ah frack it!

I had the clear plastic cover screen on a barely one week old SE k600i
scratched becasue I had dirt in my pants pocket.

Is it possible to get this easily replaced and how much would it be?
Canberra or Sydney fixer-uppers would be preferable.

You'd probably need to get the entire front cover replaced.

Having the front and back covers on my K750i replaced at an authorised SE
service centre cost me $85. If I'd wanted to get it done by Dodgy Bros
using non-genuine knock-off replacement parts I could have paid less, but
the result was an as-new phone so I'm not complaining :-)

Try a plastic polish. I can't remember the name of the product but I
purchased it from Autobarn. As well as reducing visible scratches it
should also protect the surface.

BTW my K750i had fine scratching all over the screen within a few
days... it's not really very hardy...

Since I scored my second-hand K750i and had an SE service centre replace
the front and back covers, I've put the thing through some serious hard
work. Yet there is not one single scratch on the screen, not even a
microscopic one.

My impression of it, after years of scratch-worthy Nokias, is that the
K750i screen cover is as hardy as they come.
