I currently use a silicone Switcheasy Colors case for my iPhone and have been using it since the day I got it. Every once in a while I remove the case to clean off dust from the phone's backing.

The other day I noticed these "blemishes" on the back of my iPhone. I pride myself is taking extremely good care of it, and there isn't a scratch anywhere. These blemishes aren't scratches; they look like dust but they don't wipe off. Theres no elevation nor recession from the iPhone's surface, so they seem as if they're kinda "melded" into the back.

Long story short, I have NO IDEA what they are. What are they??

They look like smudges but just won't come out. Maybe they're from the silicone case? I've tried a bunch of things: Compressed air, iClean computer display cleaner, Windex, microfiber cloth, to no luck.

I'm thinking about using GooGone on the back to see if that will remove them. I hope so, because I'm kinda OCD about keeping my phone perfect. :|

Here are the pics. It's exentuated in the second, with flash. They can only be seen when you glare it into the light.

Any ideas/advice?

Thanks in advance! :)
