Ok, we all have a few scratches on our phones display, some worse than others, but wouldn't it be nice to have a display totally resistant to them. A diamond coating or something.
I know there are screen protectors, but who uses them.

They are luxury phones costing more than 1.5K USD... they make them in precious metals, and some models even come with diamonds. I rather buy new digitizers lol.
Synthetic sapphire would be the best choice, but it's not exactly cheap to manufacture. The iPhone 4 and Dell Streak are probably the closest we have right now to nearly scratch-proof screens.
What's wrong with screen protector?
I use one for my X10.
Cant speak about the iphones screen as I wouldnt touch an Apple product to save my life, but alot of newer phones have Corning's Gorilla Glass. That stuff is pretty bulletproof. Google it to find a list of devices that use it.
I've got two screen protectors on, the one that came with it and stuck on another not realising it already came with one.

It can be removed yes, but I've left both on, and after my brothers GF opened his toolbox the other week and spilling a lid full of screws all over it, I'm glad I did.

Not to flame you or anything, but what is your point of the statement? are you trying to look for help on choosing a screen protector? cuz people do use them
I removed the screen protector that came with the phone and the screen looks freakin' gorgeous without it, but at the same time, very vulnerable. I've bought mirror screen protectors from ebay; they're supersexy but at the same time superglossy and does not help at all when i'm looking at my phone in broad daylight. I've heard about ZAGG's screen protectors and I might try them out once my mirror screen protector wears off but they're quite pricey though Check out endagdet's post on torturing Dell Streak's screen too...it was very painful to watch but the outcome was great: http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/dell-streaks-gorilla-glass-screen-torture-tested-for-your-amus/
@junkk29: do you know where I can find a screen protector that has a rough feel to it? Made ideal for swyping texts. I think they are called anti-glare but the ones I bought were not anti glare (off of ebay).

To be honest, I have no clue besides the one that came with the X10. I use Swype on my X10 as well and the screen mirror screen protector does not help at all. It's nice but if your finger is moist or wet it can be a little sticky Try searching on the X10 accessories forum, you might find something there. Good luck
i'm kinda regret to take off my original scrn protector, should have just put the second one on top of it!!!

Yes it does and I guarantee you a 100% cuz I pulled it out myself. It's hard to notice it but if you look close enough (maybe with a magnifying glass lol) you'll see it around the corner. I saw pictures of it in this forums but i'm too lazy to look it up again. It's not easy to remove it and literally took me half an hour to get the corners out. Once you get the corners out you can just peel it off, it's quite tough but it doesn't leave any residue. If you're gonna get a screen protector i suggest you remove it too cuz i've heard from the seller that it messes with the touch screen responsiveness.
Picked up some low glare screen protectors on eBay and it's been a month without a single scratch! They are pretty tough, plus they resist fingerprints as well I am not sure I need to buy the 3 pack now... LOL!
I wish I knew who actually made them Cuz they are brilliant!
BTW, the original one is also on. It does not make a difference in responsiveness, in fact due to the surface of these protectors, it's actually even smoother to scroll or swype across the screen.

Anyone know if it possible to buy a replacement glass (only the glass)?
I wish to remove the screen protector, but if it get scratches it would be nice if I can buy a new glass and replace it myself.
If there's anyone selling that, the place to look for is ebay.
Why remove it? I tried the phone (did not get mine yet) in different stores and the screen could'nt be more responsive imo. with the pre-applied protector in one store and the bubbly protective film+pre-applied screen protector in the other and there was no problem even with all that applied.. so i dont see the point in risking your glass.. just my point of view.

Guys... did your x10 came with a prea-applied screen protector? Mine came with a prea applied screen protector but i can't seem to remove it. I'll post some pictures.
The screen protector is really hard to get going but once you got a corner it's easy to pull off.
Got no protector on my screen, no scratches at all and screen is much more responsive.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Why on Earth would anyone want to remove it? I've got the one that came with it and stuck another on that I got free with a case, and not lost any responsiveness at all, and as this phone cost me a few hundred pounds, the last thing I would want to do is lessen the protection of the screen.
the glass is the actual digitizer which is glued to the fascia of the phone, i cracked the glass on my phone and repaired it myself, digitizers are available from ebay for around £50 coming from honk kong. The quality of the digitizer is very good btw.
IMO the screen with the protector on was way less responsive, I don't understand why you need one, I've owned 2 iphones before this phone and used with no protectors, not had a single scratch on any, including my x10. Each to there own, but I just prefer to have no protectors on my phones.
I also don't use any cases either!

The OP is on about removing it, leaving it off, then forking out for a new screen if and when it inevitably gets scratched.
You guys just made my day! I had a big F*ing scratch at the center of my screen. Just found out I had a screenprotector! YEEY! its off now..
Need to get a new one!
Double posted?! WEIRD!
Has anyone found one?
I'd like to know how to get hold of a black screen so i can put it on my white x10.
Reduce the grubby look and give it a meaner look.
I just applied an official T-mobile screen protector for vibrant... Applied it well with no air bubbles... but when I turned my display on.. I saw that it makes the screen look really blurry and kind of pixelated because of poor quality plastic texture...
I also noticed that the plastic film that the vibrant came with was better quality because it was completely see through and it never worsened the quality of phone's display.
Does anyone else see this with T-mobile screen protectors???
Any recommendations on which one to buy?
I feel like T-mobile really failed at making a screen protector for such a brilliant display.
I always get screen protectors on Amazon. They are so much cheaper.
I really like the T-mo case for Vibrant though.
Get the realook screen protectors. They cover the whole entire screen and buttons, can't tell there is a screen protector, and feels like there is no screen protector on!
They are $10.99 I believe for 2 of them on eBay and Amazon.
What about not falling for the screen protector scam these company are running, You dont need a screen protector for this phone, and anything you put on this S amoled screen will lower the quality of the screen, Remember you are applying a film of something that will have an impact. Go Naked its gorgeous.

How can you say that... There is No mention of Vibrant having a gorilla glass! On Euro Galaxy S model it does say that it has a gorilla glass protecting the screen.
Plus many users on xda said that they got tiny scratches from having the phone in their pocket.. without anything else in it! So there goes to show you still need a screen protector to protect from salt on finger tips and sand in pockets.
I keep my phone in my pocket with keys, coins and any number of other things and I do it naked (but that's besides the point)
I also saw a video on YouTube in Japanese where the guy was trying to scratch it with razor blades, keys, dropping it and various other tortures. I wish I had the link. Anyway, I agree that this phone does not need a screen protector and you will only be degrading the visual impact to some degree. With that said I know that many people just feel better about doing so.

There were several articles posted in the last week or so (Engadget, Gizmodo, Androidguys) about how it turns out that gorilla glass was indeed used on the Galaxy phones.

I'm with sano614, I bought and have had the Realook protectors from Day 1 and they are crystal clear, so much so that you can't tell you even have it on, but the protection is there. It's also great that for the price you get two of them. Here's a link to some customer reviews on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/REALOOK-T-Mobile-Samsung-Vibrant-Protector/product-reviews/B003WL4W6M
Whatever you choose, put something on it. You paid good money for the phone.

I could bet that these people think they scratched it as I thought mine was scratched SEVERAL times but it was just weird smudges or something that looked like a scratch. After thorough wiping the scratch turned out to be an illusion. My glass is perfectly FLAWLESS with no special treatment whatsoever.
Take it for what it's worth. Maybe I've just been extremely lucky.
Went through 3 different screen protectors and by far Realook is the best. I can't even tell it's even on there.
Realook is amazing, I have had quite a few compliments on it after I tell them there is a screen protector because they don't realize one is there. +1 realook
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
+1 for Realook ! Like everyone here already mentioned, you can hardly feel its presence after you apply it and you know you are protected.
I've used Tmobile's screen protector. It gives the display a scattered rainbow like look. The only good thing was the matt finish was very less reflective and less prone to finger prints. I replaced it with Realook and I'm loving it.
I also have used screen protectors religiously. This time I had zagg, **** was too sticky feeling so I ripped it off after some friends said they go naked on there evos, n1s and incredible, so, I said hell, I never put it in my pocket with anything anyways.
Well, Its just sooooo much better without one. Ive yet to get a scratch either and even dropped it in between the seats of the car and it hit all the way down. One guy up above mentioned it looking like theres scratches but were wiped away, Ive also had those and thought, "oh crap I got a scratch," but realized it wiped right off and my screen also is flawless still.
Gorilla glass or not this bad boy is tough... Just reserve one pocket for your phone only. My right is only my phone and my left is everything else. Pretty soon it will become second nature and you wont even need to think what pocket to put **** in...
GO naked, screw protectors.
Honestly, if realook wasn't this amazing, then I would have definitely gone naked since all other screen protectors seem to take away from the Super AMOLED screen. But to all honesty, realook is awesome. It seriously doesn't feel like there's anything on the screen once installed.
The vibrant may have gorilla glass, but why not invest $10 bucks to protect a $500 phone anyways?
I don't run a screen protector and haven't had any problems with the vibrant or my old G1. I do keep my vibrant in my old G1 pouch case though when its in my pocket.

I like these guys - http://www.ghost-armor.com/ they have a kiosk in the malls near me and they do a much better job of applying SP's than I can.
If I were going to do my own I'd buy something from Zagg and put it on...
Zagg = Sticky! Not good.
My wife has been using Zagg stuff for a few years, and I always hated the 'sticky' element. Smoothing dragging is impossible with their product.
A few months ago there was a convo on here, and the guy from Phantom Skinz popped in. I grabbed their Carbon-Fiber skin (came with 2 screen protectors), and I have been _Extremely_ happy. People often comment on the skin (and I have a custom metamorph for nearly the entire phone - which throws people off as well), and the screen protector isn't sticky at all, and has held up very well under my abuse.
Couldn't recommend them enough.
Like everyone else Realook is the best out there, I promise it is like is not even there, sometimes I even forget I have it on.
I have 3 Vibrants with Realook and they are virtually invisible.
I tried them all... errr, ok I only tried the store bought tmo brand on my Vibrant, but nothing compares to the "Realook" brand. Ive had BSE and ZAGG on previous phones but the realook is the ONLY one that has ever looked 100% invisible like the screen is naked. This in itself makes it worth every penny considering how important it is to NOT cover our amazing AMOLED screen. And not to mention that the darn thing practically installs itself. Ive never seen such a ridiculously easy SP application. I remember thinking to myself, "crap I could have thrown the SP at the phone and it would have installed just fine" LOL, I'm not kidding, I really did think this...
Realook hands down.... period!
Another vote for Realook and big vote against Zagg. There are people who swear by them and say everyone else is installing them wrong, but mine was terrible. Luckily they do have a 100% refund policy
Steinheil's are also pretty good.
With either Realook or Steinheil, get the crystal clear kind. Can't tell it's there at all.
Another vote for Realook. I've tried a ton of screen protectors, and these are by far the best. I cannot even tell there is a screen protector on.
And the price is good. I think I paid $10.99 with free shipping for 2 of them. They sell them themselves on eBay and Amazon.
I was a skeptic but tried the RL due to the popularity on here. It is very good. I would recommend splitting the costs with another XDA user. Also, while it is a good SP, I still do not believe one is needed, and it WILL add a lot of finger smudges.
I've tried many screen protectors, believe it or not, I like the generic universal screen protectors from tmo that you cut to size yourself.
has worked great!
I vote for Martin Fields, barely visible. Only problem is you see fingerprints when the screen is off. (no biggy)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I vote for REALook, not visible what so ever. Finger prints though are worse than ive seen on any other screen protector, at least I think so. But it cleans well and like I said its like the no screen protector real look, hence the name.
The best I have seen are the "Cellet" brand from Frys (saves shipping too).
I've used the real look ones, the cellet are a bit clearer.
Yes I know....you just have to see for yourself.
I don't have a screen protector on, I like just having gorilla glass. Unless you carry around an open blade in your pocket I see no need. I've TRIED to key my screen and that didn't even scratch it
I agree with the previous poster, unless you travel with a pocket full of diamonds the Gorilla glass will obviate the need for a screen protector.
I disagree with both previous posters. Ive seen plenty of gorilla glass scratches to date, one in fact got terribly scratched from top to bottom and the upset owner never identified what the culprit was, all he found in his pocket next to his phone was small amounts of lint. I dont care how hard this glass is, its going to stay pristine and Im not going to take the chance with even the smallest scratch. I may be extra extra careful with this phone, but if I decide to go naked that will be the same day that this phone decides to fly out of my hand and onto the concrete below face first... No freggin way thank you very much. lol
I have a Droid X with gorilla glass and thought I was being careful.
I did get a couple of very small scratches in the glass, so I wound up using a protector.
The reallook ones are very good.

The factory screen protector is good! Just leave it on the screen
I can say that the screen doesn't scratch that easily, but in my case, it scratched when i placed it inside my shirt's pocket. Apparently the shirt's button did it. The price for replacing the screen around my parts is 60 euros.
I had the factory screen protector for 10 months. Then one of the corners started to peel. so I took the protector off and used it for a few weeks, decided that it wasn't slick enough and I had to clean it all the time, tried that cannuba wax for phones. I spent the money for the Zagg protector. Great packaging, lots of lubricant to spray on fingers and protector allowing you to slide it around until it's right, micro-cleaner cloth and composite squeegee with a grip and lifetime replacement warranty. It works well, no bubbles, and a sort of spongy feel to it.

you probably still have the factory screen protector on... look at the corner, you'll see it.
The actual screen in mineral glass, and there is a video somewhere on here of a guy with a knife going at it and it not scratching.

The original screen protector started to peel off after just a few days. I have used it without protection for almost a year now and haven't seen one single scratch.

I wanted to get rid of the screen protectors a few month ago as I was sick of using my ipod touch which had a normal glass screen and then using the crappy x10s.
Well what a mistake that was. The x10 comes with two protective layers so when you think you've taken off the screen protector, go one more til you get to the glass feel.
Big problems for me though, the screen became strange and almost too sensitive. When using the launcher and scrolling it would go crazy, unlocking the phone became a mission.. big mistake. I ended up ordering in another new screen protector as It was hardly useable
On the other hand, the screen did look a thousand times better. Alot brighter and clearer. I would have been without the screen protector for about a week and discovered a small scratch which isnt viewable at all but I did see it. So I would be careful if your planning on going without it.
If there was a way tweak the screens 'sensitive feel' and correct that I would love to go back. Maybe one day it will happen.
The X10 has so much potential and in theory should be capable of doing so much more... but sadly it was made by Sony, you know the rest.
Okay I thought i'd make this quick thread to help you guys out. Some of you Xperia users don't realize Sony Preinstalls this screen protector or should i say "Shatter Glass" on all of their devices. Is this good? Simple answer, NOT. AT. ALL. When i took the shatter glass off i noticed an increase in brightness and the phone was more vibrant and so i order this Nu-Clear Screen protector off Amazon And it is the best screen protector I have ever had. It is so smooth and feels like its not even there and the phone is just as vibrant with it as it is without it. This screen protector only cost $3 with free shipping when you sign up for Prime on Amazon which i suggest you do because its free for a month and ou cn just cancel it before that.

To take off that preinstalled shatter glass i sugest ou use something thin and sharp because it's on there pretty damn good. I used a razor blade and started picking at the bottom left of the phone right by the back button and had it off in no time.
Now when installed the Nu-clear screen protector clean the phone with some windex and a paper napkin then wipe off the phone with the microfiber cleaning cloth and blow away all the dust. Then when applying a screen protector i suggest you peel it off just a little so you can align it up with the top of the phone. Once lined up start pulling back the tab little by little while pushing a card(credit card or whatever) to make sure no air bubbles pop up.
This video pretty much shows you what i mean.

Hope i helped because that preinstalled shatter glass was just annoying and was a magnet for scratches!

So there is a layer that comes installed on the phone already? Nice to know I can remove it because I've scratched it up pretty good and I've only had the phone about two weeks. I haven't even really done anything to scratch it either, so I was actually a little upset when I started noticing them.

Be careful, if you remove that layer you need to put on some other sort of screen protector. If you don't you'll notice that if your hands are moist at all the touch screen won't work properly.

maybe its just me, but i got the impression by the OP, that it was more of a commercial for Nu-Clear, Amazon, and whatever that website is he mentioned at the bottom, more than anything else.... lol

I've used two types, the one that came with the otterbox encasement, which turned out horribly.. had a bubble within the screen protector almost immediately, but that could've been my fault, but i had to re apply it several times, which only seemed to multiply the air trapped between the screen and protector. And I used the standard AT&T screen protectors, which are amazing, they're thick, anti smudge, clear, and since they're pretty thick, they don't bubble at all, really easy to apply too. but it's like 16 bucks for 2.
.. and i just realized that op might just be advertising.
me too man, i smell a salesman.. hehe
I bought the phone and shop gave me a cheap screen protector... now I have smudges of fingerprints all over (oily hands).. but then, still better than naked.
Guess I'll change to matte (anti-fingerprint) type after this. Anyone using matte? Is it good on xplay?
It comes with a protector on it, there really is no need to replace it. My screen is perfectly bright with it on. I clean my screen off a few times a day with a little cloth, looks brand new after every wiping. (im also SUPER careful with my phone, and I hate fingerprints, OCD)
It isn't even a screen protector it's ah shatter glass

Just want to clarify that :>>>> the touch screen is whether made of Glass or Plastic? In case of Glass, it's no need to add a screen protector and remove the pre-install screen protector can improve the screen quality and touch response.
Pls advise.
Good screen protector
I purchased a pair and its fantastic so far. Instillation is a bit of a problem if you are impatient like me.
I recommend, its cheap and reliable. plus you get 2 for the low price of 3 bucks

It's a glass screen, but not gorilla glass like on the iPhone. Hence the pre-installed shatterproof film
