Screen Scratch - EASILY SCRATCHED.

I know this probably shouldn't be in the General Section but I just want to help people out! Beware, The HTC Sensation does not have proper gorilla glass, gorilla glass does scratch but not that easily, today I handed over my phone to some friends and I saw them using the phone very carefully but when i got the phone back there were BIG scratches here and there on the screen! Whoever hasn't bought a screen guard PLEASE do so and remember NOT to buy the glare screen guard, but the Anti-glare one. The glare screen protector doesn't work that well under the sun and most of the time you see yourself rather than the UI on the screen even in full brightness. The Anti-glare protector works PERFECTLY.
And also guys, please help me out. The scratches are really minor but irritating. The aren't visible when holding the phone normally or looking at it from the front but when i tilt the screen I can see them. Would getting a screen guard help? Would it hide the scratches?
Sorry if this has been posted already..

I had a couple of scratches on my screen so I put a zagg screen protector on. I can't see any scratches on my screen anymore.

Thanks a lot for replying. Unfortunately, that company isn't available here in my country. So would a normal screen guard by a good company do?

Can you post some pics?

Umm i dont think youll be able to see it in pictures.
Is AMZER a good company? would it hide the scratches?

Funny you mentioned that.
Before I returned my old unit for some issues, I did a scratch test using keys and the blade edge of scissors. I couldn't make any scratches although I was hitting the screen fairy hard...

magic. I'm the unlucky one I guess

Sorry for repost and BUMP - Is amzer a good company? Should I order the protector?

I always keep one pocket free for "the phone pocket"... I mean sure it's gorilla glass and all, just like my galaxy S was, but I don't want to test it out!
Sorry to hear that the OP was having issues. It seems very strange that a finger could cause scratches like that... Was there some kind of debris around? Like sand or something?

It is Gorilla Glass, and it isn't scratch proof:

DAMN lucky.
It's not actually a SCRATCH! Like a hard one, it's big thats why its visible when i tilt my phone and when i put my nail across the screen to check whether it's a scratch, i can feel it.

I think any screen protector will work.

You aren't getting a reply , because people don't know. Buy one and see for yourself. Screen protectors aren't expensive. I just bought 8 for under 10$

The hTC Sensation has Gorilla Glass

It's because your screen protector, those things aren't scratch proof. I had the same problem.

Oh wow, even the G1 used Gorilla Glass. That was long time ago and before other manufacturers started bragging about their Gorilla glass equipped gadgets. The same goes for back-illuminated camera sensor. Only Apple made a big deal out of it, while EVO 4G (saw it in iFixit teardown) and possibily also other HTC phones also used back-illuminated sensors.

again i had my phone since 6/16/2011 it stay in my cargo pants pocket with keys and everything else still my phone have know scratches all i get is finger prints wich is supposed to be finger print resistance

I may not call it a scratch. It's just irritating ordered the amzer protector.

evo 4g was supposedly gorilla glass. The one day i was rocking it without a case (the superbowl, i was a little buzzed) my buddy took me on a beer run got out of the car with phone on my lap and it skidded across the cement screen down. i flipped **** picked it up only to have a scratch on the top left plastic the screen was fine.
So you let you friends see ur phone and they handed it back with scratches? Id beat some ass thats not cool

micro scratches?

Is anyone else experiencing micro scratches?
I've baby'd my phone since I got it, never letting the screen touch anything, the pocket I put it in only ever has my phone it in, nothing else, ever.
Just recently after owning the phone for a little over a month now, im noticing micro scratches on the screen.
It's not normally seeable, but if your in a place with bright lighting or outside its pretty noticable and really annoying.
I figured with the gorilla glass on these things It'd wouldnt be an issue to not have a screen protector, especially for someone as careful as me.

99% of ppl think here that they are carefull with their phone...nope not even joking
on topic : get a a screen protector... a sand grain can successfully scratch u r screen but nails and knifes cannot

My commuter case came with a screen protector, but i've heard they're not the best and that an invisible shield would be better.

Lol this. It sounds freaking ridiculous that something that is sharp/dangerous to us, can't damage the phone, but something we don't even think about can.
Damn Mohs, and his scale.

These phones come with an oleo phobic coating, so some of the micro scratches could be in that as well.
and yeah, dust and sand can contain ground up quartz, sucks.. :/

Really? My Gnex did too, and that felt ALOT better than the straight glass on the HOX. I love this phone, but that's one of the few things I miss about the Nexus

I'm going to try to pickup an invisible shield for it.
I figure that even though the screen protector wont fill in the scratches, the light would reflect off the invisible shield instead of the screen making the scratches less noticeable. Does that make sense?

Yes. I had a few scratches on my sensation, and I put a skinomi screen protector on it, and now you can't see the scratches.

Now I just need to put a screen protector on for the first time ever.
I've heard putting it on in a steamy bathroom makes it easier.

If you would like, ATT puts them on for free in store I'm pretty sure. But the shields are expensive. I've heard some great reviews on skinomi so you could give that a shot. As far as a steamy bathroom, I usually turn on the shower for a little it really does help. Might be a placebo but I've gotten all my screen protectors near perfect.. I'm having too much fun using the phone naked though. Still contemplating getting a screen protector cause it would help with the face grease after talking on the phone.

I should be able to get an invisbleshield for fairly cheap locally.
Or I could order the bodyguardz screens online and get a 2 pack for about the same price as the invisbleshield, but then I have to wait a week.

Has anyone tried toothpaste or something else to remove the scratches? I have been contemplating it but I haven't seen any conclusive answer on what does and does not work.
From what some said, toothpaste works by grinding down the glass to get even with the scratches. Didn't sound like a good idea to me but I am open to suggestions

the toothpaste trick is NOT FOR PHONES.
Don't do it, you'll most likely scratch the **** out of your screen and make it look really foggy.

Haha, thanks I didn't plan on trying it since it fell under the "doesn't sound like a good idea" category. I figured there had to be something phone safe other than a post-injury screen protector though

You could always replace it, lol.

XO, BSE, SGP or something else?

Which will be the best screen protector? Which is the best based off your past experiences?
I am in the UK and willing to order from the US but I'm not sure which is the best. I still need to sell my unused XO from my Galaxy Nexus

UK here too. I've tried Zagg, Skinomi and BSE in the past. BSE are undoubtedly the best of those 3

I'm having trouble deciding on a screen protector as well, but I've always gotten the InvisibleSHIELD. I mostly do so because I can buy the full body skin (or any of the kits they sell), then take it to the mall and they'll apply it all free of charge. If they screw up (they never do), then they'll give me a brand new one. If it gets all scratched up, gets a bubble, or ANYTHING, I just take it to the mall (without a receipt or box or anything) and they'll replace it all totally free. If I screw up applying other protectors, I don't want to have to ship it back and wait for a new one. While others do sometimes have kiosks (from what I've heard), I have yet to actually see one. I've never minded the whole orange peel thing personally, so it doesn't really affect my decision by much. I just love their warranty in combination with the kiosks. It makes it very easy.
Another thing I'm worried about is this: If I get the full body kit, can I still use a case, or will the friction of putting the case on be enough to screw it up? Has anyone had this issue? Should I just get a front and back kit instead? I plan on using case with the phone to protect from drops and what not, I usually just get a Speck Candy Shell or something, although I'm a huge fan of the LifeProof cases since they look good and offer great protection (either or not they'll make a Nexus 4 case is a different story, I suppose).

BSE all the way
...already on order.

How is the touch feeling of BSE ? Similar to glass or sticky like Zagg ?

They are all very similar. I usually go with Skinomi because of the price. I already pre-ordered it off Amazon.

I love XO skins. I just ordered one for the Nexus 4.

sgp steinheil is the best it feels smooth like its not there but is extremly hard my nexus s has deep scratches on the screen protector that havent even touched the glass

The best screen protector... is you! Don't slide your phone across the table, don't drop it, and don't put it in your pocket with potentially "dangerous" things (pens, keys, etc.), and all should be ok
I'm not a big fan of screen protectors; I like to have full touch control with my screen, and would rather not worry about what was the cause of my screen not registering that input (was it the screen protector, or just the phone itself?).

Well I don't know what kind of screen protectors you've been using but the ones I've used don't have any effect on the sensitivity of the touchscreen. I am careful with my stuff anyway but the small hairline scratches really annoy/bother me for some reason.

Protection is absolutely necessary for me since I work in construction/maintenance

I personally love steinheil! ( SGP )

I'm going for Ghost Armor actually.

Your question is the best for the N4. But nobody has any of these screen protectors made for the N4, and only a couple really lucky people have the phone. None of the opinions in your poll are actually based on experience with this device and this protector. Wait until people start getting them and then look at reviews.

where you order it??? Icant decide

I'm going with BSE because I've heard a lot of good things about them. Plus I like the wet apply idea. I've ALWAYS had problems with the sticky dry screen protectors. One little piece of fuzz or dust and you have annoying bubbles every where. And over time bits of fuzz/lint get up around the corners and it slowly starts to peel off.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter what you do. Before you know it you'll be in direct sunlight and you'll see all sorts of small little scratches. Then later, you'll always know they're there. I'm OCD about it. I can't stand having the tiny little scratches because I want my phone to stay new. I think the first time you put a phone in your pocket, it gets some sort of tiny little scratch from something.. then over time they build up and make the screen look aweful. Plus its funny you say pens and keys because those things wont scratch gorilla glass. I've tired a key on my old Atrix and nothing comes from it. It's actually particles of dust that have maybe glass or something else hard, or sand.

I want a dry applied one and really wanna know if a dry one can cover the entire screen of Nexus 4.......

XO Skins are the ones I have been using for a few years now. From what I have read xo and sgp are the only ones without orange peel. I don't know how the sgp do on curves though I posted a review of xo in my signature when I had the samsung google nexus

Me too. I ordered some of these:

They were great on my G2 but it has a flat screen. I'll let people know after I get them. I will be disappointed if they don't properly stay on the screen.
What is this "Orange peel" that people are referring to?

Warning: Skinomi water damage easily

Maybe Im just a damn idiot, as I am not used to wet application screen protectors, but after installing skinomi, my phone is stuck on safe mode and touchscreen no longer works. I kinda wish I never bought it, I feel sad, mad, and ready to cry. I had my phone a whole 4 days... Im posting this as a warning, Not sure what I did wrong, but I will NEVER use wet application screen protectors again.

Sorry to hear. I wonder why people use screen protectors in the first place. Why? I've owned more phones than I could even begin to count, never used a screen protector and have never scratched a single one of my phones' screens.

Probably why they say a thin layer, and to squeegee it away from any opening. I have a Skinomi shield on. Did you also let it sit for four hours before turning it on? Following the instructions is important. I hope you had insurance on it. It's such a great phone to lose because of a little water.

Well you are one of the lucky ones, i had a few phones in recent years that had gorilla glass...but still got little scratches on the screen that were super annoying. One from keys in pocket the other one fell of a table and knicked a pebble.
I will never go without one on my phone

I won't either, but rather have tempered glass. Maybe some day it will be out. I dropped my phone once with a tempered glass shield. The shield broke, but the screen was undamaged, and the seller sent me a new one free.

I feel for you. I was almost in that boat.
The edge part of the note is where all the water goes. It gets in by the spen and hits the main board.
I let mines dry for a little bit then turn it on and the screen was fine (minus the dots or lint) but then when it boot the screen went brown and crap. I pulled the battery and took the phone apart and blow dry it for 30mins. Put it back together and my heart attack stop.
Lol
But yes be very careful with the phone and water. I recommend removing the s pen and wraping a towel around the phone once done. Let dry for a hr then blow dry it for 20mins.
I never done a wet protector either but I think I got it now. Isthe inky problem is they seem to get more lint from the mist of the spray. But also I'm not in a dang white clean room.
Lol...

Best place to put it on is in the bathroom after a shower. It becomes the most lint free room in the house. [emoji6]

I posted a pic. Just unscrew the bolts and slowly lift up the board. And blow dry it on low.
There are push connectors for the power button so it's possible that has started to short out.
I wish you the best with recovering your phone.
I wash my protector off and put it back on. So all is good for me now.

Well, it really depends. All my phones so far since gorilla glass was invented were without screen protectors and I've not had a single scratch. I realised that was also partly because I've always kept my phone inside my pocket alone, with nothing else inside together with the phone. My wife chucks her phone into her bag together with everything else, wallet (with metallic zippers), coins, keys etc, and she got a deep scratch within days. So if you are those who chucks your phone into your bag, it's still safer to get a screen protector.

I always keep up with my phones, in a pocket along, take good care of them, but to me it's the case of what if.
If the seen gets scratch that's it. If a protector gets scratch I can change it and not live with a messed up screen.

BAD NEWS:
so the phone came on again, for about an hour and everything was working perfectly. I thought i was good, so I charged the phone. After I did that, vertical green lines appeared through the screen, and eventualy, the phone randomly went into bootloop. It got so bad I was not even able to reset the thing to factory settings.
GOOD NEWS:
For some reason, the water damage indicators did not activate so I was able to exchange my phone at AT&T as I was still within 14 day return period. I explained to the manager what happened and he said it was fine. Just finished setting up my new phone and bought a ZAGG invisible shield DRY from AT&T. It is super hard to install, and I got it in there with much mediocrity. Im going to wait for something better to come out, as I am now traumatized and will not even take my phone into the restroom because now I feel a tiny little splash of water will make the phone explode.

That it's good news indeed, glad it worked out for you.

I can tell you that they feel much better.
This was my frist wet one. Had some problems at frist but in the end all was good.
I'm a pro at installing dry ones tho. But I may go with more wet ones in the future I'll see how this one holds up.

Been using Skinomi protectors on several devices without any ill effect. I love the feel and look of the protector!

I recently posted something in the Troubleshooting section about the scrolling edge panels (Yahoo Sports/Finance) acting up after the installation.

Cracked display..

I dropped my phone earlier, i have a thin case on it, it fell back down and the display cracked, not the outer glass, but cracks on the inside. Are these phones really that fragile that their display will break from being dropped on the back at about table height? That seems like nonsense. Good thing i have a warranty.

Sorry about your bad luck, got pics of the case and the phone?

Are they really as good as everyone says they are? I've never had one, i much prefer thinner cases, but you're right, it may be worth it this time around

I used to work as a sales rep at a Sprint store and I would demo my otterbox by throwing my phone across the room. They work. Out of about 300 throws I got 1 cracked screen, so I'd say those odds are pretty good.

They do work but you now have a brick for a phone instead of a slim/seek device. Tradeoffs.
