The question about the 'patina' of a #Librem5 used daily came up on the Purism forums. I liked the idea and thought I'd post my actual state with some pictures to sometimes look back to it.

I'm using mine now for more than a year as my only mobile phone.

Librem5 patina? Purism community

dropped it on this corner - the floor tile it fell on is broken also

as I remember another drop with some drift added

I do not use any cover, the phone is rocksolid anyway. Some of the paint comes of at all corners.

The screen protector doesn't stick on in all places anymore. A new one is already waiting, but until now I'm too lazy…

Only thing that worries me: need to replace the middle frame, because I screwed it in using too much force and now the plastic the screw pushed on broke of and it doesn't hold the back tight to the outer frame. On this edge the metal frame is bent a bit inside - the reason why the plastic middle frame didn't slide in as expected.
