I wear dress pants for work and jeans for casual wear and I keep getting dust and lint fibers in the headset and the speaker and mic grills. Is there any tips on how to keep them clean? Or is that just the nature of owning an open phone and keeping it in your pocket?
 
ive succesfully used compressed air, just get a big can and itll last you a really long time, you dont have to use it alot.. It works great
 
i use the toothpick for speakers and compressed air for the other ports. Thats just me being OCD, as it is not neccesairy
 
I would never recommend using compressed air for a task like this, because you risk blowing the dust INTO the phone itself. Although I don't think its possible to have dust stuck behind the screen anymore, I would still avoid this method.
