My less then one week old blackberry has a nice brand new scratch spanning the length of it. And I have no clue where it came from. It's a blackberry curve 8330. The scratch doesn't appear to be deep but it's kind of deceiving.

I was wondering if there was anyway to fix this for no more then $15. I was told rubbing oak ash would help but that just sounds strange to me.

for less than 15 dollars you could have bought a case and prevented it all together.

there's that 3m stuff that does it, but i'm too hammered to remember what it is. they make it for taillights.

I have a case, it's in it 90% of the time. I also bought an invisible shield 3 days ago and it just arrived today, a little to late. It's not like i neglected it, shit happens and it really pisses me off. If I didn't care about it I wouldn't care about a little scratch, the thing is I do care about it and I want it to be and stay in good condition.

My Blackberry Storm is perfectly fine and I just have a Seidio Spring-Clip Holster. It's been dropped on all kinds of crap (including a rock that was just under the water line of a river) and it's just got some minor scratches around the edges, screen is perfectly fine and works just like new.

So yea get a better phone, hth!

Other than that, the mentioned 3m scratch remover stuff usually works well.

Depending on how bad the scratches are, the invisible shield might actually hide the sxratches.
