Scratches on metal part of screen near VueFlow button

---

Spotted someone asking asking about this on another thread and noticed I have the same problem.

So who else has the same problem, what's causing it and what can we do to stop it?

I noticed i get that to. the only way i have found to stop it happening is to magnetise my keyboard on the outside of the case. I think its caused by the connectors for the keyboard, there are 2 little black risen points that stick out and 1 of them makes those marks. (thats what i think - anyone else know any different?)

I was cheesed off by this as having paid out for the phone and for this to happen within a week i wasnt happy. Great phone tho! So all is kinda forgiven!

We need more protective cases out there! Only 2 types i can find so far.

yeh youre right. not only does the black plastic thing line up with scratches, but i noticed some of the scratched silver metal on the black plastic thing.

Yes, looks like that's it.

Now to find an acceptable solution. I'm more than a little pissed off to be honest at such a simple design flaw.

I'm currently misaligning the keyboard with the Ameo by a few mm so that the right hand connector is off the screen and nearer the VueFlow button but this is not an acceptable solution really

could try filing the RHS black thing down/off. the magnets seem to do a good job of ensuring the ameo only connects to keyboard when properly aligned (left to right) anyway.

the countour on keyboard also ensures ameo is straight relative to the keyboard.

The black points seem to keep the ameo upright when using the keyboard, im probably wrong tho.

Try turning the keyboard around in the case, i know its a pain when you want to use the keyboard and have to turn it around to use it, but i find that it works.

Eg have the buttons facing the bottom of the case so the smooth surface is facing the screen. Thats the only other way round it i can see. Im just keeping my eye out for a skin, as ive asked about in another post.

If other people out there are trying to work around it spending money on a different case may be the only way, but your right, big design floor. I noticed it, the same evening i purchased it and managed to flip my keyboard over or put it on the outside of the case. Adds to the bulk tho putting it on the outside, but to me, its the safest option.

I took the Dremmel to that horrid little black plastic lump.

I took it down about 60%, there is still an alignment piece there, but much lower.

I can report that there was no difference in using the keyboard, with or without the leather case. It clips into place just the same as before, and stands up fine as before.

I dont think there is now any danger of more damage from it on my device.

Of course, if you take a Dremmel to YOUR kb, its not my fault what the result is!
