I think the cream cover combined with the earlier batches might be the problem. The cream cover is obviously okay with the later batches. The finish feels different on this one than the ones that peeled--it's harder.
Yeah, on the unit I have which is peeling now, as I type this, the outer paint seems to have an almost kind of slightly tacky rubbery texture. When it peels away, the undercoat is harder and smoother.

The BACK of the unit, where it touches the cover constantly, is kind of a mess. I just noticed that this morning when I briefly slid it out of the cover. Its not peeling on the back as much as it is consistently distressed and discolored.

I've emailed support and hopefully will get this resolved. Any doubts I had about sending this back for exchange are gone now after seeing the back.
