I scratched my screen :( - HTC Inspire 4G

Ugh. It's all I can see when I look at the phone. Anybody have a line on replacement parts yet? Is the DHD screen interchangeable?

I have seen a few on EBay (from CA). That sucks man, mind me asking how you scratched it?

I dropped it about 3 feet and it landed on the glass. Lucky I don't have a shatter I suppose.

You didn't have a screen protector on?

No I don't like them and my captivate had gorilla glass. I guess I forgot how fragile a screen can be.

Ah that's rough. Mine's hit the ground twice, luckily only from 12"-16" though. Some of my corner's got a little mucked up from one of them, but it almost seems to be healing itself. It actually landed on the screen that time but the screen ended up being ok, I had to change my underwear though.

I don't do the protectors either! I can't stand the way the feel and look

I have a cover and screen protector from seidio. It literally cannot be seen or felt on the screen. The only problems i had was when putting the cover back on i pinched the screen protector and had to use a second one. Would definately recommend.

WOW, that's why I don't fly naked! Seems the screen would been hard to change.
Good luck!

i hate screen protectors too but damn brah. for the inspire it's a must.
I'm curious though.
How much does a screen protector really help?
Let's say i dropped it from a pretty high level onto a hard flat surface..
would it protect the screen from shattering or is it's sole purpose to resist scratches?

I think scratches are the best that you can hope that a screen protector will help you on. there is no way that a thin piece of plastic is going to stop a crack. i had a buddy who had an iphone 4 with a zagg invisible shield, and an otterbox defender with built in screen shield. he dropped it from waist high and shattered his screen!

Seem I saw someone have to order an Ispire screen but had to buy five at a time. Might look around and see if they have an extra.

The bestskinsever screen protectors feel like there is nothing on the screen. The only way you know there is a protector on my phone is at an angle with sunlight where you see the edge of the protector because it does not go all the way to the top by a millimeter or 2.
It really is all in the application. If you get a good application you should not see any signs of there even being a screen protector. I try not to use too much soapy water and wrap a microfiber towel around the squeegee I use.

I lucked out. My phone had the loose bottom corner issue so I took it to my at&t store. They replaced it. Now I'm hunting for a screen protector

screen protector

should I just get the screen protector from AT&T store?
Go naked, All the cool kids are doing it.....
i bought the iVisor from the store. works great on fingerprints & glare, but kinda dulls the screen. definite loss of clarity.
took it off at lunch today w/ the plan to return it...
then put it back on, and don't mind it as much.
dunno.
I got it and I can definitely agree with argylesocks on the clarity issue. To me though, losing a bit of clarity in favor of anti-glare doesn't bother me so I'd recommend that if you don't mind losing a little bit of clarity then grab the one from the ATT store.
i got the ivisor after i ntices a micro scratch on my screen. garilla glass is hard to scratch but i work around stuff that can cut hardened tool steel. occasionally something winds up in my pocket.
the ivisor is one of the better antiglare protectors i have seen but in general antiglare will effect the screen image. well it is a trade off. some can deal with it and some cant. there are many that are worse than this one. i would recomend it to anyone that wants a anti glare protector.

that dont mean it cant be scratched. i never scratched my captivate and i had it since august, but i did get a micro scratch on the infuse already, just got unlucky. it is barely visable but i know it is there. garilla glass vs hss and carbide doesnt help much. most people wont need a protector though
I went ahead and got the screen protector they had at at&t when I get my Infuse, in fact it was given to me free of charge because I switched from T-Mobile. I was going to get the invisible shield but this was much more convenient and free. And besides, I just like that piece of mind that I know my screen won't get scratched even though it has gorilla glass.

I got the att branded (case-mate) screen protector and hate it. It's matte surface and just looks terrible, takes away from the beauty of the screen. I'm going out to BB and another att store later to see if I can find any glossy screen protectors, otherwise I'm just gonna take this thing off.

Just got the one from ATT and its a WRITERITE. Will post after i install.
I picked up the Zagg from BB tonight. Never tried Zagg before, some people love them while others hate it, so we shall see...
Well the WRITERITE is not bad at all.. still have a lil glare but can still see fine out side. This was bought at ATT at walmart.

As far as I know, Gorilla Glass is actually more brittle than regular glass and is easier to crack.. It's just more scratch resistant.

not true. it may crack with some stress risers(scratches in particular areas) but it is difficult to crack, though im sure some forms of plastic are more crack resistant.
it may be hard and you may think that makes it brittle but it actually has a huge amount of give before it breaks.

if you break it you might just be unlucky
I'm using the iVisor screen protector, mostly to help my fingers glide over the touchscreen surface smoothly. It works well for that purpose and doesn't dull the image too much. Fingerprints are far less noticeable too. Dust does get trapped at the edges of the screen protector though. Still, it's worth using IMO.

Well, it all depends on what kind of dust, obviously.
I work with alot of shop type of stuff. Filing a piece of aluminum produces dust, metal dust.
Putting a piece of sandpaper in your pocket, the granules can rub off the paper, leaving abrasive particulates behind, even after the sandpaper itself is long gone.
I learned my lesson with my captivate. Put it in my shirt pocket, with nothing else. Later on I discovered hairline scratches, so some tiny crap was left in the pocket that I couldn't detect, and the phone got scratched.
I'd also be wary of holsters that don't have a soft felt inner lining on the side that contacts the screen. If it's leather-lined, as many inexpensive ones are, well, leather abrades. Strops for honing blades aren't made of leather for no reason.

Bought mine from AT&T. Screwed up the first one (thought the foggy stiff side was the adhesive protector... BTW, the ones from AT&T come in a 2 pack), but the first one is still on and I'm starting my 6th or 7th week with it. That might have something to do with the silicon cover I have though. It actually wraps around the front far enough that it overlaps the screen protector.
I know it came with 2 but I figured the first one came off so quick why put on the other... I also bought a couple off of eBay so I will put them on when I feel the time is right, and I think my case contributed to removing quicker also...it sit right on the edge of the screen, not on the screen but to the side and I think it could have interfered with it...
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Well. Looks like u have to make a decision... have a clearer screen with scratches on it (because no matter what u do, u will eventually get scratches) or loose a little bit of clarity with a screen protector and have no scratches. Screen protectors are temporary; they can be removed. Scratches are permanent.

Guys its on Cornings site. It has gorilla glass. But that doesn't say much. This phone weighs as much as a cement brick so when dropped it easily breaks. If it were lighter and made of plastic it may absorb shock easier.

That's what I'm wondering... This phone uses Gorilla glass I don't know if its worth getting a screen protector
I had an Evo for about a year, so did my daughter. Both has Gorilla Glass, never had a screen protector on either and never any scratches at all.
I always set mine down, screen side down so I wouldn't scratch the back
So, no need for a screen protector in my opinion. But, that's just how I am rolling with mine.
Some may not need it. Some people just want it. I, myself, always had it on my iPhones and my previous SGS2. I like the texture, I have better control since the glass is a bit too slippery. The ZAGG also bumps up color and contrast (imo, you can tell the difference on my iPhones). Those are my reasons.
Also gorilla glass doesn't mean its indistructable. It may survive keys in a purse but not from drops or things being dropped on it.
ordered one also
Have not received. A bit worried it will distort the screen clarity. Anyone get one on yet? I have had the captivate and moto phones and all have had Gorilla Glass but I always used a screen protector. Usually use best skins ever but they are not out yet. Used code ZAGG20 on checkout and took 3 off.
Yea, they're very nice (my opinion). I haven't see any discoloration in the last 2-3 years with Zagg. The image quality is crystal clear. And my touches register much more than without it. I guess I have very dry finger tips.
I've seen the zagg only once a long time ago. Does it still have that bumpy orange peel texture?

I used to swear by them but after awhile I got sick of lint sticking to parts of it that would come up a little. Plus I prefer a naked screen feel and just a think case for the back now. Might get one though just for the backside until a good matte case is available.
if I install 1 and let's say like 3 months later I don't like it,is it easy to remove the shield and liquid and bring it back to normal?

Any problems with Gorilla glass?
I was told that with Gorilla glass the use of a screen protector may make it difficult for the screen protector to stick.
I find this hard to believe since it should stick to any glass. At the mall the sales guy actually told me to pass on this because Gorilla glass has a chemical breakdown that is different than normal glass.
That may be true but- but has anyone had a problem before with InvisibleShield on a phone with Gorilla glass?

Screen Protectors?

Are screen protectors worth it? Or do they just leave smudges in the future when you take them off? I found a nice case on amazon that I'm going to buy for my infuse, I'm trying to figure out if screen protectors are worth it?
Anybody?
The Naked Shield screen protector came highly recommended by a folk here on the forums. You can either get the full cover or just the screen (I got the screen with the body glove TPU case)
and it won't leave smudges, affects screen quality, but not by much if at all.
edit: Got mine for $3.75 on ebay ($7.00 for the body glove case)
Thanks,
I'm just going to get the Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case, looks nice enough for a casing. I'm not going to use a screen protector though. I just don't want to leave any marks on the screen if it does.
I've found that unless you put your phone in your pocket with keys that you don't really need a screen protector.

What happens if your phone does get scratched...too late for a screen protector.
Gorilla glass DOES get scratched.
Apply a matt screen protector or a good quality one done the right way and you wont even notice it.
Your assuming that there are no downsides of having a protector. All though screen protectors are cheap and work well. They do affect the screen quality regardless of how well you put it on and its quality. It's personal opinion on how much it affects it though.
IMO it doesn't hurt it too much and I have one on.

If you're still looking for a screen protector I have the naked shield one. I just put it on my phone and it is great. It adds a rubbery finish but still slick when sliding. Unless you do a perfect application the screen does get imperfections that are noticible when looking at off angles (head on in low light it is not noticible)
I have an application with no bubbles and no dust and it looks great. But it is noticible.

Yes you should make a search through the forum next time but since this thread is already up..
I highly recommend a ZAGG Invisible Shield screen protector. It costs a little more but its absolutely worth it. They have a model for each specific phone so the protector molds around the camera and corners perfectly. It comes with a whole method of putting it on so its smooth when you finish. Plus if you register the screen protector on their website you can pretty much get a replacement for free if anything happens to the protector which isn't likely but still (too scratched to see the screen or something), plus if that happens it peels right off so you can put another one on and the screen is good as new. But its pretty epically scratch resistant, you can check out vids on youtube or their website. I can't stand when my screens get scratched, so I've been using it for years, very happy customer. They sell them at best buy.
Thanks for heads up guys. Much appreciated

These. They have great reviews. I am very happy with mine. Doing it's job well since July 2011. And it comes in a pack of 3 in case you mess up. And it comes with installation instructions. And, for giving them a good review, they offered to send me a pack of screen protectors free. So I got a pack of iPhone covers for my parents. Great company, great product
BTW if you mess up, soaking it in rubbing alcohol works great for removing dust and then you just try again and squeegee with a credit card.

It does have gorilla glass. When the phone originally came out it was on corninggorillaglass.com under products with gorilla glass. Now since it is old news it is off the site, but seeing as every major samsung phone is there like the GS, GSII, note, tab, and wp phones, I am sure the charge has it.

Without screen protector, you droid Charge will get scratch. Already happened to my daughter's phone.
I have never managed to scratch a smartphone screen, Gorilla Glass or not, and I've had smartphones since the original iPhone. I hate screen protectors of all forms. I hate the way the look and the way they feel, so I've never used one for more than a few days. I don't think I'm particularly "gentle" on a phone...the only thing special I do is keep it in a pocket by itself. I've seen other people's phone of various builds covered in scratches, and I still don't understand how they get so scratched up.

Not true! my daughter kept her phone in a pocket book full of car keys, pens and jeweries and she scratched it.

Doesn't matter what type of glass it has, it can get scratched. And not having a screen protector doesn't mean it will get scratched either. The Charge does have Gorilla Glass, but I wouldn't go around testing it out to see how tough it is. Odds are there are minimum hardness specs that it needs to pass, so some pieces of glass are harder than others.
I had mine in my pocket with keys for a year, no scratches. the plastic is scratched to heck, but the glass remains unscathed.
the charge has gorilla glass making it very scratch/crack resistant. i havent had a screen protector the whole time ive had it, which is about 10 months and it still looks brand new. and trust me, ive dropped it my fair share of times, infact i just dropped it earlier today. had it in my sweater pocket while i was riding my bike and it just flat out fell screen first onto the concrete. not even 1 little scratch.
just dont bother with a screen protector, it looks so much better without one.
but if you really are hell bent on getting a screen protector i can recommend Zagg, i had the enV Touch before this phone for 2 years with a Zagg invishield on the whole time. it kinda got that "rainbow" effect from the grease/sweat on your hands but it was very durable and scratch resistant with a nice fit. overall a perfect screen protector for my needs.
So everyone brag about how tough the screen on the charge, how would you explain to me there are 3 scratches on my daughter phone, which forced me to buy a screen protector???? you all claimed it "UN SCRATCHABLE".
I think you're the only person who's used the word unscratchable, but I did imply that you have to be careless to scratch a glass smartphone screen. Keeping my phone in a pocket by itself, and no other protections, has protected my screens without a screen protector since the original iPhone in 2007. Yes, there are situations where a screen protector would make sense, but in those situations, I'd probably rather use a case/holster that completely covered the screen.
