I got my slim white case yesterday and within a couple of hours the edges had started picking up the blue dye from my jeans. Has anyone else tried out any other inks/dyes/paints on the slim cover? I’d like to do a permanent design on mine since I feel the white won’t stay clean for long.

Recently bought a second hand FP2 and same thing is happening when I am wearing dark navy jeans. Has anyone tried dyeing their covers? I might give it a go myself… :slight_smile:
