debris in gap at top of screen

Newbie
I have been getting lots of dirt at the top of my screen in between the screen and plastic shell. Its very annoying and I haven't found anything on the net with people having the same issue. Anyone else having the same problem?
 
Just want to check...but are you referring to the audio channel at the top of the screen or the space between the screen and a case? Do you have a case on the phone?
I have a TPU case, and a screen protector on mine, and carry the phone in my pocket. I notice that I have to take my case off every week or so, and just dust off the phone in general.
Good luck
 
I also have a tpu case as well but haven't been using it. I'm actually getting crap in a small gap in between the glass screen and the plastic shell. The dirt gets inside the phone and hard to dig it out.

I guess I did not think about it, but last week while wood working I got sawdust around the case on my phone too....but taking off my case and blowing it off with the air compressor worked...not recommended. But I just looked at mine, and I have some build up there too, and since the TPU case covers that gap, I don't realize its building up. I would hope that the debris is not inside the actual phone...but can you use a toothpick and then the case? It is a thin case and I have gotten used to mine....plus the occasional drop is not so bad.

I haven't tried a tooth pick, been using my thumb nail. Its just bothersome that it collect crap in there. Only had phone for 2 weeks and just thinking how much crap will accumulate after time. I may be picky but its a 700 dollar gadget.
