I tried an iso alcohol swab, but that didn't do anything, then I tried Purell next and that worked great. Maybe the moisturizer or the aloe in the Purell helped? I'm not sure.

I've anything like your phone... When i've opened the box (sealed) there is no back cover protection, only in front......

I removed my sticker. And tried to trade my Nexus 4 at Cex and guy told me. I can't do it without the sticker. I was thinking to myself who keeps that on the of the phone if you have a bumper or riding naked?
Keep it safe somewhere lol

Try rubbing some goo gone on it, that stuff works wonders for adhesive residue.

I use this stuff all the time for removing adhesive gunk and it does, in fact, work great on almost everything. Just be careful, I don't know if it might affect the soft touch coating.

I don't use zagg, but I did leave the protector on that I'd been using. If you have a hard time interacting with the screen, then you may want to remove it.
Cranky...
The screen touching works but im getting a lot of bubbles. Is this because of my current screen protector.

Probably. Looks like there's moisture in between the two. Take it apart and clean the two. But make sure that they're both dry before putting it back together.

Find what on their own? If you're talking about the Ballistic case, sure they can. But they could also find every other accessory on they're own.
You can use an anti-glare screen protector, which they do make for the infuse, and it should remedy the watermark/bubble issues.

Yes. I just took the screen protector off my phone and used the one on the case.
Bought a black one when I bought my Infuse 4G for about $50
Love it they makes good cases
I've had the black one since launch day, verry sturdy you can use it with or without the silicone skin.
Glad I bought it.

Back when I had my G1 a very similar thing happened to it. I just threw it down on my bunk in the barracks one day and it went *CRACK*. Can't have been 10 inches of a fall, it just decided the bunk was too hard I guess.

I currently have a single hairline crack starting at the top, just to the left of where the speaker is, curving down and to the right side of the chassis. I'll be getting it repaired soon. Dropped it about 2-3 feet onto concrete. Still works just fine.

Damn dude, I don't know what I'd do if that happened to me! Well, I doubt it would, I have a Trident Aegis Case on mine.
My G2x fell about 3 feet onto tile yesterday and the glass is cracked something terrible. Will post a picture when I get back from vacation.
Hopefully I can get a similar repair deal from LG.
mine didn't quite look as bad as that pic, but was pretty bad. It still worked just fine, I could feel the cracks in it when moving my finger over the glass. Just call LG, they quoted a price between $40-$100, gave me a confirmation number. I mailed it in, then got an email with the total amount due for a repair. Called and paid over the phone, got my phone back about 5 days later...pretty easy..
Definately wasn't happy when it happened, actually felt sick to my stomach
Mine survived a swim in the pool. In fact it stopped randomly rebooting after that. Now it runs great.

Gorilla Glass 3

I keep cracking my screens. Will Gorilla Glass 3 be able to withstand my abuse?
Depends on whether you plan on hammering nails in with an s4 too
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I hate to ask what are you doing to your screens that they keep breaking?
Gorilla Glass 3 will still be glass and if you are excessively abusive, the glass will break.

Doubt the 3rd generation glass will offer any major shatter-proof features over the original GG. New technology does not balance out user error.

As fantastic as Samsung phones are, this thing isn't winning any beauty contests. Outside of the screen, it's plastic. EVERYWHERE. There are some pretty slim cases out there, just take a stroll through the "accessories" sub-forum.
Your options are:
1. Case
2. Insurance (ripoff)
3. Spending your weekends/afternoons on iFixit taking untold years off of your life installing what you hope to be a working screen from what you hope was a legit parts retailer
4. Getting extremely friendly with the customer service reps (read: hand jobs)
5. None of the above, just post on XDA each time you break your phone so you magically get a new one (works surprisingly well)

We have one of those blenders at home and it will blend anything you put into it. The thing is a monster.
Except that nokia.
I'm going to keep using screen protectors until screens become scratch-proof.

My Sapphire glass watch was still crackable.
Glass is glass. Doesn't matter if it has gorilla or elephant or bear stamped before it. If you drop it hard enough, it will break. So either get a case, try to be less clumsy, or live with the risk of it breaking.

It most likely got scratched on my zipper from my coat when reaching for my inner chest pocket. Which sucks if it's that gentle I have used tooth paste in my watches before not sure if it will work.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I've got a scratch on mine as well, that's a bit worse than that. I've got no idea how it got on there.
I haven't used mine since it got scratched. I tried to buff it out with toothpaste but it only helped a little bit.
I need to try some other things, although it might just be too deep.
Screen protectors on a smartwatch are much more essential than on a smartphone, as it's really likely to scratch, even more than a normal watch glass.
