removing scratches (iPhone 3G)

Hi,
these scratches are hard to get rid of the bigger and deeper they are. i would not try touchup paint or plastic repair paint. it may discolor the back of the phone. if you have a black iphone 3g, i suggest trying black electrical tape, if you have white iphone 3g, try a thin strip of white tape. otherwise, i suggest getting a case and keep it on, i have a case on both of my iphones and they have no scratches on them. A hard case with soft plastic is a great idea, a black and white incipio case with plastic corners has done wonders for my 3g. you risk nothing with a case besides water damage.

The case is plastic, so any plastic polish may work.

But if you are sliding it in and out of something it will get scratched. It all depends how deep your scratches are and how much time you want to spend.

I used to repair tubs/spas, and scratches can be polished out of plastics.

I would just ignore it if you've had the iPhone for a while and just cover it with a case. The back of the iPhone doesn't bother me. What bothers me is the scratches on the glass where you watch movies on.

Unless you are very skillful at using the plastic coating, otherwise stay away from polishing as you might damage the coating of the iPhone 3G especially the Silver Apple. There is no coating on the Silver Apple Logo. There are two solutions to avoid getting your phone scratched in the future.

1. INCASE slider and apply tapes at the top and bottom bezel, do not keep sliding the phone in and out of the case, because dust might trap in between while you slide and scratch the back with vertical lines.

2. Zagg's invisible shield to cover the back but don't apply the front for the touch screen. Also NEVER combine slider INCASE with invisible shield as the slider will pull off the invisible shield.

Finally, I'm not trying to teach you to be dishonest, but if you apply the Zagg's invisible shield and sell your phone by saying your shield has been applied since launch, people might actually believe you. Once you have correctly applied the shield, you can't see any hairline scratches.

I just found my Incase slider and slid my new 3G S into it... Forgot to clean it out with the microfiber, now I have a small somewhat visible straight line on a part of the back of my iPhone. Any suggestions to get rid of this line? I got the phone 2 weeks ago, it never ONCE happened to my 3G with this case, and I had it for a year! Please please PLEASE help me. I guess I'm willing to buy some kind of scratch remover, like Applesauce sounds good.. I don't know though what to do!

If i were you i would purchase a invisible shield case for your phone. it is the hands down best iphone case i have owned. thats my opinion though.

I use Meguiars scratch X, on my black and white phones. Works perfectly.
