I lost my leather case and, as a result, my screen has gotten somewhat dirty, scratched, and scuffed. I would like to try to repair it but wasn't sure the best way to do so. I believe I have some Novus polish in the storage room outside, that should, I think, take care of all the minor scratches but I'm a little leery about damaging the touchscreen from rubbing on it. Is there a better way to go about fixing this problem? Also what case and screen protector would you guys recommend to prevent this problem from reoccuring?
I've seen plenty of posts about cracking the screen from dropping but nothing like this...so far..?
The other day I had my phone in the side pocket of my car door. When I opened it somehow the phone slipped out and fell hardly 30cm on to the ground...landing on its screen. I couldn't believe it when everything was fine other than the glass covering the camera lens had shattered...
I'm guessing this is an insurance claim unless it can be seen as a defect
Has anyone else managed to do this or was it just very very unlucky...maybe the glass can just be removed completely?
Hello,
After some day of using I've noticed that some areas of the glass seemed to get dirty more than other and always with the same shapes.
If you clean the glass they almost disappear, to return back when you touch the screen.
Someone sayd that can be a problem of the oilophobic protection that doesn't work fine in all the glass, does anyone know anything about?

Might be the anti-fingerprint coating rubbing off. I've read of that happening to people.
The oleophobic coating does wear off - some sooner than others.. Same issues as the iphone 3GS and 4
Best idea is just to clean it, get a screen protector, and be done with it
I had that problem like 3-4 days after getting my device, they where not in the same area like yours , but I went to Best Buy and got it replaced.
That happened to mines too, I was wondering what the hell it might be. I had my spots in all four corners of the display.
The general consensus, to my knowledge, is just that the oleophobic coating used to help prevent finger oils from smudging the screen is just plain ****ty and has a tendancy to wear off rather quickly.
that sucks. screen protector time.

Maybe you're right, although it's not the way i planned to solve it. :\
Thank you all, anyway.
mines messed up to. I just try not to think about it.
One tip, don't apply any pressure when wiping your phone... it will mess up the coating easily, and then that spot will always show up when you get finger oils on it.
is this issue covered under the warranty?
I've had my Nexus 4 for well over a month now and I'm just noticing that there's a significant portion of the screen that gathers fingerprints like a detective agency. Far as I know, there hasn't been any mention of the oleophobic coating easily wearing off on the N4, but that's what seems to be happening. The area that's lost it's coating is easily visible when I breathe on the glass to fog it up. I have never used chemicals to clean the glass, only microfiber cloth. Never spilled anything on it. Never used a screen protector on the glass either. My skin oils aren't acid as I'm not an alien.
My question is ... has anyone else seen this issue? And are the after-market coating sprays a viable solution?
I haven't got any solutions for you, but I think the same thing's happening to mine. I've only had it for a few weeks as well, so it's a little bit disappointing at this stage. I would love to know if anyone else has any suggestions. I'll try and get a picture of it.
Guys did you experienced the same problem? Is it also present in white too?
Nope. Got white one and everything is nice.
But i take off the case when im home, so dust wont conglomerate much.
