decided to leave it as it is as didnt think it was worth it. h/r, to my horror, discovered that the cover is starting to chip again (see pic above) aft i got back fr thailand even though i didnt use it at all coz brought my old phone to use instead. so distressed that i decided to write a complaint mail via their official website, esp since the warranty stated that they guranteed that: "The Samsung warranty guarantees the mobile phone to be free from defects in workmanship and material for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase and it is not transferable."... received a call from them juz now to inform me that they will replace the cover for free this time round but not a 2nd time. now tinking of changing phone totally in case it chips again and i can even use it to trade in..
