I normally wouldn't be concerned but after the lint is attracted by the case, it all seems to end up on the actual phone, and particularly the earpiece and the lightning port. It also seems to be getting lodged between the screen and the case causing the glue to separate.

Hi
If any surfaces are separating, I suggest that you contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having your case and iPhone checked and, if recommended by Apple, serviced or replaced under warranty:
Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for you reply. Yes, I have also reached the conclusion that I need to take the phone back to apple. Though I won't be able to for a few more weeks.
You're welcome!
In the meantime, note that Apple advises against using a damaged iPhone:
I realise that, but I don't have a choice. I bought the phone in Germany while on vacation and am now in my home country of Iran where there is no official apple representative and so I have no way of having it replaced/repaired until I go to London in November. So until then, I will have to go on using it. Thankfully the damage isn't that serious (at least not yet) But I have to say I am VERY disappointed that this would happen to a brand new phone within two weeks, but I guess nothing can be done about such manufacture defects. I should probably be thanking my stars it's not blowing up right now!
