Default Who has IPhone damage?

I'll go first- i dropped it. Great design, so clean, so pure, so apple.
So...easy to drop! Wasn't too worried as it skidded off the cement- I watched a video of a torture test w/ the phone and was stunned at it's duribility. In the end they killed that phone, underwater!
Anyway, mine now has a small dent on the right side about the size of a pencil eraser, and a new scratch. No huge deal. It also has a rubber case to help it out when I don't.

I'm really interested in any cases of screen scratching (wondering if I \'m going to need a screen protector).
Anyone else? Horror stories?

Funny you say that. Mine has scratches because of the Incase rubber protector I put on originally. Now, I don't care too much about the scratches on the chrome part and actually bought another Incase after returning the first one. Granted, the first one was grey and I finally found the black one that I wanted many weeks later, but I just like it for the impact protection.

Mine has some tiny scratches on the chrome trim which don't bug me but I noticed yesterday that I have two tiny little scratches on the screen. I've cleaned it like mad hoping that it was dirt or something but it's not. I'm sooooo freaking bummed. It's not like I put that thing in with a bag of rocks. After seeing the demos of things people do to the screens I was surprised that it happened sitting in my purse. And 99% of the time it's in a dedicated pocket in the front so I'm not sure how it even happened.

Try using a dab of soapy warm water on a tissue - I thought I had a scratch and cleaned and rubbed the glass and it dint come out - until I used a little bit of some soap.

I have scuffs from a clear acrylic Belkin case. Other than scuffs most people wouldn't notice, mine is in good shape. Knock on the wood iPhone case!!!!

i was walking by, i tripped and my iphone flew into the blender, and at that same moment my mom turned the blender on full speed it flew out of the blender smashed through the kitchen window into my dogs water bowl and rolled, on the concrete floor, into a pile of rocks..........No scratches.

As soon as I bought my iPhone, the copy & paste and flash both stopped working. Go figure...

My old phone had scratches all over the bezel from the agent18. So with this new replacement one, im not using a case. My last phone also had some scratches on the screen from dropping it in my garage. As soon as i got this one, i put a screen protector on it. The antiglare at the apple store. And ive dropped my phone without a case and it was fine. On linoleum though. Not concrete. Although a case has saved my phone from concrete drops. Im just very careful now. I want it to be perfect as long as possible.
