Dust between screen and sides

Any ideas on how to protect the space between the screen and front edge of this awesome phone?
The gel case from sprint doesn't cover this gap, and there doesn't seem to be many cases out yet to fit the NS4g.
Is this even something to be concerned with?

ive never had an issues with sides usually can just blow and what ever if anything gets in between usually comes out.
And the screen is fused to the touch glass with adhesive no dust is getting between screen so no worries

The dust gets in the exact same place you referenced with me too, and I always get panicky, but I find that if I try to remove it myself, it just ends up worse somehow. They just seem to dissapear after some time in my pocket though. I'll check a few hours later, and bam, the dust isn't there anymore.

This product looks great to get the dust particles from my pocket out of my devices. Im gonna hit up a couple stores and pick this up, if its not off the wall expensive.

What to do when one of your HTC letters on back cover falls off.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?

LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.

i dont get it

[Q] Blobs on screen that only show when screen is dark?

Hi All,
I think I may have to return my Nexus under warranty, I am delighted with it as a tablet but have noticed I am getting blobs appear whenever the background is dark and especially on black backgrounds, I have taken a photo of them with the tablet turned off.

Anyone else experienced this?

I thought only amoled screens did this

It's probably the oleophobic coating coming off.

I will post a photo to show you what I mean as soon as I am permitted to.
I am surprised many people ever get past 10 posts on this forum having to type the image verification code every time and having to wait 5 minutes between posts and not allowed to post images or links!

Anyone got any ideas now photo is up?

Maybe from your case? My case gets little dust marks on my screen.

No, not dust, I have circled the 4 blobs in orange.

Like I said before, it looks like the oleophobic coating coming off. It's really strange that it would be coming off on a pattern like that... Is there a part of the case that has those 4 dots that could be rubbing on it?

I have something similar with my screen. It looks like a smudge fingerprint on the left side of the screen. I can wipe it off but it always comes back. I've tried soap, lens paper, water but it keeps reappearing after a few hours.

Checked and definitely no pattern like that on the case + when its closed it doesn't touch the screen anyway.

Just thought I would update on this, the problem didn't really get any worse but also didn't resolve so I have recently sent it back to Asus as it was nearing end of warranty period and they have put a brand new screen on now so a good outcome.

Strange stains appeared in my N4's screen

What is this? I can't clear it.

Fingerprint and face grease? Just wipe it off is all

Looks like fingerprint smudges.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Looks like face imprint, wash face, use a face lotion for oily skin, and wipe screen....

damp cloth with some dish detergent should take that off in a few seconds. Warm for best results.

I believe aliens are sending you messages. I can roughly translate it:
"Wash your hands"

Is it Jesus?

I think it's the Virgin Mary. :good:

I literally looks like a face smudge just wipe it off

It looks like they are under the screen. When I push it down, they get more dark but always remain there.

I have the same problem !
No seriously, I have the same problem ...
I just got the nexus and right out of the box (after peeling the plastic) I noticed the same thing... At first I thought it was the "peeling glue" but I couldn't get rid of it (I tried a fiber cloth).
The next day I took it to a local phone shop and they were surprised too, they tried different things and couldn't get rid of it....
I Googled it and found this post, I tried the detergent method (and yes it remove all my finger marks but those weird stains remained, I looked closely and it looks like it's bellow the screen itself, any one having the same issue and new suggestions?

Make as much fun as you want. I came across the exact same problem. I can't clean it off. I think they may have used a coating when making the screens and it is wearing off. That's why this happens.

OK so I called Google and they sent me a replacement device. You might want to look into that option.

somebody else found a solution i cant find the solution to this problem can u @ least tell me what to replace cause i dont have guarantee...?I can post a video about that stain btw...

Or maybe it could be a face smudge>..

Camera lens cracks not scratches

I have seen some reports of people thinking their lenses are scratched when in fact they are micro cracks. This is my third phone with this problem and I took some pictures to show people what to loo for and how to do it.
Here is a picture of what appears to be a scratched up lens.

But when you plane light off the surface of the glass you can see it is clean, they aren't scratches but micro cracks which in turn get bigger and look like scratches.

This is a defect that will come out more and more, somethings wrong, either they didnt put a rubber gasket around it or the phone flexes too much and its too thin to withstand the strain?
Look really close and you may see the beginnings of the cracks in your lenses too.

I dont see anything in your pictures as hard as I'm looking. I don't have anything on mine either. I wouldnt call it a defect. Something had to have happened for it to crack whether you noticed you did it or not. I used to say the same worth the Nexus 4 glass back. Things don't just break themselves. It's thick sapphire crystal.. Not glass.

Ok, you must not have read my post, this is the third one I have had with this issue. If you look at the top pic you'll see what looks like scratches on the bottom right of the lens itself, except they go all across the whole lens ( hard to photograph. The second pic shows a clean surface which proves they aren't scratches.
No I did not hit it on anything, had it in a case before I even left the store all 3 times. I also have a Nexus 4 without a scratch on it. Others are reporting scratches, but I wanted to show they aren't scratches at all, but cracks within the sapphire itself, and YES sapphire crystals damage easily, just look at watches with their sapphire crystals, and they are much thicker then this thin piece they used here.
