just asked my friend and he said he takes his phone out monthly and just wipes it down etc. It's usually pretty clean. I do the same with my commuter. IT's usually pretty clean anyway
I took mine out permanently because I was tired of doing that. It's now in an easy to remove Impact case with no screen and keyboard cover to get crap trapped under, much easier and thinner
How do you guys clean it? The rubber part seems to attract a lot of dust. By the way, the track pad can be covered as well and it will still work, actually it works even better as you don't have to run your finger over the edges of the hole in the keypad cover.
