Scratches on silver border surrounding iPhone - iPhone 3G

rrjr80 · 07-04-2007, 04:52 AM

Anyone else having problems with scratches on the silver border surrounding the phone? I'm having no problems at all with the glass screen or the Apple logo on the back, but small scratches are popping up on the silver border. It bothers me simply because I've been very careful with the phone and have been storing it inside of a soft case even when it is inside of my empty pocket.

Just wondering if anyone else is aggrivated with this. Since I've only had it a few days, I can only imagine how many scratches I'll have on that silver border in a few months.

I wonder if the iPod scratch remover solutions will work well on this silver surface if the times comes that I have a significant amount of scratches.

Nope, I havn't gotten any scratches yet. *knock on wood*
I'm going to go buy a case soon.

Yes, it is extremely scratch prone. Also the silver paint finish on the back is very thin and I have already noticed small pin pricks and scratches, I ordered an invisible shield today but it still won't protect the the silver ring.(it is doomed to be scratched)

Yeah, I really wish they would have picked something different for the border other than the "Super Scratch iPod surface".

Yes, I was a little upset when I saw my first scratch, but this is going to happen to everything.
