For some reason it appears to only be an issue with the "black" one. A friend has the blue one and it doesn't have the same issue with the finish rubbing off. I really wish they'd make a silicone sleeve for these, I'd buy one for sure.
Got my "black" IPV mini just before Christmas. The finish started rubbing off within two weeks. I decided to get a skin for it to protect what was left. The unprotected surfaces are still losing finish (they almost have a copper-y look) and the buttons have completely lost their finish. Other than that, it still works like a champ. I just wish my fingers didn't smell like metal after using it.
Just ordered the clear one myself. They were out of black and green. If you have an IPV Mini, I recommend looking into the silicone case -- comes in a lot of colors.
Got my black silicone sleeve in today, and it's a perfect fit...looks pretty slick, if I might say myself. Traded out the red o-rings for the black ones on the Subtank Mini and found a nice carbon fiber tip to complete the look.
