Hello on ebay there are some used official iphone x silicone cases but they are genuine apple cases I may buy them but they have been used so is there a chance that if there is any dust on the microfibre part of the case the case may scratch the phone?
Got a tip for us?

Uhh yes, why would you buy a used silicone case? How much cheaper can it be compared to a new version?
Yeah, I mean ultimately it’s up to you but if it were me, it’s not worth it. I’d rather get it new and have a warranty with it than get a used one.. but that’s just me
done a live chat with apple said shouldnt scratch phone but to give case a wipe before putting it on, think i wont bother with it now though
On eBay, it is much more likely to be counterfeit ones than used.
For £10 it’s worth buying one to see if it’s worth the money. If you’re worried about dust, you could wash the case first in warm, soapy water.

Seriously, it’s not a bad option to look on eBay. I just sold two-an 8 Plus dark Olive for $4.50, and a violet for around 8 bucks. I bought them on impulse, thinking I was going to get those phones, and I have absolutely no use for them since I got the X. They’ll just sit in a drawer and eventually become utterly worthless. I’ve gotten similar deals from the buyer’s end as well. Just be patient, and really scrutinize the integrity of the seller.
Also, you can just vacuum out the interior of the case-I’ve yet to see embedded dirt in the microfiber lining.
Or you can just get it from Apple for full price..
