OCD about minor damage

[AshtabS9Ultra]

Is anyone else on here ocd about minor damage to the phone? My s23 ultra had 8 micro scratches on the screen and it had chips all along the bottom bezel from a case. The rear as far as I remember was ok. It took me ages to get over it and I did more or less. On my new phone I have one tiny dot on the back of it which I believed came from a drop. The rear of the phone is the same colour and texture as s23 ultra. The rest of the phone is absolutely fine, just taking me a while to not think about this one. Was just wondering am I the only one? More important things in life to worry about but yet these things niggle. I suspect in a few weeks it won’t bother me it’s because it’s new.

I wouldn't worry about a nick here or there. I have had the Galaxy s23 ultra since the 9th of march last year. I was ready with case and tempered glass screen protectors before I purchest the galaxy s23 ultra last year I sujest you do the same

I am trying to ve careful not to drop the phone or drawn it in water, I always case on my phone and screen protector, however, accidents have happened, only accidental falls though.
This time for the S24U I have decided to go some extra steps and I bought a lanyard, two sleeves, one for work or one for outdoor, because i don't want it to rub against my pockets, a wallet case for outdoors, and dust protector for the USB C port.

Yes and finger prints 😳

Whilst a case has always been a must, as well as a screen protector too, another line of defence is applying a skin to the phone to protect it from any scratches. Even with a case on 24/7 it's easy enough for a piece of grit to get inside the case and rub against the phone and the case.

Hi @AshtabS9Ultra  

Most definitely Yes 😎

This is exactly why I have a glass screen protector,  case and camera lenses fitted all from spigen.

Yea most people say this and they are right. I just struggle because I like the feel of the phone as it comes but then you get marks. Most of my phones will go 12 months with out mark others won’t 

[AshtabS9Ultra]

That is some protection, and you phone will be box fresh, but for me especially a phone is nice as that you would just never experience the premium build. There is a trend here though, case it or deal with the consequences

[AshtabS9Ultra]

Oh good I know. These frosted backs are no better than when we had clear glass

This is it, when I had my s23 ultra I tried a case on day one and on day 3 the bottom bezel was chipped all the way along, it was a very mild chipping and lucky I got used to it.
