No issues with cracking or dust. There is a crease and it's perceptible but you get used to it after a week or so and it doesn't bother me in the least. I don't really notice it is there most the time. Depending on what's on the screen, it's rarely noticeable visually, but you can feel the divot easily with your finger. But again, you get used to it and it's a nonfactor for me. I was worried about it as well when I first made the switch.
