Buy a replacement screen or a broken phone from Craig's list for parts.

the scratches are tiny. and that would take to much effort. there is no glass repair solution?

I found this post in the vibrant forum from a guy that polished some scratches out of his screen. It took him literally hours of wet sanding and polishing with a drill to get results. Based on the trouble he went through, I think replacing the screen would be less work. YMMV

Accidentally brick your phone and file a warranty claim.

I have the same prob. Tried the white toothpaste trick. It worked a little bit but its not worth the effort.

Rubbing compound is a little more aggressive than toothpaste. I like 3M Fine Cut. Any auto parts store will have it for about $6 per bottle.

Try it on a piece of sacrificial plastic first. An old CD jewel case or an ancient digital camera's screen. Hell, even your car's headlights (5 minutes each will de-glaze them nicely). Figure out how the stuff works. Then go to town on your phone.

I have a few things I can try this out on. Thanks for the heads up.

Mine got scratched up the day after I bought it (my daughter drug it along my hardwood floors my the charging cord. lol) Finally, after staring at the imperfections every day for over a year, I bought a new digitizer on eBay for like $25. My DInc looks brand new now!!!

Ill second this... Headlights are super easy to do, I imagine a phone screen would take like 2 minutes. Maybe.

Little off topic but Sacrificial Plastic is a great band name.
