I've left the original screen protector on my phone but now its pretty badly scratched up and looks just kind of icky. Anybody removed it and just using a naked screen? I know its gorilla glass so I'm not worried. I carried my Incredible around without screen protector for a year and it was perfect. Any thoughts before I Yank this thing of for good?

Gorilla glass CAN be scratched. I kept seeing all these clips of people scratching at their screens with various pieces of metal which doesn't seem to do it. But a lot of people have reported that sand or stones can and do scratch it.
why run the risk? I just took mine off yesterday because I received a screen protector in the mail. Had it on since I got it on 4/20. Leaves a sticky residue that is easily wiped off.
Just took mine off, rocking the glass all the way.

I used the stock cover for a few days and bought the Tmobile cover, which is crap and in my opinion worse than the stock cover. Just got the whole phone covered in Ghost Armor at the mall (no messy self-installation ftw), and couldn't be happier. Feels like the stock glass, but with better protection and lifetime warranty.
The reviews showing keys scratching against the glass are bogus. Glass is a mineral and keys are metal. Metal will not scratch glass, only a mineral. So you're safe from your keys but not from dropping it on a rock or gravel.
Get a cover.

I no longer use screen protector on my phones. I like the feeling and look of the glass much better. I got a very small scratch on mines after going to the beach so I can confirm that sand is able to scratch it. But this scratch is so small that it's only visible with the screen off and holding it at certain angles, even then you need to really look for it.
Why do we make such big deals about scratches anyway? You should see all the scratches on my Palm Pre (plastic screen easily scratched), yet when the screen is on, you can't even see them.

Took my screen protector off. The screen feels amazing and more responsive. I will just keep it protected near sand.

I kept the stock "screen protector" on for a few days until I got a real protector. I immediately put a Skinomi screen protector (only $8 with free shipping on Amazon). It retains about 90% of the smooth glassy feel and the screen is still extremely responsive. I highly recommend these. You can get it here
Rocking the naked glass baby! I'd use a case but then I'd have to take it off for the car mount. Forget it, why hide these pretty eyes?
i running zagg screen protector and the screen doesnt seem as responsive...mainly when text and trying to hit the space bar...wasnt like that with a naked screen...never had that issue before and always use zagg
rocking it wabi sabi style
I will keep using the one that came with the phone until it no longer looks as clear as it does when I bought it. It has held up quite well. However, with the G2x's reliability I might not have the phone long enough for it to matter.
I took the original protector off and have been running with the glass only, no drops, keeping it away from things that might or might not scratch it.
If I look at the screen at an angle in sunlight I can see two hairline scratches which don't show up otherwise, so I'm happy
Zagg invisashield on whole phone. Had to adjust my pressure a bit afer I first put it on but its not the end of the world.
I've no confidence in gorilla glass anymore after my friend accidentally dropped his atrix off his nightstand and the screen shattered after a height of 3-4ft.

I've had my Infuse for 4-5 days and really love the design and all the cool stuff here on xda (as usual). Does Gorilla Glass mean that I don't need a screen protector? I've never been a fan of them. Also, I'm pretty gentle with my phones and would like to keep the stock look with no outer case. What do you guys think, am I flirting with disaster?
EDIT: bought a case-mate pop case in white/gray. Very happy with case and still no screen protector.

The glass is extremely hard. There are videos of people online taking razor blades to it. The plastic on the outside, however, will be more prone to scratches. It's really up to you, but I've had mine for a few weeks, and there are no visible signs of use. I don't baby my phones, but I also am not too tough on them.
There's my 2ยข. I hope it helps.
I like using my phone naked because I haven't found any screen protectors that I really like yet, and I like the device without a case. That being said, I bought the moshi screen protector and casemate pop case, mostly for when I am going to be somewhere or doing something that could put my phone in danger...like when I'm drinking and prone to dropping my phone haha. Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof, so it's a good idea to have a screen protector in some situations.
The moshi screen protector is a tad expensive, but I think it's totally worth it for high risk situations. You can take it off and reuse it as many times as you want, and it's really easy to do so. That allows me to put it on quick when I need it, and take it off when I know it's safe. I don't like using it day to day because I love the screen on this phone, and the matte finish on the moshi makes it a bit pixilated. However, it's a life saver in many situations, and I can stand it being on there for the peace of mind while I'm doing something that requires it.
And it's always a good idea to have a case on hand just for rugged situations, and I find the pop to be very nice. It provides a ton of protection in not so huge of a package. While it's not as rugged as an otterbox or ballistic case, my phone has taken quite a few spills from 4+ feet off the ground in my case, and it still fits in my pockets just fine. Another good case that I would recommend is the body glove mirage case. It's a rubbery tpu case that is very pocketable and also provides a lot of protection. All of the accessories I've mentioned can be found at At&t stores, but you can find them cheaper elsewhere, as they mark them up a bit.
Hope I helped!

We must have different glass or something for our screens. I took a razorblade to my old nexus one which was sporting gorilla glass, and there was no visible sign that anything had even happened to it. There are also videos of people online going absolutely nuts on their screens with the same results.

just need something harder than gorilla glass to scratch it. a diamond or maybe some other jewels will easily scratch as well as concrete and maybe some hard steels. keys or gold aren't likely to scratch but some key rings are made from a hard spring steel and might scrach. there is also a coating of some type on the glass that may show scratches.
the plastic definately needs protection. it is break resistant but it is way soft and the lame shiny coating can scratch off.
Scratched my screen with something. Always in its own pocket. Get a screen protector.
From XDA App on Infused v2.1.0 OCed to 1.6 GHz
For myself I don't use a screen protector (had the phone since it came out). The Infuse's screen behaves just like my ole iphone4, if not better.
As others have said, the side chrome plastic will scratch easily so a case is warranted.
I actually have never dropped my phone or anything and I have two micro scratches. Samsung is willing to fix it for free the problem is you have to send them the phone and be without one for 7 days.
I work in construction, I use the Ballistics case and a screen protector on the phone, I dropped it from 10ft off a ladder onto concrete, no damage to phone or case. Best money I ever spent
No screen protector or case on my Infuse, and it's been that way since I bought it two months ago. I have one tiny, tiny scratch on the far left side of the front, but it's so far over that it isn't actually on the screen. I have no idea how it got there, I think there must have been a tiny rock or something in my pocket at one point the scratched it. Who knows. My phone has unfortunately been dropped maybe 5 times, and this never caused any damage. I think your phone will be just fine naked.
I decided to get the Case-Mate Pop case. It makes my phone look like a stormtrooper! Still no screen protector tho.

Hi guys im debating weather to put a screen protector on this baby or not, just got her yesterday. Has anyone experienced scratches? Also would someone recommend a good screen protector other than Zagg or invisishield. I'm done with those types. Also I got a casemate today but it kinda sucks, gonna return it tomorrow. Any recommendations on cases? Thanks.
I've heard from a few people on here that they've experienced scratches. I think if you are really careful you can get away with it. Some of the better cases have a lip which will protect it from falling flat on the screen.

So I recently got my MT4GS and I was wondering if there were any suggestions for screen protectors. I used Skinomi before on my G2 and that was pretty good. But I'm open to suggestions, in paticular this was one for the iPhone but anyone know any protectors with like a matte type feel to it? If that makes sense.

I had a Realook myTouch4G screen protector, but I had to cut it a slight bit to get it to fit - it's a few MM too big on the sides. It worked well, but I determined I don't need one.
I'm using the MyTouch 4G (Glacier) ones from T-Mobile..
they're not cut to fit the exact screen, but rather a small section (found this unusual), but they stick, and they stick good, plus they reduce glare and such..
$17 for 2, but it's worth it..
by the way, steer clear of those $5 for 8 screen protectors or whatever on amazon, they feel like they're made from cellophane and fall off almost instantly in my pocket.

best ones i have found. first one on and still going strong, clean and clear and easy to use, cut perfect.
Those are the ones I was talking about, boy do they suck...
I like their design however, but the material feels like the wrapper of a fruit roll-up, and they peel off easily and scratch easily...

I bought these because I figured I'd start cheap, and if I didn't like them, I'd get something else:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005B0JW6C/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
I put one on two days ago. They're cut very well to fit, but they're hard to apply. Lots of bubbles, and one edge doesn't stick well.
I figured I'd give it a couple days, then try again with another, since I have five of them. Maybe I screwed up.
But after using it for a couple days, I don't think I will. It feels too... rubbery. It adds resistance when you slide your finger across the screen and I don't like it.
My HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T branded Touch Pro 2) actually came with a screen protector that was easy to apply, had no bubbles, left no residue and lasted almost two years before one corner began to peel. I was not gentle with this phone either.
If I could find the same kind of protector the Tilt 2 had, I'd buy it in a second, but it was just in the box with the phone. No idea if it was provided by AT&T, or HTC, nor who made it.
In my experience, bubbles are almost always caused by dust and lint in between the screen and protector. You can help prevent this by installing the protector on the screen after a hot shower, while the mirror is still foggy.

Lint solution
Slightly off topic, but ...
If you apply the protector, and find that it has bubbles, because of lint, just pull the protector off and use a piece of scotch tape on the protector (sticky side to sticky side) and it will pull off the lint and dust. I've had great success with this in the past.
I've tried a couple of different brands and after using them both a couple of weeks each, I decided to do without. I do believe we have "gorilla glass" so I'm not really worried about scratches and such. Both protectors I tried felt odd and they both scratched extremely easily and they gave the screen a "fuzzy" appearance that I just didn't care for.
Yeah, a couple days after my last post, the screen protector came off. The bubbles definitely were not from lint, the factory plastic was still on the screen until I put the protector on. Maybe just poor quality?
Either way, now that I know the phone has Gorilla Glass, I'm not concerned.

I just got a MT4GS and I will try a new screen protector. On my last phone I used a protector from bestskinsever.com and it was good. It did the job and lasted a long time (over a year and a half before getting some junk under the edge of one corner...but it still didn't peel up and I kept using it for months until I got this phone). The only complaint is a bit of "orange peel" texture on it. My research has led me to bodyguardz.com and phantomskinz.com. People claim these two have less orange peel than the bse skins. I would say the bse is 8/10. I will try one of these 2 and report back.
As I said before, the screen protectors T-Mobile sell are actually pretty good.

I have the UltraTough Clear ScreenGuardz (Dry Apply) from bodyguardz. It is great. I can't even tell it is on there. Zero bubbles and zero orange peel. I even pulled it off after I put it on the first time because it was misaligned.
It had a couple big bubbles I couldn't squegee out, but they went away in a couple of days.
Anyone can recommend any good screen protectors at a good price? I don't mind paying extra for good quality. The verizon ones blow. Makes the screen look VERY pixelated. Trying to avoid purchasing a screen protecter like that.

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.

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.
Hullo,
I just ordered my Nexus 4 :victory:and I'm wondering if I will need a screen protector for it, or if I should be safe.
Currently, I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G (NOT S4) and the glass on it (Gorilla Glass, I believe?) is perfect. I have not gotten a single scratch on it without a protector of any kind, and I work in a machine shop with metal chips and dust all over the place. My old Galaxy SII got scratched before I even brought it to work, however, so I know some of these are super fragile.
I'd love to know peoples' opinions on the matter because I don't like putting a protector on if I don't have to!
Well I have had my phone about 7 months with just a bumper on and both the body and screen like its brand new
Saying that I work in an office, so its less likely to get as scratched as your place of work!
Not necessary but highly suggested. Why risk it? Small scratches won't affect usability but will affect resale value.

I usually just throw on a clear screen protector, SGP is only brand I buy for screen protectors now.
Highly recommended.
At first I thought only 1 screen protector would suffice, but when I went out a lot and stuff just came in to my pocket like sand, dirt, etc, my screen got scratched (because of the sand, went to the beach), so I removed it, thank god the scratch is only on the screen protector. Now I bought 3. When I remove my screen protector, my N4 looks like it's brand new.
I agree with ibarra .. Buy it to be safe

Every phone needs a protector and the rear needs one too to avert future damage or collisions with surfaces. Resale value is better maintained in pristine condition, this is why I hate seeing used devices looking as if they just returned from war.

for a couple of bucks you protect the screen on the $300+ device .Absolutely, yes, sir.
Not worth it if you're a very safe person. Theres gorilla glass for a reason, but if you're not a careful person.... sure why not.
Mine has been naked since December and the glass is fine. I do have a dent in my bezel, but I fell asleep with the phone in my hand and it dropped. A bumper would have prevented that, but no issues with the glass even with the drop.

If you have ever kept them with other things in your pocket, etc, then yes, it is highly recommended. If you have ever dropped any of you phones, then get a bumper or full body case as well.
I always use screen protectors and cases and I highly recommend others to do the same. It isn't worth scratching or damaging your phone in any way. Better safe than sorry, and honestly, any cheap old screen protector will do.
keep factory screen protector for the back or buy a case, the front is fine if u take care of your phone and not put it in the same pocket as ys and everything else
Nope. Ruins the feel of the device honestly.
