Tiny scratches on the shiny bevel around the screen!

this one's bugging me: i got my iPhone 6/29 and with it, bought the incase rubber sleeve ( http://tinyurl.com/2cc5wr ).
it wasn't until i took the sleeve off that i noticed a series of tiny little scratch-like nicks around the edge of the screen, on the front and side of the shiny chrome-like bevel. at first, i assumed, "oh, normal wear-and-tear, built-in obsolescence, just like any Apple product has." but then i looked at friends' iPhones and they didn't have the scratches. clean and shiny. even friends with the same sleeve.
i was hoping even that the scratches would compound and form a dull patina, like fine silverware. but that hasn't happened.
now, i remove the sleeve compulsively every day or two to clean the screen and rub off whatever dust might have gotten in there. but the sleeve has stretched, so that it's no longer snug and it's even easier for dust particles to get in there.
brought it in to the Apple store and they told me they'd keep an eye on it (which means nothing). they even tried to clean the scratches out with some iKlear and that didn't work.
anyone else have this issue? do me a favor - take out your iPhone and look at it.

I have the Belkin plastic case. I read a few posts that this case was awfull and scratches the phone....but i am very careful and i have no problems as of yet. I also read other posts about the same problem with other cases. Its a tough trying to figure out to go bare or case????? i also put my phone in a microfiber sunglass pouch this does help! I do this because i am concerned that pocket dust and lint may get under the screne. my RZR phone was filled with fine lint under the screne....a side not ...i also noticed that the brick dock can scratch the black plastic back as well as the chrome on the bottom which goes in....i noticed this at the apple store on the display phones...so i now only use the cord and plug no dock.

    Hello HernanOtt,
    Depends on where you have it serviced.  Here are Apple's repair quotes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    You would probably save a lot of money by having a 3rd party repair company do the job for you instead.  Just do a simple Google search for iPod repair and you'll get a plethora of results.

    Hi,
    When I look my iphone 4s screen carefuly , I see one piece tiny dust under the corner of the screen ! Are there any easy solution remove this ?

    How is the dust in there ?

    thanks

    I finally took my device to the Apple Store today. Due to having dust beneath the screen, as well as the crack, it meant they replaced the whole unit, rather than just the screen, which they would have done in the event of just dust.
    If anyone else has any issues, I'd highly recommend taking it to a Genius Bar. The staff were so helpful, and no questions were asked really.
    Well done Apple

    my total library is 680 mb, nowhere close to the 2.08 in the pictures folder. I am obviously messing up.
    Actually you’re not.
    The iPhoto Window reports the size of the library that would result if you exported all the current versions +and nothing else+ to a folder on the desktop.
    The iPhoto Library Folder contains the Original, Modified and thumbnail versions of your pics. It also contains various cache and database files +all of which are necessary+ for the working of the Library.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    You can run a Library on an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

    my iphone5 got two line scratches on the screen ,however iphone5 screen is gorilla glass2 then how scrathes were hapend on the screen ,kindly suggest me asolution

    Gorilla glass has never been claimed to be scratchproof.  Resistant, but not "proof".  I am afraid there is little you can do about it but pay for a screen replacement or out of warranty replacement phone from Apple.

  • Removing scratches on the screen

    Well I just got my case for my iPod, but there are some scratches on my screen already. They are not deep as I cannot feel them with my finger or fingernails, but they are visibile. Are there any solutions out there to fix this, such as polishing compounds or anything much like I use on my car?

    http://todd.dailey.info/archives/2005/09/27/restore-your-ipod-nano-to-new-condit ion-with-a-4-can-of-brasso/
    There's a link about the Brasso. Step by step tutorial on how to not ruin your ipod with Brasso haha. It can ruin it, you just have to be careful. I've used it before and it worked fine. Here's just a few tips to follow so you don't ruin your ipod since it can easily ruin it.
    -Test it in a small corner first.
    -Take your time.
    -Don't push down too hard.
    -A little goes a long way.
    -Careful around the clickwheel
    I recommend a microfiber cloth because it is smoother than a paper towel.When I used brasso on mine I rubbed it in for about 15-20 mins and a few times in that timeframe I would stop a couple times for 20 seconds and let the brasso dry/sink in and apply a little more and continue rubbing. It worked fine for me so I hope it works fine for you. And lastly all you do is just wipe it off with a clean area of the cloth you're using.
    On bad thing I did have was I didn't want to waste the little microfiber cloth I had (all I had was a small 2x2 inch square of it) I used a reg. paper towel for the back. It sure cleaned off all the grime on the back but it left behind tiny tiny tiny swirling scratches on the back. It's not a big deal to me but it might be to other people so I'd use microfiber the whole way around. Hope this helps..
    Brasso works fine. Everyone who says it ruined their ipod is because they did it WRONG and didn't read the tutorial or get tips on how to do it. I have a black ipod, i'd be careful on using it on a white ipod because I heard it turns it a yellow-ish color, but then I've heard people say it didn't on their white ipod. I guess it's just whoever did it correctly.
    I'd say go for it.

  • My new iPad have some scratches on the screen and a little crack, will I be able to get a replacement?

    My iPad overheated and it was so hot that i loosen it out of my hand and dropped to the floor, causes few scratches n a minor crack
    will I get a replacement for that?

    Without AppleCare+, no, not even a free repair.  You dropped it, so it's on your dime now.  You wouldn't expect free repairs to your car after crashing it into a pole, would you?
    Also, note that Apple may not be enthusiastic about repairing it, because a dropped iPad may have other issues beyond a broken screen.  Other internal components may have been damaged.  Buying a replacement may be the best way of getting back a reliably-functioning iPad.  But you could also go with a cheaper repair from a third-party company that will just replace the screen and let you worry about whether or not that repair is sufficient.  That kind of repair voids the warranty, but it's already void thanks to the damage anyway.

  • Scratches on the screen

    Despite how careful I was, my iPhone 4 has managed to get scratches on the front. Supposedly, it is supposed to be scratch proof... I have never dropped it or anything, the scratches must be from being in a bag or something. I there any chance Apple would fix or replace it for free? I recently read online about a guy who went into the Apple store for the exact same problem, and they replaced it for him. Free! Or does anyone know of a scratch remover? This is on the front screen (glass)
    Thanks

    Yes, really.
    From your link:
    "scratch resistant "
    Note - "scratch proof" is not mentioned once, anywhere, at all.
    Scratch proof, means that it cannot scratch.  This has never been claimed at all.  No glass is scratch proof.
    Scratch resistant means  that it is more resistant to scratches than untreated glass.

  • How to fix a scratch on the screen...?

    Hey Folks,
    While I was at the airport yesterday - some smart *** bumped into me and dropped my iphone on the ground (face first) and I got a scratch on the sreen maybe 2cm long and .5mm width (same depth, I would say - sorry for being very technical)...
    Now when I turn on my iphone and when the light some on the screen there is a multicolor reflection coming from this scratch, which is super annoying cause when you are looking on your screen you can notice this multicolor reflection at all times.
    So - how can I find a solution to this? Is there any? Or I just gotta live with the fact that I have a noticeable (and super annoying scratch on my screen).
    Thanks,
    -Joey

    What did you use and how did you use it? Sounds like you do auto body work. Can you give the details and instructions on how to accomplish this.
    No I'm not in the auto body biz, I do make detailing products though and my hobby is customs and hot rods.
    I use a very high end polish that's not found in stores but can be bought online or by phone. The maker is Zaino Bros... http://www.zainostore.com These polishes and glazes form a very tough protective coat on high end finishes. The cars in this link http://dftowel.com/lsc are treated with Zaino so this should give you an idea what can be achieved.
    To protect the phone I first lightly wiped it down with a dilution of Dawn dish detergent which removes all greases and oils that may be on the surface. Just dampen a sponge and wipe the surface.
    I then polished and buffed with Zaino Z-2. This was done three times front and back.
    For the final coat I lightly applied Zaino CS which is a hard glaze and allowed it to dry for an hour before using the phone.
    The buffing towel used is a DF Concours Towel http://dftowel.com. (DON'T USE AN OLD T-SHIRT!!! IT WILL SCRATCH)
    These steps will form a very hard protective coat on the phone and yet it is optically clear. Fingerprints, dust, smudges, whatever just wipe right off.

  • I very recently dropped my iPhone 5c and there are no cracks or scratches, but the screen in the top right hand corner popped out. I've only had my phone for at most 2 months. Will apple fix it?

    So, I dropped my phone and the screen popped out. Not fully only in the corner. I haven't had my phone for very long. If I take it to the apple store can they fix it? Or should I take it to my carrier?

  • I have an iphone 4 and it has tiny spots on the screen that is brighter than the screen's brightness

    The title says it all!
    is there a way to fix this problem?

    Those are probably stuck pixels and if so are a defect in the screen. If that is indeed the case, it's not something a user can fix. Call Apple Support or make an appointment at an Apple Store and discuss theproblem with them.
    Regards.

  • Anyone gotten any scratches on the screen yet?

    How is your screen holding up? Any scratches? If so how/when did it scratch?

    I am going on a week with mine and no scratches yet. I have not found a case I like so far and keep mine in my pocket. I work for FedEx and it gets banged around a bit in and out of the truck. I would say this is a pretty good test so far but I will get a case soon just to be safe.
