Anyone who's had this cover for a (long) while had any issues with it getting faded and chalky looking?

I've had mine 2 years. Yes, it fades. The front and sides of my cover are much lighter than the back cover. The front and sides are in the sun most of the day, the back cover never sees the sun. NJ weather.

We have had ours since December, no problems. It's more of a cloth cover not vinyl.

I've had mine one year - out in the winter snow - and it still looks great.

I haven't had any issues. It definitely ruins the aesthetic at first, but it functions perfectly fine, and the appearance has even grown on me somewhat over time.

I have had this cover for a couple of months and the bumper color still stays the same:)

Well, i bought the cover that was suggested on the Amazon site... works well, have had it since May 2013.. faded in sun, but not cracked or leaking. I was happy with it for the price.

I haven't had it long. I think all covers discolor and get stains but having it beige is better than what I had before - a gray color. It looks great. It may need additional waterproofing. I am planning on spraying it. The bottom stitching is weak. I tried to pull the elastic string to bring it in like the picture and some of the stitching in the opening ripped. This is their only problem with detail. I can easily sew it though. So don't pull it too hard. Take your time pulling the string on the bottom. I think for the price, it is the best looking cover I've ever had for my grill. Very classy looking. Fits perfectly. I haven't had it long.

Hi. It has not faded and has held up well. We live in NY, so the furniture just got pulled out of storage from last October, so it is not exposed to elements all year round. We did have the one armrest table break a week after delivery, but Amazon took care of and sent a new couch. So far so good.

I bought the blue and white one and I've had no problems with it looking dirty after a few having it on for a while.

I have had the case for about 9 months and it has held up well and provides good protection. It does show slight discoloration, which I suspect is normal for this type of case, especially clear ones.

i bought this cover as a replacement for the original. Fits well, but has faded over the summer much more than I would have expected.

I've had my cover on the Nook for a couple of years and have not once taken it off until today when you asked. The color from the cover had not rubbed off on the Nook. Hope this helps.

I bought a cover for mine and keep it covered when not in use. Mine still looks new after almost a year.

I've seen some inquiries about color peeling, is that still happening, do you still recommend the case even taking this in mind?Does every model fade to the same color once they peel? If they don't which one should I choose to reduce the peeling effect?Thanks in advance and sorry for the multiple questions, I really like the design of this case but this is holding me back from buying it at the moment.

The fabric is a matte finish, and while it is very dark, I made a bike cover that was out in the sunshine all the time, and it did fade noticeably after one year. If you are using it inside, you may not have the problem. Even with the fading, it is still very strong, not deteriorating at all, and it has now been almost 3 years.

After several months of using this cover I can see some traces of the adhesive on the edges around all areas. It like the cover shrunk a little bit... I guess caused by the heat. Not enough to bother me, though... this residuals can be easily cleaned without affecting the cover. I still think in overall, the cover looks sharp.

I've had my white case for 14 months now and it gets pretty hard use. It's just beginning to show some discoloration on the back from where it slides/sits when set down. But mine goes everywhere, purse, pockets, kids hands, etc. Surprised and very pleased at how well it's lasted since discoloration/stains were a concern when I purchased it.

Ditto. I have had mine for 2 years as well. 2 soaking wet winters and 2 beautiful summers exposed to sunlight and, it is holding up great. Very durable for an inexpensive cover.
