On another note do you think getting a screen protectors now could help make it less noticeable, maybe the sticky could fill it in.

ClearTouch Crystal at BoxWave.com Make SUPER Clear Screen Protectors. They Arent very noticable and they say they are 99% Clear. Hard to tell you have one on. Reviews seem good too. just google it. likes 12$ a Protector, maybe cheaper if you find some kind of discount code.

a "fix" for scratches
I suggest you grab the zagg screen protector. it should make the scratches invisible. they are totally awesome for protecting the screen. I took a fork to my wifes blackberry as a show, and thought i had went to far when I heard a "screech," but after pulling off the protector the screen was flawless. It also doesnt use "sticky stuff" so when you pull it off "i used mine on my blackberry for 2 years" the screen is clean and not sticky.
The only con is the price, $20, but i love my bolt like a newborn, its totaly worth it to me.

Agreed. The zagg screen protectors are amazing.

I honestly would not try this on my phone, I would rather live with the scratches, but if you want to try something I would recommend mr clean magic eraser which is basically wettable micro sand paper. This could possibly damage your touchscreen functionality though, I have no idea. I have no clue what else you'd possibly try.

id recommend trying a screen protector though, instead, of course.

I might be looking into a screen protector as well. I went a year and a half without one on my Eris, and didn't get a single scratch on the screen. I've had the Thunderbolt a week, and I just yesterday noticed two damn scratches on the screen. No clue how they even got there, I've been super careful with the damn phone!
I've read lots of mixed reviews about Zagg screens. I looked up reviews on that CrystalTouch screen though, and could only find positives. I think I'll try that one.

I thought I had a scratch on mine, but it went away after some gentle buffing of the screen with a cloth.
I haven't used it, but I've seen some tv adverts for some liquid eye-glass cleaner that supposedly fills in scratches. I'd meant to grab some a few years ago to see if it would fill in a scratch on my iPhone, but I don't have that one any more, so no way to test it out personally. I don't remember the name, but Google should find it for you.

There is something about the Thunderbolt screen that makes it feel scratch-able; I'm running it naked for now, and no scratches, but I'm a bit nervous about it.
I used the Zagg on my original iPhone. I don't think anything will protect it better, but some people have a tough time getting past the "orange peel" feel to it. I got used to it quickly, though.

I know how you feel, I found a a tiny scratch on mine this week too. I got the Zagg screen protector to cover it, but honestly, I hated it so i took it off...I missed the shine and bare feeling of the screen.. I used some toothpaste with whitening with a cue tip and it sort of made it better.. I'm kind of over it after rooting my phone and tweaking it, just try to enjoy it...my .2 cents.

I went to the mall and there was a Zagg stand. I asked how much and they told me $30. Wow. For a piece of plastic. I dont care how good it is. I went to the verizon kiosk and picked up a screen protector pack for $3. It kinda helped but i can still see it. :\

Screen Protector Woes

Hey guys, I just received a generic dry applied screen protector from Amazon and I'm having some problems with it. I have 2 more so if I need to reapply to try to fix these issues its not a problem.
1) The sides of the screen protector are lifted up and wont stay stuck down due to the infinity screen's curve at the end. Can I somehow make this dry screen protector stick? I'd like not having to buy a new wet applied one since they are around $10 (if you guys can find one for cheaper, please let me know!).
2) I just applied it and it made the screen kind of fuzzy. It has kind of like the look of when you put greasy hands on your device if you guys know what I mean. Will this go away when the adhesive dries? It has already been one day since I applied it.
Thank you!

Here's a question: How much did you pay for your 3 pack?
Honestly they sound pretty cheap if they can't even stick or if you can tell it's on your phone. You could return them as defective and get the SGP ones.

I had the same issue. I'm either doing the wet application or have a nekkid phone!

And next time invest in some better quality ones. Then you should be satisfied.

I bought ZAG from AT&T, they put it on for me and it was well worth it. She did a Fantastic job.

i hate matte screen protector ...
for a dry application i think the peel on the side of the edge is unavoidable when the glass is curved ...
i might have to go with a wet application this time even i really dont want to

for wet applications - xoskins ive tried them all , best one.
Dry - brando uk ultra clear - takes forever to get them shipped but they are awesome.

Just picked one up at radioshack. At first I was hesitant to let the girl there apply it for me, but she said she was somewhat of an expert and, after seeing the fantastic job she did, I agree! Soooo much better than what I've been able to do on past phones!

The ZAGG HD screen protectors aren't bad. I personally will be waiting for ghost armor to come out with their protectors (hopefully they will). If your in an area where their is a kiosk they do a professional install and if anything ever goes wrong with your screen protector they will install a new one for 5 bucks for life.

So much for Gorilla Glass..

My phone was just knocked off a coffee table onto a rug...
Must have met up with a grain of sand. I'm going to see that every time I look at the phone now...
Lesson learned? Use screen protector, even if you hate the rubbery feel
(tried my best to get a picture of it... pretty difficult to focus on)

I work in general construction. Meaning, dirt and saw dust is constantly flying around. I messed up in not buying a screen protector, and now the screen has a few hair line scratches that are only visible in certain lighting and at certain angles.
I don't really care though, cause I have SquareTrade insurance.

ahhh man i'm sorry . . mines got a few scratches on it which pisses me off everytime i see them, i don't even get how the screen got scratched. but that's just phones nowdays if you don't get a huge otterbox case stuffs gonna go down =/ F an otterbox case tho what's the point of the slimmest phone if we gotta do that?!

I recently dropped my phone as well with a case on, wasn't much help, the screen got chipped. however after examining it further, it seems that the screen has been treated with a gloss or some kind of finish on top of the glass. This may explain the scratching issue. It's really the gloss or finish that's being scratched off.

Annnnnnd theres another smaller knick near the top :'(
So I have been contemplating exchanging this phone for another because the lower plastic rear cover sticks out slightly on one side (was that way out of the box)... and I like my expensive things to be as perfect condition as possible (ironic, right?)
Think this damage to the glass will completely kill my chances of Amazon swapping out the phone?

Idk about amazon but I know T-Mobile wouldn't mention it especially if its not cracked cracked

If you don't like the rubbery feel look up realook screen protectors on amazon you can't even tell they are there had one on my vibrant for 2 years before I got my one s and it still looks ok considering the abuse I put it through. I have one on both my wifes and my one s's and she can't tell it's there either.

I had a Vibrant with Gorilla Glass that lasted 2 years without a screen protector and did not have a scratch on it. I thought my new One S would be the same.
Instead, after only 2 days - never having dropped it and with the phone only residing in my pocket (not the same pocket with my keys and change), my One S somehow got a hairline scratch on the screen.
I have since put a screen protector on it - though I much prefer not having one on it. Every time I see the scratch, I still get annoyed.
My advice to anyone considering buying a One S - before you even leave the store, invest in a screen protector.

Geesh.. makes me wonder if Sony's "scratch resistant" glass is actually any more durable..

I wasn't going to place a protector on my One S... but this changed my mind.

That's why you get a screen protector and a shell case right out of the box. If you are that particular about your expensive phone, it is well worth the extra cash. I got a shell case for mine and a screen protector as soon as I got my one s. Also helps resale value later if you have no scratches on it anyplace. X) I love my phone!

I knowwwww but I loved how the phone felt!! but I got a case anyway and had actually put it on earlier that day haha (just not the screen protector)

I learned my lesson the hard way too, now I use cheap matt protectors that I buy from Ebay for £3 for 5. Bargain considering my phone is worth nearly £350, thats as long as the screen stays scratch free

Cool, I am gonna order from Amazon ASAP. How does it feel compared to the glass, is it smooth or does it have some resistance? Or does it have any pixelation?
BTW, @enemyrex, Love the sig lol.

looking good. i am in between this and case mate barely there.

Yup I was in the same predicament and I went with the case-mate barely there. I love the case. I went white on white. I don't need super protection but just want to protect from scratches and getting dirty.

i just noticed that incipio one covers more edges. so i think i am more leaning toward this...

Good to see they finally got them out, but im not sure if I would pick it up our not. When I had my SGS II I loved my NGP that I had on it, right now im rocking the diztronic tpu which is almost the same exact setup as the NGP.

From the pictures on the site, the feather looks exactly the same except the bottom part looks like it wraps around a bit further and the top has an extra piece that covers the middle section between the headphone jack and the power button.

Just ordered a feather. Will report back when I get it.

Just got my feather in and I can tell you that there is a reason they don't show you what it looks like directly from the front. The case is much thicker than they would lead you to believe and is pretty damn ugly when it's on. I will never use this case.

^dang sorry to hear that
Well Im going get mine in the mail soon so I guess I know what to expect

It is almost flush with the camera lens, MAYBE a little bit thicker. If you lay the phone down on its back it definitely does keep the camera lens off the table, there is like a .5mm gap that I can see through. So yes, but not by much.

Got mine today. A bit pricy imo, I try to not spend more than $10 on a case. Keeps the thin profile and the material actually makes the phone easier to grip. I like the fact that the front portion is flushed with the phone(not good for ppl who like putting their phones face down). Probably gonna be switching between this case and the Amzer case. Really liking it.

Edit: Just purchased the Black Feather for my white HOX

I bought the Incipio feather in gray for my white HOX and I like the grippy/rubbery feel to the back. It's not my favorite case but I can definitely see me rocking it from time to time.

Really like that case waljie.

Been rocking the black with my white HOX. Love it!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

They don't have a white case and I couldn't decide between buying the gray or the black for my white HOX. Finally settled on getting the gray one (I figured it didn't really matter since I'm planning on having a few cases sitting around to swap as my mood changes).

I've never been a huge fan of any soft plastc/silicone since they are huge dust and hair magnets. I have a jack russell and this thing loves to attract hair and pet dander.

Matte finish wearing?

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone who has been using the HOX naked has had any issues with the matte finish wearing off and becoming glossy? When the phone was first released, I heard a bit that this might happen, so I wanted to see how everyone is fairing.
I bought my HOX on day 1 and got one of the OEM HTC cases (blue one with horizontal slots along the whole back).. and its been HORRIBLE! The casing is so thin that it started to crack in the corner when I removed it to clean or change my SIM card. Eventually, a piece of the case broke off. I then checked my One X and found out that dust had been trapped underneath and because it was loose, scuffed up the whole bottom of my phone! It was a complete waste of $20. So now I'm thinking about going nude for the time being.

Rocking it naked without an issue. Having a sleeve custom made, though, just to have a little bit of protection while running around. Pics will be posted once I finally get a chance to pick it up.

Grey. Naked since day one. No problems.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Just thought I'd throw this out there. My naked white is still incredibly clean. Rubbing it slight removes all small blemishes. I still haven't had any major mishaps with the white but I'm fairly confident that it will come off easily if I get proper cleaning materials. King of surprised by how clean it is really.

This sounds pretty good guys, doesnt sound like i need to worry much about being naked

No its fine naked. Just like the post have mentioned. A good minimal case that adds no bulk really is the case mate barely there case. If you need a case I recommend you check that out. It is very very thin and looks good. Just in case you decide you want to try a case.
Sent from my HTC One X

The matte finish is definitely starting to wear and I don't believe it will hold up. Look very closely and under bright light right by the speaker grill where the phone normally rests when sitting on a surface. There is a bit of wear in the matte finish. I can confirm this on two different device. These are white ones. This is too bad because I was really hoping the case on this phone would be super durable. With the way HTC talked it up it sounded indestructible. Looks like it's time to see how well the s3 case is holding up for people...

Nothing makes me cringe more than a beautiful design hidden behind a case. But, I also feel for those whose naked phones go flying to the ground.

Naked. There is a very slight "chin" on back just below the "beats audio" logo.
This is the area that touches whatever surface the phone is set down on. On my HOX this area is starting to "smooth" very slightly. Noticeable by eye really and only in good light. Not causing me any concern.
The One X just feels too good in hand to put a case on. :good:

It's not.
The One S had a ceramic coating that would chip off and reveal the metal underneath. Our phone is plastic.
