Am I the only one that will take the time to routinely clean there incredible? I have a screen protector and a case on my phone. And when I have down time ill take the case off and wipe it all down with 95% alcohol wipes, and use compressed nitrogen (from work) and lightly blow all the fuzz and dust off it. Making sure not to blow on the speakers of course.
Just was wondering what you guys do to keep it clean.

It feels like a new phone afterwards. I always get down time at work in the beginning of the months so take my time on it. And its cool we have clean room equipment so I always have the wipes and the nitrogen. Kinda wish I could bring in the Xbox and blow it out too.

You could blow out the speaker from the force of the compressed air.

yeah the speakers have a paper cone and could blow out if you do a direct hit. for me i can adjust how much nitrogen is coming out of hose. just don't get it to close.
I got a couple of those monster screen cleaner kits that I got from work a couple of years ago that I use. Monster forgot to drill holes in the spray bottles so we were to to throw the defective ones away. The spray and the microfiber cloth work wonders cleaning the screen and the silicon parts of the case that get dusty. At retail of $20 a kit, its not worth it but if you can get it for less then I highly recommend it. Plus you can use it to clean all other plastic gadgets guilt free

Every once in a while I'll take off the back and dust it out. Mainly the camera lens cover, I'm always getting a ton of dust under it. I don't have a screen protector or a case and it is still in great condition. Can't say the same for the back of my iPod though, stupid chrome.

I usually walk into home depot twice a month and use the tool rentals air compressor to blow out the accumulated dust from the rear cover.
Occasionally i'll make the mucrofiber cloth damp, just enough to get the

If there are any fibers or lint on the speaker screen you can use a small strip of Scotch tape and lay it GENTLY over the speaker screen to remove. Works wonders but do not press on!

My cleans itself never had a problem with it no cover or screen protector. The way they built these phones they take a pretty good beating and they keep on trucking. I am just amazed that my phone don't have any scratches with the many times my 2 year old had dropped it on the floor. It is really an Incredible!

It slipped out of my hands grabbing it off the desk cradle late at night. Hit my roomates fridge, my fridge, and my bed before landing face down on the tile. 5 foot drop. No protection. I use a silicon case to give it some bulk during the day, not at night. Tiny chip... period sized. On the screen.

Exactly, I use my phone a lot in class to surf the web and supplement the lecture. (I'm a geek get over it) I also leave it on vibe. Not only was the vibe incredibily loud plastic on desk or book, but since the back is so slippery it would easy move around and not stay put.
The silicon case let's it grip the surface its on and drastically quiets the vibe noises. It also gives it some bulk which I quite appreciate when carrying it around

It took 4 drops in a drop test. It can take a bit of a beating, but nothing like my Droid could. It's so strange moving to a phone that is so light. If you take off the battery cover the phone is amazingly thin. What really makes it seem weak is that you can tap the screen and feel the vibrator moving.
You can do that on my eris too. At first I thought there was something wrong with it until I felt others do it too, even the incredible "does"

Gorilla glass does not make a phone invincible dude. It is just a lot more damage resistant. Even in *proper* tests they arent showcasing the lack of damage, they are showcasing how little damage it took versus what would have happened to a normal glass screen. I already said above the GG is why im still using my phone now, but what was also stated above is that it took 4 drops to kill it in a drop test, which I can confirm.

But I think I need to get a case since the back of the phone feels slippery. Or is there any battery cover replacement that made from rubber?

Telus sells the Casemate for the nexus S in store. it adds a little more bulk, but overall i'm very happy with the case.
You could buy a cheap InvisibleShield-like full body protector on ebay and just use the back part for grip.
It did make a dent at one corner after I dropped it from my desktop on to a 300W transformer sitting next to my desk

I don't see why not. It's just a polish. You use a little at a time with a microfiber cloth until you are satisfied with the look. If I ever scratch my screen I will definitely try it. There are other options out there but the Maguires worked well and is readily available.

That is a plastic polish. We have glass, and not just glass, but super hardened glass called gorilla glass. I don't think that headlight polish would do anything.

Actually, it's 35 bucks for any work. Even replacing the phone within the first year if you don't pay for TEP. The only thing they would turn you down for is lquid damage or a lost phone, or a screen crack greater than two inches.
So yeah. Just take it in, they'll put a new (well, used, if they have the part harvested) front panel and keyboard on.

I've never had a case before and didn't want one for this phone because I didn't want to loose the thinness either. Very glad I did though. The phone is still very thin and (on the black case) has a nice matt, slightly grippy texture which I personally find preferable to the standard backing.

Looks real good, but it's a little expensive, is it worth it?

I see this thread and shake my head.
Getting a decent case is the first step to protecting a phone that you just spend a lot of money on. It might make it a little less thinner, but it will offer better grip and allows you stop babying every time you set in the table.
As for the dude that broke the glass, that was probably like the one weak spot. GorillaGlass isn't supposed to scratch or crack. Just avoid putting the phone in the same pocket as your keys and you shouldn't need to waste money on a screen protector.

gorilla glass is NOT scratch proof, keys won't damage the screen but dust will , the kind of dust/dirt that it's usually on people's pockets
I only ever keep it in a pocket without keys or anything else so never worry about a case.
The phone was on the floor next to my chair charging up while i was watching tv, knocked a fork off the coffee table and you guessed it, right on the phone.
No screen protector is gonna protect against that happening lol.
Everything is working fine actually. just feels a bit iffy when sliding over the long cracks in the glass.
Will be going in for new screen under insurance claim as soon as i been on my hols. so stuck with it like this for a few weeks.
Where can I get one from?
Hey guys,
So I've had the Nexus 4 for around two weeks now and it's too well designed of a device for me to resort to using screen protectors although I will be getting a thin case soon since it is quite slippery. I was just wondering what some of you do in order to maintain the condition of the device. I've simply been using a dry microfiber cloth - usually used on my eyeglasses - and rubbing gently until all the smudges are gone. This keeps it quite clean for 3-4 days but I don't know if that period will shorten with prolonged use. Any and all tips are appreciated, thanks in advance!
I just usually rub it on my shirt. Takes the smudges off in one wipe

Not fair
He guys im new and i had a question about keeping my nexus 4 clean. So when i recieved my nexus 4 i had it naked without a screen protector or case, then i decided to buy a full body xtremeguard screen protector, which was 6 dollars. They arrived and i tried putting them on the next day. They were wet installation which i didnt really like. I had to use a bowl of handsoap and water. So I installed them and tried to accelerate the drying process a little by using a blow dryer, but guess what, it really made the beautiful screen look all ugly and disoriented so i took them off and decided to keep it the way. and applied a little more water to the glass to get all the soapy residue off and dried it off a little more. The next day I noticed that when i held it in sunlight I noticed this white stuff inside the crevices in between the glass and the edges of the phone. SO whats bothering me is that i think its dried soap in there and blow drying it only made it worse. But wheat really gets me ticked off is that i wanted to keep my phone perfect and clean but that stuff is still in there and i dont know how to get it out. Its just killing me. Ive tried water, q tips, even scraping it out with printer paper but no luck. Can anyone give me ideas or help plz?? thx. IM sorry if this a very long post
Should have left the XtremeGuard on there, it takes a few days for them to dry properly and until they do, they look like a disaster.
As for the left overs, maybe a fingernail will be able to scrape it out?

Fingernail is thicker than paper. If he can't get it out with paper....Try using a needle I guess?
Oh nope I already tried that when my nails were longer and now there even more useless ha. Its too deep in there. But I guess I'll keep searching though. Any type of liquid I could use to dissolve it or something?

Not related to the above posts as such but more the actual thread title, a pair of jeans works very well. Wiping the phone on my knees while wearing jeans gets rid of everything, and no smears either. Looks like new, much better than T-Shirts.
anyone have advice on how to clean the ear piece grill? putting my nexus 4 in my jeans and pockets add lint to the inside of the grill. it annoys me. any advice on how to get it super clean and all black again?

Compressed air, but be careful not to blow it to closely.
As far as cleaning the screen itself, I use monster LCD/plasma TV cleaner I got at best buy. Its a little pricy but I've had it for 3 years and works wonders on all my phones, even on screen protectors.
I do not have any advice as far as what to do what the residue in the screen your talking about.
I have a screen protector on the screen and have been thinking about removing it lately. I had a convo with my neighbor who never uses a protector on his phones. He never has gotten a huge scratch on gorilla glass, and to be honest I rarely ever change my protector and prob sacrifice more clear screen using one vs not...

Hey guys,
So I've had the Nexus 4 for around two weeks now and it's too well designed of a device for me to resort to using screen protectors although I will be getting a thin case soon since it is quite slippery. I was just wondering what some of you do in order to maintain the condition of the device. I've simply been using a dry microfiber cloth - usually used on my eyeglasses - and rubbing gently until all the smudges are gone. This keeps it quite clean for 3-4 days but I don't know if that period will shorten with prolonged use. Any and all tips are appreciated, thanks in advance!

Tech Putty and a microfiber cloth (any cheapo one will do).

Get yourself a small camera lens puffer (like a rocket). Great for getting dust and lint out of nooks and crannys, but not enough force to damage anything nor any chemical agents (like in canned air).
my ear piece and mic is a bit dirty, I don't think air will get it out. can you use alcohol or something similar??

Use a brush? Like a paintbrush or makeup brushes
