How many of you with scratches on screen? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi people!
For those without screen protection, how many of you with scratches on screen of the S7 flat?

No scratches on my S7
No scratches on my S5 with not even a case for almost 2 years

its not bout scratches its bout how well you take care of your phone because it comes with gorilla glass 4 so it shgould last if you take care of it.

Gorilla Glass 4 my ass. I baby my phones and have never scratched a screen until this one. Super disappointed with GG4 or Samsung's implementation...

I also take care of my phones VERY much, and can see some scratches visible on sunlight after 3 months. I never put my phone with something that can scratch it. But then again, I saw those little scratches on every phone I had. Good thing about older phones is that it wasn't so freaking hard to find a screen protector

When U live in Serbia, ordering things is a pain in the.. Neck
I have a friend that works in a larger phone accessory shop here, and he said that none of the protectors they have are full screen or that they always have bubbles.
Have U tried any? Maybe a suggestion so I know which protectors are good for ordering online.

I have a galaxy alpha with gorilla glass 4, and also have the small scratches.
These small scratches come from sand,dirt,dust that is harder than the screen and rubs against your phone in your pocket, these small scratches are unavoidable without screenprotector.
But these are small so they don't bother me, what worries me more is the back glass which is not GG4 and scratches more easy.

Hi everyone.
I've owned a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930W8 Exynos edition since release date. One day around month 3 I was removing the phone from my otter box case and with the littlest bit of flexing the back glass cracked horribly. I found this to be very annoying since this is supposed to be a "prime" quality phone with gorilla glass 4. I think it was more like gurly glass 4 as I bearly flexed the phone at all and am a very caring / gentle phone user and have owned many and never cracked a case/screen ever. My question is has anyone had broken glass, front or back replaced under samsungs warranty or am I crap outta luck? I called Samsung once and they said it's not covered. Since it was not outside of proper use I feel I was fed a line. Any help or suggestions? Very dissapointed in gorilla glass 4,and Samsung for placing it all over all sides of the gs7 in a very thin manner.
Makes me rethink if I'll ever purchase another Samsung again.
Discouraged and disappointed!

Hard or rigid protectors can't cover the whole screen because the edge has a bevel. I got an anti-glare matte screen protector and it works great

Well those back panels can be bought for like 13 bucks and can be easy to replace but you will lose the waterproof tho.

Thanks for the tip!
But I don't really want a rigid protector, I mean, i have been using plastic film protectors on all my phones, because I'm very gentle with them and just want to keep them from small pocket scratches. I just need a full screen one that will go over those 2.5d edges of the glass. I also don't like those matte protectors, they totally mess up the screen quality

I had 3 years SG S4 and only one little scratch. After 3 days having S7 I have already weird "graze" (is it correct word in English?) . Is not visible when screen is clean but dirt always stay in the same place. I'm VERY disappointed. Also afraid about home button made of plastic !

My first S7 edge had a super Deep scratch right on the screen curve, stay that for awhile before it turn in a crack going across the screen.

I bought a Fosmon screen protector for both mine and my wife's S7s and they fit really well. If you apply them correctly then you won't have any bubbles. I never use the guides or anything to put it on, I just go slowly and use a credit card to smooth out bumps. Cleaning your phone screen first with alcohol and a lint free wipe cuts down on anything left on the screen to cause bubbles.

That is not at all what I was asking. My question was has anybody had this issue and had it replaced under warranty? If so what did the process entail and what was said to get it done. I appreciate your comment as to boost your standings in the forums but if your info is not some of actual help you might wanna say nothing at all and let someone else answer the issue.

Since you went hostile... You might wanna to stop being a **** and start your own thread, for your own issue, instead of hijacking this thread. You broke your phone and that isn't a warranty issue, which Samsung already explained to you. He offered you info the help you quickly & easily fix your phone for very little $.
As for screen scratches on my S7, I don't have any so far. No screen protector either. I guess it's probably nerdy, but I carry my phone in a Nite-Ize holster, on my belt, and never in my pocket. So far, I've never scratched a screen on any of my phones since the OG Droid. I had a screen protector on my OG Droid, for a few months, but that's been the only one I've used.

What's your problem? Maybe you should just STFU then if you get mad bout people helping your dumb ass. You break your own phone and come in hete crying bout warranty while this treath is about scratches on the screen. So next time calm down or dont reply

Personally if your just using it day to day you wont see any scratches on your phone especially since the Galaxy S7 has gorilla glass 4. I would recommend a screen protector or even a glass screen protector if you are the type of person who chucks around their phone and doesn't really care about it.
You should be fine using it without a screen protector

[Q] Polish scratched NS screen of not?

I scratched the screen of my wife's Nexus S and was wondering whether I should try polishing the screen with iDrops (or a similar scratch removal polish)?
Main reason for this question is that I do not know whether the Nexus S screen type (capacitive SAMOLED) will be damaged (cosmetically or functionally) if polished. Thanks for your input!

I would think that polishing it may remove the oleophobic coating on the phone. I wouldn't do it, but maybe someone else on here knows better.
Out of curiosity, do you mind if I ask how you scratched the screen? Did it take a lot to scratch it? How bad is the scratch?
Thanks for your input...I won't be too concerned if it would lose the oleophobic coating as I will install a screen protector on it anyhow.
I scratched it when I dropped it out of my hand while picking it up. The sides of the phone are thin and slick and I think it is easy to let it slip for that reason. The phone dropped with the screen down on the stove, was a bad fall but I think the screen would have been largely undamaged if it would have had a screen protector installed.
Annoying is that I had ordered both the screen protector and silicone case for my wife's phone 2 weeks before I dropped it. If these items would have come in on time I would not have damaged her phone...
I wouldnt either. Seems a bit risky but u never know. It wont looks its touch factor but it will lose the top ole coat. Just slap a screen guard and ur good to go.
Don't know if it helps but I scratched my galaxy s screen which is samoled,and tried to polish it out, it left a permanent smudge ,looking worse than the original scratch!
Thanks for the input, guys. It looks like it is better to not polish it as it seems too risky.
Your best bet is to convince Best Buy that there is a defect with your phone and you need a replacement.
Don't feel as though you're scamming them. They scam people on a daily basis.
I noticed a few scratches on the bottom part of my screen and convinced BB that it was a defect so they exchanged it. I had also spoken to a represenative on the phone and was told that you can only do an exchange if you payed full price for the phone. Don't know if its true but that's what I was told

Gorilla Glass Display

Hey guys and gals,
I've never owned a device with Gorilla glass display since my Vibrant and I only had it for a few days. I was wondering, for those that do not use a screen protector. Is a screen protector needed?
I've always used Invisashelid but I really like the feel of just glass and if I got even the tiniest scratch I would O.C.D on it and it would dive me nuts.
So in short, does the Gorilla Glass work well enough to where you don't need a screen protector at all?
The guy at T-Mobile told me that the Sensation does not have GG but after doing to little Google-ing it seems it does. I know this is a funny question but I wanted to get peoples opinions about it before I made my phone naked (besides the case).
If you're even remotely OCD (which you claim you are)..USE PROTECTION! Then you can only blame yourself.

Major fail on my part, I have no idea how I didn't see that . Thanks for the heads up, I'll close the thread.

XO, BSE, SGP or something else?

Which will be the best screen protector? Which is the best based off your past experiences?
I am in the UK and willing to order from the US but I'm not sure which is the best. I still need to sell my unused XO from my Galaxy Nexus
UK here too. I've tried Zagg, Skinomi and BSE in the past. BSE are undoubtedly the best of those 3
I'm having trouble deciding on a screen protector as well, but I've always gotten the InvisibleSHIELD. I mostly do so because I can buy the full body skin (or any of the kits they sell), then take it to the mall and they'll apply it all free of charge. If they screw up (they never do), then they'll give me a brand new one. If it gets all scratched up, gets a bubble, or ANYTHING, I just take it to the mall (without a receipt or box or anything) and they'll replace it all totally free. If I screw up applying other protectors, I don't want to have to ship it back and wait for a new one. While others do sometimes have kiosks (from what I've heard), I have yet to actually see one. I've never minded the whole orange peel thing personally, so it doesn't really affect my decision by much. I just love their warranty in combination with the kiosks. It makes it very easy.
Another thing I'm worried about is this: If I get the full body kit, can I still use a case, or will the friction of putting the case on be enough to screw it up? Has anyone had this issue? Should I just get a front and back kit instead? I plan on using case with the phone to protect from drops and what not, I usually just get a Speck Candy Shell or something, although I'm a huge fan of the LifeProof cases since they look good and offer great protection (either or not they'll make a Nexus 4 case is a different story, I suppose).
BSE all the way
...already on order.

How is the touch feeling of BSE ? Similar to glass or sticky like Zagg ?
They are all very similar. I usually go with Skinomi because of the price. I already pre-ordered it off Amazon.
I love XO skins. I just ordered one for the Nexus 4.

sgp steinheil is the best it feels smooth like its not there but is extremly hard my nexus s has deep scratches on the screen protector that havent even touched the glass
The best screen protector... is you! Don't slide your phone across the table, don't drop it, and don't put it in your pocket with potentially "dangerous" things (pens, keys, etc.), and all should be ok
I'm not a big fan of screen protectors; I like to have full touch control with my screen, and would rather not worry about what was the cause of my screen not registering that input (was it the screen protector, or just the phone itself?).
Well I don't know what kind of screen protectors you've been using but the ones I've used don't have any effect on the sensitivity of the touchscreen. I am careful with my stuff anyway but the small hairline scratches really annoy/bother me for some reason.

Protection is absolutely necessary for me since I work in construction/maintenance
I personally love steinheil! ( SGP )
I'm going for Ghost Armor actually.
Your question is the best for the N4. But nobody has any of these screen protectors made for the N4, and only a couple really lucky people have the phone. None of the opinions in your poll are actually based on experience with this device and this protector. Wait until people start getting them and then look at reviews.

where you order it??? Icant decide
I'm going with BSE because I've heard a lot of good things about them. Plus I like the wet apply idea. I've ALWAYS had problems with the sticky dry screen protectors. One little piece of fuzz or dust and you have annoying bubbles every where. And over time bits of fuzz/lint get up around the corners and it slowly starts to peel off.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter what you do. Before you know it you'll be in direct sunlight and you'll see all sorts of small little scratches. Then later, you'll always know they're there. I'm OCD about it. I can't stand having the tiny little scratches because I want my phone to stay new. I think the first time you put a phone in your pocket, it gets some sort of tiny little scratch from something.. then over time they build up and make the screen look aweful. Plus its funny you say pens and keys because those things wont scratch gorilla glass. I've tired a key on my old Atrix and nothing comes from it. It's actually particles of dust that have maybe glass or something else hard, or sand.
I want a dry applied one and really wanna know if a dry one can cover the entire screen of Nexus 4.......
XO Skins are the ones I have been using for a few years now. From what I have read xo and sgp are the only ones without orange peel. I don't know how the sgp do on curves though I posted a review of xo in my signature when I had the samsung google nexus

Exactly, all these videos of people dropping coins/keys on the phone are pointless. swipe over that phone just once with sand paper and its all over...

Me too. I ordered some of these:

They were great on my G2 but it has a flat screen. I'll let people know after I get them. I will be disappointed if they don't properly stay on the screen.
What is this "Orange peel" that people are referring to?

Screen is easy to scratch

Only had this phone a few weeks........got it the first day it was available, and have treated it like a baby. Screen is already full of micro-scratches. I thought a flagship device would have a better screen. Have never had issues like this with any of my HTC's.
Anyone else suffering from the same?
Is there a way to take micro-scratches out?
Screen protector helped hide mine.
My V10
It's Gorilla Glass 4. Same as on the Note 4. I had a ton of Micro Scratches on my Note 4, so I threw a screen protector on this thing right away. GG4 gets those micro scratches waaay to easily.
What do you guy's use to clean your screens?
have had gorilla glass 3 & 4 for some time, just turned in a note 4 in pristine condition!
No Screen Protection! trust me if your gorilla glass is getting scratches, it's you!
i had that kinda scratch on my G4, I thought V10 is better and i haven't put screen protector yet. but you guys scare me !! getting one soon.
Not a scratch on my note 2,3 or 4. Lg V10 one 1" long on the 4th day.
Yes the screen quality is ****ty and do not compare it with HTC at all it does not deserve to be in the same space... mine did not get scrathed anywhere still there are scratches .. If it gets scracthes from being in my pocket and rubbuing against my clothes this is a ****ty build .. i dont know what a fall would do ..
My screen is scratched noticeably. Combined with the back cover falling apart I'm rather frustrated.
Well this is unfortunate and here I was returning the blackberry Priv because of the build quality..

I like what LG did with the v10 and I love the promo. But man They failed terribly with the build quality. I never use cases or screen protectors. I've had every phone you can name. Even my Note 5 was naked. I've never ever had a screen scratch from just being in my empty pocket. Even the Note 5 got thrown in my backpack with my chargers accidently and came out with a small scratch on the back but the screen was fine. Not sure what's going on with the v10.

You can never throw in this phone in your backpack with chargers .. I feel so bad about this phone now .. surely not worth .. I had big hopes LG disappoints ..there are so many ...really So many bugs that its unbelievable ..LG knows nothing about making softwares. I will buy a screen protector for the first time .. MY HTC HD2 years old so badly neglected and thrown around... doesnt have a single scratch .. Shame on LG i am going to publicly shame them on twitter..
Wow, this sounds terrible. I bought a tempered glass screen protector before the phone so I put it on right away right when I unboxed it and before turning it on. I'm sure I'd have scratches all over too if I didn't.
I hate screen protectors, and phone cases. I'm a very tactile person.........flagship phones like this are too beautiful to hold with cases and screen protectors.
It's like wearing a condom..... Who likes condoms?!
my screen is scratched too. I dont use screen protectors as I am super careful with my phone. I dont know what caused my scratches but there are 2 subtle ones.

Question Screen Protector

Can anyone recommend a third party screen protector that actually works ?
Samsung says you shouldn't remove the OEM screen protector... but is it okay to do so?
If you ask me... I would recommend not to remove the OEM screen protector at the same time don't use any 3rd party screen protector too...

Why? Have you removed it? Any experience with other screen protectors?
I use the Skinomi screen protector on mine, been using them since my Pixel 2 XL. The Samsung one is a flimsy piece of hard plastic that loves finger prints. So glad I took the "risk"
You can find a number of videos where people apply their own. Definitely recommend, but it is scary while you're doing it
My tip after applying it: Keep the phone unfolded overnight!

Hi!
How long have you had the Skinomi protector on? Any problems? Does it feel as smooth as the stock protector? Does it cover the whole screen? Stock protector has small gaps all around the screen.
Some questions...

It feels so much better. I've had it on for about 3 months now. Keep in mind I never liked glass screen protectors. The 'rubbery' ones that require water feels better, and makes sense for a phone where you're not likely to drop it on the screen
No problems, just remember not to fold the phone for at least the day afterwards (I have a very small bubble there due to my impatience). Plus, the rubbery ones self heal so it always looks great. The fact that it never shows fingerprints too. No more constantly wiping the phone after every use
Yes I know exactly the issue with crap getting along the sides. So infuriating, but this one reaches the corners well. I also put the protector touching the very top of the phone as well to eliminate the top gaps so the only real gap is the very bottom, and that isn't touched as often as every other part of the phone. I also don't remember the last time I needed to clean it
In the picture, ignore the bottom gap gunk. It looks way worse on camera for some reason
Let me know if you want any more pictures/angles

When installing the Skinomi, what's the best way to deal with the hinge dip when "squeegeeing" the protector to the screen?
Just ordered the Skinomi.
I almost got T-Mobile to exchange the whole phone. They finally asked me when I bought it and determined it was still under Samsung warranty and directed me to Samsung.
Once again, Samsung sent me on a wild goose chase to Best Buy and the Samsung Experience section which, no longer exists at the 2 Best Buy's I tried.
Dismal support from Samsung!

Nice, that's the one I'm using
I think I first tried squeezing from middle outwards, but the phone did fine doing it normally (from top to bottom or vice versa). I was only worried about water getting into the hinges, but apparently these phones do well with water according to YouTube durability tests
I hear a lot of people with the same experience for the lack of Samsung support. It's a shame
Have you all read this yet:
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 durability tested — read this before you buy
The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is more durable, but the foldable display itself is still fragile
www.tomsguide.com
After reading that and watching the YouTube to replace the screen protector, seems pretty scary to replace the screen protector.
The best screen protector secured at last!
After many months of scouring the internet and more money spent than I'd like to admit, I have finally found what I would consider a better screen protector than even the OEM installed one from Samsung. I have tried close to 10 different...
forum.xda-developers.com
I just made a thread about this and I'm absolutely positive I found the best screen protector by a longshot. It's also a very straightforward install, I got a perfect install my first try.
