Should my iPhone ever get scratched this bad, caused by a case I bought to protect it; I’d need years of therapy.
According to tnkgrl, that’s exactly what happened. She along with others are coming forward with the following claim, “the Belkin acrylic case I purchased to protect my iPhone is scratching my iPhone… can you believe it?”
Tnkgrl wrote in to share her sad story with my iTablet community:
It appears that some debris (?) is getting trapped between the Belkin acrylic case and my iPhone, and is leaving marks on the aluminum and plastic back cover, as well as the stainless steel screen bezel. The iPhone is a bit loose in the case, so maybe that’s the problem!
Before you think that I’m being careless:
- I always put my devices in cases (either acrylic or silicone) to protect them
- I always put my devices alone in my pockets (no coins, keys or other items)
- Even cheap (eBay special) acrylic cases have never scratched any of my devices before
- My pockets are clean of debrisI’ve contacted Apple and Belkin… I’ll keep you posted!
Good luck with getting this issue resolved. Any members with experience in dealing with this kind of stuff please offer up some advice for our friend tnkgrl.

Of course it scratching it — its a Hard case, and all sorts of stuff will get between the case and the phone and scratch it —
Even the soft cases will do it — Get yourself some invisible shield and Wrap that thing up before you put it in a case…..

amen to that John! funny I just wrote up the review for the invisibleSHIELD…http://www.myitablet.com/invisibleshield-for-iphone-a-must-have-accessory-091118.php
oh, I might add that the metal part of the iPhone isn’t covered up by invisibleSHIELD, so from the look of the second pic, the Belkin’s Acrylic case will still scratch it up pretty bad
John,
I’ve owned many devices over the years and I’ve always used acrylic or silicon cases on them – I want to keep them in great shape for resale because I upgrade often…
I’ve never experienced scratching of a device inside a case before – the aluminum on the back of my iPhone is actually pitted!
The Belkin case has some rough edges from the molding process and I think tiny slivers of acrylic are coming off when the case is being handled and ending up between the iPhone and the case.
