Screen scratched after less than a month

[dimitarsh1]

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: ZenFone 9 ASUS_AI2202
Firmware Version: WW_32.2030.2030.26
Rooted or not: not
Frequency of Occurrence: alwaus
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
I both my phone the end of July. On the 27 of August I noticed my screen is scratched. I don't have a screen protector, but I am very careful with my phone - never put it in pockets with keys or in best pockets with loads of stuff or throw it around. So I contacted Asus Netherlands but they said it's not part of the warranty, because it is CID (customer inflicted damage). However, that's really ridiculous given the high specs of the glass (Corning gorilla Victus). I tried to talk to them further, send them pictures, they then contacted Taiwan and after some days of back and forth - they refused to help.

Any suggestions? Does anybody else have such an issue after using the phone for less than a month? Did I just get a phone with a bad gorilla glass?

Thank you in advance,
Kind regards,
Dimitar

That is not true. I can scratch any Victus or not screen with my keys. Everything depends on the hardness.

But like the others said - this is a user made thing, that is not covered by device warranty.

You could replace the glass, or try to polish it and put a tempered glass on it. It still will be visible, but definitely less annoying.

Normal keys shouldnt be able to do it, maybe you got some reinforced ones.
