Sony Ericsson T637 scratching easily?

I have the same problem with my t637, but mine had a big scratch the second
day I got it. I was pissed. So yes they do seem to get scratched easily.
I've seen OEM faceplates on ebay for around 10.00 US.

Another option is a product called Displex that I found web searching ideas
to fix the scratch. This stuff works great and it also took the nicks out
of my wrist watch. Just don't rub this stuff too hard. try a couple of
light applications and you'll be fine.

here's the link: http://www.displex.de/


Good luck

Marc

Well, good to know I wasn't the only one. I know in 6 months I won't even
care, but damn, such big scratches so soon.

Thanks for the link to displex. I'll definitely check it out.

Do the OEM faceplates replace the screen, too? Or just the black plastic
casing?

Watch out, they charge you a fortune for a tiny portion of this stuff. A
real rip off! You'll be as fine with visor polish from any motorcycle
shop for a fraction of the price. If you don't mind the smelling you can
even polish the disply with tooth paste....:-)

Cheers,
Horst

Those inexpensive scratched-CD repair kits, are very good on mobile phone
screens as well.

I bought my Displex online for 6.95. Although I did find sites charging
$15+

I don't really know. If I do end up buying a new faceplate on ebay.....I
will ask the seller before I buy.

Maybe for light scratches, but the CD stuff didn't work for me.
