Help Dust under screen

I have noticed that from keeping the phone in my pocket even with a case little bits of dust get under the screen and inside the little area of the flash. Under the screen you can see them when the sun hits the screen however there is one that is large enough to look like a dead pixel on the screen. I'm used to having to remove the battery cover and clean the dust form there but haven't ever had it move to the flash and under the screen. How can you stop the dust form getting in?
 
When you first purchased your phone there was the factory screen protector you can peel off. If you look closely there is another screen protector on the phone, I don't know why they put this additional screen protector on the phone. You can remove it (at your own risk) it is possible there was some dust or lent under the additional screen protector. This phone is suppose to have AKA Gorilla Glass by Corning. I removed my additional screen protector as Gorilla Glass is strong enough to withstand light stroked scratches from keys and etc. I did notice a difference in the touch screen sensitivity and the clarity improved some what after removing the additonal screen protector.
 
I was hoping it was just under the second screen protector so i removed it but the dust is actually under the screen, between the screen and the digitizer.
 
The first phone I got had a black speck under the screen. It was in the digitizer, but I thought it was under the second screen protecter so I took it off and it was still there. I called Virgin Mobile and told them about that and they sent me another phone.
