Isn't the screen on the N1 glass?
From the idrops website: "Carefully squeeze one to four drops onto the plastic, polycarbonate, or acrylic surface of your device"
http://www.wirelessground.com/saguaki.html
Has anyone tried this? Does it work?
If you read the end it states "not use on touch screen displays"
I guess i wont risk my baby..

iDrops, and most other scratch removers, are only for plastics... not glass, which is what your N1 screen is. You'll either create microscratches on the screen or remove part of the top coating on the screen.
i used t-cut glass polish on my nexus it got rid of the scratch i got when i stupidly put my phone in the same pocket as my keys
and a chamois leather is great for stubborn finger prints
To be honest, any mild abrasive would probably do. It's not as if the N1 has any anti-reflective coating or anything. Even a simple toothpaste and microfiber cloth would do the trick.
I find toothpaste is great at removing light scratches, won't cost you anything either.

What is a result?
Try PlastX from meguiers. Ived used it and its safe. Try in a corner of the screen first. Be sure its clean. Rub gently with a cotton fiber towel, not a bathroom towel.

YES!!! you should definitely get one. Gorilla Glass is VERY durable, but it's not scratch proof.
A lot of people swear by the Steinheil Ultra Clears (i used one of my two so far, just didn't put it on to good)
I'm now using a ZAGG, and I like it just fine... Not sure which I prefer, i know i did like the slick surface on the Steinheil better. The Zagg has an orange peel effect..
It would be good to get one that isn't very flimsy, but not very thick. I also want one that my finger won't get caught on, I always leave huge smudges sometimes on my screen.
Coming from an HTC touch pro 2 to the Mesmerize the gorilla glass is GREAT! I did get a free screen protector with my otterbox so that's what I'm using. I used to have a invisible shield on but I took it off as I didn't care for the texture. I like the smooth screen protector that came with the otterbox.
I've used Phantom Skinz for my last 2 phones. they work good for me.
I stopped using a screen protector because I work in a restaurant, so I always text with semi oily fingers. I find the screen protectors are a ##### to clean! However, the screen cleans very easily with a bit of hand Sanitizer and a soft rag.

I used a Phantom Skinz and it works rather well. It does orange peel a bit, but nothing a quick rub on the shirt doesn't fix.
The screen protectors do their job but make it ugly in my opinion.
Oh wait, I only used the one they sent in from cell south store so maybe you can find a good one.

Just wanted to put this out there, I haven't had any sort of case or screen protection since I bought the phone 3 months ago, and I only have one tiny hairline scratch in it that you can hardly even see.
I keep mine in my pocket most of the time, but I've trained myself to not keep anything else in that pocket....

No screen protector on mine either and only one tiny scratch that can only be seen when holding at certain angle. mine is always in my pocket too but I am starting to notice a spot where the screen is showing some wear from sliding around and in and out of my pocket. I am going to invest in a screen protector by the end of the month with some b day cash

Screen Protector on mine, NO SCRATCHES!!!
i'm telling you if you get a Steinhel, you won't even realize it's on there!!!
Just be VERY careful, and make sure your screen is SPOTless when installing!!!

I reset my phone after root and lag fix and playlogos1 was not deleted and I went to the file and it wouldn't allow me to delete it. What can I do to get rid of it so i can lagfix my phone.
I don't use one and have zero scratches.. I even let my kids play with it.
I put steinhail ultra on for 4 weeks and I noticed that the corners were parted and it won't stick to the screen anymore. Is that normal, or is there a fix for that?
I had those on my droid X. I think installation is key. I had one corner that tended to pull up too but I was pretty sure it was because I messed the install up.
Edit: this is just a thought but you might try peeling a corner back by using a card to pull it up, then use scotch tape to get any dust off.
Been using Steinheil ultra crystal for about 4 months, no issues with the screen staying flat. Maybe you have a defective protector?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I tried the tape method several times, but it did not help...maybe it really is defective? Do they have warranty on these?
I have had the same one on since they came out. It is starting to lift a bit around the edges but it is not peeling back or unbearable.
Their site does reference a "Limited Lifetime Warranty" i would just contact them and work it out to get it replaced.

My first experience with Zagg was terrible. And I'm not a big favorite of how their screen protector looks. Took forever to lose those BestBuy Reps who were insisting that you should have one.

Just checking, cause nobody is mentioning Gorilla glass. Is that not all it's cracked up to be? (no pun intended, at least at first.) Or, like me, did you not know it was on the phone? I really don't know how good it is, but it seems to be better at protecting from scratches than from breakage. No scratches on mine so far, and I am not using any protector.

I know about it, but even with gorilla glass you still get scratches that are hardly visible with the screen on, but clearly visible when you reflect it to a light source.
And there's no harm to put on extra protection. Only benefits.
It's like a condom...we all know how to prevent pregnancy (coitus interruptus), but you need a safeguard...
Hi!
I dropped my phone on a solid ground and scratched the top part of the Samsung Galaxy S2 edge.
is there any good way to repair this so it isnt as visible as it is now?
I hope someone can help and give me a tip on a way to do it.
This is not the screen itself but the sourrounding edges.
Whoa..Okay.. Well there is some methods to Fix that, You should try:
1) Nail polish- yeah that could sound funny , but you can always try hiding the scratches with clear nail polish remover.
2) Turtlewax- You should try that, it Repairs car scratches, PSP, MP3 player's etc. You should try that too.
GoodLuck with that! Have a Great Day!

You can just get a case for it - scratches covered. My Evo is the same way - chipped all to pieces around the corners. I still keep it naked though, I prefer it without a case/screen protector.

Hi all
Amazon UK now have MediaDevil screen protectors for the XZ (front and back sold separately). Just fitted mine, much nicer than the ones that come in the box. Only been on for about 30 mins, but fingerprints actually seem to wipe off these ones! V happy.

Yes. They're still there, but nowhere near as bad as with the original ones, and I can wipe them away on my jeans.

I e-mailed mediadevil asking if they were planning on releasing one with oleophobic coating, got this response...
"I'm afraid we're unlikely to release an oleophobic version -- some brands do use this material, however it does not meet our standards for several reasons. First, this material often has a blue tinge, and we only sell protectors that are completely clear. Second, it is much more likely to experience the 'rainbow effect', and third, while it does show fewer fingerprint marks, it has also been our experience that the fingerprint marks that do appear are more difficult to clean.
If you have had a different experience with oleophobic screen protectors, we'd be very interested to hear about it, however at the moment we have yet to find a material that does not have these issues."

Nope, im using it at the moment, its front and back (x2).. Great price, performs as it sshould sooooo no complaints so far
Ah awesome! They do look good. the front/rear lack of clarity on their wording was odd though. I even read their installation instructions for it and was only talking front.
Did you use that "masking tape" trick to install? Or just really good at putting them on? I'll be trying the masking tape way
Has anyone found any large sets of cheap front and back protectors on eBay?

Nope, just good ole:
1. Clean the screen off (Make sure no dust, lint, etc are on the screen)
2. Don it on the phone and use the cam cutouts as guide.
3. I did get dust and lint after installation, I used clear tape to take off the sp a lil and used another tape to get those lint/dust.
viola..
took about 5-10 mins for me to install perfectly.
Screen protector and water
Hi Guys,
I bought a Krusell Frostcover and had a front screen protector installed today. I don't remember its brand, the shop assistant threw its packaging out. I remember it was sort of blue, and it had a microfiber cloth included...
I never had a protector before and I'd like to know how it reacts to water. I'm not planning to go scuba diving with the phone, but since it's water resistant, it will probably get sometimes. May it affect the film? Loosen it? Or no problem, unless it gets underneath it somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys i have scratched my screen i know i should have been using a screen protector but just not go around to buying a new set.
Any way could someone point me in the direction of getting a new screen.
Also is it worth letting LG do it iv called them and the warranty does not cover the glass.
Any parts will have to be in the UK as i am also i had a look on ebay and have no idea what is official and what is not
Let me know guys thanks
What kind of scratch? Screen protectors can just cover it up so that you can ignore it and prevent further scratches. This saves at least $40 and prevent s you from having to open the phone up

Its a pretty deep scratch and goes from one side of the screen to the other
try a thick wet screen protector first then see if that fixes it
Would Liquid armor fill in the scratch? Best screen protection I've used to date, and I've had a fair share of phones

If your screen is not to scratched, you can install a privacy screen protector or a matte one, and you wont notice it anymore. Remember this will work only if it's not to much damage on the screen. Send photos to see the damage if you have them.
Liquid Armor will not Fix or Fill or Protect you screen.
It may only give you Water Spill-Resistant for a short time.
Please test it with Soil, Dust or Sand & you will learn a big lesson like my friend...!

I have used this screen protector before and it was pretty could you just have to make sure theres not one spec of dust on the screen before hand...
I'm also for XO Skin. Spectacular stuff; and it WILL take away scratches that aren't super deep. Spigen seems good, but its a dry application that's more of a hard film. It may take away some light scratches, but I don't think it will get in and fill the deeper scratches that you may have. XO would be your best bet. There's other wet protectors, but from what I've tried, the others are junk.
