So Verizon is sending me a new droid for having dust under the screen and I was wondering if anyone knew how to keep this from happening again.
wrap your phone in used plastic packaging from another product then put it in your pocketWell I'm looking for ways that don't cost money :x
Don't use compressed air or any kind of positive air pressure to remove dust from the speaker port. Use a vacuum cleaner.
I used my phone to listen to iheart radio while sanding drywall the other day and it was covered in fine white dust, used my shopvac to clean the ports and the phone is good as new.

I've heard that using a vacuum cleaner can cause static. If this is true this could damage a circuit board. I don't know if it is true or not.
However, there is always the chance that a large enough static charge (the kind that shocks the crap out of you :icon_eek could damage the phone. In my experience however, the Droid just reboots with a large enough ESD.
:icon_eek::icon_eek::icon_eek:I've kept min in my pocket (naked) from day 1....never a problem with dust.
