Stains on White Aura HD bezel - Removal Ideas?

I posted on the alternate covers for Aura HD thread that I'm currently using a NeoSkin (by Peter Pauper Press) cover that I bought off Amazon for my Aura.

Before that, I'd been using the generic black neoprene sleeve I used with my Nook Touch. Unfortunately, it seems that the seams on the black Neoprene have stained the upper right corner of the bevel. I've tried using a bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to try to remove the stain, but it only managed to fade the marks and not remove them completely. It also managed to rub off a bit of the plastic's finish so now that spot is a bit shinier than the rest of the bezel.

Has anybody else had this issue with their white Auras? Does anybody have any suggestions regarding removal?

You can use a Mr Clean Magic Eraser

I don't know if any of these will work, but they're things I've used to get stains off of plastic in the past:

lemon juice

vinegar

denture cleaner--try putting it in a glass, letting it dissolve, and then rubbing it on

baking soda mixed with a little bit of water
