it looks like under the digitizer, between the LCD and the digitizer, is like small pockets of moisture, its Bairly noticeable only if you look close, but is they're any way to get rid of it, I was thinking a but putting it in a bag of rice. but any other options?

Does. The tab really need an screen protector?
Or is the gorilla glass tuff enuff? Did anyone get scratches to your GT screen? Without dropping it onto gravel or anything else extreme....

Have you need seen videos of gorilla glass?
I dont have a protector. I dont think it needs one with that glass. There was a video of someone shooting a BB gun at the screen and it didnt make a scratch.
Leave it off!
I did see the video, but im still conserned about getting scratches (on the GT ;-) from girfriends finger nails or something else really stupid....

No you dont need it... Try with some metal, nails whatever... Glass is harder than steal so it canot be scratched... (with some normal use afcourse).
Have only had it for about a week, but haven't had a screen protector on it. It's been in and out of my purse and work bag ... not a single scratch.

Played with a Tab at BB yesterday and it had a big scratch near the front camera. So it can definitely scratch.
Better safe than sorry!
A small particle of sand will leave a decent scratch. I always protect the screen, if not a scratch is bound to show up some day.
I like to touch directly to the glass.
So I leave the screen protector..
I use a screen protector, not to protect the screen but to eliminate the fingerprints problem

my first tab before it broke had a scratch on the screen within a week (god knows how)
so the new one had a screen protector put on it straight away, they are scratch resistant not proof, same as the galaxy S and my S also has scratches on it.
its better than normal plastic/glass but they do scratch fairly easy!
no need for one. If you drop it on the floor it might crack, but it will do that if you have a screen protector too.
i dont have screen protector on mine, no scratch..yet.
Sounds like its an draw....

I use the zagg invisible shield. it looks good and is pretty tough. application is retarded tho
I got a screen protector from ebay, extreme screen or something, exacatly the same feel of the zagg, but a lot cheaper, is nice an clear works great.
I have a screen protector on mine just in case lol. But from what I've been told we shouldn't need one... I'm half tempted to remove it. Screen looks so much nicer without it, unless that's just my screen protector that makes it look kinda dull and darker.

Can the dust that sometimes gets stuck around the edges
Of the glass get inside the nexus s screen just wondering cause I'm using amezer case
and somethimes there's a good amount of dirt and dust that sits in the little edges around the screen just let me know what's good
I've been thinking the same

The dust is all the same type of dust, im wondering what it is, dead skin? I'll put it under a microscope tomorrow but im no scientist.

I use a piece of paper to get it out. It drives me nuts.

That's what I did the other day used the edge of a paper to get it out
The dust won't get under the screen like with HTC devices since samsung fuses the glass to the screen and it comes as one unit.

Having suffered from the infamous dust issue with the Desire that's good to know.
actually...
dust does get under the screen, but not under the monitor part of the glass. i have little specs of dust filling the optical hole of the front facing camera. i'm gonna assume it got in there through the speaker. it really frustrates me and i may go and buy a dust blower to try to dislodge it. i've tried blowing in and all it does it fog up the lens. i dont use and dont plan to use the front facing camera, but it is pretty frustrating that there's dust in there.
Hi all
I bought my legend with a screen protector pre-installed on it and used it like that only for last one year. The other day my screen protector accidentally came off and I m so glad that it came off.
Just noticed that the screen is simply gorgeous without that layer. I was cribbing about legend's display all this while but now realize the problem was that protector.
Just giving a heads up to people that if you are using a screen protector, check out ur legend without it, you will not go back, trust me on that.
I think my display is easily comparable to iphone 4 now. just hope I don't scratch it.
Cheers

It's a glass screen, I hope it's smooth and nice!
As said above, it's glass (mineral)... I've had the Legend (now my GF's) for more than a year, so it sustained a scratch or two, but the screen is untouched and daisy fresh as when I unboxed it...It's really cool technology
It also depends of type and quality of screen protector if one is used.

I am not going back to a screen protector...for protection using a capdase rubber case, hope it's enough
Just out of curiosity, aren't all smartphone screens glass these days ?

Yeah most are at least. The X10 mini i know for sure use plastic, but that's old now. The Legend uses Gorilla Glass, it's extremely durable but be cautious of sand. It is harder than glass, and can make scratches. Metal most likely won't, because it's softer.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I've stabbed my Legend with a ball-point pen before I sent it off for a replacement and it didn't sustain any scratches x) I'm not saying you should try it, but the Gorilla Glass simply is gorgeous
Greetings everyone!
The other day my wife's bag fell out of the car while she was exiting without either of us noticing. Inside that bag was her Nexus 7, which I promptly ran over with my car.
Much to my surprise, everything is perfectly functional as far as I can tell. Bluetooth, WiFi, Brightness settings, OTG, charging, etc... all great. The only thing I ruined was the screen of the thing.
Knowing the cost of a screen replacement, I think I'll forgo getting a new one. (I gave her one of my other N7s so this one is now a hack-device!)
My question for the fine folks of XDA is a two parter:
a) How can I safely remove the shattered screen bits without causing further damage?
b) What would be a good material to place over it once I have it removed? Glass? Some special plastic?
My idea is basically to end up with a non-touchscreen device and use OTG and ADB to maneuver around in it.
Thanks in advance!
I take it only the touchscreen glass is cracked and the LCD is OK?
If the surface of the glass is cracked but intact, just cover it with a screen protector. If the glass has shattered, you will have to carefully cut the LCD from the digitizer as the two are bonded together. Since the LCD is very thin, you might crack it.

I've experimented with a cracked screen. The lcd assembly is bonded over its whole area to the glass. The glue is softened by temperature (too hot to handle) but I was unable to separate a small piece. It's possible that heat + solvent could work but as bigbop says there is there is a massive risk in further damage

LCDs typically use a metal frame to hold everything in place. I have removed the guts of the LCD from a frame in order to make it easier to remove the frame from a digitizer on an old PDA. It may be possible to do the same with the Nexus display but you will have to remove the tape around the edges of the display away and bend the small clips holding the guts in place.
I think the frame is only bonded around the outside edge.

Great tips guys, thanks a lot. I'll post some pictures of how it goes if it works out.

So what happened?
this is a newbie question
inside of my quickwindow cover got really dirty from hand oils, etc.
so everytime i close, and open the case, i get some kind of moistures/oils all over the screen
can I wash it with soap and water and be fine?
thx in advance.
I used advantage 20x which is all natural to clean mine. On a moistened microfiber cloth. I also cleaned my screen protector with it. It works similar to rain x by repelling some grease. It is not finger print proof. And I'll reiterate...very lightly moistened with it.

thx, but i still want to know if washing inside of the case with water and soap is okay
Their might be some magnets or electrical components in their for the quick window features tho
There's just a tiny magnet in the flap, no electrical components to damage.
The only thing that might get damaged is the glue that holds the flap to the case or even the metal rim on the window?
Just use common sense.
Cheers!
