Even though it is scratch resistant, you cannot really make your iPhone free from scratches and ugly lines. Because of its scratch resistant feature, it also makes it extremely difficult to remove the scratches on the iPhone.

If there are scratches on the back part of your iPhone, one way to get rid of them is to use fine sandpaper or abrasive rubs.

Toothpaste is also an effective product for removing iPhone scratches. Toothpaste that is specifically for sensitive tends to be more effective when it comes to getting rid of the scratches. You can use it as a mild abrasive rub for your iPhone and it can repair smaller and thinner scratches on your phone, as well. Here is what you need to do:
Place a small glob of toothpaste on the case of your iPhone.
Rub it gently and mildly using a soft or a microfiber cloth to the affected area.
Let the toothpaste stay there for one to two minutes and let it dry for a bit.
Afterwards, clean the case of your iPhone using mild cleansing products such as Windex (ammonia free). Soap with mild content will also do.
Polish and continue to rub the scratches for a little while to achieve the best results for your iPhone.
Be careful when you are using the toothpaste. Make sure that it will not get into the ports and holes of your iPhone. They can cause damages on your phone. Though they say that prevention is the best cure, no matter how you try, it is very difficult to avoid having scratches to your iPhones. That is why you always have to maintain and do the necessary techniques to keep your phone scratch-free.
