Dozens of microscratches just noticed! WTF

[Blorzoga]

I just pulled my phone outstay pocket and looked at the screen and there are dozens of micro scratches on the frontAND back of my screen. They are very small and short, at first I thought it wasjust dust or lent from my pocket until I tried to wipe em off. I looked at my phone under a bright light and noticed that they are all over the glass on the front and back of the iphone4. I take extremely delicate care of my phone. Never once has anything shared a pocket with my iPhone in my front left pocket and I wear a bumper so it is always elevated.

It's really taking me aback because I'm constantly checking for scratches and never noticed any and now I seeing many many many scratches. They are all about 1-3 mm in length if not smaller, but very abundant.

Anyone else have this problem?

Maybe you've been playing a little too much pocketball.

is it the glass that scratched or the coating?

Today I pulled my phone out of my pocket and it had been in a pocket of its own all the time. I noticed one quite largish scratch surrounded by a bunch of microscratches. Surprised me cause it took a while for my 3G to accumulate a large scracth. Oh well I guess it is just a phone at the end of the day.

Really? Like what Roofy? Getting women?


It's not like i thoroughly cleaned it and pulled out a bright light detective style, and I understand the insignificance of barely noticeable scratches. The main points I was making were that I just pulled it outta my pocket like any other occasion but this time noticed many scratches when previously I have noticed none. Also it was a general inquiry to the mr population to see if others share my same plight.

Getting women would be a good starting point.

Getting women would be a good starting point.

Getting women would be multitudes better than obsessing over light scratches.

Can I apply and take off the IS as I want?

I just pulled my phone outstay pocket.....I take extremely delicate care of my phone.

No you don't. You phone does not belong in your pocket without a shield.

Never once has anything shared a pocket with my iPhone in my front left pocket and I wear a bumper so it is always elevated.

You should have brought a bigger "bumper" or brought a Playboy and used more elevation

With all your incessant rambling about "manly" things I'm beginning to think you have problems relating to insecurity.

Couldn't have said it better myself. And what was that comment about picking up women? Pro tip OP - Your phone isn't your phallus.

have you cleaned it with a microfiber cloth from an old iphone or anything?

mine always looks like it has scratches but I take it out of the case and clean the front and back with the cloth from my 3G and look at it under a light every day and it looks brand new like it just came out of the box.
