iPhone 6 screen easily scratched?

Have been taking EXTREMELY good care of my 6+, but the corners already have visible scratches. Anyone else experiencing this?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8

I received my phone in the mail via cellphone carrier, was excited and taking good care of it. Within two days I noticed a scratch on the screen and don't know what caused it. I'm very disappointed as now i am faced with a repair charge to fix it (insurance deductible) if I wish to return the phone in the next 2 weeks. I want a refund because the photo quality is very poor on this device in low light and because of the seemingly out of no where scratch I'm going to lose a big chunk of change on this purchase. Very frustrated and upset with this experience. The quality should match the price!

+1 here, after 8 months my new iPhone 6 plus already has many more scratches than my six-year old 3GS (which has NONE) and they have both had case protections extending beyond the screen plane.

I'm taking paranoid care of my computer devices which makes me even more ******.

There are tons of manufacturing issues with the latest releases of iPhones. The tolerance and QC went really downhill (like many things at Apple since Steve's passing) and sorry but customers will start to notice eventually, and AppleCare won't be enough.

I went through the following problems when buying my phone (and had three returned before I went with the one I have now):

- clouding on top of the monitor

- Clicking screen (not fixed to the back case properly)

- speaker buzzing

- wobbly mute switch and volume buttons

- minijack opening extending 1mm beyond casing


To those who say I am obsessive : I bought a OnePlus Android phone online for my wife and it was perfect at the first "try", by the same standards.

The Apple is rotting…

I've had a screen protecter on every single iPhone I've used. A $5 investment to protect a $500+ device is a no-brianer.

Granted, I also use a protective case as well, but still, spending a small amount of money to protect a large investment should be common sense.
