    Just wondering if anyone knows anywhere to go in Dublin where they would be able remove the scratches from a iphone screen without a whole big rigmorale? The scratches r pretty small, i could live with the, i would just prefer not to.
    Alternatively has anyone tried to do this themselves and had any luck?

    Try gently rubbing toothpaste on a scratch?

    you'd be better off replacing the screen.
    Is it a 3G/S or 4?
    3G/S you'd be looking at €40-50
    4 you'd be looking at €80-199
    depending where you go

    Doesn't most toothpaste have an element of gritty whitening ? - surely you are likely to do more damage.

    Put a screen protector over it. It will keep it from picking up more scratches and will make the scratches that are there somewhat less noticeable. Packs of 2 in the €2 stores.

    There's a product called displex which is apparently designed for this very thing.

    Although i've never used it myself.

    Apparently jewellers use it on watch faces. I would use brasso myself, but would only recommend it for certain surfaces. For example the original iPods with the White plastic face and chrome back would gleam after a rub with brasso. Apparently brasso and toothpaste fill in small scratches.
