Hello,

I've had my Z500a for about a month now, and have noticed that over time
dust has been accumulating between the outer protective plastic and the
display, cluttering my display a bit. Has anybody else had this problem? I
am not sure how it's getting in. Has anybody perhaps found a way to get it
out? :) It looks like the face may come off - but I am not so sure!

Thanks,
Josh

Yes the face plate comes off. Press down (hard) by the camera lens with
both thumbs and move your fingers down toward the bottom of the phone, it
might take significant pressure the first time. Use air or a some kind of
cloth to clean the window/screen.

yea it happens...most all phones will have this problem to som
degree...more so with the ones with changeable face plates. compresse
air works great...but make sure you dont accidentally spray the liqui
if the can is tilted!

I have one of the Sony Ericsson wipes...which is basically those rea
soft microfiber glasses cleaning cloths. I keep one on me at work t
clean smudges off of all the phones. Works like a charm...and wil
NEVER scratch any of the screens like cotton shirts will
