    damaged m6: how could this happen?!

    After while, when I open package with m6 from china, I saw it.. I don't know if this damage has been earlier, or I damaged it, but how could this happen?!
    I do NOT squeeze it, nothing what could do sth like that! Is it so soft?
    *My m6 is still working well.

    :eek: More info please - you took it out of the official Meizu miniplayer box and it looked like that? The box that the M6 ships in will not hold up a dining room table but it is pretty sturdy - the miniplayer is seated in the cutaway recess with nothing pressing against the back that would cause such a divot... did you buy it form a 3rd party seller that stuffed other products in the box where the manuals and cables go? or perhaps shipped it in a different container?...also, my player had stickers for manufacturing date (mine was born only 2 months ago ) and a pass from quality control - are those in your box? It should be pretty easy for someone here to help track the cause if you are able to answer these few questions.

    I pay for everything ~$350, and it is impossible to me to return it to china and pay another 50$ for shipping.

    I buy it on ebay, directly from china. Package was open on polish border (and I must pay extra for taxes), so probably they could damed it, but I think there was everythink fine (I'm preety shure) when I open it in my house. After not long while (half hour/hour) I saw it, but where could this happen? I only listen to music, sh*t.. I don't know;(

    Isn't that dent about the same size as your earbuds?

    I don't think so. My stuck earbuds have been in this "package" and I must open it with knife (I open it in kitchen). Maybe if player was laying on the reverse side, and someone push earbud reversed too. This is not possible.

    Ok , but it dosnt cost $50 to ship to china nor doe it cost $350 for 8gb M6 , more like $150.

    No offence but you should jsut live with it , Its a dent , Not a cracked screen

    Amazing, it must have been damaged during shipping.
    Can't wait to play with the Meizu MX!

    I pay Ł25 for shipping from China (Ł25= ~$45), total cost what I paid is ~$250 (including player, shipping, and fu**ing TAXes on border).
    I know that I can live it, I have no other choice, but miniplayer works well, so nothing else left like enjoy what I have.

    Ouch. Poor little MiniPlayer. I should've return it and pay only half of the shipping(ask the seller you've bought it from). It isn't your fault.

    Ouch didn't see that you had to pay taxes. You have allredy paid a lot. Just live with it. And don't look at the back of the player.

    The backs on them are pretty weak - mine looks like crumpled tin foil at the moment - I've had to take it off numerous times to flatten out dents O-o. (Probably my rough handling though)

    I would try to send it back and if not you can claim back the cost of it with paypal/ebay's insurance. I went the same route of purchase as you and my box turned up damp O-o.

    Id see if the seller can just send you a new backplate on his dime(If he's a Meizu dealer he should be able to get one). If not, do some searching and see if you can get one 0- they can't be too costly.

    I bought My Meizu M6 8gb from a China seller off ebay - no problems

    Sending only backplate from China is more expensive than backplate, no sense.

    @audiofish: can You show your back photo?

    No. Sending a blackplate from china would be cheap. 2 to 3 usd I guess.

    If I remember the packaging of the miniplayer correctly, it is not possible to damage the player like this without damaging the packaging, too.

    good job the back is metal.and good job its not on the screen or there would be a problem.either send it back or live with it if the player works fine.and allways keep it in its little pouch that will avoid more dents.

    Zervis, it's unique. Looks like it stopped a bullet.
