Anyone have a solution to get dust out of under the screen? And anyone think Apple will give me a replacement? I am still under the one year warranty.
Got a tip for us?

Dust under iPhone glass!!

Yes you will get a replacement. A Genius actually refused to give me a replacement that had dust under it so I'm sure that's a legitimate reason.
I am a little confused with your post. You state that they will give you a replacement, then add that the genius refused to give you a replacement. What am I missing here?
*oops...meant to post this in another thread*
My first 3g had dust under the glass. It looked like a dead pixel but in sunlight you could clearly see the dust. They replaced it with no hassle.
My second 3g had dust under the glass again. I had checked it when I got it and didn't see any but later on I noticed it in direct sunlight. I couldn't see it under normal operation but in sunlight I could. On my second visit back to the Apple store, we went through 5 replacement 3gs before we found one I could live with. They ALL had dust under the glass. The one I settle on had dust under the glass but it was tiny and off the edge of the screen.
At some point I have since somehow acquired another piece of dust under the glass. I don't really notice it 95% of the time but again in direct bright light it is as clear as day. I'm contemplating whether I want to bother replacing it again since I have no confidence that I'll ever get one that's dust free/dust proof and I don't want to have to once again replace my screen protector and the decal I have on the back of the phone, however I know myself and I have a feeling I will be getting it replaced again (glad I got the apple care plan).
