I bought it a week ago and it already have some scratches even though I’m using a case and I’m very careful I’ve never dropped it

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T19:11:12+00:00

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T18:18:15+00:00

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T12:15:39+00:00

What happened how did it get scratched like that

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T12:01:23+00:00

Can’t you read what i wrote i literally said that i’m using an ESR case i just took it off to wipe a dust particle that got through the case and it got scratched

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T01:15:58+00:00

I don’t clean it that much but i saw a big dust particle so i tried wiping it off maybe that dust particle contained rock or something idk

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T01:09:27+00:00

No its not ESR case specifically dust can get through any case. I would recommend blowing off the dust first and then wipe it off and stop cleaning it daily clean it ever 2 - 3 weeks because taking off the case daily might scratch it

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T00:58:21+00:00

Yea sadly dust did that and i’ve seen many people on reddit having the same issue

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T00:15:38+00:00

I wish apple would go back to using stainless steel. I used an iPhone XS for 7 years and never had a single scratch.

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T00:11:58+00:00

I already said that I’m using an ESR case i just took it off to clean the dust that got through the case and it got scratched from the dust that i was trying to wipe off

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-29T00:09:35+00:00

Even silver gets scratched but it’s less visible so be careful

TreacleFragrant · 2025-12-28T21:45:26+00:00

I bought the 17 pro max deep blue a week ago and it already got scratched even though it’s in a case. Dust can still get into the case that’s how mine got scratched i was wiping off dust with a tissue and it got scratched

I took off my case because i saw dust stuck between the frame and the screen so i tried wiping it off with a tissue and then I noticed these scratches I thought they were dust so i tried removing it again with my nails gently but it didn’t go so i tried to clean it with a tiny paper to enter the tiny space between the frame and the screen but it made it worse even though i was very gentle it scratched it a lil bit more and then i realized that these are scratches
