The problem with Matte is that some manufacturers achieve the Matte texture by spraying on this rubber-like coating on top of cheap plastic (which would normally be glossy) to make the item's build quality look and feel more premium. That's all nice and good but after several months, that rubbery coating tends to degrade into this sticky mess that attracts lint and dust and leaves this sticky residue on your skin when you touch them. This kind of material is actually used a lot in products made in Asia, and the thing is that it is often hard to tell from a picture or just by looking at it if the surface in question is actually a Matte Plastic finish or if it's just treated with that rubbery coating. And believe me once that rubber coating starts to go bad, you'll either need to throw it out or just deal with the unsightly dust and lint, or worse tolerate the sticky residue it leaves on your skin if it is something you have to touch frequently. You can actually strip the rubbery coating off of plastic surfaces with some alcohol and a lot of elbow grease, but doing so can be a major pain depending on how thickly they laid down the coating in question and how uneven the coated surfaces are. And even then, you'd be hard pressed to remove all of the coating, meaning that you'd end up with a pretty unsightly end product. In either case, if several plastic items start going sticky and gross on you, you'll probably start to lean towards purchasing things with glossy plastic, knowing that at least it won't have that dreaded rubber coating that will eventually go all sticky and gross on you.
