In this episode of Steve Litchfield's "Phone Show Chat" #127, he has a guest from Engadget (Myriam Joire), who describes in great detail what the problem is, a 'coating' of sorts that does indeed chip and peel away.

Start listening at the 17 minutes mark. He says he has confirmation from somebody in charge of industrial design at Nokia that the N9s (and Lumia 800 and 900) are not solid colour, but actually coated in "clear-coat". Very interesting. I'd like to know if this applies just to the black, or to the other colours as well.
Can't help but feel a tad cheated, after remembering Marko's N9 launch speech, and the whole "colour runs right through" part. I suppose it still does, but it means your beautiful phone can end up looking like it's got peeling skin like Goldmember

As I said earlier. A hardening "coating" on polycarbonate is a normal process to prevent scratches. All polycarbonate headlights on cars have this coating.

You also argued primarily that people with this issue had N9's w/fake housings etc.
You were absolute in your knowing of this....
