iPhone X Silver iPhone X Scratches, who else?

I have a case on my so only the bottom portion is exposed. Given the material being used for the band around the phone, I expect the stainless steal to get marked up in some fashion.

Do you put a case/cover on your car?

I’ve never really understood the fascination with covering your Mobile in more glass and plastic. It ruins the aesthetics and the usability.

I often wonder if people put this much thought, time and dedication into other aspects of life, where we all might be and how much better life could be.

Crazy

Those polished ss scratched super easily, a lot of scratches just come from no where, even you buy $50k watch, you will see scratches after few days, and wondering if your shirt scratched it, it's normal.
 
Problem solved,

I would never use this as it can and will drive dust and debris deeper inside the phone.

I used it the whole time I had my 7 Plus with no problem. It’s not an air compressor so highly unlikely to damage the phone. Anyway it’s works great to get water out of the lightning port and grills.

It’s a pretty strong stream of air, it gets liquid out of all the holes. I use it after I wash my phone under the sink.

Mostly, it just blows stuff INTO the phone.

Sure, the air's not going to damage the phone (we assume), but what about the crap you're blowing into it? CCC has solvents that you're blowing into the phone. Do you know how they might affect the phone?

You should probably refrain from that as Apple specifically advises against using compressed air for cleaning due to the chances of it breaching the waterproofing in their devices.

And that is another excellent reason not to attack your phone with a compressed air source. :thumbup:

Which causes a whole new problem. "How do I get the polish from the Cape Cod Cloth out of the speaker and microphone holes in my iPhone X?".

It's not a problem if you're very liberal using the polishing cloth and taking your time. You lightly go around in circles with one of the edges of the cloth and you should have no problem getting any type residue in the ports from cloth. It's Not like the polishing cloths are completely saturated as well, they are lightly dampened with the polishing solution.

Just to reiterate, too, if you use the CCC, be really careful about not pressing too hard and generally being careful about where the liquid in the cloth gets. I don't know what the original solvent used in the CCCs is, but they recommend refreshing them with mineral spirits. I wouldn't want mineral spirits, even in small quantities, in or near the seals in my phone.

RP is basically saying the same thing I'm trying to say. Go lightly, go slowly, be careful.

Thanks for the heads up. I take good care of my electronics and am careful while cleaning or repairing. I’ve taken apart PS4’s to reapply thermal paste to the cpu, I can handle wiping down an iPhone with cape cod wipes

I used it long ago to clean out my DSLR until is forced dust into places that a consumer could not remove.

Everyone has choices.

Got a few on the top of my X after only a few weeks. Haven’t knocked it anywhere so I’m guessing they’ve occurred in my pocket.

If I could remember causing them it would annoy me, but I can’t so it’s just one of those things. I can only see them if I go inspecting the band.

If you don’t go looking for imperfections, you won’t find any :)
