iPhone 7 scratched by keys - DIY fixes please!

[ElaGirl]

So my keys got loose in my purse and scratched up my iPhone 7 screen. I am bummed. I looked online and tried taking toothpaste to smooth it out. Maybe it worked, or maybe I am crazy. Does anyone else have another DIY trick without me having to replace the screen/put out more money than this prized phone already costs?

Thanks,
Ela

So I've been told....:smileytongue:

for the price of handsets these days, i think they should all come with a screen protector fitted. Even if its a cheap one to see over a few days until you get a better one.

Went with a screen protector in the now moment. Have not replaced the screen. I will just deal for now I guess. Thanks!

That won't work on glass - You need one for glass scratches made specifically for the job.

I have genuine fears for this phone
