I really like the Line 6 live sound products, but the material on the had miss for the XD-v35 and XE-V75 systems flakes off really easily. We only use them twice a week for church services and performances. The speakers/performers have been instructed how to properly handle them, and they always go back in their protective cases.
That being said, the black coating (at least in the middle) seems to peel very easily. We have already gotten one replacement a while ago, but it just looks really bad on stage and it's enough to make us not purchase these hand mics again.
I was going to wrap it in some kind of black Gorilla Tape or fabric tape like on a tennis racket until I realized it looked pretty nice just taking it all off with the Gorilla Tape.
Have a look
