Has anybody experienced this?
The pouch I use exposes the micro port, is there any danger of dust getting under the screen?
I kinda hoped the used the same slide cover as on the SGS, I've thought about making a bung to fill it in when not in use, then again I may not have to if its designed in such a way that dust can't get under the screen.
I bet you had a HTC before.
I've had mine since the day it launched in the UK and don't have any dust under the screen and never heard of anyone else having this issue either.
I believe that isn't possible with the sgs2 because the screen is made out of one single layer instead of two.

The SGSII's SAMOLED screen is engineered such that getting dust under the screen is virtually impossible under normal circumstances. I have no idea how you would manage to do that. The benefit of SAMOLED is having a single layer.
No and its impossible to happen because it was made using only one layer..
If you noticed any blemishes or dust it probably failed on production..

I've noticed some dust inside the objective of the back camera but not under the screen... Anyways, this tells us something about the cheap design of the device...

The SAMOLED and Digitiser are bonded together, almost impossible to get dust between.

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.

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.

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
I'm actually using an extremeguard screen protector and i found it disturbing, swiping with the finger is not smooth anymore
Wondering if the screen protector is really needed, what do you guys think?
I depends how careful you are with your phone I guess. I've never had one on any of my phones and I've never had a scratch.
It depends on what you do with your phone. However, the Gorilla Glass 2 is quite hard. (Vicker's hardness test of 622 to 701)

See the Wikipedia article on Vicker's Test for a comparison to other materials.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of screen protectors because the screen protectors tend to scratch easier than the glass. Others disagree.

I used that one too and didn't like it either been looking for one that is not a wet apply one and has the right cut out holes and fits perfectly no luck so far

Depends how OCD you are about scratches. Contrary to popular belief, Gorilla Glass can scratch and with bad luck even the most careful user will still get a scratch. I don't really mind small scratches so I'm using mine without a protector right now. I'll probably give the Fantom glass protector a go when it comes out though.

Wet installation is good to me, also mine had holes, but still swiping is not good enough

I would hate scratches, totally. Also i'll probably sell it in the next two years, and scratches will decrease its value
No. They do nothing but look like s*it.
Not sure if you know this or not but it's safe to say that you'll need to wait atleast 72 hours after installing a quality screen protector to regain smooth swiping. It has to do with the oils in your fingers.
i dont use screen protectors because i find the installation process to be annoying. only scratch i ever gotten was from my nexus s.
Depends on how much you care about keeping your phone in pristine condition. I've owned the phone for about 3 weeks now. I've been very careful with it, yet I still have managed to get micro scratches on the back and front. They are barely noticeable, in fact I can only see them when under a bright light, but nevertheless they are still there. I don't plan on ever using a case or any type of protection.

Screen protectors are ugly and take away from the feel of the glass screen which is a beauty

I've taken off my screen protector... I'm going to enjoy my phone now, it's so much smoother and I love the curved glass.
If I get scratches oh well. My last phone had scratches but they're microscopic.
Last time I sold a phone on Craigslist the buyer didn't even care to see the microscrathces on the phone. I just sold it for 30 less than the going rate. He thought he got a great deal and that was that

Live by screen protectors, had a few scratches on previous phones and since then I have always used them as I can remove them (if they go bad) and replace them I know it doesnt effect resale value as much but I prefer it.
Bestskinsever are the best IMO and after applying my screen protector I would say it was the best application ever, no bubbles or anything apart from a little bit at the top right (not on the screen, non issue) looks like there isnt a protector on it for the most part, I actually like the feel of the BSE skins it it enhances grip and I dont need to worry about a bumper now to protect the glass while on a desk along with the fact I notice no real difference in using the touch screen (I prefer it to naked for some reason!).
Each to their own though, Gorilla glass will scratch and I know for a fact random bits of sand and stuff do find there way to me on some occasions so I would prefer to avoid it, for the most part GG is great though.
Every other phone I ever had I put a screen protector on cause they got minor scratches within the first few days just from being in my pocket. I ordered a cheap one on ebay for my N4 but it didn't even fit (too small) so I said screw it and left it naked. I've had it for about a month now and I haven't got a single scratch on it, mind you that I baby my phone... but honestly the glass is very scratch resistent IMO, as long as you don't set it face down on tables or keep it in your pocket with keys or change you should be fine

Well its gonna scratch without a screen protector so depends if you care about scratches or not. I already have 2 on my device.

I usually put on a screen protector right away. Since Google decided to send me a replacement handset 3 weeks ago, I've been going without one knowing I'd get a new one anyways. I've had no scratches or marks at all since, even while keeping it in my pocket with my keys.
It's going to be tough for me to go back to using a screen protector since I've grown to love the feel of glass surface and how it doesn't smudge easily.

I always use one mainly because I usually upgrade phones at least once a year. The resale value is higher for a phone which doesn't have any scratches.

+1 I haven't put one on yet either due to the same reasons of the glass surface and smudging. No scratches that i can tell yet either. I'm probably on borrowed time tho.

Hey basically I've got quite a large but thin scratch on my screen and I have no idea how it got there cause I haven't touched the screen with anything sharp only my finger and the s pen.. So I'm sure it's the s pen that made the mark, but does anyone know how to get scratches out of the screen or hide them? Cause it's really annoying to look at when on a black screen or when the screen is off in the light, also does anyone know a way to prevent the phone from getting finger print marks and smudges off the phone? When I go outside and use my finger on the screen it gets kind of sweaty sometimes and makes annoying marks on the screen is there anyway to prevent this?

It's there for life unless you scratch and buff out the whole screen or replace the screen.

Sadly, I think the scratch is a permanent thing
I had a similar occurrence years ago with a bit for debris - probably sand - getting on a stylus and scratching a phone screen.
I wonder if a screen protector, particularly one of the glass ones, would help?
This is exactly why i think gorilla glass is over-rated. I had a light scuff on my screen by day 3 of owning this phone and the only places i leave it are in an empty pocket or on my desk. I bought a tempered glass protector and it covered it pretty well but still pretty bothered about it.
I dont think the rubber tip of the s spen could scratch a gorilla glass lol. The only thing you can do is put a screen protector on it. Over time you will just forget about the scratch underneath. I had this happen before. Never again will I go unprotected on a $700 investment.

Had my phone from the beginning and have never had a screen protector. My screen has endured over its life and it could pass as a brand new screen. This phone is designed to be durable. IPhone tender care is not needed

Put new screen protector on your phone. Gorilla glass is just good marketing. Can be easily scratched by speck of dust under your finger. About dropping on hard surface (rocks, grit...) is pointless to speak of.

this question/topic has been discussed at least 50 times before and the result is always the same.
-some people never use them and claim no scratches
-some people didnt use one and claim scratches
-and some people (like me) would never use a phone without one
its pointless to go over this issue again. for every yes there will be a no.
Thanks for all the constructive comments I've decided to side with caution and buy another batch of screen protectors. After all they are relative cheap and offer a front line level of sacrificial protection.

I have them on every device I use, including my Ipods, and even Garmin GPS. I'd rather be safe than sorry. The only one that suffers a little from the protection is the N7.
I have owned my phone since September 2012. Been using protector maybe 2/3 to 4/5 parts of the time. It is the sensible thing to do. Peeled it off months ago as it did began to bug me a little due to 'oily smearing'. Also I figured the 'end life' of the device I would want is as nice as possible. No accidents or detrimental effect seen so far. It Seems possibly a little more durable than I originally thought. That said I am glad had it on so long to minimize risk and will surely use one again as soon as I get a new phone at some point... Also I think there is a very big difference in people's perception of 'normal daily use'. I am generally very careful with my more expensive gadgets (phone included).
If someone wish to scratch the screen, just take some sand and spoil with the finger over the screen.
Warning, this will most probably scratch your screen!
Didn't have one on initially but the wife and 2 young children seem to think black rectangles are hockey pucks. A few small scratches on the glass later i've started keeping a protector on it. I prefer the glass directly but better to have a scratched and replaceable piece of plastic than the glass thats a pain to replace

Black circles and black rectangles are pretty similar.
I don't see why you would need a protector. My screen has only one little scratch, and you can't even see it unless you look at the screen off with a really bright light.
Best experience with a screen I ever had. And I'm not just talking about durability. The colors and definition are truly remarkable.
i use liquid screen protector it hardens as like a layer of plastic over the screen
I hate the feel of SPs and never use them...had this phone since release and only have a small faint scratch that's only visible when the screen is off, other than that no issues...small price to pay for the responsiveness I require.
