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.

Well at least they are on the screen protector! I hope?

Anyone not running a screen protector?

I jus took off my zag hd bc it felt so damn grippy. And I must say I'm kinda falling in love with this phone all over again. Feels so much more responsive. Someone reassure me that it's ok to go protector less. I have 2 cases to kinda protect it.

I don't use one either...keep it in my pocket most of the day with absolutely zero scratches.

USE A SCREEN PROTECTOR!! GORILLA GLASS OR NOT. you'll be sorry when it finally does scratch. dont use zagg i took mine off and used a cheapo ebay one works perfect

I used one with my iPhone 3G and never really liked the rubbery feel. When I got my iPhone 4, I couldn't bear to put anything on that screen. I felt the same way with my HOX. The screen is just too damn nice to cover up with anything. I'm getting some microscratches but they are only visible in direct sunlight, so it doesn't bother me much.

Get a protector. Mine scratched (had it for a month). It wasn't major but keys and phone in same pocket dont go well. Even if you try to avoid it.. eventually it will happen. Small light scratches

This is a good point. If you're going bareback, you need to be more careful. My HOX gets a pocket to itself--nothing else goes in there.

No protector since day-one, little hairlines are all over the screen. They're so innocuous that it has to be off and in the sunlight for me to see, but they're there, and I'm pretty sure it's only going to get worse over the next 8+ months I that I'll have the phone before moving on.
I'm very, VERY picky about scuffs and whatnot, I carry this thing by itself in my pockets and never place it face down, I can only assume the screen has something against expensive dress-slack pockets.
My Evo 4G and Evo 3D both went a year in the same conditions with absolutely none of these little hairline scuffs, and that's the only part about it that really gets me. My Evo 4G screen actually cracked (dropped a PSP on it from only about a foot, but the metal corner hit and it was toast) and I replaced it myself with an OEM screen (fingers were crossed) and even that screen never saw a single scuff mark.
I'm getting one of those full-body clear application things. We'll see how that goes.

*insert obligatory "this has been talked about" post*
Now that it's out of the way. It's seriously a YMMV thing. Absolutely no scratches on my HOX. And absolutely no scratches on my old Skyrocket.

Sporting the otterbox defender with no screen protector and always in clip when not in use.

No screen protector, no case. I HATE screen protectors, they completely ruin the feel of the screen.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I don't like cases or screen protectors. They ruin the look and feel of the phone. Cases make it fat, no matter how thin they are. Screen protectors ruin the smooth slick feel of the screen, and remove some visual quality, no matter how good the protector is.
Same with my old Sensation, no protector, but it wasn't scratched.
All it takes is common sense. Don't put the phone in the same pocket as your keys etc...

I never put my phone in my pocket. I use a side pouch.

Somewhere between loving our phones as much as we do, and keeping them immaculate is a magical place where we can just use and enjoy them.
I can't imagine this phone with a screen protector. But I am running a Case-Mate Smooth, which I can't recommend highly enough!

Mine got a very deep scratch after 2 days. Its about a 1/4" long, and looks horrible. I was very carefull with my phone but I must have had a piece of sand in my pocket. Now that it's too late, I purchased a zagg shied.

I didn't use one on my captivate, and didn't have any issues thanks to a case that kept the glass off surfaces. I've got the same thing with this, plus gorilla glass. I'm sure it'll be fine if you're not completely reckless!

I think that some people buy the wrong screen protectors. I can't even tell mine is there and it actually makes it easier for my finger to slide across the screen.
Plus there's always a risk of getting a scratch when you least expect it, like from a wallet...

How durable is the HOX screen..? I have 3 scratches already...

I do not understand how these scratches came about, never keep keys in my pocket. Just normal usage (in and out of pockets and resting on table). My iPhone took a lot more abuse than this HOX yet there is so much more damage to my screen for the HOX.
Anyone else noticed this problem?

Keys won't scratch it. Sand and other hard, gritty things that reside in pockets will. It's not a problem, it's glass. Normal glass is hard to scratch, ours is even harder. If your screen got scratched, it was because something very hard (like sand) came in contact with it.

I've been using mine since launch without any kind of screen protector (or case) and have yet to get a scratch on the screen *knocks on wood*

Honestly, if your screen was scratched 99% of the time it was due to sand in your pocket.

Actually......ive had like 4 one x devices, they all held up just fine. Except one replacement i recieved, which by the way was used!!! Insurance claim! It came with about 30 little scratches on the screen! I sent it back, and they sent me a brand new, in the original box, scratch free one x!!! anyways......my suggestion.....get a zagg! I finally gave in and bought one. I figured with the gorrilla glass i wouldnt need 1! But after seeing, and hearing stories, i finally gave in and got it! And im glad i did! I got the hd, and its badass! Cant even tell its there! So long story short, get a zagg. Lol.

I have two of these phones - one has developed small scratches a little too easy for my liking. Anyhow, thanks for this info, will try the Zagg, had not heard of them cheers :good:

I don't use screen protectors or cases. I've got a couple of hairline scratches that are only visible when the screen is off and it's held under the light at a certain angle. And that's after I dropped it onto the road and it slid across the road screen side down. Gorilla glass did it's job. If you look after it, it won't get scratched.

I swear that HTC phones scratch by just looking at them. I had an inpire 4g and in 2 weeks with careful use a scratch about 1/2" long that you could hang your fingernail on just showed up on the screen. I was pissed. After that I got the Samsung infuse and used it with no screen protector and never got a scratch. After the infuse I got the gs2, never a scratch. I used the international galaxy note, never a scratch. Then comes the HOX and after 2 days of using this phone it gets 2 scratches, one an inch long and the other 1/2" long, both you could hang your fingernail on. I took it back for other reasons and got the unlocked gs2 from negri, used it for a month never a scratch. I bricked that phone by flashing an ICS leak and decided to give the HOX another try because I really like sense and the way the phone looks. After babying my HOX for maybe 3 days I go to bed not noticing any scratches, pick up my phone to check xda, and I see the rainbow effect of a deep scratch. I turn on the light and sure enough there is a scratch you can hang your fingernail on. The next day I bought the zagg hd shield and it hides the scratch good enough for me but it still pisses me off that HTC phones scratch so easily. The HOX is still my favorite phone to date, even with the scratched up screen.

If what your saying is true, I'd say you just had some back luck. The One X I own doesn't have a single scratch (on the screen) and I've dropped it on cement, bathroom tiles, and some other stuff without any kind of case.

Well if wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all.

Should answer all your questions related to how durable the screen is lol.

I've somehow managed to get a couple very minor scratches in mine. Not sure what from exactly but they are the kind that you have to tilt the phone so that the light reflects just the right way while the screen is off to be able to see them. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have invested in a screen protector but in all honesty it isn't that big of a deal. Aside from those extremely minor blemishes, the screen has held up very well against drops and normal wear.

For anyone that doesnt know about zagg already.........they cost around 25 bucks for the hd, and its well worth the money! I swear on everything, its just like looking at the screen without it. And the best part.........its guarenteed for life!!!!!!! Anything happens, or you get a replacement......its like 3 bucks for shipping. I suggest anyone with an expensive device get one. Gorrilla glass or not. Just saying.

I'm notorious for scratching my phone screens, but not a single scratch on my HOX since I got it in May. I don't use a screen protector, just a soft plastic case on the body. The dang thing has been dropped, put in my pocket with my keys, even had the new pup grab it... Nothing, so I'm very pleased.

Seems like the OP answered their own question, since if they have 3 scratches already, I think they already know how durable the screen is?

My HTC One X is having the same exact problem. I have been battling between AT&T & HTC for them to replace my screen but they are both telling me that these scratches are not covered because they are "physical damage". I moved to the One X from an iPhone 4 and never used a screen protecter for 2 years and I just sold the phone to Gazelle as excellent condition...the screen was flawless with no scratches. This issue only seems to be effecting a handful of users but IT IS a defect!!!
This post on Gizmodo kind of sums it up.

In my opinion, the review is BS. The phone gets occasionally warm but not that hot. I've not even once had it dial by itself in my pocket (and I keep it an average 8 hours a day in there), then the guy expects to drop the phone and leave no marks on the screen or casing, and then he ends his review with 5 hours battery life - just explain hiw can you get that with normal or even heavy use (unless you play games and don't put the phone down for like 4 hours).
Edit: and yet, he is rating the phone 4/5...

How scratch resistant is the screen on the S3?

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

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I don't use one, I did on my previous phones. I always hated the way the screen protectors felt compared to the bare glass.
The only scratches I have are from dropping my phone on the street, they are more like little nicks in the screen than
scratches. Now that I already have some, I don't think I'll put a screen protector on. I do have a screen protector that came
with my Otterbox if I feel like putting one on.
I figure that by the time I need a new phone, I'll already have a job and enough money to buy a new phone, so I don't feel like
babying this phone too much.

I've been rockin mine completely naked since release back in may.. hardly any scratches, only noticeable in a well lit area with the screen off at a certain angle. My phone went face first on the cement and slid about 7 inches, and I also dropped mine and I slid across my wood floors and still nothing.
However my buddy has deep scratches that can catch a fingernail. Someone else I know dropped his and the screen cracked from about a foot off the ground..

If you're a girl (which you may be, judging by your picture) you keep your phone in your purse. Purses are dirty and have sand/dirt in them. Sand will scratch your phone.

The way I see it is the screen protector will get scratched too, slaying the gorgeous LCD.

You should be good as long as you don't put it in your pocket with your keys or anything that can scratch it. Also, remember to lightly get most of the dust off before you wipe off finger prints. That way you won't get any small hairline scratches. If you're careful you should be good without one.

I've always preferred naked.
Having said that I've damaged a few too.
If u want to resell, use a cover for the back and a protector for the screen.
The polycarbonate backing within a few days started to show marking.
The screen has a very feint hairline scratch down the middle, but it hasn't been dropped & I'm very careful with handling it.
I'm yet to find covers or protectors that keep the phone looking good as nude, but if u want it looking good as new u wanna cover it up.

I looked up closest ghost armor retailer and had them install the clear ghost armor on the screen and the black carbon weave armor on the back.
I originally had them put a white one on the back as my X is white, but went back and they changed it to a black one for me at my request. Looks good in white an black.
Cost of two pieces installed was 20 bucks, 5 bucks if I ever need a half replaced for life of phone.

I have never used a screen protector. When I bought my One X I was talked into the Zagg protector from an AT&T employee, It wasn't bad but after it started getting hot here in AZ, I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen protector was slidin around. So I took it off. Havn't bothered to replce it and actualy like it better without.

I have always preferred naked phones.
I have never found a screen protector that doesn't make the phone less responsive or make the screen less crisp.
Looking at your phone wrong can cause the One X screen to scratch. (See the thread in the general section, or just Google One X screen scratch)
Others have recommended the Zagg HD screen protector, but I haven't tried one myself.

I don't have a case but always had a clear screen protection on my devices amd never felt a difference. I'd rather pit one on then having to look at a deep scratch every time I look at the screen, that's thousand times more annoying to me.
