Why am I like this ever since Ive gotten my iPhone4?

[Savor]

Personally for me, it just has to do with good hygiene. I can be like that not only with the iPhone. The thing is our phone tends to be the gadget we carry and hold the most. Considering the iPhone 4 is a slab of glass and fast food can be greasy and deals with using our hands, it is only natural to clean up before touching the phone again.

I try not to get OCD with my phone, but will clean the glass when it starts having that gooey feel. I only clean it once every couple days. But I do wash my hands with soap if I ate something before or if my hands got dirty from chores.

My advice is to scratch it, that feeling will soon dissapear.

I think I wash my hands more now as well but on the bright side, I haven't gotten sick in a reaaally long time.

Yeah, dropped my 3G the second day I owned it. Solved that problem real fast.

I agree, but in my case Im so screwed up that I use hand sanitizer before I was my hands, because I noticed that purell is simply an illusion that makes it seem as if your hands are clean, but it actually just adds a temporary coating of clean layer above the dirt. Thats why when you wash your hands after applying sanitizer you can feel the dirt slip off.

Im about to go wash my hands right now, I need help lol

Ok seriously, come on Mac Rumors forum
This right here is a clear example of OCD/delusional disorder.
Can we please put all the childish insults away for a quick second and recognize this isn't normal.

SydneyJunkie, this really isn't normal, if this persists for a while/interrupts with you daily routine I would really go talk to a doctor.

I'm exactly the same. I also make my friends was their hands before they use my iPhone too, on the rare occasion that I let them.

a little excessive, but the phone looks so sleek when its glossy clean

When i bought new shoes, it's a little bit like that.

First i treat them like diamonds, so that they don't get dirty and look new and shiny.
But after a few weeks, they are just another pair of sneakers.

I also wash my hands a lot, well my hands and face, lol. I don't like feeling dirty. I probably wash my face 4-5 times a day while washing my hands twice as much. I don't feel that i am crazy or have some condition. It doesn't hinder my day cause it only takes a minute or two to do. I also make sure my hands are clean before i use my iphone as well. I can't stand fingerprints/ oil on my phone. It really aggrevates me when my wife uses it and leaves her makeup behind on the screen.

and for the jack@$$ that said about being too poor to pay for the replacement....i work hard for my money and take care of things i buy. It's called being responsible. why would i abuse my devices to just have to pay for them 2 and 3 times over. I enjoy my phone plenty without having to throw it around and not care what happens to it. That sounded like a comment from a 16 year old that has mommy and daddy pay for everything.
