Does Dust ever get under the Nexus S Screen?

[OnlySkillz]

Okay - this is a problem I've had quite a few times with my devices, such as the iPod Touch.

I have dusty pockets which tend to completely cover my previous devices, such as the iPod, with dust. Unfortunately, the iPod had a small leakage of screen on the left, from where dust began going UNDER the screen.

Now, has anyone noticed dust under the Nexus S Screen? The sides where the screen and body meet are pretty close, but I see dust particles squeezing in there. From here, is there any way they can go under the screen? Or do they just stay on the side, and can be cleaned out?

I really hope that is not the case, so I can be worry-free and put it in my pocket and then vacuum it or something later, knowing it won't get under the screen.

You shouldn't run into any issues with dust getting between the glass and the screen. The glass is glued to the display. Dust won't be getting under there.

That makes me feel a million times better. But I've read online where people have actually HAD this issue...is it true, or are they all mistaken?

So you are 110% sure that there is no possible way for dust to get in your display/under the screen?

It should be very difficult for dust to get in between the glass and the screen; however, I can definitely conceive of dust getting under the glass where the proximity sensor and front facing camera are, but it shouldn't be able to make its way to obscure the screen at all.

I'm not sure how dusty my pockets are in comparison to yours, but after 8 months, I have absolutely no dust under the glass anywhere.

8 months sounds reasonable. I have yet to get a case/screen protector. I've read in your recent post that you went 3 months w/o one, and got no scratch. Right now I'm also scratch free, I try to only put it down on carpet or cotton/cloth-surfaces.

I don't really care if it gets where the front facing camera is..I know I'll hardly use it anyway, thanks for the assurance about the screen though.
