Hi Guys
I ordered this phone yesterday and now I'm actually just waiting to receive it.
I think the phone seems awesome at its price, although I was close at buying a brand new replacement LG O2x for only 66% of the price of Galaxy R.
I'm still a little in doubt if I will keep the phone or not, mainly due to the fear of a screen which is easily scratched. Most other phones out there uses Corning Gorilla Glass, but Galaxy R only uses "scratch-resistant" glass.
Also the new announcements at Mobile World Conference have my interest, e.g. to have a smaller-in-the-pocket phone with similar or better resolution.
What are you experiences so far? Have you made minor surface scratches or is the screen actually quite sturdy?
I would prefer not to use a screen protector.
Best regards, Martin / mhca
The screen glass is pretty sturdy and is actually scratch resistant.
But it would be recommended for heavy users that applying a scratch guard would be better and you can have a peace of mind as you would have to care less about scratches.
About better handsets available in the future only time will tell. But one thing wont change, that is Nvidia's huge efforts to bring game developers to support Tegra devices which will have very few parallels in the Android handsets market.
Till then tuned !
yep SGR has less sturdy scratch resistant glass.. I would prefers gorilla glass.. but sometime it is overrated too lol!...
so my phone already got a tiny scratch after 4th day bought it.. hehe..
I put it inside my pocket together with few coins...

Exactly what I'm worried about. I would never keep the phone in my pocket together with coins.
However, sometimes I toss it somewhere lying together with other stuff, e.g. when passing through airport security.
I'll make up my mind soon.
I'm still very interested to hear more comments from users with experiences.
I used my phone without screen protector for one week after I had bought it. I must mention that I was kinda a cautious and never put coins, keys and mobile to the same pocket. I haven't had any single scratch.
I use a silicon case and plus a hard plastic pouch case when I'm carrying it on my pocket. Not even a single scratch

yeah that was silly of me.. putting the phone in the pocket with coins.. I was rushing with my hand fulls with stuffs..
but the wierd thing was.. I had my HTC Legend once..(Gorilla glass and no Screen Protector) and my Legend did not have any scratches at all for few months..
my bro also using his Galaxy S for a year without any scratches. He does put his phone anywhere though..
still.. Gorilla Glass "a bit" better than normal scratch resistant glass..

I think it would be a bad decision to choose the LG 2X.
About the screen of SGR... I don't have any scratches yet and don't read in other forums that people complain of this issue.
You can find lots of people with Gorilla Glass phones who have scratches and break completely in a normal drop from the hands.
I would buy the SGR definetely.
I'm a user of sgr for about a month now.I use silicon case at home and stock leather case when going out for showing of the beauty of sgr.

And...? Have you got any scratches or not?
Me and my wife using it heavily but carry it inside the original pouch or my wife in S2 pouch which completely protects the phone when kept inside a women's purse!
I hate using screen protector and not even using a case, still the phone is entirely scratch-less all around (not just the screen). If you are reasonably careful, I am sure it can last like my S1 or S2 which are scratch-less forever.
the screen is very good with scratch
i dropped it from waist height on the concrete and nothing happend to the screen - i use screen protector though.
i'm starting to doubt they tricked us - that R actually has a gorilla glass
Samsung has already tricked for UTG feature...
Also there can be hidden NFC, MHL output...and now gorrilla....
i cant digest it...!!

Sgr doesnt have nfc compatibality and also dont have gorilla glass, if u wanna test remove your screen guard and just swipe a coin over your screen u will get a beutifull scratch.

Amazing replies given here
But wait, how come ur getting a Galaxy R now?? I was under the impression that SGR was permanently discontinued! U better check the phone and its contents carefully before using it dude.
I use a capdase soft case and a gloss screen protector - no scratches till now. Although I must say my left pocket is reserved for my phone only and nothing else - no coins especially!

Uh, dude the OP is from February.
I have CGG on my moto xt720 and i have had few scratches when kept in pocket with keybunch and coins..!! That was after 1-2 months. Then i realised i should always put a screen guard (not the privacy guard which interferes the touch sensitivity) on any smartphone whatsoever..!
Now, on the day i bought my SGR, i put a screen guard and with a fake capdase back cover, its super safe and no visible scratches .. even after 5 months..

***Facepalm***
I use a screen protector since the first day, and when the protector is scratched, I only have to replace this, another thing is that with time, screen protector makes work bad the screen, it turns crazy. Then, I must replace the protector.

Yes, the Galaxy Note 10.1 does use Gorilla Glass. I can't post any links so I've PM'ed you some links that you can look at.
In this article from Phonearea they mention that the Note 10.1 have Gorilla Glass.
I'm not sure that article can be trusted and, as you mention, there are no official statements that the Note 10.1 in face have Gorilla Glass (well, I can't find such a statement anyway).
I thought it was gorilla glass 2? or was that the Note II that has it?

Thank you, i have look at the sites before, and also a lot of review and sites around the world stated that Galaxy Note 10.1 use gorilla glass but i just couldn't believe it yet, i have email Samsung Customer Support @ indonesia and the Customer Service Officer told me That Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn't have gorilla glass, but as we know it, a statement from CSO is often wrong and hardly to believe
Galaxy Note 10.1 is one of the high end product from samsung, it's have high specification and also quite expensive so it's hard to believe that samsung doesn't use gorilla glass on it, samsung use gorilla glass on galaxy ace who is much cheaper that galaxy note 10.1 so why not on galaxy note 10.1 ?
Unfortunately it is scratched after 4 days of use AT HOME, no dropping, original s pen only, no other hard materials touch the screen. FML!

One of the primary ways people scratch their tablets is letting stapled papers rest on top of it. When you drag the paper off the staple scratches.
Never leave anything sitting on the screen.

I love how easy the screen is to clean. A quick wipe on the pant leg and screen is crystal clear. No smearies.

yup therefore I have always ensure anything like that stay away from my tablet.... but it was more like small dots rather than a line.... i hope it's not the original s pen scratching it...
Your out of your mind if you think the s-pen scratched it. Have you used a microfiber cloth and a very small amount of water or cleanser to clean it? I'm sure it is not "scratched".

did exactly what you said, it's permanent... not dirt.... could be something else i can't think of what else for its size

I hope it doesn't. The SGS3 and One X have GG2 and it's much more susceptible to fine scratches. There's tons of *****ing in their respective forums about it.

Here's a helpful (but a bit anal retentive) tip. Get some pure carnauba car wax and periodically wax your screen. It makes it much harder for debris to stick, provides a protective barrier, and makes the pen (or your finger) glide more easily across the screen. I use detailing spray to clean my screen rather than a cleaner to keep the wax from being stripped off. And yes, if the nib of the pen picks up something abrasive it'll trash your display. So keeping the nib clean is obviously a priority.
Just dont let your mom catch you waxing your screen

I put a Ghost Armor screen protector on my Note. It actually improves the stylus action, in my opinion. The stylus glides a little easier than on the bare glass.
I have no link to back it up, but while I was researching the Note I came across specs that indicated while it doesn't have "gorilla glass", it does have Samsung's own version of GG. Sorry I don't have a link to the page.

If S-pen did it, means we have to change that it is stands for 'scratcher' pen, instead of 'smart' pen.

Don't know if it's gorilla glass, but my puppy pulled mine off a table. It took about a 3 foot drop, and judging by the scratches on the back, she did some dancing on it. When I found it the display was up. But, not a scratch on the glass. I don't use a protector, bareback is best IMHO

I use my 10.1 every day, in dusty places, dropped it twice, my cats crawling over the screen .......
No single scratch !

Can you see the dots when the screen is clean and turned off? Are they uniformly placed like following a pattern or random and how many dots?
Hello friend I have a samsung tab 2 p3100 and it has deep scratch on the silver part ( I think it is said bezel or benzel like that don't know) and I want to know that it be can replaceable and from where can I buy it.
why not get an OEM case to hide it?
why not get an OEM case to hide it? I am using a Samsung Tab2 case that I bought from BrandSmartUSA, would not recommend them for anything, however they had the cases for 35, its a great case. Caution with BSUSA as they evidently get factory rejects and seconds from all over the world, didnt know this till a brand new microwave went tits up haver 100 days old.

But I want the front bezel Because it not look good. I think it can be replaceable like Galaxy s, s2 and 3 but I didn't the bezel for tab2
I think an easier way would be to just get a skin. You know, like a sticker that covers the whole bezel. You can have them printed with almost any design.
