What are you like when it comes to scratches, scuffs or marks on any of your devices, or their accessories?

I can be really nit picky when it comes to these things. Getting a scratch on a case's screen protector can bug me like crazy, and in my head I may even deem it unusable. But then again, if I have marks on the corners of my phone, but a case covers them? I can forget them really easily. It's weird, I know..

How about you?

Of course, I prefer my device to be damage-free, however, minor war wounds here and there are acceptable to me in regard to my own device...:)

I hate having scratches or anything on my devices. My rMini has a barely noticeable dent in the bezel, but it still drives me crazy just knowing it's there. :)

Another thing that bothers me are bubbles and dust under screen protectors. This drives me absolutely insane haha. I see some devices with huge bubbles under the screen protector and I wonder how the people can even stand to use them :)

My pet peeve as well, so I don't use screen protectors anymore. Lol

I am pretty paranoid about my devices but if it is scratches and scruffs acquired over normal usage I don't fret too much.

How many of you remedy your OCD by simply getting a new device? Or, how often do you upgrade to a new iPhone?

The built in screen protector on my Otterbox Defender works great. It's flush with the phone's screen and I get very little dust and debris in between. I've only had to remove my case for cleaning twice since August if last year.

I like to keep it factory fresh but don't sweat the small stuff after a good nights sleep it becomes the past. But so far so good with my 5s

And do you plan on getting a 6? Or waiting, unless something happens?

Im very ocd about my phone big time! Especially when they put a screen protector and there is dust behind the protector that irritates me and all i see that black small spot which is the dust, i have to take off the screen protector and get a new one, which right now I'm using the zagg glass which is the best I have used and has no specs at all :)

O M G!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so over the top OCD about my devices that they come out of the box and I INSTANTLY put a screen protector and a case. I have actually sworn off Otterbox because the exposed thingie in the back has left a minute scratch about as wide as a human hair on the Apple logo on the back of the device. I'M OBSESSED. It has GOT to stay pristine.

Even that little scratch now makes me feel almost dirty. Unkempt. Like a slob.

Oh and phones aren't the only thing I'm obsessed about. My mani/pedi lady KNOWS that I'm going to inspect EVERYTHING she does. And the woman who cuts my hair knows that I WILL MEASURE each side and the top AND THE BACK to make sure it's all even.

So.....ya.....I'm quite anal.
