inCase - Rubber Case Question

I have the same problem with the incase, i never checked for scratches until i started reading the threads.And there are scratches around the chrome or should i same plome (plastic chrome).I can live with it though out of sight out of mind.If my OCD kicks in i might try to remove the scrathes with some of the methods mentioned.I also tried those crystal film protecters i would guess that they work good if you can get them on without getting a single piece of dust on it.Or if you have the ability of not touching the underside of them.I tried both that come in the package and threw them both out.One of them had scratches already on it that you could see once i put it on.The other one got a piece of dust on it and it was over for me.I would by another set only if i can build a clean room or something and wear a suit.I also found out that Monster cleaner for lcd sceens works great on the iphone.It comes with a micro-fiber cloth with the spray bottle.

Except for the hideous duo color design, that revo looks like it will be quite nice. I hope they come in all black.

Apparently none of you ever owned an iPod.

My 3G iPod had a beautiful chrome back that could have been used as a mirror...for about 30 seconds. After that it was pure swirl marks and scratches. I set it down on a table 10 minutes after I got the thing and when I picked it back up, it was covered in scratches.

My opinion is to protect the phone, not the way the phone looks. A beautiful phone that won't turn on because you dropped it without a case is not much of a phone at all.

Go to bodyguardz.con for a thin clear protector. The rubber skin will fit on top so you can have the non-skid surface with risk of damaging your phone.

Um, WITHOUT risk of damaging your iPhone. "Ahem."

I am going to keep it caseless until iSkin releases the
revo case and see how that holds up.

iSkin revo looks like a pretty neat (and well thought out case). However, I wonder if dust/grit trapped between the "visor" polycarbonate screen protector and the glass will actually cause scratches on the glass similar to how other protectors are causing scratches on the chrome. Go to the beach, get a little grit in between, and bye-bye screen.

first off i do have this case. It is great, provides protection and is a good non slip surface for the phone. I never gave a thought to scratching until reading something on iphoneatlas this morning and seeing this thread. Examined my pjlhone amd have no scratching. Would recomend the case.

But this seems like a bunch of whining to me. Come on its aphone not a piece of art. I hope in a year mine shows to wear and tear expected for a device i use continually

I totally agree. I know I will regret it the moment I remove my rubber case and I damage the phone.

It's not a Lamborghini. It's just a device that you will replace later.

I'm using the Incase rubber sleeve and like it a lot - no scratches so far. I think black looks cool and I like the added protection from a drop.

I am going to try to use a Scotch-Brite pad and give the chrome bezel a dull, matte finish because I think it will look better and not show scratches as much when the iPhone is uncased.

If the bezel is scratching so easily and people are having luck with Never-Dull polishing out fine scratches, I think the chrome surface may take well to a Scotch-Brite "refinishing". The question is, how thick is the chrome layer? I'm pretty sure the bezel is real metal as this is the only part of the iPhone that "did not blend" in the Blendtec video!

I think I will use painter's blue tape on the glass and plastic back and have at the chrome with a Scotch-Brite! Perhaps smooth, continuous strokes around the chrome frame will create fine linear scratches for the proper look.

BTW, I have used Scotch-Brite pads on magnesium alloys and aluminum to create a really nice matte finish.

I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Best,

Kurt
