Assuming you mean hydrogen peroxide...
Did you dilute at all?

a wet fabric does very well the job for mine bumper.

Try toothpaste with a brush. (It has whitening) If it works for my white shoes, it should work for it too.

If you say it works then I'll be trying them soon. I actually just got my white bumper, just have to wait until it gets dirty.

I got one of my white bumpers a lil cleaner with a magic eraser like the Mr clean ones or any off brand. It was my replica one and I'm just being more careful with my OEM one.
We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?

If it`s going yellow, bleach it. (cold water though)

Mine got pink on both sides where I hold the phone

1. Buy a cover. This prevents lens making contact with anything you lay phone down on.
2. Never put mob in pocket with coins, keys or any other hard objects.
3. use your Common sense.

I flashed no scratch last week and although it hasn't removed the old scratches it definitely works in preventing new scratches in conjunction with learning to look after my phone

Its a rom you need to flash with mobile odin, it tries to remove scratches but only the light ones. You need to root first offcourse

There are several "wipe" functions, but I would research them extensively before using any. You might accidently remove scratches from your screen instead of your camera.
On a serious note. DO NOT MESS WITH RECOVERY.

Unlock and root before you do anything since that wipes the phone.
Don't be that excited.. It's still just an android phone. You may want to buy it a few drinks first to make sure you even get it before you worry about how fast it comes.
Do a factory reset after turning it on, then set it up.

Why
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Keep calm and Fastboot oem unlock
Put it in a case
Screen protector (make sure you actually take off the initial protectors before you put a screen protector)
WiFi to set up your Google account
Latex gloves if you don't want to put finger prints on it.
Pepper your angus
First thing to do is unlock bootloader, get a custom recovery and start flashing!

Hug it, kiss it. Spin around with it in slow motion gazing slowly into its screen. Then use it. Use it like life depends on it.

I doubt one exists. You could probably make your own though.
You just need some anime comic books or anything similar with some clear plastidip.

You should buy a new one on eBay. It is the only way I think.

LOL my thought exactly, nowdays people want unibody + SD + removable battery + unbreakable + scratch proof screen, water resistant, bomb resistant soon
Basically a phone that is indestructible not matter what and it must be below 130gram of course and have a big screen and battery.
Still looking for suggestions...

I've got the TEP, but I was curious over whether or not I have another way to fix this screen before I drop 100$ on it, maybe something to do with the 14 Sprint Return? Anything there that could help me out? Samsung Repair?
Spend the $100
For once it is a good thing to live in South Africa, Samsung is giving us here the following:
