Recieved iphone case, some scratches but don't want to return. Chance for discount?

[pluu369]

Hello,

I have just recieved an iPhone 6s Plus case I ordered. After I put on phone I noticed 2 scratches on the bottom of the case like someone tried to pray the bumper off the rubber casing. I tried to replicate the scratches incase I had done them from handling it but no, not from me.

I don't want to return the case because I don't want the trouble to return a cheap item and I noticed when I bought the item the listing for that color was out of stock so I probably bought the last one meaning no replacement of same color if I did return. Also I really like the case and could live with the case as is with the scratches just dissapointed.

Is there a chance I can open a case and get a partial refund without sending the item back or do I have no chance and just live with it? How to go about this?

I was thinking I would just give them 4 stars and write about it in comments.

I would prefer ANY Holden to a Rolls Royce, but I didn't invent the saying.

My last comment could have been worded more appropriately. Now some people think I am scammer 

In the past I remember 3 items I bought that had problems.

Item 1: A power plug meter much like this one:

It worked for about a week then the display looked like it was starting to die because I could not read the numbers on it anymore. Did some research and turns out these things have a small battery inside them and other people who have the same problem had to take out the cover and take the battery out to fix it partially.

I did want to get either a refund or a replacement but did not bother with opening a case because I thought my only choice was to have to return it in order to get a replacement or refund. Looks like that is not the case (after the helpful info from this discussion) as I may only need to provide genuine proof it is trash

Item 2: Bought a new RAM chip for my old pc. It could not run at it's stated speed. Did some research after and found people had the same problem with the same chip too.

Again I did not want to open case for same reason.

Item 3: Bought a second hand CPU for my old pc. It could not run at it's stated speed without a bit of overvolting. Same situation but I would of accepted discount in this case.
