Are these scratches or what...?

Earlier when I turned my G1 over, I found multiple lines on the back of the battery cover, I have no idea what they are but they obviously don't look very good. The phone has always been kept in a case and only today have I noticed them. I have a white G1 so the cover is a light bronze color. The lines resemble lines made by a pen very lightly. However, after applying alcohol (hand sanitizer), water, soap and intense rubbing it will not come off. Has anyone ever scratched their cover? What does it look like? I know this is a very... strange question to ask haha.

suppose we can't really tell unless you get us some pics
my guess is, it's either a scratch or a crack.

I cant take any pics... they don't show up very well in the picture. But ah well, my Shield Skin comes in a few days, and new themes will be released in like a week from the competition to make me feel better. In the end I will probably end up just buying another battery case for 10 bucks off eBay. Must be my OCD haha.

[Q] Lots of dead pixels

Hi all!
I've had my streak since august now, and lately it has developed some screen weirdness in the upper corners. It started in the upper left corner, but it didn't bother me (i can still press the menu-button up there). Now it has duplicated to the upper right corner, and that bothers me some more - i can't see what time it is..
Is there anyone else who's experiencing this kind of problem? Does anyone have a clue what the dell return policy would be in this case? I live in Norway, so i'm not sure i want to return it if the dead pixel patches doesn't grow.. (i'll probably have to pay tax for the phone when they return it in the mail!)

Looks like your LCD broke underneath the glass. It should be covered under warranty, though they might make things difficult for you if there is any visible damage to the outside.

Seems like you have your streak on the trouser pockets most of the time, and in that time seems like it has been pushed against the screen for so long that the pixels are burning... Just my tought. don't know if this is cover under warranty but you can probably get away with it because there is no sign of misuse.

EVO Screen Abuse.. taking requests

I dropped my evo a few weeks ago and chipped the bottom-left corner of the glass. It still works fine but with the E3D right around the corner I decided it was time to call in for a replacement so I have a good one to sell when I get the 3D. Lucky me.. they sent me a new one, not a refurb
Before they turn my phone into a viable refurb they're going to have to replace the screen so before I send the old one back I intend to find out just how much damage the screen can take.
I've horrified a few people here, showing them the screen needs no protection by TRYING to scratch it with knives, screws, keys, coins, etc..
I'm going to take some video of the forthcoming torture but am open to suggestions before I begin
This is the current state of my evo:

do you have access to any gunpowder?
I was thinking tit would be interesting to see you cut a little line of gunpowder, like a line of... you know, some other powdery substance someone might arrange on a glass surface...
And light it up!

slide it face down in the street. there maybe glass in the street.

Take a diamond to it lol

[Q] Plastic layer on camera?

Hi guys,
For a long time I'm wondering is there's a plastic layer on the camera when you buy it. I notice something that could go for a plastic ring-formed layer around the camera lens, that holds a little dust at the rounded edges with time, but cant be pulled off? I tried all differend kind of things, but it won't come off... Still, I asked everyone of my family to see if they agree they see a plastic ring too, and they all said yes..
Have you noticed anything like this on your S4 camera?

Yes, there is a plastic guard on camera.
In my case, it popped out a bit from corner some months ago, which I later pulled off.

I cant seem to pull it..

there is a plastic layer over it
remember I tried to pull it off also and had some trouble since it seem not to remove
try with a sharp razor (at least that way I managed to remove it)

Screen softness?

I've had the phone for 24 hours now, and I've already noticed a lot of tiny scratches at the top of the display (by the camera/2nd screen). Several of these scratches go right across the camera, and they all seem to be going vertically up and down the glass right at the curve point. I truly haven't set this phone down screen side down, and the only thing I can think of is it getting scratched going in and out of my jeans. I keep it in my right front pocket all by itself. I'm super disappointed in the glass so far. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: Photo's.

Mine did as well, I removed it first thing because it had 4 small bubbles in the middle of the display. I just figured it was for transport like every other phone comes with. I'll post photos in my original post.
