    Default Silver Paint coming off remote

    Has anyone else noticed that the silver paint around the D-paf on Boxee Box remote is wearing off? I haven't been rough on the remote at all...No kids or pets. It just seems like a really cheap paint job. I would think a $200 device would come with better paint on the remote.

    Anybody been able to get a replacement remote because of this issue?

    Thanks,
    Andrew

    I see a little bit of paint coming off my $600 remote. The $2 remote the Boxee ships with can't possibly be as bullet-proof.

    same problem and surprise here... :-(

    But what I really don't understand is why make the top of the remote shiny black?!
    This is the part you continuously touch!
    It would be much better if the whole control would have been made with the same material as the bottom of the remote.

    I don't know what they were thinking with the shiny black finish. That drives me crazy. By now, you've probably figured out that I'm a lot OCD.
