Damn, I scratched my zagg and the naked glass is soooo nice.
Any protector feel like glass?

Nope. No need for screen protectors on glass screens anyway unless you don't take care of your $800 devices.

You can still get scratches even if you take care of it, just from daily use. Id rather have a screen protector still. Plus no gorilla class.

I can attest to the SGP Crystal protector feels like there is no protector on there at all.
Highly recommended.
Realook....feel like lambskin.

I HATE screen protectors, but I just got my first glass scratch I've had ever. I don't even know how I did it, but my Skyrocket has a 1" scratch at the bottom of the screen. You can't feel it, and you can't see it with the screen on, but with the screen off and the right lighting you can see it. Annoys me a little (that it happened) but its the risk you take
im pretty sure the skyrocket does have gorilla glass
No the skyrocket has no gorilla glass

The Skyrocket DOES have gorilla glass. Cornings website and the Samsung FAQ both state this. Also Google it, Google knows everything.

Is not the SR just an Americanized LTE SGS II?
Isn't the SGS II the last device on that list?
I'm sick of this gorilla glass argument LOL contact Samsung they will tell you that the skyrocket uses a scratch resistant screen but not gorilla glass if you go through the threads and search this topic has been squashed so many times I've lost count. So the high and mighty attitude drop it.

The entire Galaxy S & Galaxy S 2 lines are supposed to have Gorilla Glass. Any sibling phone included. (SG2 and SG2 LTE and so on...)
BTW: Nothing is scratch proof. Not Gorilla Glass, invisibleSHIELD, or any other screen protector. You still must take care of your device, and accidents happen.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/samsung
I think the reason you don't get it from Samsung support is because they are scripted to use whatever is in front of them. If you look at the spec sheet for the Skyrocket you won't see the actual processor. I bet if you called and asked what processor it had in it all you would get is "1.5 GHz dual-core processor".
To Answer the OP: Get it replaced http://www.zagg.com/support/register/replacement_process.php

Thank you. That's the point I was trying to convey in my previous reply and had no intent to be hi nor mighty.
As you stated the Galaxy S II is the base model. It's a logical thought that the child version from the base would maintain the same base features while adding specific tweaks to that revision of the device.
As referenced in this link with the original Galaxy S (Dubbed i9000, Vibrant, and Captivate) was released in three variants but all had the same basic design structure.
Wasn't trying to start a pissing match.. It is surprising some times how XDA conversations degrade amazingly fast to that point.
I googled and found sites for and against so who knows.

Newbie here, thought I'd get in my first post. I have been going through ALL of the threads here to get up to speed, I've got a SGH-I727R coming that I was able to get for FREE from Rogers!
Anywhoo, I as well have noticed the quick degradation on threads. Lots of short fuses and overreaction.

Hi, i accident drop my s4 i9505 and cause a dent to the middle housing bezel. Is there any recommend on spare part shop that I can get a hold for the replacement? I looking for the original/chrome if possible. Thanks alot!
here my picture.
service center should be the only way if you have to fix it, or you can buy a case for your s4 so that it hides the dent
It seems metallic.. Isnt It?? I thought It was plastic.

It's plastic. And you can change it yourself easily. You have to buy something like this

I don't think the top chrome is plastic since mine also got flattened after a drop

How did you do it? I found a video on YouTube but its pretty complicated
Edit: I found another video it's in the first 3 minutes here's a link http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2YjGeZ86cpQ
i saw this video earlier. it is a real product you can buy. put out by rust-oleum. the video is pretty crazy. if this really works as it say it does i am getting it. for $20 completely seal your phone from water and dirt or anything else. it looks like it doesn't add any thickness. so i would assume it would work with any case or accessory. check it for yourself:good:

Although the video shows it working on electronics, they won't actively push it as a feature. Why? Because if you get it slightly wrong your phone will break, and that's a loooot of pressure on the company. If they say it does and it doesn't they hold liability

I have heard some people voice concern over the volume rocker being loose, small gaps between speaker grill and screen or (in my case) it being slight raise in one corner. My issue with the screen is only something I notice if I run my finger over it slowly and if I point it out to someone I get a chuckle and a head shake lol. Build quality in my experience with every m8 I have seen with the exception of one has been great IMO. The poorly built m8 i did see the rep wouldnt sell it and took it back with out being ask which was nice. Sometimes I will get tiny pieces of lint in the speaker grill but its easy to remove with tape.

Camera has a strange film on it that scratches very easily. Easily fixed by using an abrasive to buff it out like toothpaste or a Mr clean magic eraser. Annoying nonetheless.
Besides that it's great.

Do you have a case of some kind on your device if so which one? I only ask because I have yet to scratch mine in almost 4 months. I run naked or with a very thin beaus clear case.

Yes, it's a supcase with a clear back, scratched up very badly just from being in my pocket. Also my duo camera and front camera kind of got really foggy, so my pictures came out all blurry. I had nothing else in my pocket and always took good care of it.
You might have a good model then. But once I had one scratch the rest came fairly quickly.

I happened to have taken mine with me on a jetski once by mistake and the results of it gave my phone a wiggly power button (i think, might have already been there) but other than that I've seen little to no faults in it.
Sorry for another question but I gotta ask about signal strength compared to say moto or LG. I went from a droid razr to a G2 last November and have seen some variance in signal.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Build quality for me is nice. I don't have the volume wiggle buttons problem. I will say some times lint from your pockets gets in the speaker grill but taking a cleaning cloth and wipe over the holes does it for me.

Haha, thanks for the sympathy.
I think a dead pixel might be worse, after you scratch away that film the camera is good as new. Dead pixel all you can do is replace the screen. My camera is great now.

I know this phone hasn't even been released yet so this thread is a little premature BUT hear me out.
Last year from what I can see from the Moto X 2014 threads was that there was not a single tempered glass screen protector that actually worked thanks to a slight curve at the edge of the glass. Which makes me think it could possibly be the case this year also.
I know one tempered glass screen protector is actually now available to pre-order on Amazon ... although it does have a in stock date of Dec 2015.
