I have a black one. I’ve dropped a few times on concrete and it does scratch the edges pretty noticeably. I’ve used an Emory board which surprisingly did a great job making the edges smooth again. Unfortunately it strips the coloring. I’ve tried black sharpie which doesn’t stay on. But I really don’t notice the faded edge colors and it feels smooth in my hands. Anyone have a suggestion of how to apply color to titanium please hit me up. I use an Anker MagSafe ring too for added grip.
