Default [Q] Dust between bezel and glass

I read that the gap between the bezel and the glass is to help with the glass expanding due to heat, but it seems to collect dust a lot and its driving me nuts. Anyone know of a way to prevent this or a slim case that covers the gap so dust does not get in there?

i don't see a problem with my phone, mostly because the case is hiding it all LOL

and even when i do take out the case, i don't see dirt collecting there

i just go blow it off easily with a gasp of air with my mouth

Mine too!!! Have 2 white specs in top left side and don't wanna stick something in there and scratch it... Annoying thing is that my d30 case covers everything up but that little damn corner where the power button is... Ugh

just puff it every now and then to prevent excess accumulation and prevent it from turning into dirt

I use the body glove case from tmobile when I'm at work. My work enviroment is extremely dirty and very dusty. I mean to the point where you clean the area and by the end of the day there is a pretty thick layer of flux (lets just say dust) everywhere.

When I take my case off on the weekend my bezel is clean

The SAMOLED screens are fused to the class so there is no gap for dust to collect.
Watch THIS if your new before you ask your question
And THIS is awesome.

To get rid of the dust I use a stiff lens cloth damp with lens fluid and use a corner to clean. Works perfectly

dust between the bezel/screen common problem with any phone that has gap between the bezel and screen. like one person said, the digitizer is fused with the actual screen on Super Amoled screens. so dust shouldn't get underneath. However, screen repair cost more due to the fact the whole screen+digitizer has to be replaced instead of one or the other.

to get the dust out,I usually just take a very thin paper,fold it in half,and slide it. I've been doing the same method on my past phones.
