    At this point in time, I have owned my iphone for 4 months. During this time, several small scratches have appeared on the glass display.

    Kindly note that I do not abuse the device, nor do I allow others to touch it (Including my common law wife). I do, however, own several pairs of tight fitting jeans, which may be the source of said scratches, as the iphone often shares pocke space with loose change and keys.

    If any posters have a remedy, please enlighten me.

    Thank you for the responses. I have since purchased a screen protector, however I am seeking information on repairing the existing scratches.

    Sorry man, it can't be fixed. Soon it will self destruct and kill you.

    RIP :(

    Zagg Invisible Shield is the best. They have stalls in most malls in Houston.

    It's a military grade shield. Basically impossible to scratch..

    You can shieldzone a lot of stuff including labtops.

    Nope. You can easily replace the screen on an iphone assuming it's not the 2g.

    I have yet to see a remedy, which does not make me glad. Reputation points will be distributed to the poster that provides a solution.

    Is it glass? buff with lens polish from a good camera store or jewelers rouge from a glass shop

    If it's acrylic try buffing with varsol.

    Robbie suggested self mutilating a digit. I award him zero points.

    Dude. Think about it. You won't feel the scratches AFTER you do that. :eek: The trade-off is genius.
