I've used toothpaste before and it worked. Make sure you use the PASTE.

As opposed to what?
The gel stuff
Scratch resistant not scratch proof!
a back protector will hide it and protect it.

Somehow my gorilla glass got a 1/2" scratch in the middle of the screen. Anyone know a way to buff it out?
Tear off the film on surface.
You sound surprised that it got scratched?!
It's not scratch proof!

Thanks, smartaxes...
Gorilla glass is supposed to be scratch proof. So, I imagine it would take more than your standard glad repair kit.
Also, didn't think gorilla glass could be peeled off...
Anyone with useful info?

Samsung put a film on top of Gorilla glass to prevent finger prints and improve touch comfortness.
Resistant, not proof!
Big difference. It's just harder than regular cell phone glass and nothing extraordinary like sapphire crystal or anything.

I have my nexus 5 for about 3 months and i have very small scratch on my screen that only noticeable by light
sometimes when im outside and im with the phone its very annoying to see that scratch.
what can i do to remove it?
I would recommend to just put a screen protector on it that'll hide the scratch. I've bought the scratch remover and used it before on the screen and didn't have any luck getting rid of them. Spigen has an ultra crystal clear screen protector that feels nice and hides the light scratches.
Put a tempered glass
Buy a new screen costs 10$ and glue it on the lcd with loca glue

Brand I used was Garmour but Nilkin is good too.

P.S please don't try this

Stumbled upon this and thought it may be good to share with the members here.
https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Nillkin-Anti-Explosion-Hardness-Tempered/dp/B01J1D7RTI
Bought one and tried - verdict: it's less prone to fingerprints. Now I'll be looking for a bumper case next
Does it lift on the sides? I have their front screen protector and it lifts on the edges.
Bought one from http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32701520282.html
And it was probably even easier to set up than the front. Unfortunately it does lift on the edges as well. I have yet to find one that doesn't have that effect. Then again the 2.5d glass makes it difficult like that.
An alternative
Hello people of honor
I found a very cheap alternative back protector on ali today.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-P...-8-Clear-Ultra-Thin-Slim-Fit/32756887262.html
It says the material is carbon fibre. According to pictures, it's partialy transparent. Also it should help with grip (hearing the phone is very slipery, still awaiting mine). The question is, how will it look on the phone. Could be somewhere betweeen good and an absolute abomination.
I ordered one today, I'll post here when I get mine (and my phone) if I remember & won't feel lazy.
Ohhhh that actually looks nice! Looking forward to seeing how it looks.
Is there a completely clear thin back film? I just want one to protect from scratches while still using a case

Tempered glass is NOT what I'm looking for. That's intended to use without a case. I need the old standard thin protector to leave no bulk while still using a case

My bad..lol
mine using this one
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J1D7KU4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the back layer thinner than front 0.3mm layer
I bought nillkin 0.2mm tempered glass protector for the front and it also came with a plastic protector for the back. I bought the carbon fiber back protector and it is garbage. The hole cutouts are off and it doesn't stick to the back that well. I'm just using the one included with nillkin.
My friend's S8+ (thankfully not mine) was placed face down on a table.
Unfortunately, she slid the phone a bit causing tiny scratches to appear on the screen.
I've read online that using toothpaste or cerium oxide would work to remove scratches.
Can anyone confirm ?
I didn't think Gorilla Glass 5 would scratch so easily.
The scratches are really small, and not deep at all, but kind of disappointing to hear that it scratched.
Any one know any remedies that might work to remove faint scratches?
Dont do it. Ive tried it in the past and it doesn't work. There are a few problems. Firstly it can make the glass hot, and damage the screen, secondly, if you do manage to polish it down it will leave the glass feeling very rough and extremely grippy, and no aftermarket coating that you can apply change that. Its not a nice feeling at all.
It seems like Gorilla glass doesnt respond to being polished like normal glass does.
The best thing to do is put a screen protector on, with luck it will 'fill' the scratch and make it invisible.
Thank you for the extremely quick response!
I was thinking the same thing.
I'll let her know

Your best bet is to apply a plastic screen protector, they usually hide the micro scratches surprisingly well!

What about tempered glasses or wet install screen protectors ?
don't think so, they dont actually make contact with the glass like plastic does and that's when the magic happens.

Gorilla glass has a p roduct that fills the scratches to repair them. It polishes out yo look perfect. Thats what I'd recommend.

Gorilla glass 5 is not as hard as 4. Which supposedly gives it a better impact resistance. But also makes it more prone to scratches
Hey guys!
I had a stupid idea and found some people on reddit backing it up, but I would like to run it trough you guys first.
I found this product: https://www.gearbest.com/scratch-repair-pen/pp_009991554757.html?wid=1433363
It's a ceramic 9H scracth resistant, for cars :silly:
My ideia was, what if I used it to give a "bath" to my Nex? Do you think the finger. reader and touch would still work? If not, do you I think it would protect the phone if used only on the back with a hard glass on front?
That way I could stop using the dammn cases...
Thanks for your input!

My first thought is that glass shatters and ceramic cracks and chips anyway. It may help with scratches but as soon as you have a major drop it's gone. I'll take a case over anything else for the shock absorption.

Yes but I have no problem with it cracking if it protects the phone. It's like the tempered glass, it cracks easily than the screen, but I don't mind changing it once in a while if my screen is protected.
My question is if it would protect the glass back, and also if it would work on the front glass with all the underdisplay sensors

My opinion is it won't protect against anything other than scratches. The glass shatters due to shock and that's what a case minimizes. I don't know if any of the screen sensors would work though.

I think not... the ceramic paint it's used in cars to protect from corrosion and scratches. And I don't even know wich kind of surface it woul stick on
Seems like Linus had the same idea as I did a year ago....
