My screen has been cracked in the corner for months , does no affect the phone , o2 will replace @ £150.00 . it's only a phone
Give it a month or two and it will be covered, the casing scratches so easy I wouldn't even worry about.
Just used Megs Scratch X worked a treat, useless on paint work great on Iphone casings!

Their are loads on ebay to choose from, just got to take the time to have a browse and pick one.

Good Hunting!!
I've got a case on mine. The case is battered from all the times I've dropped it but there is not a mark on the phone itself!

OMG £14.27 for a kit to just open the phone, man everything about the Iphone is expensive.
Good website though

If you don't mind having to remove it from a slip case each time you want to use it, the Exspect leather case has kept mine looking top notch..

Don't see the point of having a slim phone then putting a whopping case on it!!

I bought a leather case for mine but hated having to remove the phone to use it so I binned it and got the scratch proof Zagg invisible shield, £13 from eBay. Still scratch free after nearly a year and makes the phone grippier as well keeping the nice slim form of the phone.


edit: doug beat me to it.

And T-Cut'ing a phone, seriously? That's right up there with the guy that detailed his Dyson.

Yet some people value it like a style accessory and I'm sure they would do everything to keep it in tip top shape.
But yes T-cut is a bit OTT!

Mick glad you have joined us in the 21st centuary, but you are a clumsy
. who gets lost on the A1.

i have a thin jell back on mine with a union jack on, you can get them with your own pictures on if you wish. my white iphone back started looking red ish after a couple of weeks so it was time for a cover.

very thin as well mate

Mines wrapped in vinyl to protect it from scratching.

Adds nothing to the size at all!

Trust me guys. Had this on all my iPhones and it is the best thing out there. So thin so you dont have to bulk it up and if i could cover my car in this stuff i would think about it! Its same stuff they coat helicopter blades with and if anything gets through that to scratch your phone then you've obviously fell off a building or been hit by a bus so i guess that would be the last thing to worry about!

Cheers for the suggestions guys the Invisible shield looks like the way forward, Yeah T cutting the phone is a bit too far
, I just like to look after things and I was still in contract when I bought it so I paid the full price for the handset. On the plus side there is a guy where my missus works who runs a small Ebay shop in his spare time says he will replace screens for £45 Bargain!!! so might just wait while I get more scratches and just replace the screen as and when.
