should I just get the screen protector from AT&T store?
Go naked, All the cool kids are doing it.....
i bought the iVisor from the store. works great on fingerprints & glare, but kinda dulls the screen. definite loss of clarity.
took it off at lunch today w/ the plan to return it...
then put it back on, and don't mind it as much.
dunno.
I got it and I can definitely agree with argylesocks on the clarity issue. To me though, losing a bit of clarity in favor of anti-glare doesn't bother me so I'd recommend that if you don't mind losing a little bit of clarity then grab the one from the ATT store.
i got the ivisor after i ntices a micro scratch on my screen. garilla glass is hard to scratch but i work around stuff that can cut hardened tool steel. occasionally something winds up in my pocket.
the ivisor is one of the better antiglare protectors i have seen but in general antiglare will effect the screen image. well it is a trade off. some can deal with it and some cant. there are many that are worse than this one. i would recomend it to anyone that wants a anti glare protector.

that dont mean it cant be scratched. i never scratched my captivate and i had it since august, but i did get a micro scratch on the infuse already, just got unlucky. it is barely visable but i know it is there. garilla glass vs hss and carbide doesnt help much. most people wont need a protector though
I went ahead and got the screen protector they had at at&t when I get my Infuse, in fact it was given to me free of charge because I switched from T-Mobile. I was going to get the invisible shield but this was much more convenient and free. And besides, I just like that piece of mind that I know my screen won't get scratched even though it has gorilla glass.

I got the att branded (case-mate) screen protector and hate it. It's matte surface and just looks terrible, takes away from the beauty of the screen. I'm going out to BB and another att store later to see if I can find any glossy screen protectors, otherwise I'm just gonna take this thing off.

Just got the one from ATT and its a WRITERITE. Will post after i install.
I picked up the Zagg from BB tonight. Never tried Zagg before, some people love them while others hate it, so we shall see...
Well the WRITERITE is not bad at all.. still have a lil glare but can still see fine out side. This was bought at ATT at walmart.

My wife helped me to discover that gorilla glass does crack. Four hours after buying the Infuse, she dropped it on a corner and sent several, nice cracks through the screen. At this point in life, does anyone know if screen replacements are available yet?
Thanks a heap in advance!

As far as I know, Gorilla Glass is actually more brittle than regular glass and is easier to crack.. It's just more scratch resistant.

not true. it may crack with some stress risers(scratches in particular areas) but it is difficult to crack, though im sure some forms of plastic are more crack resistant.
it may be hard and you may think that makes it brittle but it actually has a huge amount of give before it breaks.

if you break it you might just be unlucky
I'm using the iVisor screen protector, mostly to help my fingers glide over the touchscreen surface smoothly. It works well for that purpose and doesn't dull the image too much. Fingerprints are far less noticeable too. Dust does get trapped at the edges of the screen protector though. Still, it's worth using IMO.

I just put a Skinomi on mine a few days ago. Not just for the scratch protection, but this stuff resists finger prints and other dirt real well.
I find myself cleaning my screen a lot less with it on than before.

the soft screen protectors like skinomi and invisishield are great. we put prtectors on phones so the screen doesnt scratch, what about the screen protector? the film type screen protectors are basically imposible to scratch
I bought the ghost armor screen protector. Their screen protectors are, bY far, the best in my opinion. Been having them in in all my phones.

Just pre-ordered three, like I did for my GNex. One for the phone I have now, one for the phone I have on order as a spare (after selling the GNex), and a spare protector. ABSOLUTELY LOVED the Fantom on my GNex and had no problems whatsoever.
Very interesting concept. But what kind of protection can the phone gain from this protector?
The glass front is already scratch resistant. And if the phone drop, it's likely that both of the glasses will crack as it appears that the protective glass doesn't have the adhesive layer to hold the front glass together.
looks like a promising solution. btw any suggestion for liquid contamination? anything fantom-4/xgear can do for that?
Does the glass wrap around the slightly curved glass edges?
hope they make that clear spot for the notification LED a bit larger in the final product.
How do those things adhere to the screen underneath? It's reusable so probably not glue or sticky material
anyone know if its compatible with the bumper?!

I too would like to know this. I'm unable to tell from the description and photos. However, the photos make it appear to go over the glass where it curves down and I think it'd be terrible for it to leave a gap in there!

It actually is some sort of adhesive/glue. I had one for the Galaxy S III. I'm not sure what the adhesive is but if you got it a bit dirty, you could rinse it under water and let it dry and it would be sticky again. I removed mine and reapplied it just fine. The adhesive is under the black/white parts but not in the clear areas (i.e. on the actual screen itself).

It should definitely be compatible with the bumper. I have a bumper and the bumper in no way covers the glass screen, so you should be good here.

The idea is the same as a plastic screen protector (think Zagg, etc.) but you keep the glass feel. Some people (myself included) absolutely HATE wet-apply screen protectors and most of these modern phones with curved glass can't have full-screen dry-apply screen protectors, so this is the only way to have a screen protector cover the full screen without having the tackiness/stickiness that wet-apply screen protects result in. Ultimately, if you get a big ol' scratch across your screen, you'd much rather it be on this $30 protector than your phones actual screen. So a combination of scratch-protection + the "glass feel" is why you would buy this. Or if you want to have a white Nexus 4.
If, on the other hand, you like wet-apply screen protectors, then this probably isn't worth it for you.
Is there any way to remove a small scratch on my phone screen//
The screen is scratch-resistant though
Sent from my LG-P700 using xda premium
I am sure you can take it to the local computer shop and pay them $30 to remove them if you are being annoyed by it. If you prefer not to, you can put a screen protector on to cover the scratch.
Iver hear using toothpaste (one with no "grains" can be used as well as car wax. I've use both for light scratches and some medium scratches on my phone and glasses... I dont know what else to use that works as advertised
I think toothpaste is not good idea.

Just use the toothpaste to brush your teeth n go to store to buy some anti scratch layer.
Sent from my LT26w using xda premium
Whitening toothpaste works great on glass. I would not use it on plastic though.
I had a scratch on a remote control screen - not touch screen just a LCD screen. The glass face had a small scratch, used whitening toothpaste, a damp kitchen cloth and rubbed it in for about 30 minutes. It got rid of the scratch, and it didn't effect the glass translucently around the scratch. If you tried that on plastic it'll make the scratch disappear but it'll blur the plastic around it. And for a LCD it'll effect how the pixel light through it.
So don't do it. Either replace the screen, or live with it. Always use a screen protector. Even glass can be scratched, if you have keys in your pocket metal is harder than glass, so it'll scratch.
correction screen was like old type "casio" type LCD monochome screen, not RGB pixels.

It's the other way round, even a knife (just a simple metal knife not some diamond edged sword ) won't scratch glass. Try it if you don't believe me then try it on a mirror or window or something instead of the phone (because actually the oleophobic layer could be scratched by the metal)
Grit is the worst thing, if grit/dirt/small stone particles whatever you wanna call them gets in between the metal and your glass, or just grit by itself, then it will scratch the hell out of it.

I remember it because I had a post in it.
I have had good experience using Brasso to reduce scratches on CD and DVD discs and have read about it being used to help eliminate scratches on smartphone and ipod screens as well.
I made the mistake of not buying/applying a screen protector to my phone... ONCE. Screen protectors, and at the very least a silicon protector to go around the body are the best money spent on your phone.
Toothpaste removes scratches.
You should always use those protections for the screen You dont loose sensivity, are not figerprint prone, and protect from scratches.

Gorilla Glass being scratch proof is about as real as the Jaguars winning the Superbowl this year (rimshot).
I don't know why anyone makes that claim, every person who thinks that whom I've ever met has scratches on their screen.
I've always wondered if those products that remove scratches from cars and such could be used on a cell phone screen. My thought it that it probably wouldn't work, but it might be worth a test on a Gorilla Glass device which is outdated or the like. Someone could make a lot of money on such a product though I'd imagine.
I'd never heard of toothpaste before, that's a new one.
My advice is to get a matte screen protector the day you order a device. You can get them on eBay and Amazon for like $2 or $3 for a set of 3 and they go on very nicely with no bubbles and feel really nice. And they never hamper my view of the screen. I've got one on my 720P LCD Nexus 4 screen and I really like it.

Just remember Corning Gorilla Glass is different from Scratch resistant glass. My Sony has scratch resistant glass and it does not scratch very easy. Samsung galaxy for example has gorilla glass which does scratch but is tougher to break.
Old thread but I came across it and wanted to correct some horrible information.
DO NOT USE TOOTHPASTE on your screen. Most screens now have an oleophobic layer that the toothpaste will completely decimate creating more scratches to go with whatever you have.
Want to protect your screen? Use a screen protector.
Once it's scratched it's just scratched.
so is there really a way to remove scratches on a screen?
I've been using this case: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/SEA...er-Hard-Cover-Case-For-LeEco/32856125151.html
And unfortunately all of the very-good-fit screen protectors which stretch to the edge are interfering with it. They both try to cling to the edges of the screen, which causes the screen protector to be pushed upwards and get dislodged.
Can anybody recommend something that is a better fit to this case?

I have two x727s and use the exact same case on my primary daily phone, and I have a really thin one on the other phone.
For me this is absolutely the best case, plus it actually does a great job protecting the screen, with its lip.
I also tried a screen protector. But eventually grew tired of messing with it and took it off.
At this point, I haven't had a screen protector for about a year, and believe or not, my screen still looks like new, with no scratches at all, none!
Unless, there is too much risk with your daily usage, maybe consider not using one. With that case, you probably don't need a screen protector?

I've replaced the screen with a cheap one I found on AliExpress (suspected to be from a Cool S1) and I'm not sure if the replacement one has any sort of reinforced glass (like the Gorilla Glass 4 the LePro3 originally had) to protect it from scratches and shatters. That's why I need the screen protector.

DONT use tooth paste. It's just jerks lying for YouTube hits. You may being noticing just scratches on the oleophopic coating. You can't fix that. If you can feel the scratches with your nail the you can polish them out but you will remove more oleophobic Coating. My advice put a screen protector on and forget about it or ask OnePlus to replace screen if you want perfection .
Just apply a uv tempered glass and leave it that way.
The Power of Oneplus 7 Pro be with you
As advised above, LOCA (Liquid optically clear adhesive) is apparently good for hiding micro-scratches so applying a UV Glue screen protector will probably help and avoid future damage. The Whitestone Dome protector would most likely be the best candidate although it is pricey but has tons of good reviews.
