No matter how often you clean your phone, dust keeps collecting inside the back cover. This dust acts as sandpaper, scratching your phone frame during daily movement.
Dust enters through the speaker grills, charging port cutout, and gaps around the volume keys. To minimize this: 1. Choose cases with high-precision button cutouts. 2. Clean your pockets and bags of lint. 3. Clean the inside of your cover weekly with a dry cloth.
