I dropped my iPhone 5 yesterday by missing my jacket pocket and dropping it on a tile floor. There are two small dents on the corners of the aluminum casing surrounding the screen. It bothers me way more than it should I guess, but I just got it! Any advice on how to fix this?
Is this a good question?

you need to replace the housing, which you can't buy yet. The best practical solution in lieu of looking for a new enclosure is to buy a case to hide the damage.
Trying to repair it will remove the anodizing. The only way to restore lost anodization is to de-anodize the case and color match the dye. You will also lose the device information engraved on the back of the phone.

Jovahn, In other words you cant fix it with out ruining the finish (black color) on the phone. as Nick said the only real way to do this is to swap out your phone housing.
