I got my Vertu Constellation in a round about way, and while I have greatly enjoyed owning it. But there has never been a day when I thought for even a moment that I was in the same financial bracket as the typical Vertu owner.
Today I got proof positive of that fact in the form of a repair bill; more on that in a moment…
I had noticed soon after getting my nearly new Constellation that the leather on its battery cover was starting to peel back. This is certainly not uncommon with the model, and mine was certainly much more minor than some of the peeling examples I have seen on say, eBay.
Nevertheless, on a $5,000 phone the peeling was an affront, so I made plans to send the phone in for repair. This was after calling and asking if I could just buy a new battery door and learning that it was simply not possible.
The peeling was occurring on the right corner shown; it hadn’t yet started when I took this picture
