how many of yall nexus s screens have scratches - Nexus S General

Debating on getting a screen protector my screen
Has a couple of very small scratches on the screen but u cant really see theme on less u tilt the phone and look really close I don't know how they got there cause I
Put my phone straight into the pocket maybe the couple of times I drooped it but there not even noticeable

None. I use a screen protector because it gets rid of the smudge where the coating wears out.

I've got ghost armor on my screen, but I have some dings on the four corners of the plastic surrounding the screen. I really like the ghost armor though.

Is that why my screen is sweating cause the coding on the screen is coming off

i have a lot of scratches on my display, unfortunately i can't find a fitting screen protector for my i9023...they are all for the i9020, which is of a different size...

Phone bought in december, never used a case or a screen protector, and no scratches on the screen

None and i dont have a screen protector. Got scratches on the side where my nexus fell out of my pocket and hit concrete floor. Was so happy that it didnt drop on its screen

I don't im going get one u can barley see theme

I keep mine in my old G1 pouch. I work in construction and am constantly blowing sawdust and random debris out of the pouch and off of the phone. Luckily though, the handset is still completely scratch-free... somehow.
*knocks wood*

None. Using Skinomi (front and back).

Yes, i9020a to be specific. As far as I know there is no difference between the screen size of a SLCD and AMOLED. The length and width are the same. If you go to ZAGG, Skinomi, Bestskinsever or any other brand there is only one screen protector for the Nexus S and it's not specific to any one variant (i9020, i9023, etc).

i bought a zagg as soon as my phone came. I also bought a TPU case on ebay but the case leaves micro scratched on the back of the phone

Can you notice screen lift with case?

I recently picked up two new N7's and unfortunately they both have minor screen lift. The cases we ordered are similar to the one pictured below... Can anyone tell me if its even visible/noticeable in a case like that? I mean, i cant imagine it being noticeable with the bezel being covered by the case.
Thanks

I have the exact case (except its blue) and the screen lift is not noticeable. In fact, i had ordered the slim ebay case and i switched back to the supcase because it seemed that the screen lift was worse in the ebay case. I feel that the way the supcase holds the N7 in does help

Great news! Thanks for the quick reply.
No. Anything that covers the bezel will hide it. The Slim cases typically don't cover the whole bezel except the corners. Most TPU cases will though.
Problem solved for the screen lift issues

I sense some sarcasm, but may as well be for me. I plan on using mine in the case full time so out of sight out of mind
And hey, a case was a valid fix for the iphone4! :victory:

How to fix peeled sgs2 frame without replacing the frame

Do you have spots on your sgs2 screen frame where coating peel off?
Picture below shows peeled spots on my sgs2.

I notice that chrome background on peal-off spots turns black after few days, so I decided to peeled off whole frame. For peeling I used my nails. It take a while, but I was very satisfied with result.
You could also try with some hard wood or plastic material, but I don't recommend metal because you can easily scratch the the chrome on the frame.
Peeling process

Yes, it remains black and looks even better than before.
Ok. So you have to peel the ALL the coating until you see the metalic shiny reflective part?
This really works?

Yes :laugh:, last picture shows how it looks after it's finished.
Did the same on mine a while ago. Totally worth it, but it takes time.
Wooden toothpicks are also great for the space between the screen and the frame, but i admit i used sometimes a cuterblade,... risky.
A soft eraser is good for polishing the plastic also in case of scratches.
S2
It looks great nad better than before(the original) i will do the same with my phone
Patience is the key. Do a little when you have time : you tube buffering, download waiting, girlfriend shopping when waiting outside the shop... kidding...
But you won't regret it : it should have been done like this, but, well they know... if it get destroy, maybe you will change for a new phone, a samsung one,...hmm, with the same sh***ty frame like the s3... and the s4...
EDIT: by the way, i forgot to say that for the rounded corners, the hardest part, i used the metallic part of a standard lighter. The metal can be bended and the paint on that part (so choose one with a paint coating ) is soft enough to prevent scratches...
So much fun

Camera lens cracks not scratches

I have seen some reports of people thinking their lenses are scratched when in fact they are micro cracks. This is my third phone with this problem and I took some pictures to show people what to loo for and how to do it.
Here is a picture of what appears to be a scratched up lens.

But when you plane light off the surface of the glass you can see it is clean, they aren't scratches but micro cracks which in turn get bigger and look like scratches.

This is a defect that will come out more and more, somethings wrong, either they didnt put a rubber gasket around it or the phone flexes too much and its too thin to withstand the strain?
Look really close and you may see the beginnings of the cracks in your lenses too.
I dont see anything in your pictures as hard as I'm looking. I don't have anything on mine either. I wouldnt call it a defect. Something had to have happened for it to crack whether you noticed you did it or not. I used to say the same worth the Nexus 4 glass back. Things don't just break themselves. It's thick sapphire crystal.. Not glass.

Ok, you must not have read my post, this is the third one I have had with this issue. If you look at the top pic you'll see what looks like scratches on the bottom right of the lens itself, except they go all across the whole lens ( hard to photograph. The second pic shows a clean surface which proves they aren't scratches.
No I did not hit it on anything, had it in a case before I even left the store all 3 times. I also have a Nexus 4 without a scratch on it. Others are reporting scratches, but I wanted to show they aren't scratches at all, but cracks within the sapphire itself, and YES sapphire crystals damage easily, just look at watches with their sapphire crystals, and they are much thicker then this thin piece they used here.

Glass Protection no good.

So Neither the Verizon Glass cover or the zagg cover works. Had 3 different places try to install it on my phone. Touch Screen very spotty after install. What is everyone else doing now until they fix this problem in the covers?

I've gone glassless. Tried a couple from amazon and they both would fall off. Ther are no good reviews of them either.
Is the stock glass good enough to not have something on it?
Skinomi for me perfect protection and full coverage, yes I know it's not glass but offers decent scratch protection
I'm using this screen protector and case and it's a nice low profile design and I have no issues with touchscreen or the screen protector coming off. Very fluid design.

I went with this and it came out flawless. Can't even tell by sight it's on there. Says case friendly but I'm dubious. First time I put it in my TPU it lifted a tiny bit. Second time it was perfect. I think I might not have waited long enough for it to dry completely. Right now awaiting microSD before I put my SIM and SD card in it and start using the phone.

I went to AT&T and asked them about glass screen protectors and he flat out said that if you plan on putting a case on the device, don't bother getting one. They've had no luck with installing them as the cases just lift them up, despite them being listed as "case friendly".
The only one that they had was the Zagg one. He said that I'm better off either going without a protector at all or trying to find one of those plastic ones. I'm not surprised by his statement as I've seen numerous people here complain about how difficult it's been to find one that'll work with cases.
Oh, so in the meantime, I'm going naked with the screen and using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case.
Bought one on Amazon before I got the phone. It had no reviews. I got the phone but haven't tried the glass screen protector yet. Went back to Amazon and all bad reviews now. I'll see if I can return it, I'll probably go without a protector, I think it will take a lot to scratch the glass.

White border under glass. (S7 Edge Black Pearl)

Has anyone (especially those who own Black Pearl colour) exprenced this (first picture).
At first I thought it's just some dust but when I washed my phone and looked closely, it's actually something under the glass which looks like a cheap temepered glass's border (second picture).
The difference is only some parts of them are in white, the rest are beautiful in black (or transparent?).
It doesn't affect waterproof or anything but still triggers me a lot. Is this normal ?

This looks totally normal, it looks like dust build up in the slight gap between the tempered glass and screen itself or the space between the screen and body in some chase.. this is usually noticeable on black phones.
So U are saying that upon close inspection it looks like it's under the glass?
If so, I can confirm that it may be possible, because I'm having that issue. I have a silver titanium model, and on the upper side, it seems that the silver paint doesn't go all the way to the edge on the front glass, so I am able to see the glue that holds the glass.

I'm pretty sure it's not the dust because I even sink the phone in water.

it is just dust and dirt build up, I don't find it alarming, you can still show it to a repairer to be sure..
