Can you share the cleat production documents between the silicone casing and the upper and lower pcb?

This could also be caused by improperly cured epoxy (wrong amount of catalyst, not mixed well enough, etc), so it may be an issue with the process rather than a reaction with the silicone cover.

Just today I removed my Ultra from the silicone case for a while and noticed some unevenness on the epoxy. Shrugged it off as "always been there" but this makes more sense.

That said... What the actual heck!

It is most likely due to plasticisers in the silicone!
