Oily looking spot on Kindle shell that I can't clean

Yeah, but doesn't seem okay to ask for a new device for something I did (in my bag, I suppose) if the thing functions. Not something I'm used to. The retailer I bought it from in my country won't honor warranty for that and do an exchange (or any retailer here, in fact), but American companies are known to bend over backwards for customers even when they have no reason to. It's not something I'm used to, is all.

Wow! Where do you live?

I think you are being a little OCD. Exchanging it will not solve anything. It will happen again unless you wear gloves 24/7 lol. I would go with the one persons suggestion of the case that covers the entire front. Out of sight out of mind. Lol

I've had a Kindle for years and it never happened because I had a cover. The spot happened probably because it rubbed off on something in my bag. Since I've tried many things, it doesn't sound like something I can clean at all, so I'm guessing a bit rubbed off. I sold my last Kindle and it looked brand new. Only sold it due to wanting newer, faster software and it had some bright "pixels".

Got a decal because I like the case that has a strap on the back for holding the kindle one-handed more easily. Unfortunately there are no cases that combine bezel protection and straps.
