I don't use one and haven't needed one.
Maybe if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your keys, or like dialing with the point of a bayonet....otherwise I see no need.

okej thanks m8 do u have nay scratch?
This has been thoroughly discussed in the accessories section.
I have the Zagg Invisible Shield and i like it. You can't notice it on the screen exept if there is sun like a lot of sunlight on it, but you do feel like a bit of a plastic everytime you tuch the screen, i mean it is not that smooth to the feel, but the phone registers your touch every time with no problem.
I use one I got from bestskinsever.com (I think), its great. Takes a little getting used to the texture as you're obviously not touching bare glass anymore but it definitely does the job well, no discolouring or marks on my phone since using it
Why use a Display Shield when you have a Gorilla Glass onboard?
To be, or not to be: that is the question!
you don't need a screen shield
the glass is harder than the shields
i tried to scratch it with keys and it just can't be scratched
a firend of mine did it. and why not be on the safe side if you can?
havent used a screen protector since i bought the phone about 8 months ago
i havent got any visible scratch on the screen. not even under the sun
maybe when i use a microscope, then yes, but mmm.. im not going to
Had mine bare for 8 months as well and the screen still looks perfect, and trust me I'd notice any significant blemishes. Just the other day I wiped it clean and looked under bright light and could only see a couple of near-microscopic scratches.
A shield would ruin the feel IMO. I just keep out in its own pocket and hold it tight.

I prefer having one than not too... I had one so far and know that i removed i see i'd rather have one on for extra protection. After all Gorilla glass can be scratched too (although it's not easy to scratch it). I'm on the "better safe than sorry" side but for others who are very careful with the phone i would just suggest a case!
It is not neccesary for scratches but it may help to protect the screen from shattering when you drop it..

the force that is needed to scratch this glass would also scratch it past one of the screen shields
screen shields are useless for this phone, they just make it look uglier... and in some cases like zaag they also add a rubbery feel which ruins the smooth experience
I've had mine in my pocket with a hand full of screws an no scratch on the display

to be honest it's unnecessary but for me it's annoying to wipe my screen everytime it gets dirty, and with a screen protector it doesn't smudge as easily
I took off my screen protector and now have a scratch. Its only visible if you switch off display and see the screen under a bright light. The back cover really needs some protection cause its a scratch magnet.
Gorilla Glass is resistant to everyday scratches, like from dust particles and carrying it in your pocket and things like that. No screen is resistant to high force impact.
I've had my Galaxy for over a month now and the display glass is still pristine (and I use it in differrent environments)! I had a Desire which was durable to some extent as well, but I managed to scratch its screen somehow. This phone? No problem whatsoever.
The plastic casing, however... the back cover has visible "signs" of usage
Strangely enough I have had some mixed experiences with gorilla glass.. My own galaxy GT-i9000 went 2 weeks and the screen was fine.. then i decided my fingers had grubbed it up a little too much.. took my cleaning cloth for my glasses and went to work only to find i had basically put hairline scratches over the whole screen.. Not terrible mind you but noticeable under bright lights or on low screen brightness..
On the other end of the scale I convinced a friend to get the galaxy s also.. Walking down a dirt road, he tripped while holding the phone and it slip maybe 5 meters down the dirt.. not a single scratch.. the plastic was a bit tarnished though from bouncing around.
Hey guys,as title says(kind of anyway),I've had enough of the oleophobic coating on the SGS2.Fingerprints stay on screen no matter(I have very oily skin,unfortunately) and it's not any better than my Desire HD for that matter.Not that it bothers me for that,but it SCRATCHES like hell.I already have more fine scrathces on my GS2 after 2 weeks than on my DHD after 7 months.So I want to remove the oleophobic coating.
Now,I know it's done somehow by cleaning the screen using certain cleaning stuff,but what cleaning stuff?Can I use a window cleaner or something?And should I wipe it with a fiber cloth?
Thanks guys!

some one said he used polish liquids
i recommend liter fluid
OP, take my advice , do NOT do it! You think the coating is not helping, wait till you remove it! It will be 100 times worse, literally!
If you do decide to rid the screen of the coating - I succeeded (on SGS1) with Chlorine toilet bowl cleaning liquid, but be very careful to not get it inside speakers/mikes. All the scratches remained though, mine were in the glass, not the coating.
You want that coating on there. Just get a screen protector and maybe a matte one if the finger prints bother you.
Damn,I hate screen protectors...
KreoXDA,mine are most probably not on the glass itself.I can't feel them with my fingernail(And I have long fingernails on my right hand-classic guitar player anyone? ) like I could with such scratches on other phones.Anyway,I'll see if I can find some good screen protector.All I've used just crapped all over my touchscreen experience.I'd try Zaggs,but guess what!NOT available in Greece!I''m losing my patience here...
ZAGGS are the WORST for sensitivity!!, STAY AWAY

Yeah...Well,I found Zaggs(they even came to Greece...Oh well!) but I cannot find Steinheils.What about Belkin?They have a matte overlay that I think would be nice.
Also,what do you mean that Zaggs are the worst for sensitivity?Is it harder to select something on the screen with a protector on?
Thanks anyway pal!
zaggs are the thickest screen protectors on the market!, they ruin the touchscreen experience, they DO block fingerprints well though. they also have the 'orange peel' effect on them.
woops, the SGP steinheil ones arent available *yet*

When I got burgled the police said finger prints actually very difficult to pickup because finger tips don't have sweat glands. Relies on someone touching their face or hair or rubbing their palms together. This its not meant to be pointed comment but as you offered a reason, Try doing less of that

Thank you for the heads up though.Finally I found cops usefull!
My advice: polish your face often .
What i do is clean the screen with my shirt so now and then. Some days its worse then others...
Can I ask how you guys manage to scratch your screen? I've got *very* long nails (I'm a girl ), never bother with screen protectors and I've yet to scratch a screen (HD2 stayed pristine for over 18 months, so is the S2 after a month) and shock horror, I don't always put my phone in a case before flinging it in my handbag though it's usually in a separate pocket... As for fingerprints, well a wipe on my jeans or t-shirt usually takes care of that.

Guys hands tend to have more dirt (from putting their hands on the bench, on the ground or at the beach). As a result, there will be one or two tiny sand particles which then scratches the screen when they use the phone.
here is links to Steinheil protectors..enjoy..

did you try alcohol and windex?
alcohol will remove the oleophobic coating, but very slowly. you'll end up with a haze.
i used meguiar's scratchx 2.0 to remove a scratch, not realizing there was a coating. result was a hazy ring where i had removed the coating.
tried rainx, with improved the slick feel but also caused more of the haze effect (alcohol). ended up using scratchx to remove the whole coating, using a flashlight to check, and putting a realook protector on. luckily the result is fantastic.
that said, don't remove any coating unless you really really have to. it doesn't seem like it but it is way better at preventing smudges than just glass.

A good friend of mine is a dermatologist. You and/or the cops are wrong. Maybe they tell that story to everybody so they don't get their hopes to high.
You can test for youself though. Wash you hands with antibacterial soap and dry them with and air handdryer. Hold your hand steady for 10 minutes without touching anything and then see i you'll leave prints on you phone
I have dropped the phone quite a few times, and I think the stock screen protector is doing an amazing job at preventing it from scratching or shattering.
Here's the question though.. would taking off the screen protector improve the screen image quality? Especially when looking at it from angles.. hmm..
Surprising that the shatter guard is helping prevent scratching for you. Most people find that the guard scratches far more easily than the naked screen. Yes, screen color contrast/quality does seem to improve with it removed, as well as its ability to register touch inputs. Be aware that if you remove the guard, you risk a higher chance of the screen shattering when dropped.
i still have it on. Even though it has a billion scratches, I DON"T CARe
Don't remove it, it's a vinyl sheet to prevent glass shattering when dropped, i had issues from day 1 with it off, it's like a bad omen, the following happened in order on different days:
1. Scratched more easily (for me) i.e. keys
2. Registered touches at the corners more
3. Dropped and slid across floor, more scratches
4. Cracked screen when it jumped out of my pocket onto a concrete floor
5. Phone laughed at me
I took mine off because it's super thin plastic. I suggest getting after market screen protectors. I got an 8 pack for about $10 and it's thicker plastic

I tried to put the one from the box on, not realising it already had one on. I couldn't do it without getting bubbles in it. Now I know why (It wasn't alcohol after all - maybe). I'd love to take it off to see the difference but I can't find the other one to replace it.

Nice, thanks.. from reading that thread, the consensus seems to be that the screen quality noticeably improves when it's removed.
It's pretty much expected that any additional layer on the screen will change it's properties. For some it's an advantage - for example, using a matte scratch guard will reduce nasty glare. In the play's case, NOT using a guard seems to improve brightness and feel because of the mineral glass vs. plastic film.
Ive been using the play good about a week now and was having touch screen sensitivity issues(when dragging my finger across more than an inch or so of screen space, it would stop registering the touch input as though I lifted my finger up, unless I pressed really hard). Took the stock screen protector off with a pocket knife today and IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference. Not so much in screen quality or brightness but w/o it, the sensitivity issues are gone.
So if anyone's having touch input problems I'd definitely recommend taking off the screen protector

Anyway, I've been having sensitivity issues with the keyboard. I'm a pretty fast typer and Swiftkey does a great job correcting my errors. When I type with this phone (R800x), it doesn't register every keystroke. It seems like some kind of bleed together and cause havoc. I actually put another screen protector over the stock one not knowing there was one beneath it. Have people noticed improved sensitivity taking this one off?
I'm used to screen protectors from all my other phones (always use Skinomi Techskins), but I've never had this problem. Is it that the screen isn't that sensitive? Or is my problem magically going to go away once I take it off?
Just wanted to know if anyone else had a problem with the S-pen scratching their screen. The tip on mine is very sharp and after looking at my screen in daylight, its got hundreds of scratches all over.
I've had loads of phones and have only ever managed to get 1 or 2 scratches on them, nothing like what I have now. Anyone else have this problem?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
If you have been to the beach or somewhere sandy, that could be a problem. Have sand or grains of dirt in your pocket is often the cause.
My S-Pen has neither a sharp nor a very hard tip. It's normal polymer. Maybe you have a thin layer of fat on your screen and the S-Pen is "scratching" that or like already posted you had sand in your pocket.
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000 mit Tapatalk 2
Definitely s-pen would not create scratches. Material used in the tip is lighter than material used in Corning glass. May small dust particles may have dragged along when you use s-pen. Whenever use S-pen...just wipe the screen once and use, doing so will avoid scratches.
Still if you feel that the culprit is your S-pen, take a 2000 grit sand paper (widely used for automobile polishing..never go with lower grit!) keep it on glass and roll the tip of the pen gently without high pressure for a minute. This will polish the tip and no more scratches.

This is pretty common. I've seen many complaints about the screen getting scratched from the tip of S Pen picking up random bits of hard material such as sand etc.
This is why I bought a screen protector to arrive together with my Note.

I have no scratches on mine and I play draw something a lot on mine.
Never heard of this. You press to hard i think.
The S-Pen can't scratch the screen UNLESS you exert an extreme force on it. (e,g, banging the tip to the screen all the time or exerting an excessive force in sliding it.)
I don't think Sammy would have developed this phablet with an accompanying S-Pen, if they know that the latter would just damage the phone in the long run.
Overall, in the end, it would be the user's S-Pen usage that matters.. if you just bang away using the S-Pen on the screen always, then overtime, I wouldn't be surprise at all if you get some minor scratches sooner or later.
It's entirely dependent on how the user cares or uncares (if there's a right word for that) in using the Note with the add-on S-PEN.
IMHO...
I've had a screen protector on my Note since day one. After 5 months I'm now about to fit my 2ND one as the film is covered in scratches and trying to see the screen in bright daylight is painful. I've hardly used my s-pen, and yet my protector is covered in scratches. In my case grit or something else abrasive on my finger is probably the culprit!

You ever think maby the screen protector is softer than the glass itself? I have not one scratch.
Screen Protector though soft helps protect small scratches caused by dust and normal wear tear...i hv been using a protector ever since I started using touch screen phones
It's not the Spen what's scratching your screen, the problem is dust particles that get in the way while using the spen!
I'm using an ugly bestskinsever screen protector just in case!

I'm a pretty heavy user of the S-pen (especially after discovering the game Draw Something!) and never used a screen protector and don't have a scratch on my screen. However I did once notice all these s-pen markings on the screen and after the initial shock i realised it was simply the s-pen cutting through the oily fingerprints!
The s-pen is definitely not sharp to the touch and there is a slight retraction with some pressure. I can't imagine drawing with sand or small particles on it as you kinda feel it as you draw.
The plastic is softer than the glass, this should be possible.
What you might be finding is you have a build up of grease/oils on the screen and the spen is cutting through that.
Give your screen a good polish with a soft cloth, I bet they go away.
From my personal experience, I think the same pen (with a small particle of sand/dust) could make a scratch on the oleophobic coating (fine thin scratch) as in the case of my note. It won't be visible under quick inspection though, but enough bother me so I ended up putting a screen protector on it.
And no, my case is not just grease/oil coz I made a clean wipe before I examine it closely...

I had a scratch on mine. About an inch long. Almost surely from the pen (I had no screen protector). I sold it before I did more damage to it.
Everyone knows that humans are basically disgusting oily creatures. As such our SGN10.1 screens get very funky very fast.
I have tried many different methods for cleaning my screen. Here is the one I have found by far cleans the fastest and the best:
Simple rubbing alcohol on some TP, wipe then clean off with a clean peace of TP.
- - Some folks have advised me against this due to the coating on the screen. I will consider other options.
For me this instantly puts the screen in super clean, just out of the box condition.
* I haven't found anything yet that truly prevent finger funk attaching itself to the screen. Tried Rain-x etc but found that tended to leave a slight haze.
Any other ideas?
So the best place to clean it is while filing paperwork in the office?
Sorry, I just use a microfiber cloth to wipe my screen down.
I use those Zeiss lens wipes you can get in a bulk pack at Sam's for like 10$. It's a box of like 500 of them. I used them for everything from glasses, to cleaning my S3 screen, to cleaning my tablets and even the back and cases for all my devices. Works great, handy, cheap, safe. Go get a box.

why not just cutting the paper tissue in half, one half for wetting and the other half for drying.
water is gentle on the different components and does the job.
Magic spray glass cleaner in a aerosol spray can it's a foam cleaner and resist dirt and poly films. You can get it nearly everywhere like home depot and auto parts stores.use of for bathroom mirrors windows computer screens and our touch devices. Ohh and car window's what its made for.

Ditto. Best thing I've found. If I have a bit of something to remove that the cloth alone won't handle I turn my Note off and wipe the gunk off with a very slightly dampened corner of the same cloth. Dry the screen thoroughly and I'm back in business.
It is not recommended to use cleaners due to the screen coating and the need to preserve it.
matte screen protector goes a longggg way. No oily residue, no cleaning, no glare
I use acetone on thick-grit sandpaper... if the fingerprints still don't come off, I just replace the glass with some plastic wrap from the supermarket; cheap and they sell it by the roll.
Honestly though, I have this problem and was thinking about using rainx. For now, I just sit there for 5 minute pushing down on it with my shirt

Alcohol is an abrasive material. It creates millions of micro scratches. It will for sure remove oil due to its abrasiveness but for sure is taking away stuff it doesn't need to - the protective quoting digitizers come with. There are spray fluids to clean glass surfaces like those use to de-oil and de-fog your sun and eye glasses, and this contain a miniscule concentration of alcohol among other agents but for not as much as the 70% present in rubbing alcohol.
I tried alcohol way back when I started using eye glasses and I noticed that after a while the glasses picked up some sort of fogginess that never came out even after trying soap and what not - that's the millions of micro scratches I was talking about.
The advise by the other member to tear a paper tower in half and wetting with WATER and drying is the best advise IMO (and past experience).

Alcohol is an abrasive material. It creates millions of micro scratches. It will for sure remove oil due to its abrasiveness but for sure is taking away stuff it doesn't need to - the protective quoting digitizers come with. There are spray fluids to clean glass surfaces like those use to de-oil and de-fog your sun and eye glasses, and this contain a miniscule concentration of alcohol among other agents but for not as much as the 70% present in rubbing alcohol.
I tried alcohol way back when I started using eye glasses and I noticed that after a while the glasses picked up some sort of fogginess that never came out even after trying soap and what not - that's the millions of micro scratches I was talking about.
The advise by the other member to tear a paper tower in half and wetting with WATER and drying is the best advise IMO (and past experience).

Well, that no alcohol warning comes primarily from Apple because the new iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen to prevent smudges. I do not believe our Note has that coating. If it does it sure is doing a lousy job. I honestly do not believe alcohol itself is abrasive. Nevertheless I will check out some of the glass products at the hardware store to see what they have. I have tried glass cleaners before and they left the screen foggy and smudged.

Digitizers come with a protective coating.
Ok well whatever coating it is doesn't prevent finger smudges worth a damn. I'll look at some other products.

Alcohol is only abrasive like a solvent in that it can etch some materials or remove coatings but it is not abrasive like sand or grit.
I used Auto Glym glass polish and it worked a treat. Though I don't think it would be good as it probably contains a mild abrasive. Though it did work wonders. I now have a screen cover that I wipe over gently with a microfibre cloth.

Yes it does have an oleophobic coating, if you'venscratched your screen, its in that coating. Gorrilla glass really is nearly unscratchable
