Dust between screen and sides - Nexus S General

Any ideas on how to protect the space between the screen and front edge of this awesome phone?
The gel case from sprint doesn't cover this gap, and there doesn't seem to be many cases out yet to fit the NS4g.
Is this even something to be concerned with?

ive never had an issues with sides usually can just blow and what ever if anything gets in between usually comes out.
And the screen is fused to the touch glass with adhesive no dust is getting between screen so no worries

The dust gets in the exact same place you referenced with me too, and I always get panicky, but I find that if I try to remove it myself, it just ends up worse somehow. They just seem to dissapear after some time in my pocket though. I'll check a few hours later, and bam, the dust isn't there anymore.

[Q] Screen Cracks

I've got my shiny HD2 and i've fallen in love!
But after 4 days of owning i tripped today and my worst fear the screen crack!!! and its huge the screen is covered in 70% cracks. tho it still works but its hard to make out the keyboard in some areas
before all the posts about how to repair i used the search and am aware how to replace and purchase a replacement im looking at £32 on ebay and a few hours of time one weekend...
But now my question in my search for answers i've seen lots and i mean lots of info on this, is the screen the phones achilles heel. is there away to prevent this from happening. eg a good screen protector to help with the stress of dropping all falling!! would gel cases make a difference?
Basicly can i prevent this from happening in the future?
Regards
Wappy
cause you can prevent it, dont drop it!!lol, silcone case helps, ive dropped mine a few times and from height, just has to catch it at the wrong angle and it will go!

wondered how many posts it would be till some one said dont drop it lol
what i feared!.. is there a neck chain or a chain attachment available to i could attach it to my jeans so if it did drop it would only end up by my knee? but there is no hole attachment for it again meaning i have to hold it meaning my little fingers might drop it
Ahh MY old TYTNII I could throw it at people and it still worked lol, but im guessing bigger glass screen = more fragile!
Yeah, it sucks...this happened to my wifes phone like 3 months ago. It had a protector, but apparently a little rock on the floor hit the bottom part of the screen. $125 for a new phone.

i've orded a gel case and a Vikuiti screen protector and hopefully that might help for the next screen

nope, i used a clear box with gloves so i didnt get any crap inside it
would superglue be alright to use under the corner of the touch module?
bottom right corner is lifting and nothing i put on it will hold it, ofcourse super glue would, just dont want it to stuff my module
would it be alright?
Whoa. Nice. It's a Panda Phone~ Lol.
Glad you survived the surgery operation >.<
just used superglue to stick the corner of the touch module down.
its stuck, it aint going absolutly no where, man this **** is strong, stuck my finger to my cloth, had to use salt water to get it off
How did you remove digitizer from housing with heat or something else?

Per schematics I looked at a while ago, and pictures I've seen, I think that the digitizer and the glass are bonded together. He probably just replaced the glass and digitizer at the same time.

That is not cheap solution digitizer cost money!Why replace it if it works?
This just has to be bullcrap!?

Things are supposed to appear on your phone's screen. If nothing appeared on your screen, that would be a problem.
yeah sorry but i would need a little better understanding of the question to help you out. what appeared on your screen? whats causing you problems?

Yeah, but what looks like WET SPOTS are NOT supposed to be there. Looks like some sort of screen damage. Do those spots go away when the screen changes?
are you talking about those hazy thingies?
Have you exposed your phone to a place with rapid ambient temperature/humidity change? this might be water under the glass?
or it could be a protector screen gone bad?
you need to be more specific otherwise because there seems nothing wrong beside that.

Looks like it might be the screen protector. At least he should hope that it's only the screen protector. If not, hope he has $$$ or $ and a steady hand.

or just try an hairdryer at low temp for a bit
now seriously, if that's just humidity under the glass, leave it off for two days with the battery cover open, best case scenario all of it will be gone without any sigh it was there.
if it is water try opening it up .. and putting it in a bag rice for a day or two ..

What to do when one of your HTC letters on back cover falls off.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

Can you notice screen lift with case?

I recently picked up two new N7's and unfortunately they both have minor screen lift. The cases we ordered are similar to the one pictured below... Can anyone tell me if its even visible/noticeable in a case like that? I mean, i cant imagine it being noticeable with the bezel being covered by the case.
Thanks

I have the exact case (except its blue) and the screen lift is not noticeable. In fact, i had ordered the slim ebay case and i switched back to the supcase because it seemed that the screen lift was worse in the ebay case. I feel that the way the supcase holds the N7 in does help

Great news! Thanks for the quick reply.
No. Anything that covers the bezel will hide it. The Slim cases typically don't cover the whole bezel except the corners. Most TPU cases will though.
Problem solved for the screen lift issues

I sense some sarcasm, but may as well be for me. I plan on using mine in the case full time so out of sight out of mind
And hey, a case was a valid fix for the iphone4! :victory:
