What method did you use? How did it turn out? Please describe in your post!
You can use and exacto knife. Just use the original protector that came with the phone. Put it on top of the screen protectornamd trace around the cut fornthe proximity sensor.

I lost my original protector when pulling the phone out of my pocket. I was somewhere dark so I couldn't find it
Hole puncher?

same thing happened to me.
Very strange, I installed wet apply Xtreme Guard skins on my phone and my gfs. My proximity sensor works no problem. Hers didn't work... I just cut the corner off and I'm gonna apply another.

Might help with people where to cut. Just put it the protector over the screen and make a small mark, then just use a hole punch or whatever.

Do you guys know if the lens protrudes past the camera bezel exposing it to surfaces or is it slightly recessed? It's hard to tell from pictures.
Thanks!

It is slightly recessed.
Awesome! So that essentially means when you rest it on a flat surface, the glass won't scratch.
Good to know, thanks!
The unit I saw in AT&T looked like it was completely flush with the ring.

It looks like it is flush but it's not. I'm looking at mine right now and can tell that it is recessed. Not by much at all, but it definitely isn't flush with the ring.
It is recessed. Barely.

Did you make some sort of cradle?

No... It is sitting on the pad. I mounted the pad on a RAM mount diamond plate using 3M double sided adhesive tape. I then used some low compression, rubber weather stripping to form the "U" to cradle the phone. Fits like a glove and works perfect.
Total cost... 3 bucks (I already had the RAM hardware), a trip to Home Depot, and about a half hour of my time.
Looking at the pic, it's hard to tell if the power button is covered or not. If not, it looks good. Just get a nfc tag and setup everything. If it is, wouldn't it be more of a pain to get access for waking the phone up?
Just curious but excellent innovation.

The "U" comes up to just 1/4 inch below the power button, and that same clearance for the volume rocker.
I actually use a Tasker location profile so no nfc tag necessary.
Took it for its first extended test drive yesterday and it works well. Phone is very secure, and easily removed and replaced with one hand.
The title says it all my lil dog stepped on my scratch leaving a scratch, minor but when screen is off is notable. Any clue?

There's a display polish out there you can try, I used it on a "dumb phone" back in the days with great results (and a bit of work).
http://www.amazon.com/Displex-Display-Scratch-Remover-screens/dp/B00355WCWG was the one I used. And of course, use at your own risk since wrong handling might make it worse.

You could try a screen protector but the damage is done and I would never try to polish it because there is a coating on the glass and this may happen

The damage is done, I would just accept the scratch and move on. I've never seen anyone with luck getting scratches out without the screen looking worse overall. Get a screen protector and use it. Protectors aren't a perfect solution, but as they get scratched, you can easily replace them. I actually found I like the feeling of the one on my Note. It gives just enough friction to simulate drawing on paper.
Hey guys, just got an international SM-G920I in sweet platinium gold.
I would like to check if anyone of you guys noticed the following imperfections as pictured.
I noticed some bubbles /a few dots /imperfections when looking at the reflection of the chrome like gold under light.
Update mine is mostly notable on the top left hand corner of the screen and would appreciate if you guys are able to check possibly and reply back to this thread.
P.s. I checked other demo sets and all of them has this to varying degrees, and it is not from the tempered glass that i have pasted on.
Pictures.

Are you certain that the screen protector you are using isn't the source of what you're seeing?

Nope, I removed the screen protector and found these dimple / goose pimple like dots on the screen.
Also, if I were to shine light near to the capacitive buttons and home button I can see a string of numbers reflected off the gorilla glass surface.
I think it's the coating from the paint
Just received the tempered glass one in the mail. I opened the package and saw this

Help me understand ?
Edit: think twice about get this one. I was about to install but noticed that it covers up the front camera. I never use the front camera, but still.

yeah mine does too, but honestly, dont see a difference in quality for the cam pics
It's only an issue around the flash since it absorbs some light, and since there's no flash on the front, it doesn't matter. Mine's covering the camera too, no issue at all. I do have a hole for the lightsensor though.
"Edit: think twice about get this one. I was about to install but noticed that it covers up the front camera. I never use the front camera, but still. " Then why cry about it? Most the of the time its just glass so it aint a big problem that its over the lens anyways. But you can get good one's on ebay with the right holes for 3 bucks.
