S-View Case scratched display?

Pls who can tell me if this case really scratches screen or not?
Thx in advance.

I have the stock S-View cover on my Note 4, got it when I got the phone and I've had it on the whole time, I haven't had any problems at all with it messing with the screen. Granted, I do have a screen protector on (Zagg HDX), but I'd think that it would be even more likely to show any damage on a plastic protector than on the Gorilla Glass so I'm pretty confident that you shouldn't have any issues with it. If anything, I'd say it helps to protect the screen by keeping it covered when it's in my pocket! I also used the S-View cover the entire time I had my Galaxy S4, never had any trouble with that one either. I know some people really don't like S-View, but personally I don't think I'd own a Galaxy phone without it! One of the things I love the most is that I can make a phone call and have the cover closed while I talk, keeps my screen from getting a big cheek print on it!

Owned a smart phone ever since I could remember. I never had any major issues with scratches on the screen since I try to be as careful as I can.
Recently I had a M8 before my Note 4. I decided to get the HTC Flip Case with a unscratched/mint Screen. I figure it would protect it, but after a few weeks of using it, I saw scratches on the screen that you can feel your finger nail.
After that, I decided to never use a flip case again.

Samsung is not HTC. As I haven't owned an HTC since the original Droid Incredible I really can't speak to the quality of their flip cases, but as I said I've used an S-View case for the entire time I've owned both of my Samsung phones. My Father uses an S-View case, my Mother uses one, and at least a few of my friends use them, and I've never once heard from any of them a single report of the screen getting scratched from using it. On top of that, for a significant amount of time I used the S-View case on my S4 with no screen protector. Honestly, if you just don't like the S-View cover then don't use it, but don't make the choice based on worrying about the screen getting scratched as you've got a much better chance of that happening without one than with!

It is not the case that would scratch the screen, plastic/cloth cannot physically harm the gorilla glass. It is physically not possible. The dust and debris that may get in between the screen and the case however can which means unless you put a screen protector on the phone there is absolutely nothing you can do to 100% guarantee that your screen will not get scratched.

It does because the case can collect particles which can scratch the screen. There was a similar thread in the Note 3 forums last year where people got scratches on their Note 3. It's simply friction. Either live with it or use a screen protector.

either get a screen protector or dont.
sview is NOT a screen protector. If anything you are better without if to protect your screen because if you happen to be playing with your phone, any dirt get on the screen, you will close the sview over it = scratch from frictions

I bought the S-view case day one when I got my Note 4. The phone was fine and had no scratches on it for about 3 weeks.
However just this weekend I found a small scratch about a 3 to 4 millimeters long that can be felt with your fingernail. There are also scratches on the black parts of the front (bezel) that are also about 3 millimeters but they are not as deeps.
Needless to say I went an bought the first screen protector I could find. Still trying to find a good quality tempered glass one like I had on my S4.

I really want to get the s view case but pretty hesitant on this screen scratching problem (or oleophobic coating wearing off).
Since its been quite some time since the phone's release, I was wondering if anyone has any further experience. Does the screen actually get damaged from the cover after a couple months of use?

Reporting in, been using the official S-View case since day 1, still no scratches, scuffs, or marks whatsoever. Of course I do also have a Zagg HDX screen protector on it, but honestly the Zagg should scratch much easier than the gorilla glass so I'd say pretty confidently that this is not an issue to worry about. Pull the trigger!

Thanks. Got the S-View case today.
Call me paranoid, but I seem to be getting a horizontal smudge line across the screen after extended periods of leaving it closed (right where the bottom of the window is located).
It rubs off easily, but hoping it doesn't leave a permanent mark on the screen like some have mentioned...

my GF has the sview case on her note 4, been on there for a couple months now. she shoves her phone in her pocket, purse, whatever, its held up fine so far.
the only 2 complaints I have (not even her complaint and she uses it) is: 1. that the camera takes square photos when using the sview case to take a picture. easily remedied by using the camera app instead and 2. the window seems to pick up oils from the screen easier than the rest of the case. I frequently notice a square of smudges on her display that coincides exactly where the window is when closed.
other than that, the case is fantastic for her, she loves it. I personally don't use a case

Edge 6 Plus scratches on screen with clear view case

Hi all
got the edge plus with the clear view case now i have exactly the same issue with the smaller edge with little dots and a scratch on the screen.
contacted Samsung and they say their is nothing official for the Edge Plus so the chances are they will not replace the screen free of charge.
is anyone out their in the same boat as me, is their any official notification from Samsung covering the Edge Plus
Thanks

Same sh*t for me, my brother has the S6 edge and had this problem, and I bought the clear view cover for my edge+ thinking it was fixed, after 3 days, noticed few scratches when I was on sunlight, 2 weeks with the phone and already pissed out 'cause of stupid things like these...
Sent from my SM-G928F using XDA Free mobile app

I got this case but after reading about the issues with the S6 I only used it after installing a screen protector. I then noticed small pinpricks in the protector after using the case and I could even see the indentation of a circle where the magnet touches the screen. Fortunately most of the marks disappeared from the protector after a few days but it appears that they have not resolved this in the design. I also found that the back of the case itself scratches too easily - it is already showing several scratches even though I have been very careful in handling it. I am surprised they sell it as an official case given the known problems.

The clear view case is definitely one to stay away from. Although it added to the beauty of the phone, it just was not practical, offered no screen interaction when closed and over time I would imagine it would wear out quite quickly. Returned mine after 2 days (before any scratches set in) and opted for the official SView cover which gave me back the functionality that I was used to. Having had the original SView cover on my Note3, after 2 years of hard use it really protected my phone well. The case is in gold and looks better than I expected. Fingers crossed this new SView cover for my edge+ will hold up the same.

i have the clear view case for almost 2 weeks now and not a single scratch or dent visible; maybe you guys had some dust or smth in your pockets that went inbetween the case and the screen?

I had for few days the phone didn't scratch but the cover is completely scratched and it's just awful now ?

I've had my gold clearview case for a week and it's looking a little bit scratchy but nothing too serious.
I just wonder where people's expectations lie in these cases. Of course we don't expect to see scratches on the screen when there's a protective case over it but the case couldn't have caused the scratches. Previous S-View and flap cases were quite soft and spongy, these ones are tough so grit could easily get pressed against the glass. If anything, Samsung should provide a screen cover with the case. I use a plastic screen cover anyway because I find the bare glass too slippery at times.
As for scratches on the case itself, well that's what it's for! It takes the hit so your phone doesn't, and with a mirror finish you'll see some wear and tear. If you wanted a case that maintains its original appearance then don't pick mirror finish, clear hard shell or light colours - grab a dark silicone thing to wrap around your phone and it will look the same in 2 years as it did the day you bought it. Next we'll be seeing case protector films to keep the case from degrading!

Mate,
I am a very careful user 1.5 years with M8 without any case and it still looks brand new. But a "Official Samsung case" I expect it to be a bit more durable and not prone to so much scratches and this case ain't cheap either. Now Clear case by Spigen no no scratches on the case or phone. I'm happy with the performance. I chose Clear view case from Samsung so I can take advantage of it's features.

I've bought the clear view case for my black S6E+ and I can confirm that it does indeed scratch the screen.
The first scratches appeared after something like 3 days of usage, so I've placed spigen ultra crystal to protect screen from further damage and to mask the spots.
I thought that maybe the reason was that I've carried the phone in the case in my pocket one day. But to my rage I've noticed that the case have damged the screen protector within 2-4 hours after applying it and this time there was no pocket to blame, I was home with my little girl sick so I've only moved the phone from one room to another always carrying it in the hand.
I've contaced Samsung Poland by their facebook account and they advised to report the problem to authorised service center in order to assess the damage, but I've let it go - I dont think they have much experience with replacing the screen in this particular device and I was afraid that the final effect may be in fact even worse.
So I replaced the Spigen with another one (~20$ went straight to the bin) and I stay away from the clear view case. At the beginning I was using S-View Cover (highly recommended) but I settled now with Rock TPU (way slimmer and better than Nillkin Nature or Spigen Liquid).
I've compared clear view cases for S6 and S6E+ and it is obviuos that they tried to improve the design by adding a kind of "lip" along the internal edge of the flap so I doesnt rest at the whole screen all the time. This means that the scratches will now be placed (as it was in my case) along the edges of the screen thus giving additional meaning to "S6 Edge"
It does have oleophobic coating and yes it seems to be able to heal minor scratches so thats a plus, but it really doesnt matter as long as the case meant to PROTECT the screen actually DAMAGES it.

Thanks for that. Im glad i went for the S-view instead, i had it on my Note 4 previously without a single scratch.

In UK Samsung acknowledged that clear view case causes scratches on s6 edge and they are replacing screens (only once) plus adding screen protector, wondering if its the same for s6edge+. Worth asking samsung helpline

Mine did it after just a few days. I hate flip covers anyway. But I can't un-scratch the screen.
Ugh...

Chiffon Method to avoid scratches
Chiffon method to avoid scratches
Here is something that came to my mind using Chiffon fabric to put inside the cover to protect the screen, if the screen is still prone to scratches after this, means that the screen is pure crap.
If you don't want to use the Chiffon one, pay attention not to use one made from plastic.
Material:
- A cut of Chiffon fabric, in Mexico costs 1 dolar per meter.
- Transaparent glue, the one used in school that is water washable, in case of error, it can be safely removed
PROCEDURE: (Very complex)
- Glue the fabric into the inside of the cover as you will see in the picture
That's it, is possible to use any mostly transparent fabric in cotton or polyester that is like Chiffon or better, I found this one here.
NOTE: The pictures are very bad quality, looking at the phone is mostly the same using the fabric compared to not using it.
NOTE 2: Inside the cover is mostly the same in black, the bad lighting where I shoot it creates that gray halos, is pure black and if you are a purist you can do it much better than me.
NOTE 3: "CON" mean WITH and "SIN" means Whithout

No offence but it looks really terrible...

Using S7 Edge WITHOUT screen protector

Hello guys! How are you?
I didn´t find some topic with this...I searched for good screen protector but it´s hard to find and to work it with some case...
I already bought the AmazingThing screen protector to try it (on the topic off screen protectors it seens to be the better one until now), but didn´t instal it yet because i bought also a case and I want to try this before because I think that they won´t work together...
Well...this topic is to users who are using it without any screen protector!
- How is your screen?
- It´s demaged or it´s ok?
- There are to many scratches?
- Just a few scratches that with screen turn on you can´t see it?
The first month with the S7E I used it withou screen protector and the screen was ok, no scratches until that time...after that I´m trying some screen protectors...but I´m tired of just try ****...
Thinking to use without but scared to fu**up the phone haha
Leave your experience!

How much time you´re using without? Could take some picture after?

No screen protector, no case and no scratches I keep my keys in my pocket sometimes too. So not sure why it doesn't scratch.

No screen protector. Not scratches, nothing.

Micro scratches all over

u don't have to worry as long u don't throw ur phone in a pocket or bag with keys/coins/stuff!!! Never used a screen on my S6 edge / Note 5 and S7 edge and never had a issue until the other day i threw my S7 edge in my messenger which had a bunch of stuff in it now it has a tiny scratch... all my fault.

Just be careful with your phone man! Try and get a case with a good bump just in case.

Excellent case

I have been using the above case since April. I use my phone a lot at home and work. I have no marks whatsoever . Screen protectors are very hit and miss for the edge s7. I probably wasted about £30 on different variants and to be honest none of them were any good. Make sure the case is a genuine Spigen as there are lots of other sellers palming off fakes.
Hope this helps :good:

Using my S7 Edge without a screen protector for more than 2 months now with just a UAG case. Not a single scratch.

Surprisingly no micro scratches or anything on it besides the big cracks going along the screen, that I have since I dropped the phone. Might aswell go on with the insurance claim.

No screen protector and a tiny scratch visible when the screen is bright. Bought during june.

thank you all guys! I got one "glass" screen protector (seens to be the best option with others users reviews), but I haven´t installed it yet...maybe I´ll try it before using without because I already bought it, but I´m tired to search it...if it doesn´t work well I´ll use it without and be happy
I see that maybe will have some tiny scratches...that tiny scratches you can see with the display on or just when it is turned off?
If you could put some photos I´ll thank you a lot!!

I usually put on tempered glass protectors on all of my phones but I couldn't find a proper one for my S7E. I've using mine with no protecotor for more than a month now, but not a single scratch so far. I don't like the film ones, they tend to get dirty overtime and I hate the rainbow effect on the flim.
I'd recommend you go naked with S7E because the screen seems strong enough to resist scraches from dusts. Well I do use my phone carefully, as in I barely drop it and don't put it in my pocket with keys or anything. So If you are like me, you probably wouldn't need one

I'm not using any protector, but occasionally I use the 0.3mm thin silicon case that covers just the back. No scratches.

No screen protector
I have a case without a screen protector on my S7 Edge.
So far so good. I've had the phone since May and it doesn't look like I have any scratches yet.
I make sure that when I put the phone in my pocket that I don't have anything else in that pocket, especially not anything metal or other hard substances like sand.
I tried a few screen protectors and I couldn't find any that would fit well enough so I just gave up.

was using it without any screen protector but got few minor scratches in jus 10 days with keychain in pocket .so now m using a screen protector

Tech21 is awesome and very slim. I posted a thread about a screen protector from 5below (store here in NC) that's 5 dollars. Best one I've found yet. I've tried skinomi and zagg. I will say my case needed some modifications with my dremmel so it wouldn't keep making the edges come up.

I don't use screen protector since many years, but always a wallet case. Never had a scratch on my different phones....

I have some micro scratches! About 2 months in use!
But I never use screen protectors and definitely not gonna do it now on a curved screen where most, if not all, screen protectors have issues to master it and fully cover it while being compatible with cases!

I want recommend to you very good glass screen protector

After more than a month what can you say about the glass? I've read, that after some time edges start to detach opening way to dust and so on. Did you experience anything similar?

My Mate 9 is about 6 months old with nothing on. The screen is like new. The only dents are on the edge, left by a low-quality tripod holder.

sorry for not update.
the screen protector disconnected very fast...!!

I haven't found 1 decent protector. Cheap Ali express, expensive Nilkin, they all suck, detach from the edge in weeks and come loose. Nilkin is the most reasonable but I'm gonna stop replacing them every 2 months when this one is gone. If then the glass breaks I have the best reason to get a mate 10

Try Mr Shield For Huawei Mate 9 on Amazon, cheap, easy to install

This one actually hasn't been too bad for me. Reviews were still iffy but seemed to be the "best" (relative to others) and the first one I tried. Goes almost all the way to the edge, haven't had any peeling/ separation at the edges. The fact that it doesn't go all the way to the edge is good for the spigen case that I have. Much more and the case would be pressing against the screen protector, causing it to separate.
I like that it is a 2-pack...I actually cracked mine diagonally after a drop and it's nice to have a backup without having to go and buy another one. And for only $8 is a pretty good deal.

I second that this is the best glass screen protector for the price. All the other screen protector I purchased doesn't cover the full screen and leaves a rainbow effect on the sides. Very easy to install and if you get a few dust you can lift up and use the kit that comes with it.

[QUESTION] Rhinoshield protection solutions for the Note 9

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone has tried the rhinoshield cases + screen / back protectors for the Note 9.
I have seen plenty of reviews praising both the solidsuit and crash guard, but not much about the frontal screen protector (the one they claim to be full adhesive). Any impressions on this one?

I have ordered a back protector. will give u more info once I get it

I also want to know about the lenses that can be attached to the solidsuit if anyone knows

I am using the Solid suit currently and its been almost 2 weeks and so far so good.
I had the Spigen tough armour earlier which was little bulky so thought of using this one
My colleague has been using the solid suit for his galaxy s9+ and he has dropped it preety much everywhere and he is preety happy with the performance
I have ordered the Rhinoshield Wide+Macro lens + adapter so still waiting for the delivery
Once they arrive will share the experience
For the tempered glass with adhesive i have been using the Spigen one and i am preety much satisfied with it. Moreover it costs little less than the rhinoshield

I totally disliked the front screen protector. It doesn't have black edges but dot matrix ans the common horrible rainbow effects in the middle of the screen.

I would love to try some screen protectors, but my only concern is that I won't able to wash my phone. Ever since I had galaxy S8 plus, I have been washing the phone regularly (3 times a week) with lukewarm water and once twice a month with hand soap. Owned Note 8 and S9 plus, continued the same tradition and the phones were in better condition when I sold them used.
Using a nice glass shield might make me happy, but I am not sure having additional layer of glass would make me any happier. As we know smartphone manufacturers try every year to reduce the thickness of glass as much possible because it makes the phone more beautiful.
I used liquid nano crystal on S8 plus and that was the stupidest mistake. Even though the protection worked, that killed Samsung's dust resistance coating making it a fingerprint magnet. Just few minutes after a clean wash phone would look very oily, dusty and old. In the end phone fell out of my pocket and accidentally closed the car door, smashing the phone. Phone was bent in the center, Samsung said they won't repair due to possible motherboard damage. Lesson learnt - If the phone is destined to shatter, you won't be able to protect it
