Exclamation Anyone have a Solution for the gap around the screen?

Seriously... This is starting to irritate me... I was thinking of getting that invishield and cut it into little strips and put them over the gaps on all 4 sides to prevent the dust and lint from getting in there. Don't want the screen over time to be clouded w/ dust and lint from my pockets...anyone else have any methods of covering the gaps?

I've decided to not put the phone in my pocket... I'm using it constantly anyway - just carry it around.

Am I like the only person on this forum who does not see dust under their screen? Or am I just missing something?

I spent ten bucks at Verizon and got a plastic film that goes over the touch screen. It protects the screen from dust and fingerprints and scratches, and all ya gotta do is wipe it off and you're good to go. You can't even tell it's there.

screen protectors don't stop the dust from going under the screen... It's not really bad but don't want it to continue.

I was thinking about a rubber gasket too. Something that would fit around it, maybe even u shaped to catch liquids to a degree. Something like that would sell like crazy, in my opinion.

I read in others posts NOT to do this because it can push the dust further in.

Today was the first day I noticed dust / lint near the screen edges. Currently all I have is the BodyGuardz Invisible Shielding and a Hard Case for it, but with the shielding on the phone it no longer fits in the case.

I'm waiting for the rubberized Seido Case to come out and Ill get one of those.
