Hello,
I always use the original Android sleeve with my Nexus One. I have it in it in my pocket around 10 hours a day when working. (with the Trackball on the open side of the sleeve and the display to the "Droid" side)
A week ago (got it since 15th Jan) I noticed some "scratches" at the top on my N1.
Here's a crappy picture shot with a crappy cam.
Will do a better pic tomorrow but I think you can guess what I mean
###################
I stick the phone into the sleeve just as you described and haven't noticed any kind of scratches on the top. I've had it since Feb 18th.

The Pouch looks of decent quality to me aswell
I'm using it because I thought the quality is just great!
Well, it still is great but the scratches annoy the hell outta me..
noticed it a week ago and it wasn't that much as today :\
Maybe it does "rub" it off with some dust and much moving? I'm always going around and anything @ work, much movement in my pockets ^^
I think the scratches coz' by rubbing on the wall or something else, not by the pouch. I'm getting a case from case-mate though I like the pouch a lot but it's quite annoying sometimes.
what do you mean with wall?
I mean some rough surfaces
Its because the seams are on the inside, including the stitches. Those WILL rub on your phone and cause scratches if the phone moves around inside, even a little.

Really? Cuz my phone's in the sleeve for probably 14 hours a day and is still flawless. Obviously you didn't look at the pic, cuz the scuffs are at the top that is exposed while in the sleeve. I'm betting the OP puts other stuff in that pocket with the phone... bad idea.
same here, I use the sleeve constantly and have no scratches...did you get dirt or something in your pouch?
Use the sleeve a lot and have no scratches or marks on the N1.
I don't see the N1 as being like an iPhone. For me the side and back is durable and I am not worried about scratches - only the screen concerns me which is why I have a screen protector...
Talking about how phones are made I have to say I think the HD2 is the most durable phone right now with quality and style. The top and sides are almost rubbery so quite resistant to scractches and the back is metal -which although not scratch proof is most definately very resistant to any wear.

Keep your case clean, I have experienced no such problems and I make it a point to keep the inside of the case clean for obvious reasons.
When cleaning the case, I turn the whole thing inside out, shake it out and vacuum it.
Edit: One thing I have noticed is that the phone is prone to marks/scratches quite easily when dropped or bumped into something, as opposed to normal wear and tear (in and out of pocket/case, rubbing against keys etc). I am not really surprised by this, just figured I would note it.
Mintyfloss is right, that's causing it and I were about to write it right now since I Googled the translation just before reading that post I'm not having anything else in my pocket!
How to avoid these "scratches"? Will put the phone with the bottom first in the sleeve now..
Edit: didn't see the second site until now
I also never ever dropped the phone.
cleaned the sleeve yesterday inside out, hope it helps..
Another edit, not sure if needed: I have the phone and. The sleeve upside down in my pocket

Yea, the sleeve can't scratch the Teflon coated phone, it just marks it. I have heard in this forums that you can get away the marks with a little bit of alcohol and a handkerchief.
Hope this helps...
I thought I had a little bit of scratching in the same area, luckily it rubbed off

Okay, new pictures.
this is how I put the Nexus One into the sleeve
this is a pic of the "scratch"
this and this too but another view
thanks for your answers
Actually, to be honest, I'm having the same thing happen with my phone. I put my phone in the the other way than you and I have those marks on the bottom. Although it doesn't really look or feel like scratches. Just looks like little black marks on it and could come off if you rubbed it with alcohol or something.
Thought you guys might enjoy this story:
I went to AT&T to buy my Captivate on Wednesday. A samsung rep was there and I was schmoozing with him. Anyways, he takes out a knife and stabs (hard!!!) the demo Captivate. Nothing happened to the screen. It was awesome!

There's a video on youtube of an asian guy beating the heck out of the screen. Basically the only thing that scratched it was an exacto knife. Then he dropped it from like five and a half feet and the screen imploded lol.
Funny

I was just wondering if my Captivate has regular glass or not, this is good to know. It's funny this information is not advertised like the iPhone 4 gorilla glass, which is plastered on every site that shows phone specs.
While we're at it, does the Captivate have noise cancellation? I only asked cause i had my Captivate hooked up to my car speakers and kept getting a loud piched echo sound while I was on a call today. The same annoying sound I used to get on my iPhone 3G.
Thanks in advance

I don't think the iphone actually has Gorilla glass. I think it has an equivelent type of panel that some have said is used is the aeronautics industry.
I agree that they should use this is a marketing tool.
The Captivate has a noise reduction circuit, but does not have multiple mics for noise cancellation. I'd says the echo is some kind of feedback.

No, no cancellation. Do you get the feedback when plugged into the charger and stereo or just the stereo. Never got it on my old fuze but do get it on the wifes 3g and my captivate. Only happens when we have the phone plugged in to charge. Pitch gets louder as the rpms get higher.
Sent from my captivate
The cappy just has noise cancellation circuitry but it works really good. I was in a club on a friday night with some friends and my girlfriend called me and she could clearly hear me talk over the loud music. She said she could also hear the music but she could hear me without any strain and I wasn't yelling into the phone or anything..
^cappy? Really, did you just call it that?

Mine survived a good beating, but a few days ago I dropped it from the top of my stairs to a tile floor below, glass didn't break but the lcd inside was cracked to bits. Glad I actually got the insurance this time

Yea lol, I'm running JH3 rom, JP3 Modem.bin off the i9000 phones, and the Vibrant kernel. This thing is Frankensteined to hell ATM, BUT HSUPA is working muhahahah.
This dude managed to break his Gorilla Glass dell streak like the first day he got it rofl.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuuWRB43HCE
Does Gorilla glass even protect against the glass from breaking? I thought it just protected against scratches, etc.
From the video he was saying it was indestructable...which glass obviously is not. I have heard that Samsung is testing some kind of super hard plastic for the OLED screens so they can bend a little.
Im thinking of taking off the screen protector, if it is indeed gorilla glass or similar, but my first captivate got 2 small tiny scratches on it and it really pissed me off. I got a bodyguardz on it now.
Can you link to the specific bodyguards item? Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Actually Gorilla glass is more resistant to breaking than regular glass, not scratching. However, most screens are a type of plastic, maybe acrylic or polycarbonate. Any type of glass is MUCH more scratch resistant than these plastics. I've read that the edges are still vulnerable so a silicone case or something similar should help a lot. I'm really enjoying the feel of the glass so I think i'm gonna skip on the screen protector.
I've got strange discoloration in the upper right corner of my captivate - not on the screen itself, but on the glass to the right of the ATT logo. Seems really aparent when I run my finger over, looks like the upper right of the screen is lighter, and its really apparent when there is finger oil or in sunlight.
Anyone see the upper right of their captivate screen, some sort of lighter discoloration? Not sure if I somehow messed with that part of the glass but it seems a perfect oval.
This probably makes no sense and i'll try to take a picture.

When your a company that makes high end products, you dont have to advertise it. The people should already "know" lol. Software might not be that good right now, but the hardware is top notch on this phone.

Basically my theory is that the anti smudge coating is wearing off quite quickly on the machine. That smudge that you see is right where my leg was rubbing in my pants pockets this weekend while I had 4 days in amsterdam. Walked a LOT with this thing in my pants pocket and noticed just getting back home this strange smudge that wouldnt come off.
Its very apparent most of the time, its not GLARING as you can see by some of the no flash shots I took.. obviously its not great and if you zoom in with my pics you will notice a wearing down pattern.. makes me nervous the coating on this thing isn't built to last. Certainly it didnt last a weekend in amsterdam admittingly my jeans are pretty tight generally (dang europeans!)
Anyways the glass might not scratch but the coating comes off and i'm sure others will see this soon. My friend with a Vibrant has been playing non stop emulators on it and he says there are "holes" on the screen where his virtual buttons are. He freaked out but now figured he'll just wear down the whole screen in the same way anyway.
Obviously in my case its just the top easy to ignore but not great.. just watch out i guess guys. my case is getting to me in a few days - a few days too late LOL it might have been saved had I had the case earlier.

I have not seen any mention of a coating on the glass by Samsung or by Corning (if our phones do have Gorilla Glass). The only phone that ever advertised a coating (that i know of) is the iPhone 3GS.
I would just like to see some mention of coatings - kind, purpose, etc. from some official source before i worry about it.
Gorilla Glass Official
It is on all Galaxy S models: Captivate, Vibrant, etc. It is listed on their website.
This is really wierd. Theres smudges on my screen that almost look like part of the coating is gone. nothing i can do is getting rid of them. its really wierd
any ideas?
Phone is only 3 days old, just bought it off a guy on craigslist the plastic was still on it and it didnt look like the plastic was reapplied.
Thanks
is it possible to snap a picture of ur phone with the smudges so that we can have a look at it

This happened on the first phone I picked up within a few days - the oleophobic coating came off in 2 spots. I returned it with no questions once they saw that. No issues with it since. There are a few posts with photos of this if you want to do a search and see if yours look similar. From what you describe though it sounds like this is it.
Hey,
These arent spots theyre huge swaths. Ill try getting a picture later tonight.
Sorry havent replied b/c i had a final today. Thanks for your guys' help
Pictures are a no go. They arent showing up.
But they definitely arent spots. Theyre streaks across the phone and the top right corner is basically all gone. Its really wierd
Thing is i bought it off of someone. Its a rogers phone but do i need a receipt to take it back?
when i had the same problem i took the phone in to a shop without box or charger and they saw what was wrond and just replaced the handset there and then !! try it you have nothing to loose
ill try that thanks
I have the same problem on my motorola atrix. There's a forum about this on the droid life forums. I'm not sure how this happened, I think I let something maintain contact with the screen too long and it was like corroded.
I think this happened with my whole screen too, I may have cleaned it with water because I touched my screen as soon as I came out the shower then wiped it off. After that my screen started feeling really "rough" I just put on a matte screen protector after that even though I didn't want to at all
wondering if anyone has ever dissasembled thier inspire before....if its hard, tricky, details.
wierd thing, i dropped my phone yesterday, as it was falling i fumbled for it, smacked it up agains the wall in my house. Bits of drywall got wedged between the screen and the body of the phone, as i was trying to get it out with a thin knife, some of it dropped down inside the phone. i want to get it out because i have a feeling it will ende up making white dust in my screen.
another reason id like to get it open is to see if i can get the bottom right coner of the phone re-secured. its loose and floats up and down.

DO NOT DO THIS! Not that you don't have the ability to do so...But because this phone has not been on the market for a year yet. the screen coming up is a defect. Get it replaced.
EDIT: A EXTREMELY slight movement is normal. It has to give to be stable. It's kind of the same concept behind a wooden roller coaster. Some, very minor flex is required, as it actually supplies more structural integrity. Now...If you had a knife under the screen, that is far too much flex, and should in fact be replaced.

lol i think you are misunderstanding me, i was just trying to scrape the drywall from the little gap between the body and the screen on the left side fo the phone, i wasnt prying under it. the bottom right corner is something seperate. its not coming completely apart but it flexes noticeable up and down and make the screen turn funny colors there. ive read that its a common thing, but its not bad enough for me to want to send my phone in for replacement. i didnt get it from at&t

Funny my screen "flexes" on the bottom right corner. It really bugs me, its stupid, but I wish I could fix it. It pops up, then I push it down. It's stays for less than 10min and pops back up. I'm not sure if its worth the hassle to call HTC.

I used a clamp on mine last night. Placed a cloth between it and the phone and let the clamp do its thing for about 10 hours before taking it off this morning. I can see and tell a noticeable improvement. No flex. But only time will tell if this did the trick or not. So far after 3 hours it has not come up at the corner.

will HTC really replace the phone over this corner issue? i dont think im going to be able to get the drywall out of my phone and its really bugging me, its wedged in theere HARD. hard enought to make the body of the phone flex away from the side of the screen......and there some thin plastic layer between the phone body and the side of the screen.....which i have messed up by trying to scrape the drywall out with a knife. boo. phone works perfectly but i hate the cosmetic issues

Have other people been having the screen coming up problem? Mine is so severe that I can see light bleed on the bottom right hand corner. Wonder if it's covered by AT&T warranty
I just started having this same proble.I am TIIIIIIIRRRRRREEEDDDDD of ATT's crap though. I have been on the phone with them for 32 hrs in 38 days with now 4 different phones and I LOVE the Inspire. I am having the same issues now though where the screen is coming up and it's really really annoying. I mean REALLY annoying. I am thinking to just put an otter box defender on it and it will be fine? Can anyone confirm that the defender will keep the screen in place or any case for that matter?
I bought a silicon cover for $2 shipped off ebay and I didn't notice this issue until I just checked after reading this thread. The cover adds some serious bulk to the phone, but kept it from breaking when I dropped it from upper chest level on concrete (I'm 5'11"... and I swiped too far and caught the edge with my thumb. I almost cried).
P.S. It still hit hard enough to gouge the metal through the thick silicon
Ordered a few cases today to try out a couple different vendors.
Unfortunately I didn't order them last week like i should have....
N5 felt about 15-18 inchs onto pavement as it slide of my leg. hitting the corner and landing face down. Landing face down
I thought it would have scratched a bit but not have a this chip taken out... Plastic around the glass seems as soft as it is to the touch..

why are you amazed over that? Hate to tell you this but that damage is pretty much what you would expect out of any phone. Just count your blessings that the screen was fine.
OP you are ridiculous. Drop a lg g2 like that or a s4 then you will see how they end up. This phone is very well built and that is the least that can happen to most recent smartphones nowadays. So save your whinning and better edit that title with all those !!!! Afterall it is not the phones fault that you dropped it.
I got a warning from a mod for putting my question thread on the wrong section (here instead of the QA).
But yet the OP doesn't get anything.
This thread is completely pointless. ...I mean "Don't drop it! " ...?? I think everyone who bought the phone knew that before they even paid for it.
And why are you shocked ? you dropped it on a pavement! ..it's not rocket science.
In fact , that's actually impressive , only a small damage...the phone is really tough for something that's not IPwhatever certified like the Xperias

Thank You OP!
I'd say that's come out of it pretty well. The plastic band has taken the impact and not passed a lot of energy through to the glass, thus it stayed intact.
"don't drop it" indeed, as if anyone goes out of the house thinking, "you know what, I'll bounce my N5 like a basketball today"
Thanks for advice, i was thinking to drop my phone.
Honestly, not that bad. And easily covered up and hidden with a case. Consider yourself lucky.
So in other words, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the sky is blue, water is wet, fire is hot, etc etc....
I have to say this phone is well built or I am extremely lucky. I dropped mine from about 3 feet and it fell flat on its back. My heart fell to the floor with it but when I picked it up there was no damage at all. Absolutely no scratches, cracked screen, broken camera, or rattles. So far it seems as if everything is working as it should.:good:
well isnt it obvious that when u drop a phone u will end up scratching it or shattering the screen?
