Fix scratches/dents on iPhone 5C

I dropped my new white iphone 5c on the ground and it's edges and back managed to get a few scratches and dents. I really miss the seamless, smooth surface of my phone and was wondering anyway I could get this fixed? any ideas guys ?
I don't think this can be fixed by taking it to an apple store, also sanding will make this worse.  I' would really appreciate any tips or ideas

There's no way to fix dents, and probably no way to polish out a scratch unless it's very shallow. If you don't want to pay Apple's replacement price - US $79 if you have AppleCare+, US $269 if you don't -  I'd suggest just getting a case or skin to cover over the damage.
Regards.

  • To avoid scratches/dents on your iPhone...

    As I've been going around reading everyone's post about...scratches and event dents? on the iPhone....well heres what I have noticed.... The DOCK is amazing but for some reason, the chrome part of the iPhone is somehow resilient of keys and those kinds of stuff because I put it in my pocket on the first day along with my keys and cards and etc the whole day and not a scratch on it but the past 3 days I've been docking it, the plastic dock does a couple of scratching to it.
    Dents? I haven't seen that but here's what I have observed from my iPhone. When it sync, there is barely heat on the phone but when its charging only, the heat is crazy. I plugged it in to charge and I even turned it off and as you know, a part of the back is plastic. So if you dock it overnight charging, the heat probably does that dent while on the DOCK, so I dont know if Apple has any software fix to this but one advice I have is to avoid the dock FOR NOW.
    Hope this helpful for anyone.

    I keep my iPhone plugged in every night, directly in the wall charger, and have not notice any unusual heat and/or scratches/dents to the phone.

  • How to fix scratches?

    Are there any products that will fix scratches on the glass/screen of the iphone? Some sort of glass polish??? Please post if you have sucessfully fixed one of your scratches and name the product!

    You should replace the screen.   It is very unlikely to be a warranty or Apple Care job because scratches are invariably the result of damage on the owner's part.   I don't know the cost; it could depend on your whereabouts.   In a country not too well represented by Apple, it would be more than in North America, for example.
    You could fit it yourself if you are technically competent and uTube has videos to show you how.

    Contact the carrier to troubleshoot.  The issue described has nothing to do with the phone.

  • How can I fix a dented sleep button

    How can I fix a dented sleep button on the iPad??

    That's an ongoing problem with this recent version of iPhoto as you can see from the topics at the right under "More Like This".  The workaround that works for all is to export the photos to a folder on the Desktop and upload to Facebook with your browser until a fix is found.

    Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
    Best of luck.

  • After i installed ios 7 in my iPhone 4s and I got problem to login into my icloud account. There is a message appear and said  "the operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)" can you help me ? how can i fix this problem ? iPhone 4

    After i installed ios 7 in my iPhone 4s and I got problem to login into my icloud account.
    There is a message appear and said  "the operation couldn't be completed (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"
    can you help me ? how can i fix this problem ?
    iPhone 4, iOS 7
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7, (com.apple.appleaccount error 403)"

    Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
    Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
    Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
    How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
    Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
    Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
    Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
    Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
    It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.

    Nah... there simply is not iOS 6 Wi-Fi problem with the 4S.  I have not experienced any issues and neither has anyone else I know with iPhones.
    User's like yourself really should drop the attitude and try some basic troubleshooting.

  • Scratched my black iPhone 5 only  a wee one but any ideas how to remove

    I scratched my black iPhone 5 when I dropped it its new so I'm gutted. It's only a wee scratch but any hints for removing this

    Cloud and itunes. But I got a new ipad and changed some settings to get my notes and other stuff to sync between both devices. I must have changed something because they only go back to the date I got the ipad and changed the settings to do this.

  • I need to fix a broken screen. iPhone 5 any ideas?

    I need to fix a broken screen. iPhone 5 any ideas?

    Contact Apple support at the appropriate number from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask about possible screen replacement being offered in the UK for the iPhone 5...in the US that is only done on the iPhone 5, and not at all Apple stores at this time.  Only certain ones are doing so.
    If that is not an option, an out-of-warranty replacement for the iPhone 5 is $229 in the US, convert to Pounds Sterling.

  • Does apple have a fix for loss of iphone usb tethering following itunes upgrade?

    Has apple or someone produced a software patch to fix the loss of iPhone usb tethering following itunes software upgrade?

    1. Now about looking at the detailed usage summary online, you can not go by it to see the exalt date/time stamp of the data usage. Because, by design the cell towers will collect and store certain data usage for up to a six-hours period. After the six-hour period, then the cell towers will release the stored data usage to the company's servers. And at that time, the collected data usage will be recorded on your detailed usage summary online. For a long time, I brainwork that I had caught Verizon with their hand in the cookie jar for say. Because I knew that we were not using data usage at these odd-ball hours of the night or day. Yet, now I have learn that this is just not the case.
