Kindle Paperwhite 3 - Scratch Prone

SunLight · 10-10-2015, 04:11 PM

Does anyone else find their Kindle Paperwhite 3 scratch far often on the black plastic border around the screen?

Any idea how to protect it? I already keep it in a case, but for some reason I keep seeing new scratches on the bottom part of the frame?

Sounds like its breaking up Crack not scratches. Contact CS see if they will replace it for you.

Yes, I do have some few small scratches and marks on the border. Not a lot of them because I use the cover most of the time.

I think it´s to be expected and I´m happy the border is slightly raised because those would have been scratches on the screen.

My solution is not to care about it. It just happens with things in hard plastic.

If it´s really important, get a kindle voyage instead ... it has a scratch resistant surface. (Augment with a screen protector if you´re into that sort of crap on your gadgets)
