White iPhone gets dirty fast

what can I say? because it's pointless, its too small so you cant see them on the pics except u have a real camera (which I dont have!).
I tried taking some pics and I couldnt see the dirt so why bother posting them :/
But I can be sure with you that even though I got a screen protector and a case, they still get dirty on the side of the screen.

BTW, as I said, they could not be cleaned except you know a way to take apart the screen..
Talking about cleaning, I clean my stuffs (iPad/iPhone/iPod) all the time that's why I said i was so mad...

I use the the incase perforated snap-on on my white 64B 4S, no discoloration but got some lint in between te rubber rim, no big deal not noticeable unless you look for it... But I've had mine for 5 days, anyone whose had a white iPhone 4 with an incase snap for some time wanna chime in?

I hate people who perform month bumps.
 
if i put my white iphone in my jeans pocket (naked), will the matte white plastic turn blue?
 
I wanted the white iPhone, but I saw a white iPad on display at best buy and it was yellow. so horrible looking. I'm sure there were a bunch of little kids that never wash there hands playing with it, but I was repulsed..

;)sorry, just the way your question was worded, it made me think of that old saying, "when a tree falls in the woods..."

to answer your question, no.

did you get that white case i saw you asking about in the accessories forum?
 
Hey i know its a little silly but does anyone have any good tips on cleaning the sides?

I have a few marks here and there and don't want to effect the glass screen with any harmful chemicals.

How was the lighting in the room?

If it's not a well lit room it will appear to be yellow. I'm in a fairly dark room right now and looking at my white iPad 2 it looks yellow. But if you bring it up to a light or outside it looks bright as can be. So it depends on the lighting.

um not yet, i am currently using a cheap white tpu bumper which turned blue after 1 week of use.
I still dunno if i should get the sgp hybrid ex or the casecrown glider:)
 
Use a case. Problem solved. I have white iphone 4S as well and I'm using a case since I got my iphone 4S. Never been out and remains white.

casecrown, that is it. did i read its only available in Canada? i may be dreaming that. why couldnt it just be shipped here....so i think i am dreaming....
 
I have had the white iPhone 4 with a white bumper since March and I currently work for an equipment dealership. I am in the shop most of the time working with fuel, dirt, grease, oil and all of that fun stuff. Does the phone get dirty? Sure but it always wipes off extremely easily.

I wish I could say the same for the rubber edge of the bumper... that looks gross but the phone itself and plastic portion of the bumper clean up easily.

Worst comes to worst just bust out some wipes and go to work.

A bit late, but it depends upon jeans - with dark indigo colour they could paint your iphone/ipod a bit, with blue it's ok.
 
No way....

Ive had my white iPhone since day one and it is just as clean as the day I got it. The only way it may get dirty is possibly from lint or dirty hands. I really don't understand how your white phone gets dirty. I use micro fiber cloths from bed bath & beyond to wipe mine down three times a week at least. I use one that is damp and dry it off with the other. I also don't put my phone up to my ear to talk either because that transfers oil all over the front and then dirt and lint get stuck to it. So I guess that is what you are doing? Keep oil and dirty hands off of it and use the earbuds the phone came with to talk or use speaker. Your phone (white or black) will stay clean longer. It all boils down to how well you treat your phone. If it is just a phone to you and not a thing of beauty, then I can see how y'all wouldn't take as much pride and care of the phone, therefore it gets cruddy looking.
