Ah, I hate when this happens to phones. It's never even began to happen to my blackberry, but I had some other phone (can't think of the name now) and I literally was able to peel all of the color off the phone, excluding the buttons.

How long ago did you get the replacement? No matter what I would call and complain about the poor quality of it and ask for a new one.

Holy moley, your phone is ripping off. I would suggest getting a new housing for the phone but it costs about 30-40 dollars and well, you might as well get a new one for an extra 10$. Unless you can find a housing just for the front for a cheap price, like 10$.
