iPhone 17 pro paint marks

[river ingot]

Hi guys, I have a iPhone 17 pro deep blue, got it late November and have been taking extremely good care of it.

Unfortunately there are a few paint marks around the edges of the phone, I’m pretty sure the dust collected around the screen protector are slipping inbetween the phone and the phone case. I know they are very small but this largely upsets me. I currently have a clear case and a ZAGG case that I have been rotating between but have never been caseless. I’m wondering if I should rather get an Apple silicon case that’s soft inside, and a higher quality screen protector.

Have you tried cleaning the phone following the instructions on Apple's support site? Most likely, what you're seeing is material transferred from the case, and could be removed

Yes, I have tried

I feel like if dust is the issue you’re never gonna fully stop it
