I love my Nexus One, but there is one annoying issue with that cool Teflon coating. It feels great and probably is great protection, but it rapidly absorbs color from cases, including the silicone skins and leather. The first thing I did when I got mine was to put it in one of those cushy, grippy silicone skins. Aside from adding bulk to my otherwise svelte N1, it almost immediately starting transferring dark "smudges" to the phone, which of course I didn't notice until it was much too late. To the touch, the discolored areas feel identical to the rest, so I don't think the surface is damaged in any way other than cosmetically. I stopped using the skin, but now that I'm using a leather case with a fabric lining it still seems to be getting worse from the dyes. I've tried cleaning it with alcohol and soap & water to no avail, and I'm afraid to use anything stronger.
So, I'm going to try getting one of those really thin adhesive "skins" to cover the existing discoloration and prevent any further ugliness. Hopefully it will also protect while concurrently allowing stuff such as use of a dock, which wouldn't work with my original silicone skin or a traditional case. I'll update this post with photos and a review as things progress.
