Is it stainless steel or not ?

Hi
i intended to buy E65 and i wanna know if its face made of stainless steel or not .. coz i am afraid that it may be dameged after a while and its pretty face became not pretty anymore ?
thanks
Emad

hello,
sorry for using your post, I have a E65 too.
I have to say that it is indeed a very good phone, has a great feel (in your hand), like no other I've ever had, it's stylish and so... but mine is getting a little scratched in the shiny frame around the keypad.
I realise it's because of the slider, the front cover "forces" a little the bottom of the frame, thus getting it a little scratched.
Well, but the phone isn't intended to last for 100 years without a scratch just wears normally as any other phone would.
Hope this helps.

  • Stainless steel band on iPhone 4 rusting and spreading

    A very good day to everyone looking at this post, since I got my iPhone 4 from marina bay sands on lunch day, I realize that I there is some rusting on the stainless steel band right above the black strip on the left side, i call singtel and ask them what can I do? They told me to go down to comm centre to have my phone checked out, but when I went there, they told me that they are not able to change the phone as it is only a rust and they they went on saying that they can change it if it's a hardware issue.
    My first question is, is stainless steel suppose to rust.
    My second questions is, rusting of stainless steel bend is not counted as hardware issue?

    Stainless Steel is misleading to those who are casual observers. Depending on the grade of the alloy some oxidation may occur.
    This is from Wikipedia, please be sure to corroborate anything in here you do not understand or doubt.
    In metallurgy stainless steel, also known as inox steel or inox from French "inoxydable", is defined as a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5[1] or 11% chromium content by mass.[2] Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain-proof.[3] It is also called corrosion-resistant steel or CRES when the alloy type and grade are not detailed, particularly in the aviation industry. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment to which the material will be subjected in its lifetime. Stainless steel is used where both the properties of steel and resistance to corrosion are required.
    Stainless steel differs from carbon steel by the amount of chromium present. Carbon steel rusts when exposed to air and moisture. This iron oxide film (the rust) is active and accelerates corrosion by forming more iron oxide. Stainless steels contain sufficient chromium to form a passive film of chromium oxide, which prevents further surface corrosion and blocks corrosion from spreading into the metal's internal structure.

  • Fixing scuffs on stainless steel band

    I know this has been discussed before, but I have an Incipio rubber case for my iPhone 4 that I got in February, and since about a month after I got it, I've started noticing scuff marks all over the stainless steel band of my phone.
    The marks look identical to these, pretty much all over the band on every side.
    Now I know others have been successful at getting replacement phones from Apple because of this, but everyone I've heard from that got a replacement had Apple's bumper case, not a third-party case.
    The case I have is just rubber that covers the sides and back of the phone, and there's not even any hard plastic like the bumper.
    So is there any way to get the scuffs off? I will be looking to sell my phone eventually and want to get as much money back as possible. Someone in another thread mentioned toothepaste and water? Another mentioned Chlorox wipes. I'm a little scared of using strong cleaning products, because the last thing I want to do is further damage my phone.
    If that doesn't work, do you think I can get a replacement, even though I got the scratches using a third-party case? Generally, I would not expect to get one, but I have heard how amazing Apple's CS is, so I figured it may be worth a shot. I have never personally had any experience with their CS, but I've heard of people getting free replacements (something like the first time its free, after that it's $199) for dropping the phone and cracking the screen, and I would think that the customer would definately be much more at fault for that than for having the case scratch the phone.
    Thanks!

  • Why should I have to buy a bulky space black band I do not like (Hate after trying it on) to get the space black stainless steel watch

    Apple is going to lose a lot of sales over forcing you to buy combinations you do not want.  I went to the store to try one on. LOVED the space black stainless steel watch but the band that is attached to it is atrocious, bulky, heavy and uncomfortable.  So, if I want this watch I have to waste $499 on a band I hate and buy an accessory band I do like.  Well, I went in with every intention of ordering one.  Now, eh, I'll just wear the comfortable one I have.  Poor, poor choice to force bands on people.  I have six iPhone six's in my family, I got to choose, seven MacBook pro's of varying sizes and age, four iPads of varying size and age, and the new 5K iMac.  Now, the most personal item ever made is well, not very personal if I have to wear a bulky, uncomfortable band.  

    This is a user-to-user help forum. There is nothing that anyone here can do to help you. You could find the Apple feedback page and tell Apple in which case there's a chance that something might be done

  • Black stainless steel case with black sport band?

    I would like to order a Black Stainless Steel Apple Watch with a Black Sport Band but this option is not available for pre-order?  The only band option available for pre order with the black stainless steel Apple watch case (not sport) is the Black Stainless Steel Band which I tried on and don't like.  It's also way too expensive and I'd prefer to begin with the black Sport Band. Anyone know why this option is not being offered as Apple has billed the watch to be able to be compatible with most of the bands?  Am I stuck ordering the silver stainless steel case with the black sport band that is available?  Thanks for the help!

  • Apple watch allergy stainless steels

    Dear staff,
    My skin allergy about stainless steels but I'd like to try to wear Apple Watch Sport, made form aluminum.
    Is it suit for me?  Do you test about any skin?
    I'm planning to buy for my birthday's present, next month.
    If you have any answer, please let me know as soon as posible.
    Regrads,
    Shasha

    DISCALIMER: I am NOT a Doctor or any kind of healthcare professional.
    I find no mention of allergy to "Stainless Steel" but DO find lots of reference to allergy to the "NIckel Salts" that develop from low quality stainless steel - Nickel allergy has been pretty much put to bed in this thread > Is the Apple Watch Sport nickel free?
    Conclusion of the allergy sufferer(s) was that the "surgical" quality of the Stainless Steel would likely be sufficient combined with smart wearing and cleaning practice.
    Participation in that thread was very educational!!

  • Scratched Stainless Steel

    I had a case for my iPhone 4, and it nicked up the stainless steel on the sides. Is there any way to get them out and get the steel back to normal besides buying a new iPhone?

    Not unless you have some sort of polish and buffer! For accidental damage repairs in canada, it cost $169.00 for a repair / replacement. At least Apple gives a better prive than kijiji or a carrier!

  • Where i can get an iPod shuffle polished stainless steel ?

    I really liked the look of the special edition polished stainless steel iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) limited edition when it came out but
    unfortunately was not in a position to buy one. Do you know where I can get one within or shipped too the UK or do you have
    one you would be willing to sell me ?
    Thanks in advance, Ralph

    You need to contact the people who administer the networks to get the passwords for the networks. If there was such an app as you are asking for then passwords for wifi networks would be worthless.

  • How can I buy apple watch  for the space black stainless steel case and the black sport band for one order?

    How can I buy apple watch  for the space black stainless steel case and the black sport band for one order?

    Unfortunately no. I asked the same question when I went to the local Apple Store for my "try on" and as of now you would have to order the watch with the metal link band and the black sports band separately.

  • Has anyone received their 42mm stainless steel with black band watch?

    HHas anyone received their 42mm stainless steel black band watch? Also curious if anyone has received a watch that was payed for in full or partial using a Apple gift certificate.

    I hopped on the Apple Store app as soon as I could to order it.  It said the delivery date range was 4/24-5/8.  The confirmation email had a 3:03 EDT timestamp.
    Interestingly, the 38mm model that I ordered at the same time arrived on the 24th, so there must have been something about the larger model or strap that delayed it a bit.   I also noticed that the Apple Store app began working a few minutes before the web site, which may have made a difference.

  • Difference between "Black Sport Band with Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin" and "Black Sport Band"

    If you look at the Apple Store site at the Sport Strap, there seems to be 2 black version - one is titled "Black Sport Band with Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin" and one just "Black Sport Band".
    Since in the picture they use a Space Grey Watch for one and Silver Watch for the other, it's hard to tell the difference between these two straps. Any ideas?

    The difference is very subtle yet noticeable. The Black Sport Band with Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin is geared more towards using it with the Stainles Steel Apple Watch since the little pin that's visible from the bottom of your wrist is stainless steel and matches the case, whereas the Black Sports Band w/o Space Grey Stainless Steel Pin matches  more to the metal that's used on the Apple Watch Sport. Hope this helps!

  • Gap between front screen + stainless steel band

    I started to get a problem with the proximity sensor with my last phone, went to the apple store to get a replacement yesterday. I was a happy camper until i saw that one of the business cards in my pocket had managed to get stuck in between the screen and the band. i started to research about the problem and got mixed opinions (it is not normal & will be replaced vs. it is normal & it happens). i happened to be near an apple store at that time so i decided to go in and ask the employee about the problem as i did not have enough time to wait for a genius appointment, but all i got from the employee was a funny look and a point to the cases were being displayed. so, is this a defect? i want to get a clear answer from this board just so that i might not get another funny look at the genius bar. thanks!
