Hi all,i just discovered some light scratches on my glass...they are on left side,mostly on "black part",luckily.
I always used a case,microfiber or the (very cheap) plastic case that samsung gave for free after presentation.
It never fell down,just a hit on the bedside table,but it's polished simple wood.
Anyway,is there a way to "fix" it? I hear people saying they put the phone in the pocket with keys and no case,and no scratches at all...that's so sad
I guess i have to deal with it,but still hope for some miracoulus fix...
I'll search for a better case too,it'better

It is too late for the scratches, but why don't you protect your screen with a film? There are some excellent products in the market that are almost invisible to the eye and the finger...
Let's don't forget that the SGS screen is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
I'm not Gorilla glass spoke person, but it's still another plastic with higher durability.
basic physics law still applicable, as long as there is a sudden pressure apply on the glass, there are chances that the screen may cracked / scratched.
we all need to take care of it. I don't think there is any fix you can apply

Tried it once, can't say it worked for me, but probably more compatible with gorilla
Within a week of owning mine I found a nice big scratch down the middle of the screen. Really, really, annoying. I put it in a soft case all the time, only got it out when I used it, so I've no idea where it came from.
Strange thing is when I clean the screen with a microfibre cloth it disappears. Completely! Only to return once I touch it again with my grubby fingers.
There is no fix, and any you do attempt will put you at serious risk of making it worse. Heard nightmare situations where people have used repair kits or toothpaste and it's left a nice big scuff where there was once a tiny scratch.
Got a Martin Fields screen protector on at the moment. Does affect the display quality but not massively, and is a fingerprint and grease magnet, but at least it's protecting the screen, and the scratch is no longer visible.
Great guys, now I have to invest in a screenprotector as well. Doh....

You may find that it is from the case, not neccessarily scratching the screen but rubbing it more along that area than the rest. When you touch it the grease from your fingers 'sticks' more or less to that area than the rest, causing it to become visible.
I had a huge scratch on mine so I used the banana trick, 2 days later some ape stole it
^^ lol made my day
The screen is one of the best things abt the device imo! I dont use any screen protector nor case....and it still is spotless! Ive demonstrated to so many people by scratching the display with my car keys....nothing yet maybe i should tone down my demonstrations just a little bit
I abuse my phone unprotected. I already had my fair share of trouble with micro dust on a previous phone using a cover. Nowadays I just trie to remember to only put my sgs in my right pocket.
I guess that thecresta and i have the same scratch-type:it's light and becomes more visible when i swipe over it...the screen gets "dirty" due to skin "oil",the scratch remains clean :|
I'll keep it then,and think about protection...
dont trust gorilla glass, my motorola milestone also had scratches and it has gorilla glass

Sorry to hear about your scratch. FWIW I have never used a screen protector on any of my iPhone's or the SGS. So far so good. Keep it away from ladies with diamond rings and keep it away from sand. Two biggies that will ruin your day.

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.
I'm fed up of dusts under the screen, every product I buy seems to get it after some time.
I'm sure it didn't have this issue out of the box, as I would have realized. Today, my screen got dirty after playing around with it with greasy hands so I thought I should clean it with the microfiber cloth that came with my TV. I was cleaning it, but turns out the cloth wasn't clean either. Anyway it got even more dust on the screen, and when I cleaned the screen, there was dust under the screen that just didn't go away.
There is just 1 of them, it is only visible under direct light or when the screen is white. It is hard to see, but knowing it is there freaks me out. I don't think I can get a replacement either..
What should I do? Live with it?
Sadly only solution is to send it to samsung for a cleanup maintenance. Thats what i did with my phones
That's a solution but I don't really want to do it just for one pixel... And it's on the far bottom-right, not at a place that's easily seemable. But knowing it's there gives me OCD..

Are you sure its not scratches in the glass, afaik the touch screen would be glued to the digitizer like most other touch devices, so i dunno how you got dust under there.

The dust would be between the top layer of glass and the screen, I had a piece of dust near the edge of the screen that appeared soon after I got the tab, tapped the tab on edge and the dust disappeared never to return.
it is because the builder quality issue. the form between two layer not sealed well.
sometime the duct gets through. it is annoying issue for the phone
It's not at a very-obvious location, and it's really,really hard to see while using it. Now what's smitching my mind is, did it get in there or was it there all the time?
It's a horrible experience to live with it, i lived with it for like 5 months my g2 had a lot of dust under, so what i did is sell it on craigslist, but i chose to meet at night to do the trade so he wouldnt see the dust cuz you really cant see it at night but, i sold it cheap leaving room for the guy to send it back to the factory to fix te problem, selling it could be the best shot for you because if you got dust in there will be more comming in to join the party

That isn't possible to get dust there. I dropped my tab and broke the wimpy gorilla glass. I replaces it and I can tell you the glue that binds the glass to the digitizer is very solidly stuck! Are you using a screen protector? Possibly there?

I dropped my belt buckle on the tab, and got a small line about 2mm on the screen, the LCD is ok, but the top glass is cracked. I have a screen protector, might have kept it from getting bigger.

I hate those little dusts.
I've had some of them under screen protector but never under the screen itself.
semi-related, but my ipod (not a touch, a video) has a ton of pieces of dirt underneath the glass, presumably on top of the lcd
Tears in my eyes!
No, not from the dust...... from the laughter induced by content of this post.
Please don't get me wrong, dust is a genuine concern, so I don't mean any offence whatsoever.

Has anyone ever used an invisible shield, they say it's better than a normal
screen protector and it's easy to install, without any dust under it.
Is that true?
Hi,
I'll keep the question brief. The screen on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus got a scratch right away after opening whereas the Nexus 7 16gb that I bought back in July has been outstanding without a single scratch. Has anyone who received the phone and has been using it without a screen protector noticed any scratches (given that you keep it in a pocket by itself, so no keys, etc)? Ideally it shouldn't because my Nexus 7 didnt and I have put it through its paces. Thank you.
Ya know... the most common source of scratches are grains of dirt or sand, which has a tendency to collect in pockets. If and when you feel any, turn your pocket inside-out and slap it a couple of times to get rid of it.

I agree with that. But I'm trying to gauge whether I need preventative measures. If its like the Nexus 7, there wont be any scratches from my own experiences.

With all my previous phones (HTC Sensation, Galaxy SII, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy SIII) I always went with screen protectors right away. However, I found that they never looked perfect and in my opinion they always looked worse than a couple scratches would if I left the screen bare. With this phone I decided to just go without a screen protector altogether. The way I see it now is that the glass IS the screen protector designed to protect the digitizer.
And for reference, my first N4 was defective out of the box so I immediately ordered an RMA unit. I used that time with the first N4 to really utilize it in daily use without babying it or caring about scratches. I've placed it on its face on all sorts of counter tops, slid it across tables, and accidentally banged it on random objects. Today my RMA unit came and I inspected the first N4 before packaging it up to send it off. And I am happy to report that the phone had absolutely NO scratches or scuffs. This thing is more durable than my Galaxy Nexus was, that I am sure of.

That's what I was saying. The one I "abused" had absolutely no scratches or scuffs on it when I packaged it up today to send back to Google.
Also, keep in mind many people are reporting that screen protectors are really affecting the sensitivity of the N4's screen more than other phones. In my opinion, it would be rather silly to put something on the screen that makes the phone less usable just for the sake of protecting it.

Ever since Google authorized an RMA for me, I've been sorta "abusing" the phone. No problem at all. Whereas, I got scratches here and there on my Galaxy Nexus when I used the same way now.
But, in my opinion, having a few scratches here and there looks much better than when it is covered with a screen protector that is more prone to scratches than the screen itself.
Changing the direction of the thread since it is related to the screen. So I opened it today. The screen from what I had seen on YouTube and read was that the screen was superior to galaxy nexus.
On using it I see striations of lines like 1366*768 on my 15.6 laptop. I think that there is something wrong because every background including the virtual buttons other than white have vertical lines that I can distinguish. Can someone please confirm or deny these vertical lines on grey, blue backgrounds. Is this the screen technology or just this specific phone that I received? I have nexus 7 and this had been perfect in every sense. Its not as high resolution as nexus 4 but the pixels are a result of both horizontal and vertical lines colliding resulting in no vertical striations.

Yeah my heart just sank too--the front appeared more scratch resistant than the back to me. The back of mine had a deep scrape within the first day of use just from being in my purse. Now I see MANY very fine scrapes on the front. WTH! It's not even two weeks old!

I should have bought an xperia T, that thing is unbreakable
Yeah, I have been babying the mess out of my N4, but what I thought was a hair turned out to be a scratch deep enough to be felt by a fingernail running across it. The upsetting part is that the back of my device is fine, but the scratch is on the screen. I don't understand how my GNex only has a few scuffs on it, and it's been treated much worse than the N4, but the N4 just somehow managed to get "lucky" and find that somewhat sharp particle that sliced it up good. Starting to make me dislike Corning a bit.

I looked at my phone this morning and noticed 3 fine scratches near the top right hand corner of my phone. I also had that heart sinking feeling. I have a Galaxy Nexus prior and i didn't have a single scratch on the screen .
with the screen on that scratch doesn't affect the display at all only when i try to look for it. i still don't know how it got them =(
sighhhhhh
I have only had my Nexus 4 for 5 days and although I have left the screen protector that came with the phone on the back side, I have no screen protector on the front side.
So far no scratches whatsoever on the front screen and I keep the phone in my pockets.
My previous phone (Galaxy S2), which I had used for a year has a few small (hair like) scratches on its screen but its almost invisible when using the phone.

slippery back side glass
I have a Nexus 4 about 1 month, but I am much more afraid about scratches on the back. This phone is very slippery when I put it on the back and surface is not completely flat, even a very small angle and Nexus 4 starts moving down the hill. IT already fell down on the ground when it was on the book on the table. But no damage yet.
I've been keeping the phone in my pocket without screen protectors (now in a microfiber sunglasses pouch) and don't have the slightest scratch on the front, it seems very strong. The back is a different story, I would say it is definitely not the same material as the front glass.
Just pointing out that this phone gets scratches easy. It have only been in my pocket with the Led View Cover and I have always putted it in there carefully and alone and never laid the phone with the screen down.
Bowne have 3 scratches over the screen.. Can't be seen if not specifically looking for them with screen Off, but well they're there.
Anyone else got similar experiences?

Yes, mine also have similar minor scratches. I have been using this with Super-Carefully. But still they are. Samsung did a bad job in scratch resistance on S7 Edge. Should not be. My S4 International version is way more better in terms of scratch resistance.
Could be a trade off of scratch- vs shatter- resistance, I seem to recall reading that is the basic trade for something so thin (and possibly made of the silicon glass it is).
My wrist-watch has proven both highly scratch and shatter resistant, but it has a thick Sapphire glass crystal and that won't work for a phone like this I don't think (at least without adding even more dramatic cost).
I would suggest making sure there's nothing on your pocket, been using it naked since day one and haven't scratched the screen at all but I do make sure I don't have anything on my pocket, don't want to risk it.

+1. No screen protector, no scratches. Sometimes when it is dirty I wipe it with a glasses rag, that's all.

Yes, S7 Egde tends to get hairy scratches, magically it happens even we handle it with care Try full body protectors to stay away from the scratches. I'm using Gadgetshieldz full body protectors.

I used a Supershieldz protector for a few days just to be on the safe side but since the film came off as soon as I put on the protector I went back to naked and my screen still remains unscratched, I think it's mainly just being careful with how you handle your phone.

Have you checked it under sun ? Mine looked unscratched but then I noticed some micro scratches when I looked at it under strong light

These posts are just stupid because we know the exact hardness of the cover glass, which is exactly the same as every other phone. So if you scratched yours it doesn't make the phone "easy to scratch" it makes you a careless user.

I just did per your suggestion, and fortunately for me it is unscratched. I do agree that keeping the phone scratch free throughout its entire life might be hard to achieve but if you really care for your phone then it's possible, my phone only goes in my pocket alone or on top of a table/flat surface never facing down. I had a Nexus 5 for 2 years with a screen protector even though the last 6 months of usage I had it naked and not a single scratch either even though the screen sucks cause it literally shatters if it falls down on the screen once regardless of height.
Me2... be sure not to have anything in your pockets
Yeah. It scratches waay easier then my Note 4. Luckily/sadly by screen broke and I got a new one. On this one I have zagg invishield.
