Anyone else notice this? Mines coming off from being in and out of my pocket so much
Its disappointing to see the end of the kickstand look like it has paint peeling off
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I peeled it off the second I unboxed it...
I meant it has a paint on the kickstands
If u look at it, it has a greyish tint to it and at the end of my kickstands this paint is peeling off so its a bright silver color

Just noticed this on mine... Thanks :/ Im starting to think this device is not so good after all.
I'm just hoping that once it peels of completely the "with Google" is still there

I just looked after reading this and mine is peeling too.
Mines not peeling yet, I will stop using it now though for sure.
I read on AC that someone was successful exchanging their TB for this problem. So you might want to get on that before it becomes more widespread.
i don't see any paint peeling off of mine, it seems like its just brushed aluminum, nothing to indicate that it has any kind of paint on it. maybe it's a clear coat over the metal?
No paint peeling here.. but I do have some scuffing.. I need a case.
I will probably end up plasti-dipping the kickstand lol....
I actually have a full body shield so mine is ok

I noticed mine peeling a couple of days ago, not a good start
I just taped mine up as a preventive measure. Looks like **** but whatever at least I can use it this way.
Is anyone not using a screen protector? I have one but am itching to take it off. Just seeing what people think.

I never used a screen protector on my fascinate, banged it up a lot and there were only minor dings in the plastic back cover...
Charge is the same, its taken a beating and I've only gotten one little scratch on the screen, but I got that at the beach... sand is notorious for being corrosive/scratchy to phones so I couldn't really help it no matter where I put it it was bound to happen
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
The charge has Gorilla Glass. You have to try to scratch it. But, I have one on mine. However, the BACK of the phone is a scratch magnet.

I scratched my Fascinate with a box cutter.... Otherwise nothing to date has been able to scratch it or my Charge because of Gorilla Glass.

I was using the verizon screen protecter and i do not recommend it to anyone. It makes everything kinda blurry and on white screens you really notice a rainbow effect going on.

This is why I'm itching to take it off.
Also, does the charge actually have gorilla glass? I've read about this at a couple other places and they all say different things. Is there any proof?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
All the sources I can find say it is Gorilla Glass.
I use a Skinomi Techskin full body cover. I love it.
I personally always use a screen protector. I don't care about little scratches myself but in 2 years when I get a new phone I'm going to sell this one and it's a huge plus if this thing has no scratches. Plus, if you get a good protector you'll never notice it's even there.
Samsung charge has Super Amoled Plus screen. It's scratch resistant. Putting on a screen protector completely negates all the good things about this screen. For example with a screen protector the ability to see the screen under sun light (yes. Super Amoled Plus Screen makes it easier to see the screen under sun light) is negated.

I can honestly say that my screen protector does not affect the performance of my screen at all. It still trumps my friend's iphone4's retina displays all day every day.
I have had this on my last 3 phones and swear by it. It covers the whole screen and I don't even know it is there.
I had it on my fascinate for 8 months and that is almost scratch resistant itself. had a few minor marks on the protector from a screw in my pocket.

I bought 3 sets of screen protectors. One from china, one from the us, one from ny. Random sellers with good ratings. Turns out the ones from us and china scratched when even wiped with the given cloth. And the one from ny had way too many bubbles (not due to dust. It was because it was too stiff?)
So if anyone has any extras that are good that you can spare, would you be willing to donate it to me? . Please and thank yous!

i actually just got a couple of screen protectors from eBay and they were pretty good. Went on nice, with no bubbles or deteriorating of visual quality. its also fingerprint proof which is really convenient especially since i use my phone a lot. check it out, pretty good price

I will vouch for the protectors BlazinHitman posted, I bought 1 while I was waiting on my G2x to arrive and I will say it is a pretty decent screen shield. Also out of sheer curiosity I ordered a set from T-Mobile and the ones I go from then were the worst ones I have ever seen. They give you these mm thick bullet proof screen shields that you can barely see through. Almost makes your display look like a old school gameboy
ahaha hows the touch screen with the screen protector? ahahah. and just out of curiosity, if we cant put the protector on with the first try, is it still good for a second go? as my hands arent very stable.

I got a TPU case and screen protector and epic failed to put it on. I had to trash it. I just bought the ones from the link above, they could be a little different, and maybe I'll have better luck with my hands this time around. If not, oh well, it's $2.

That. Screen protector will not affect the touch screen. And you can reuse it as long as you don't put any bends/creases in it.

No no no, the mm thick one I was referring to was the ones I bought from T-Mobile when I ordered the phone. Those things I swear are thick enough to be bullet proof. The ones you ordered are thin, and clear. You will not even know you have it on the phone when you get it on.
cool. is it scratch proof? not totally scratch proof, i mean like scratchproof from like cards and stuff. .
and does anyone have the replacement tools to change the bezel? i ordered a bezel but it didnt come with the tools. . if anyone has extras, would ya'll be kind enough to send me a screw driver and on of those poppy thingies? thanks )). i cant stand scratches or marks on my phone so i wipe the phone everytime i take it out of my pocket. and the guy i bought it from screwed me over by giving me a screwed up bezel with dents and really noticable scratches.
thanks~~~.

I put mine on using my old blockbuster card and had no problems or any scuff marks.
And I do not have any small tools like that sorry.
yea like panowolf suggested use a credit card or something like that to smooth out the screen protector when u put it on. also make sure to clean it extra well, it comes with a couple of cleaning cloths. if you put it on correctly u should be good to go
i read that its reusable. we can just wash it?
the thing is... the crap screen protectors i got from china scratched from the credit card. (lol). or maybe i was just pressing too hard.which still doesnt mke any sense.

Yes you can reuse/wash it. Just be sure to put it on slow. Most people who put them on themselves just lay the entire protector down and try to work the bubbles out. You gotta slowly apply it and work the air out as you go. But im sure you know this already
I ordered the lifetime stealth shieldz from amazon, 2 for 5 bucks in case you needed another for whatever reason. I've only had it on for a couple weeks but it still looks as good as new, feels good no scratches and still perfectly clear.

Same question. Does anyone have experience getting the full width screen protectors?
Specifically I'm looking for either matte or mirror ones.
I've gone through a ridiculous amount of screen protectors and all of them have had an annoying orange peel affect. Anyone know of any brands that don't have the this major problem?

You where only trying to help, not being naive. I don't know if I can explain this correct but if if you feel the surface of a lemon or an orange it has a weird sort of greasy feeling. That is the case with almost all wet install screen protectors like zagg and body guardz. Although i believe body guards has dry install ones so if you are talking about that one, then I havent tried it yet.

It's not so much the feel of the screen I'm talking about, the screen protectors I've used mess up the screen's picture quality adding this bumpy look (similar to an orange).
It's really noticable on the G2x because of it's IPS display (i think).

I just bought one for my G2x, it's by XO Skins.
I can't even really tell its there at first glance. I mean, obviously I know though.
http://xoskins.com/ Search for G2x and you'll see full body and just screen.
I got the just screen one and it goes edge to edge. It does have a bit of a rubbery feel, but it doesn't bother me too much since it's not my daily driver anymore. :x
Just swiping you don't really feel it, but if you slow down, you can. I heard it goes away after a few weeks though.
EDIT: An important note is that this is a wet-apply protector, so you'll have to give it a bit before you go back into using the phone.
EDIT2: Here's some pics.
like stated above the one I use is a wet apply method and it is a ZAGG. it has a slight rubbery feel but you get used to it and it doesn't have the orange peel you are trying to avoid. plus it comes with a no questions asked lifetime warranty so if I take it off or mess it up they send me a new one free of charge
stay away from the Skinomi DryTech ones, I took mine off after a week because of the lousy feel-- plus some of the air bubbles never went away.

Skinomi TechSkin on the other hand is a different story. I don't care for the super-rubbery feel of some screen protectors either. TechSkin, in my opinion, is better. I think it may have to do with the thickness. The "orange peel" is minimal compared to say BODYGUARDZ (which I have used). I don't know, there's just something different. It seems clearer, feels more like a dry applied protector. That said, It is a wet-apply screen protector, and does have some of those undesirable qualities. It's quality though puts it somewhere in the middle of those two types, and I really like it.
The orange peel effect can be due to low quality screen protectors or a bad application. I've had good luck with Zagg (but I hated the feel, so I returned it), Ghost Armor, and PhantomSkinz. Ghost and Phantom both feel great, but Ghost is a bit easier to apply. Had a few resistant bubbles near the edge of the PhantomSkinz
An aquaintence of mine has the S3 and I didn't ask why but it looks like the phone was dragged behind a pickup truck on dirt road.

LOL then it probably was, the screen is very durable.
The screen can break pretty easily too, already got a crack on mine from a small fall out of my pocket when i had crouched.
I've always had a screen protector on every one of my phones due to the fact I always carry them in a pocket. I tend to use an Otterbox Commuter case when working in the field (I am in the military) and a slimmer case like the Spigen Modello for normal every day use. So my phones tend to be scratch free... your mileage may vary.
I will not answer this - to superstitious - I might jinx myself.

The screen is not very search resistant. I somehow managed to get a very small scratch on mine. And I tried to take care not to man handle it before I got a case and screen protector on it.
There is a YouTube video where the Samsung is put to a drop test at waist height from a two positions and the screen broke.
So the guy blew up the phone..lol
I already have 2 scratches on my screen =( and I'm very careful with it
My phone is always going into jean pockets, sliding off the passenger seat into the unknown cracks and crevices of the jeep. Not one screen scratch. No screen protection.

I came from a Droid Razr and while they said the screen used the new gorilla glass, I still was getting scratches on my screen. When I switched to the SIII I wasn't gonna take any chances. I got a moshi brand screen protector for mine. Kind of expensive but it adheres via static so no bubbles, very smooth tracing, and very good protection.
Bottom line - They're expensive but worth every penny. We use them on our display iPads at my store and even crazy kids haven't scratched them yet.

Galaxy S3 has Gorilla Glass 2, so I use it without any screen protector.. but I am thinking of buying one hearing news from you guys...
I took off screen protector (curved crystal) It scratched to easy I think what would scratch this is putting it in your pocket with change or keys. Or setting it flat where there is grit or fine pieces of sand. But this screen is pretty scratch resilient
