Has anyone else dinged up/scratched their instinct out of regular use? i dont remember one time ive dropped or dragged this phone across something nor does anyone else use this phone except me. i take EXTREMELEY good care of this thing. wipe it off everyday if it gets smudged or something. and guess what? today while texting on it, i noticed a dent and a scratch on the edge of the phone where its kinda like chrome. i feel so guilty now and i just fewl like throwing it away abd getting a new one. is it just me or arw todays technologies cosmetically prone to scratches? i mean my old cellphone got dropped like a gajillion times and it still looks as good as new. what really bothers me is that i just traded my first instinct for this one cuz it had a scratch on t and now i cant use my 30 day return again. anyone else have theirs dinged up?

No it's just a Phone.

But I do have a set of Gel skins on Mine this give a good 1mm inset to the screen and protect the back as well.I then have a screen protector as well as invisshield on the Top,Bottom and sides.  I try my best to keep my Phones looking nice but in the end it's all about how they work for me cosmetics I could care less about but mine looks way cooler then most.

If you are really that concerned get a full boby shield for it that way if you scratch that you can just replace that.

Ok I bought the InvisiShield as soon as I got the Phone ( It was Preorder at the time).

I then found a great set of GelSkins . I had a Glyde screensaver I ordered a set for a friends kid.

So I cut Put on the Gels , Cut the Top off the Glyde screensaver as it fit perfectly in the space left buy the Gels. Then when the I S came in I put on the Top, Bottom and sides of that.



It's hard to see but it's totally protected and very Clean. The thing I like about the Gels is it allows you better hits on the Home keys as well as the Slide on the side as it has a raised edge on it. I like the screen saver over the I S as it's not a tackey and glydes real easy.

One last thing I carry it in a Golla Bag  with a Stylus pen and Cleaning Cloth like this

The I S shows no Bubble it goes on wet so you can work everything out as it drys. What I have on Wrapps over the Chrome and is very clean looking . It does take some time to put on Carefully but when done you can't even notice it that much . I also think the tacky texture of it helps me from not dropping my Phone in the first place

As far as replacing now I would put the shield on it may hide what you have . If you then decide to replace the Phone you only have to pay Shipping on a new Sheild for your New Phone.

do you think it'll hide the scratch(i s)? i mean its just a little scratch on the corner of the phone in the chrome area. and also r there any tips on applying it? i mean i always messup these type of stiker thingies and doesn't the liquid they give you mess up the phone?
And will they really ship you another sheild if i decide to replace my phone?

If it does, pull it off before you trade it in. Nobody else has had problems yet

If the shield protects your phone you probably won't need to turn in your phone Smiley
