- Scratches on the glass back cannot be polished out safely.
- Polishing thins the glass, damages the coating and raises crack risk.
- Scratches and dents on the frame are usually cosmetic.
- For looks, the back glass or housing is replaced.
- A case and skin prevent new scratches.
01Scratch or damage?
| Situation | What is done |
|---|---|
| Surface scratch on the back glass | Protect with a case; replacement optional |
| Crack in the back glass | Back glass or housing replacement |
| Scratch on the frame | Cosmetic; case or housing replacement |
| Dented frame, screen lifting | Housing replacement |
02Why polishing is not recommended
- The glass thins. Sanding and polishing weaken the glass.
- The coating is damaged. Matte or glossy surfaces look patchy.
- Crack risk. Thinned glass breaks more easily in a knock.
- Water sealing. Pressure on the housing can strain the seal and adhesive.
