if u have been using ur phone without a screen protector like i did, u will notice that the coating of the the screen got several scratches all over that can only be seen in odd angles under a bright light........ is anyone else experiencing this or is it just me ?? !!!
i have got a dozen of fine scratches all over my screen........is there anything i can do about it ??
No screen protector, no scratches here. Have you tried to vigorously clean the areas with scratches? I thought I had a fine scratch a few days ago, but it cleaned off
yeah i tried to clean them off but in vain
they are small fine scratches in the coating, and some are long ones beside the speaker
i found out that the coating is highly scratchable which defeats the purpose of a gorilla glass
and if i use a SP on this beautiful screen it defeats the purpose of the coating too
im just thinking of leaving it as it is and when it looks really bad to remove the coating !!
unless there is something else i can do !!
anyone else experiencing same problem ?
is there any solution for this problem....AKA fixing oleophobic coating scratches ?

I havnt got a screen protector on mine, but always keep it in my pdair case. Its still unscratched, not even the fine scratches you mentioned. Im actually waiting for my screen protector to arrive (in about 2 weeks time) so hopefully it stays this way.
Anyway you should try keep it in a pouch, away from sharps like sand and stone jewellery. Eg, womens diamond earrings will scratch your screen.
It is RULE for any portable screen based devices to NOT BE TOUCHED until screen protector placed on the device.
Not trying to sound rude in anyway (don't like scratches either), even if Gorilla glass is break resistant, it can still a scratched just like ant other material.
I guess your going to have to wait until repair parts start becoming available online for you to buy a replacement glass.
For phones with oleophobic coating, yes there will be fine scratches after a while only noticeable at weird angles and in bright light like you mentioned.
My Nexus S and every other nexus S I've seen has it (except brand new ones) and I'm sure the SGS2 is similar.
You just have to ask yourself, what's the point of the oleophobic coating if you put a screen protector over it?

im pretty sure if u examined ur screen under bright light at some odd angles u will notice fine scratches out there, i have been really careful with my phone and still i got like 8 fine scratches in the coating, it seems that the coating is highly scratchable which defeats the purpose of the gorilla glass which is scratch resistant
You know what a good solution is? Um using a screen protector....

even if i got a new screen it will get scratched, the problem is not with the glass, i have been very careful, the coating is just highly scratchable, im thinking of removing the coating with some chemical dissolvent later when it really looks bad

yes exactly, the coating is there to protect the screen from oil and smudges, but it is highly scratchable which deafeats the purpose of a gorilla glass which is scratch resistant, so now i should put a screen protector to protect the coating from getting scratched, which in turn defeats the purpose of the coating as it will become totally useless !!!!
i think we shud just remove the coating at some point using some chemical dissolvents, as i find no point of keeping it under a screen protector anyway :S
I just scratched my screen. It was in the same pocket as my coins, and now, I am regretting trusting gorilla glass™
How do I remove the scratches?
I had one scratch 2 but after a month disapered.... I think it's normal xD
scratches??? how do you got this? I tried just today to scratch the phone with a money and with a very pointed key, to demostrate to a frind the resistance of gorilla glass, and the screen passed excellently the proof, sure that your model has the gorilla glass? maybe in some countries is sold without the GG
I found this thread and thought it might be useful to you:

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.
Before some blighter on a motorbike nicked my G2, I noticed it had a terrible tendency to get scratched on the screen. Just very small ones, but very noticeable close up.
Has anyone else got this problem?
I also noticed a few hairline thin scratches on my screen. That's why I know have a screen shield on
