was prevalent more on the blue, maroon, purple and pink... but there were very seldom reports that a black or white were affected. Astak offered to take all back and replace them with Batch #2.
The problem was supposedly caused by the "leather" case. The tanning solvent was giving off low-grade gases that caused the paint to wrinkle.
As such, the factory redesigned the case so there were no such gases and the problem went away completely.
What is in-stock now has been totally stable for the last 6 months or so. There has not been a report of the problem. Whether you buy slate blue or black or the totally beautiful metallic purple... the colors are fine now! ALL six colors are fine!
