Damn keys...left the phone in the same pocket....now i have a huge mark in the middle of the screen.
Any ideas where can I buy a new screen to change it
thx to all
That sucks. I thought the screen was suppose to be scratch proof.
Someone did mention cnn.cn for nexus one parts.

That should be what you're looking for.
Cool...nice to know that it can be replaced. I've got a scratch also...but it's in the black part top left corner...so doesn't interfere.
so i guess that scratchtest vid by the eyelash dude was just BS? i had a feeling it was too good to be true.

As soon as I got my phone I tried scratching it with knives and keys but yeah came out with the same outcome as eyelash man. However a few days ago I noticed a scratch in the lower corner of my screen don't know how I managed to scratch it.. Must have been my wolverine claws

That's just the digitizer or the glass that's exposed. There is no possible way you scratched the physical LCD.

jackie from seinfield?
it's scratch-proof but it doesn't mean it's scratch resistant.
I once scratched a glass phone screen using the slightly exposed chip on a credit card. If it's loose in your pocket with the phone then be careful, as if it doesn't scratch the screen it works like a cheese knife and removes the rubbery coating.
Probably not such an issue for USA users; last time I was over there you didn't have a chip-n-pin system.

Hey everyone. I read a couple forums and saw a few people wanted to know if the phone was scratch resistant. So, I did a test. Enjoy

dude, seriously?????? even the iPhone is scratch proof, most newer high end phones are scratch proof like that.
The doubt starts! haha. My iphone 3gs was just as scratch resisitant...at least the screen was........ the back is another story. In my second vid you can see, no protector on the screen. Hope that clears it up. =)

I think more phones are going towards the scratch proof screens, the Cliq might have not had it, but I believe the motorola Droid does. I think eventually most devices will have scratch proof screens.

i actually just ordered a full body armor from bestskinsever because i like the feel of it, and in case the phone is dropped. It would still be recommended to get a screen protector/invisible skin in case if it's dropped or anything like that

Absolutely. I had an iPhone 3gs that I sold to get my Nexus One, it had a hairline scratch not from my pockets with keys and change, but from it being dropped one time. =)
man i am impress and gracious you actually made this video thanks
my friend dropped his iphone on concrete and it put a big scratch on the screen. A screen protector helps
So we have Gorilla glass?
I own my HD2 for 3 days now.
I have one simple question and I hope that more users experience this.
If I slide my finger to the right of the screen, to the end, I feel the side of the HD2. If I slide my finger to the left, the display goes over in the rest of the HD2.
At the bottom of the screen, it's the other way around. There I can feel a little edge on the left side.
Other users experience this?
did you drop it? by the looks of the pictures I've seen where they take apart a HD2, the screen is held in place by the rubber sides..
it's normal...99% of the hd2 was not been totally flushed with sides which is a rubber..
yes i have it too.
Well, in that case, mines' exceptionally well built. It's totally flushed with the glass. Sorry to put that out. I just love mines!

*my english is not that good haha*
So it's normal that you feel the rubber on one side ? Whilst de other side is straight with the glass itself?

Same here. Maybe 1/2 to 1/4 of a mm below the rubber, but perfectly straight all the way round.

No, no tilted screen, its exactly the same all the way around, totally flush with the rubber.
Mine has this flaw, but it this so minor that I had never noticed it. I suggest get over it, it's not a big deal.

Evo 4g scratch test
I suppose I should put in the disclaimer that the phone is being returned to sprint because the screen has risen up from the bezel, and that is the only reason that I did the scratch test.
I forgot to mention that I did the same thing to the back camera, but it lasted all of 2 seconds and it scratched.
For the life of me I can't figure out why they would not use the same glass as the screen.
Nice to see the screen toughness.
I'd be surprised if any of those objects DID scratch the glass, seeing as how glass is harder than most metals.
What you have to REALLY look out for is abrasive materials like sand. This applies to all owners of devices with glass screens. That stuff will leave your screen looking horrible.

That's a bit strange; keys aren't very sharp to begin with, so how would they scratch a glass screen? If anything, a trip to the beach is going to be much scarier than carrying your keys along with your Evo in the same pocket.
You must smoke more crack than Jimmy Crackhead to be taking your phone to the beach.

Sand, dirt, and a mixture of crap in your pocket is more likely to scuff the screen than anything else. Hence, I always recommend cloth pouches for touchscreen phones.

Thanks I've been getting sick of telling people that it doesn't need a screen protector.
It is still a good idea to get a screen protector on your phone.
It's scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
Having the same issue as you Roman, along with the light bleed from the button below the screen. Talking to my company rep now so I can get it replaced.

Guys i've read somewhere that the note 4 screen can get easily scratched!
I Dont use screenprotector but i didnt see any scratches on my phone just yet.
Therefore what you read is not true.

I don't use screen protectors either and my screen has no scratches. The metal frame is the one that gets scratched really easy.

I use a tempered glass screen protector, so I couldn't comment on how durable the screen is. I do find that the metal rim could be scratched by a feather though!

It's Gorilla Glass 3.Its going to have the same scratch protection as every other flagship phone around at the moment.
U mean if other device have scratch samsung note 4 will be thesame? That means its prone to scratches? Omg!

I'm saying it uses the industry standard toughened glass that all other flagship phones use at the moment.The screen is no more prone to scratching than any other phone.
I know it should theoretically be the same as other similar phones, but I feel that it has scratched easily. Same conditions as previous phones, but in a month I already have more scratches on my screen than I ever did on my Nexus 4 or 5. Grr.
Otterbox defender on mine with screen protector popped out. Been doing that since the iphone 3g
I got some few scratches after 3 weeks of use. (Only visible under strong light and when u really want to see them tho)

Phone is more than a month old. Just send it to get fixed under warranty?
Wait, is that the factory installed protective plastic sheet? Aren't we supposed to just rip that off the back? Mine wasn't perfect so I immediately yanked it, though I left the edge and front ones on.

I'm quite sure it would easily qualify for repair / replacement under warranty. Did you buy insurance? It could accidentally get run over by a truck... Just sayin.
