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.

Rub some sand/gravel on it next time. You probably wont get as lucky. Typical keys are made out of mild steel so it would make sense that the glass might resist heavy damage. Have you turned your screen off and examined in good light? The bolt does supposedly have GG. I'd still get a screen protector, with a good one you'll never know it was there, the vzw one is a pos.
I already have a flaw in my screen, looks like a little dot that I have no idea how it got there as I have not done anything to cause it. This is a physical thing on the "glass" that you can see with the screen off/on. Not a dead pixel or anything.
Id still get a screen protector. I boight my TB, had it in my pocket for a day, and somehow got a scratch down the middle of the screen. If its gorilla glass, its not as good as other screens.

I second this. I cant even see the thing on my screen (unless you look at the seam at the bottom).
Heh, keys are nothing. I keep my TB without any covers in my pocket for most of the day. I can throw anything in there with the phone and have no damage. Ironically enough though, the one day I have it in there with nothing else, I have a nice slash right down the screen. The little specks of crap that lay around your pockets are what do the damage, not the big things.
i think you guys might have faulty glass... i dunno..it seems tough to me.. way tougher than my iphone for sure...

I took out my Mytouch last night and started playing games and noticed how smooth the screen felt. It took me a while to notice that the screen protector had come off.
I needed to replace it anyway since the top right corner was loose and dirty. Just a little story I wanted to tell. Does anyone else use a screen protector?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I used to. I would always make sure I had a screen protector before i even got the phone so I could have it on on day one. But I recently took off my sp and noticed how great and clear and responsive the screen was without it. I've been rocking it naked for almost two weeks. Not a single scratch. Basically, with all of these glass and gorilla glass screens, you don't really need an sp unless you are putting the phone in a purse with keys and change or in a pocket with other items. I always have my phone in it's own pocket and keep nothing else in it. Haven't experienced a scratch. Don't think I'll ever use an sp again.

I thought MT4G owners said this phone gets dusts under the screen and spots, so wouldnt a SP be helpful here?
Naked since I tired of it after my first week! Months without one and not a single scratch...
Ive had a screen protector on mine since day of purchase, the guy at the tmobile store put it on before turning on the phone. I did have a sp-less HD2 that was mint and never had any scratches. the screen was very smooth and a tad bit more responsive. I think when I get my replacement mytouch, itll have the naked screen
I have a screen protector and a TPU case. I have it just in case. You never know what can happen. I feel like I can be a little less carefull with the phone with the cover on the screen. For example if im working on my car and using my phone to play music I can touch the screen with my dirty fingers and not worry about dirt and grime putting a scratch on it. Just wipe it off at the end of the day and its perfectly fine.
no screen protector is just so much more awesome.
It's kind of like having sex with a condom. Sure it still works while using protection but it feels so much better without it!

LOL never heard anyone put it quite like this in regards to a phone, but somehow it works and makes perfect sense!
I carry my phone in the T-Mobile leather sleeve so the screen is always protected and therefore I don't bother with a screen protector. My buddy doesn't use a case and therefore does use a SP, and the difference is noticeable. His screen is much less responsive, and it's more difficult to drag your finger across it.

Story from my Nexus One. I had a Zagg shield basically forever, but the case I had did a number on the edges. I was getting close to getting a new phone, so I decided to just take the protector off and go naked. I figured, in my pocket, what could happen?
Within a day I had a nice scratch at the upper edge of the screen. Non in the "display" area, so I suppose that's good, but still not great for resale. I should be happy though that I haven't had any other issues.

Some days ago I put the phone in my pocket and since I was in a hurry I forgot that my keys were inside too. After playing handball for some time I take the phone out of my pockets and notice this huge and deep scare right in the middle of the screen. I almost cried, really. But when I took the screen protector off, guess what, it was like new!
So, screen protectors dont feel as good as naked but at the end of the day you will be safe.
Naked since new, no scratches. SP's are a waste of money on most new devices with gorilla glass or scratch resistant glass.

Gorilla Glass or other high tempered scratch resistant glass can still get scratch. All you need is the right grind of sand in your pocket or right angle of impact from key, ect. SP only costs like 10dollar and high end like DQC/Crystal based is like less than $20. In the long run it pays for itself just stay out of InvisibleSHIELD BS but when you do get scratch you will beat yourself crying why didn't you spend $10. As having scratch on the screen does impact the resell value of the device.

I got like three scratches on my screen yesterday and I have no idea why. I never ever have put it screen down. I am 100% sure nothing was in my pocket including any dirt OR sand. I guess there MAY be a very faint chance that my keys were in the same pocket for a second but I truly don't think so. I am extra anal about this thing, laughably so. I buff it, I take my pocket inside out and smack it around, I make sure the screen is facing out in my pocket. So I'm usually very conscious of which pocket my keys are in. I hate scratches and do everything in my power to prevent them.
All that said, anyone else in my boat? Got a scratch you can't explain? My whole point here is that if this is really Gorilla Glass, I shouldn't have any scratches let alone THREE! Certainly not from keys. I'm really bummed about this. The fact that I don't know why makes it worse LOL. I'm gonna see if ghost armor will hide it I guess.
So if anyone is listening, get a screen protector. I'm regretting not getting one big time
gorilla glass is very tough but not impervious. keys will still scratch it.
Sand is extremly hard and even 1 grain will make a mess.

Just noticed a very small scratch on mine tonight. I thought it was dust under the screen but you can definitely feel it when you run a finger nail across it. No idea how it got there. It's either in my hands or in a microfiber lined leather pouch. Time for a screen protector.

I've got a hairline scratch on mine that can only be seen under strong halogen lights or fluorescent lights, under normal lights or daylight it just isn't there, so maybe people have more scratches than they realise.
The annoying thing was, it scratched by my wiping the fingerprints off with a microfibre cloth. I was cleaning it under the halogen light so saw it happen. Must have been a speck of dirt or something on the cloth.
At least it doesn't show up 99% of the time so I'm not too bothered about it
So what's the best way of wiping off those fingerprints, if microfibre cloths can actually scratch it?
Let me quote my comment from the previous thread about gorrila glass screens...
"I just love how people on this board are so utterly misinformed. The problem is people believe it is indestructible. You can and will scratch your gorilla screen if you don't properly protect it. Anyone who believes otherwise deserves to have their **** scratched."
Harsh I know, but some people really do think gorilla glass can't be 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.

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
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

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.

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.

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.

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?).

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

Exactly, all these videos of people dropping coins/keys on the phone are pointless. swipe over that phone just once with sand paper and its all over...

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?
