Does anybody know if Apple dish out for repairs or replacements on scratched 3GS screens?
I managed to scratch it on the rivet of my jeans when I was taking it out of my pocket.
It's not the biggest scratch known to man, but knowing it's there is a spirit crusher. Especially when you're swiping away and feel it scraping your finger.

It would prob cost quite a bit. I suspect Apple would have to replace the whole screen which could cost you a ~$150

Do whatever you want to do man.

Perhaps you could get a screen protector for it. Then at least you may not feel the scratch as much with your finger.

I've thought about that, but I do enjoy the oleophobic coating. Cleaning is a breeze. I had a screen protector on my iPod Touch and that got quite scummy.

Try the InvisibleShield, hardly see any smudges on it at all and it maked the phone grippy on hard surfaces
