Try a liquid screen protector, take your pick from Amazon/eBay, etc.
I'm not a dentist, but, I'd steer clear of using toothpaste on anything transparent. Most toothpastes have some form of abrasive.......

if you try to remove the scratches, you will also remove the Oleophobic coating on the screen. only way to remove it without causing more damage is to replace the screen. otherwise, leave it alone, apply a screen protector(tempered glass) and move on .

Try one of the liquid screen protectors I mentioned earlier. It will help to hide the scratches by restoring the oleophobic coating.
Of course, no matter what, eventually the coating is going to wear away.
As to how long it lasts is not an exact science, YMWV depending on how much you use your phone.

This brand has been around for several years & is reasonably priced:
Diamond Defense
Diamond Defense™ is an innovative liquid coating that gives your screen superior scratch resistance to keep it looking like new. The formula creates a nano-thin, invisible layer of protection that modifies that surface of the screen — no peel-and-stick layer necessary! Description: Liquid...
whoosh.com
Spigen makes a similar product & is priced within a few dollars of the abovementioned protector.
You'll find less expensive on Amazon/eBay & you should be OK w/whichever you choose.
Yes and my s22 is f up but my old galaxy note 5 got no scraches without using any screen protector

There is not really any fix for this other than just changing the screen but only if you really want to change. Im sure these minor scratches wont really affect the integrity of the screen unlike major cracks or scratches. Thats why I always make sure to go with a good Screen Protector cause damages like these are irreversible.
Im using the Screen Protector from Gadgetshieldz which has self-heal so this heals the minor scratches. Ive been using this for a while now and got no need to change it soo far. You can probably just go with this cause they also have options to cover the whole device with these protectors including sides, back and camera. Ive noticed scuffs and scracthes on the back of the device after using good quality cases and these occur cause of the dust thats settling inside. This is also a problem when selling your device so I went with skins to protect all parts of my device.
The Full-Body protector takes care of these too!
There are days when I dont want to use a case so the skins I use provide a good grip too which gives me more confidence on a no-case day!

Hello All,
Can anyone suggest where can we get screen protectors for HTC touch cruise. I mean the protecter should cover not only the display but also the camera and notifications led's???
You should have 1 or 2 in the box. And you don't want it to cover the camera. The picture/video quality would be poor.

I had only one in the box and when i am trying to apply it, it didnt go of well. So, I want to remove it and apply a new one. Screen protector i am having which came in the HTC box, leaves holes for camera and notification led. Why we need to cover entire display is when we use the touch cube functioanility often ur fingers slips and it leaves finger spots there....
In the german forum they discuss about the same problem... nearly everybody is waiting for screen protectors from "BRANDO" They don't cover only the screen.

I second that! I have had BRANDO protectors on nearly all my PDAs and they NEVER got scratched on the screen or anything. The protectors are not cheap but worth it!
Brando replied to me they are going to ship the Cruise protectors within 2 weeks. So let's wait and see.
I'm in the same condition... I'm waiting Brando screen protector, it's the best!
I never owned a ppc before... For my TC is nothing too expensive Only the best.
a piece of plastic a small distant from the lense would work as
the evil opposite of another lense killing focus
if you didnt apply it ok then redo it, i took mine out like 3 times untill i installed it correctly, i washed it with soap to clear dust and stuff and re-applied, worked like a charm
I bought a protector from Veripart together with the Polaris. It has a cutout for the speaker on the top but not one for the camera, but it is so clear that it does not interfere with the camera (not visibly anyhow). I tried a photo before applying the protector and after under the same circumstances and I did not find any differences. Besides that it makes the lens easier to clean because it is now flush with the rest of the screen. I like it very much. I never use the supplied protectors with my phones. If you ever tried a Brando or a Veripart then you will know why ;-) . The protector covers the whole of the front of the phone, right until the edges of the device.

FYI, these do not cover the entire faceplate of the Polaris. They are just standard protectors (and not very good ones at that) sized to the touch screen.

I've been using the protector that came with the phone and I find that unless I keep it clean, the touch experience is not so great. Sometimes hard to get a smooth swipe. The glass on the screen however works well even when smudged. Is there a protector out there that works better? If not, I'm going bareback.

The screen protector that came in my package with the TC covers the whole dark-grey area above the soft buttons, and has a cut for the phone and the camera. Wiping is super easy, and cleaning too. I don't know what you guys are talking about
Hey everyone, just got a htc Desire, and loving it. I bought it off of someone and its an unbranded european version. I want to get a good screen protector for it preferably from HTC themselves, but their own branded one is only available in the UK from play.com and I'm in the US. So do you guys know of any great screen protectors I can find online?
Zagg invisible shield.
No Zagg please.
IT's too soft and thick, it's hard to apply. It's adhasive side coming out from it's edges and it' makes dirts to stick on it.
I'm using commuter case oem screen protector and it feels better.

I got one last week and know exaclty what you mean about the sides sticking. mine has pocket fluff stuck to the side. I thought it was fairly easy to apply and fits perfectly though.
I've just bought a cheap silicone case, and another zagg to put under it - so the fluff won't see the sides anymore!!
One word: BRANDO. Have been a great fan of Zagg for a long time; did try Brando once: will never go back! Incredibly clear, smooth as glass, they don't get sticky, not even after months, and they don't get any scratch on them. Simply awesome!
Brando Ultra Clear! probably the best screen protector out there..i have mine for 7+ months and only have some minor scratches.
Martin Fields is really good as well, but gets scratched quicker than brando.
I'm using Martin Fields for about 4 months and yea it does has a few scratches, but not noticeable.
However, the Brando maybe better and is cheaper.

I've had really hard luck with those: first of all i was pissed about the fact that they don't cover the entire screen surface...but the major flaw came in a few days: i started to notice a 1 inch violet/blue halo in the middle of the screen. At first i thought it was something greasy ended there when i applied it, so soon after i removed the protector and tried to clean it, and guess what? It wasn't dirt, it was just the screen protector "fading"! I still have to ask a refound, but i'm just too lazy i guess...in the while i'm using a universal film, but my brando ultra clear is already on its way
I use cheap ones from ebay, great fit, easy to apply and you get 6 in a pack for £1.20, was £1.12 last week when I bought some packs.

That's unlucky. I've not had any problems as such. In fact I don't even realise it's on most of the time. The selling point for me was the camera lens protector
Mine one has left about 1mm from the bottom, and a very very minimal gap (0.25-0.50 mm) around the other edges.
Better luck with brando (it does sound like an excellent product).

Have something that is quite the opposite to what you wrote. It's Martin fields screen protector.
It's stiff, thin, no adhesive, you can wash it in warm water (both sides), easy to apply and if you fail you can re apply it again and again and again

Promised to do a review on this screen protector, so paulo this one's for you. Haha. Well I've had this screen protector on for about 4 weeks now, and I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend it, especially for those on a budget. A $5.95 well spent.
Pros:
Dry application
Precise cut outs
Great touch responsiveness (Swyping with this bad boy is a breeze.)
No fingerprints
No smudges
Better visibility in sunlight
Looks sexy lol
Cons:
Took me 2 out of the 3 protectors to get it on right, or without bubbles. Maybe I'm just not good at that.
Screen quality degradation (This is expected with a anti-glare/matte screen protector. There is some pixelation, which is really noticeable on white backgrounds.)
You can but it HERE.

Thanks for the review. I already ordered mine and just wanted to check out some more images of it. Out of curiosity, what case are you using? Also is there a notice gap between the protector and the lip of the case? The first few images make it seem like it, but the rest make the gap appear small.

I'm guessing you are taking about the difference between this picture of the screen protector:
vs
Well there are two reasons.
1. I didn't apply the screen protector perfectly. You can also see the little bubbles created by dust left on the screen. So I took it off, and tried again.
2. Two different cases. I doubt this affects it, however, considering I switch the cases out per week and the gap between the screen protector and the case doesn't increase or shrink.
I have two cases. The white one the Mercury TPU Nexus 4 case(comes in many different colors), and the black one is the Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Nexus 4 case(also comes in different assortments).
I'm also using this screen protector and I love it too,great price ya can't go wrong with these. ????

I bought this screen protector 3 months ago but never used it, as it looks like a hassle to apply if it takes going through most of them to get one that is applied properly. I just kept the stock plastic protector on mine; maybe after that gets destroyed I will give it a try.

its pretty simple just be quick, and i would day do it in the restroom, less dust in the air. always works for me.
I've installed countless screen protectors for me and friends. For the wet ones, you definitely want to be in a steamy bathroom as that helps settle the dusts. The dry ones, need to be done quickly. You can slip a small piece of tape between the screen and the screen protector to grab some of the dust. The stickiness of the tape beats the static force created by the protector. Not sure of its technical name.
My silliest method was to put the phone in the middle, on top of a fan blowing air upwards. That way it created a space where dust will not be. It worked perfectly.

I mean, I guess there is. But to notice the bubbling you would have to nitpicking or looking in with a magnifying glass (not really). I'd say the bubbling on the side is about .25 cm from the edge. Really slight, and with my case on you can't notice it.

Does a screen protector detract from the looks? Is one needed? Which ones should we use?
I use one, can't tell difference to w/o. As this is one of the cheaper ones (6 pcs for 2 EUR) I think most of the offered ones are fine
Yeah I use one I got a 6 pack off amazon, nothing special just standard screen protector material and you cant even tell that its there. Probably gonna grab a tempered glass one here soon just for the hell of it.

Don't get the tempered glass protector from Amazon. They don't fit the full face of the watch. I have one. They leave like a little over .5mm all the way around. I'll take a pic if you want one.[

Yes, it is fantastic protection and relatively easy to just "plop" on.
Is there any real reason why on earth you need screen protector on watch?
Especially when there`s gorilla glass instead of usual.
It`s a wearable device that is mounted on wrist all day long, so there`s no risk of drop at all.

You can still bump your watch against a door or wall which could scratch the watch face. Happened to me with a few watches in the past. Screen protectors are more for scratches than drops anyhow . In the end it's a matter of taste vs peace of mind. No wrong answer here. Personally I always lean towards using one and all my devices still look new after tons of use.
Screen protector
I tried one on but took it off in five min. It was protruding above the frame and didn't feel natural.
It was also gathering dust around the edge quickly and took away from the aesthetics of the watch.
I'll just be careful in handling the watch and enjoy the beauty of the watch at all times, rather.
The regular old school ones I got off amazon work great and you cant even tell it's on thenwatch.
As far if you need one or not, that's just a matter of opinion, ive banged my Smartwatches (Gear 1, Gear S) off door knobs walking down my hall a few times or at work while rushing around, it makes your stomach turn lol, yes the glass is definitely resilient but it never hurts to add a safety layer as long as it keep the watches aesthetics, Lucky I haven't banged my S2 off anything and hope I never do, but at least my screen will be covered if I do lol
have anyone tried the full body skin protector ? im just curious, is it truly invisible or would it be annoying ?

I have this on my watch. I'm very happy with it.
I bought a tempered glass one from eBay, it fitted very well. But it did create the thinnest halo effect around the the edge. So I took it off.
Then thought, I don't put any protectors on any of my other watches and most are regular glass.
I got this tempered glass screen protector on aliexpress. Very happy with it - fits really well and is barely noticeable. I think I read somewhere that it would be slightly too small for the classic though.
I have supershieldz from amazon for last few weeks and I happy with it.
I bought this from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X2DG2I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Install was easy and I dont even know it is there. No loss in touch or responsiveness.
Got two tempered glass screen protectors off Amazon for about $10 each (Canadian). First one was tricky and had slight halo but that was my own fault. Took it off and tried again with my second one...perfect. No halo, can't even really tell it's on

I've started to notice that where my thumb scrolls up and down on the screen the coating must be wearing away because there is 2-3cm streaky bit , obviously only had the phone 2 months, should I take it back to Samsung or is there a decent spray out there that anyone could recommend, thanks
i would have recommended using a screen protector, but thats a little to late if you do get a new handset a screen protector should be fitted before even turning it on would be my advice

What have you been cleaning your screen with? You don't want to use any kind of Chemical or Alcohol cleaning liquids on phone. Best thing to use is eye glass cleaner that safe for all coatings. If it is safe for eye glass coatings it safe for your phone. Be sure to wipe it with a microfiber cleaning cloth and NEVER a paper towel or bathroom tissue.
I haven't used a screen protector on my S7 Edge, Note 8, S20U or my current S22U and never had a problem.
I use Zeiss Lens cleaning spray as it's safe for all eye glass coatings and a microfiber eyeglass cleaning cloth. I have used that for all my phones and it has never stripped off the coating.
But I guarantee if you are using chemical cleaners like Windex or Alcohol Wipes to clean your screen that will definitely strip off the coating over time. Again just buy something from the eye glass store that specifically states it's safe for use on all coatings.

What have you been cleaning your screen with? You don't want to use any kind of Chemical or Alcohol cleaning liquids on phone. Best thing to use is eye glass cleaner that safe for all coatings. If it is safe for eye glass coatings it safe for your phone. Be sure to wipe it with a microfiber cleaning cloth and NEVER a paper towel or bathroom tissue.
I haven't used a screen protector on my S7 Edge, Note 8, S20U or my current S22U and never had a problem.
I use Zeiss Lens cleaning spray as it's safe for all eye glass coatings and a microfiber eyeglass cleaning cloth. I have used that for all my phones and it has never stripped off the coating.

Thanks for the reply, I've only ever used a micro fibre cloth, nothing else, that's why it's strange that it's started to wear away, it's only where I use my thumb to scroll up and down I've never needed a screen protector on all my phones and they've always been fine

Yeah same here. Last phone I had the s20U came with a screen protector on it and I didn't even know it was on there. After couple months it looked like little chips in glass along edge of phone. Finally took it out of case and saw these was a film on there and peeled it off and viola screen was flawless again.
Anyway the S22 supposedly doesn't come with a sceeen protector but it couldn't hurt to look and see.

I've started to notice that where my thumb scrolls up and down on the screen the coating must be wearing away because there is 2-3cm streaky bit , obviously only had the phone 2 months, should I take it back to Samsung or is there a decent spray out there that anyone could recommend, thanks

I have the same problem on my screen, first phone ever it happens to me
Same here,. I bought the phone in February, when the line appeared, then they replaced my screen in July. Now after 2 months the line has reappeared (vertical) on new screen. Does Samsung have a manufacturing defect? Unbelivable....

+1 for the Fusso coating. I used it on my tempered glass screen protector for the S22U and it worked great. You probably need to re-coat it every few months but when you do the difference is crazy.
Could be defective. I had an iPhone 8 Plus that developed a patch that would get streaky just like you described. And it was only a week old!
