Has anyone noticed the screen can be scratched relatively easily? I have somehow managed to drop my phone on to the floor once and now the screen has a hairline scratch across the centre. So I'm annoyed. The old note seemed more durable.

It's not a durability thing as much as it's pure luck. No two drops are identical so all those drop tests and stuff are pure crap. Besides, you actually dropped the phone so you can't blame anyone but yourself.

I understand that and know its no one's fault but my own. My old note 1 was subject to a years abuse and had less scratches than the new note 2 has after a week. It just disappointed me a little. I know they aren't invincible but a scratch after a small drop disappointed me a little you know.

All my phones since the Nokia N8 haven't had a single scratch on them. That's why I don't buy screen protectors, they look ugly, they feel different than glass and I just don't like them. I gifted my little brother that N8, then gifted my girlfriend my ex SGSII and she then sold it without scratches, now she owns a SGSIII without scratches. My Note 1 was with me for 5 months and when I sold it had zero scratches.
Now my Galaxy Note 2 has about 2 weeks of use and it already has 2 little tiny scratches on the screen. It doesn't bother me as you can't see them on normal use and just when you look at the glass from one particular angle, but the scratches are there. Very very small, very very light, but is there. I took the same care as with any of my previous phones so my guess is that Samsung used the properties of Gorilla Glass 2 to make the phone thinner and not stronger, and now it scratches more easily. Since those 2 little scratches my Note2 is always on my case now and hasn't developed any extra scratches. But like I said, neither of my previous phones had any scratch at all, the Nokia N8 and SGSII were amazing since I used them a lot and them my brother or my GF kept using them quite a lot and not a single scratch. The Note 1 was with me for just 4-5 months. The Note 2 screen is definitely a bit more prone to scratches.
TL; DR:
The Note 2 screen is more prone to scratches from my POV. Older phones that I had I sold without scratches after more than a year of use. Note 2 is 2-3 weeks old and with 2 almost non noticeable -but existent- scratches.
Gorilla glass two is more harder than gorilla glass 1 and hence more susceptible to dust scratches. No doubt itbwill give u more protection from nails, keys and other metallic stuff but gorilla glasses are not resistant to Scratches caused by dust and G2 is more prone to it. So keep it safe from dust and i would say that its better to get a screen protector than regretting.

This could not be more wrong. GG2 has the same characteristics as GG1 but is 20% thinner. That's supposed to be the innovation here.
It's just a matter of luck. No matter how you try to spin it. If your screen comes in contact with something harder than it is such as sand (not regular dust) then it will get scratched.
http://m.corninggorillaglass.com/smartphone/#_InnovatingWithGorilla
Sand in particular is the weakness of gorilla glass. A single grain of sand floating around in your pocket will cause mayhem with the glass. In fact sand will scratch the glass more than keys or coins will.

Drop-Test on Galaxy Note II
AndroidAuthority carried out their 'Drop Test' on a Note 2 with great results.
The Note 2 is reported to have better build quality than the S3.
In the test the Note 2 was dropped 3 separate times ~ once from the pocket (2 feet), once from the midriff (4 feet) and finally from the ear (5 feet 6 inches). It passed all drop tests.
See video here.
I spit in the face of screen protectors. My Note has stood the test of time (well, 7 months or so) and the screen still has a wonderful sheen and no hints of even a hairline scratch or blemish. This will bode well for resale value as I still see this phone going for 500 bucks by private sellers.
I've had my Note II for about 12 hours and I'm blown away by how much attention to detail was paid to this thing.. the screen feels much more slippery, has an awesome feel around the edges where it's no longer 'sharp' feeling and blends right into the bezel, and the glass feels much more dense. Even the back panel has a grippier feel so I'm even less worried about dropping it (I didn't use a case on my Note either and never once did it slip out of my hands).
Of course, use your own judgement, but a phone this beautiful will not be covered up in any way by me
I agree with you. I never use any screen protectors too.

In the i**** 5 Vs S3 they kept making the S3 fall face down and the i**** fall on its side and the guy with the girly name, darcey or something? kept jumping from happiness from the AMAZING and TOUGH screen on the i**** 5 if you look up for any other video with both phones face first you will see both got absolutely destroyed in almost an identical way!

Corning said this about their gorilla glass2.
" Gorilla Glass 2, a glass 20 percent thinner than the original material offering the same scratch resistance, the same strength..."
So its to help weight saving & help reduce phone dimensions, its wise NOT to interpret it as being a stronger or more scratch resistant screen when in a device.

I've gone nearly 2 years now on my Inspire 4G without a single scratch on the glass, and I don't baby my phone.
I don't use screen protectors, not because of the cost but because they ruin the feel of the phone.
Maybe I got a bad screen protector, but the film felt much more coarse than the gorilla glass with the S-Pen. I can't imagine using the S-Pen without that smooth glass. No screen protector for me.

You will have your money on Monday.
same here, with the desire HD after 2 years of rugged use not a single scratch, with the note 2, 2 days no sand, no keys, nothing that could scratch it, but still a tiny scratch already on the screen pretty bummed about it, as i was going to get the official flip book case for protection, but it isn't out yet... so much for a non scratched device after 2 days...
Despite name I'm no where near the sea/beach although sand does get everywhere! I'm guessing there would be no way to Polish a scratch out? Due to the special coating on the glass?
I wonder when replacement glass will be available for some diy repairs?

Did you put it in a pocket - probably a bit of grit in there.
Also, need to make sure there is no particles on the pen tip - on my old Touch Pro a couple of years ago, I got into the habit of always rubbing the tip of the stylus against my shirt or trousers first thing after taking it out of the silo.
GG and Samsung is the phones that for me always get some marks on the screen. Same as my old s2 back in the days and S3 both got it even if I dont threat my devices so damn hard. and I am not close to sand so that is not the problem...

Just sharing....
This was in XDA Portal once. Worth a watch. And this is about OG Note... Im pretty sure the glass on Note is much better... It shouldnt scratch with any amount of keys/sand in the pockey...or even rubbing them on it lol..
I think someone dropped your phone from a moderate heighy...
I had a Nokia N8 (long time ago, my little brother still uses it as a camera and treats it badly), an SGSII and a Note 1 before my Note 2. Never used any screen protector, never had a single scratch. The guy who bought the SGSII for me still uses it and it is still flawless. I will buy the flip from ebay since in my country even the Note 2 won't be available this year, let alone a cover, but just because the flip actually protects it from falls. My Note "1" fell twice and the flip made it survive without scratches on the body. As a rule I don't put it in my pocket, if that counts =)
You know which screens don't scratch? Ones with screen protectors. It's not a matter of how long you went without a scratch, it's how long until you get one. Again, I like the ability to replace a screen protector with ease vs any sort of DIY glass replacement. Next you guys are going to start saying how cases are silly because you never got a scratch on the phone... poppycock.
Its never been dropped, not even put in my pocket! (DONT LAUGH) but I keep it in a clean sock, changed every day and carried in my hand always.
Really can't understand where it's come from.
At least it can't be seen when the screen is on.

There are several arguments in favor of using screen protectors as there are several things capable of scratching Gorilla Glass. Most notably sand. I get the feeling here that a lot of people plan on using some combination of either a screen protector on the front and back, or a screen protector on the front with some kind of TPU case.
I personally don't like screen protectors or cases. I don't like the way screen protectors make the phone feel, and cases generally make the phone too bulky for my liking. No less, I plan on going with one of the androidified cases by CruzerLite whenever they're released -- they're kind of like the case for people who hate cases. I'm willing to make this sacrifice to save myself from an indoor drop. In New Hampshire, all bets are off when you're outdoors.
After a year my RAZR has a single hairline scratch that's only noticeable if you really look for it. Never had a screen protector on it.
That being said I have seen many people who got scratches and on gorilla glass seemingly easily.

I strongly advise a protector. The new tempered glass protectors are really nice but they aren't available for this phone yet. I was totally okay using gorilla glass 1 (original) without a protector. I used my Sensation naked for months and it never got a single scratch. Not even a nick. I sold it in perfect condition. My nexus already has a few microscratches in it though. I have seen galaxy SIIIs with scratches in them too. Gorilla glass II just sucks. It may still be resistant to cracking and shattering, but it seems to have virtually no scratch protection anymore. When I get my warranty replacement, I'm definitely putting a screen protector on.

I highly doubt this. My nexus has been subjected to the same if not better conditions as my sensation and already has scratches whereas my sensation was even dropped on concrete and not a scratch.

Hi, I was wondering if any of you S4 users have any scratches on your screen? I have quite a lot and have had the phone for a month. I thought gorilla glass 3 would be tougher than GG2. My HTC One had less scratches and I had it for longer. My brother had the S4 and complained about the amount of scratches also.
I have also noticed a couple of scratches on the screen. I have had mine for just over a month.
lot of it is down to environment. No amount of careful use will help if there is lint / dust particles in your pocket. Those are invisible but those minute sand particles will scratch anything short of diamond.
My sis has lot of fine hairline scratches on the ONE's soft key area which is only thing exposed. Screen part was covered and as some screen protectors had issues with soft keys, she had cut bottom part of the screen protector and it has fine scratches there.
Unless you really make sure there is no lint or you live in area which does not have too much wind dust, it is not easy to keep the phone scratchless without screen protector and without babying it.
I have always said, put a screen protector on it. Nature is more unpredictable than our technology, and more harsh than what we think.
I have absolutely no scratches and I wouldn't exactly say I baby my phone either

But the back is in one piece. That's is why I want to ask you - Nexus 4 owners - how to check if my phone have the Gorilla Glass 2 on the front?
I have checked the box, and quick start guide - no information about it. Also warranty does not have that information ?
Gorilla Street 3 breaks Gorilla Glass 2
Gorilla glass doesn't advertise shatter proof. Neither does gorilla glass 3 and 4 probably won't either. They advertise SCRATCH RESISTANCE. So if you drop your phone thinking it won't break because of gorilla glass, think again.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. No one is trolling .. my screen is littered with scratches. No one is arguing or making any kind of insinuations that the N4 sucks.. but that many people have not had "good' experiences with Gorilla Glass.
Take your shatty internet tough guy attitude else where ...

Coming from the guy telling everyone has an extreme "placebo effect contagion" over ART because according to you its nothing more than a switch on android.
Like I said trolling is easy to spot. Specially when the majority of the post are nothing but complaining.
I'm doing feeding you.

I'm a carpenter so my phone is exposed to dust and random debris in my pocket. I use a simple no name flipcover and I must say thus far its the most resisting phone I owned. Not a single scratch or dent.
To repeat it again. Every glass will break eventually but not every glass will scratch.

Haha. I really wasn't trying to troll on art.. I stand behind its an unfinished runtime environment that is not giving everyone the result that they think they're getting but that's for another time and a different discussion.. and also I have NOT gone around saying it either.. i posted in one thread.. my opinion on a topic.. it's not my fault you guys let such little things bother your little brains.
You guys just get so butt hurt when someone disagrees with your my phone is so amazing and has no fault ideals.
My screen is scratched all over. From literally pocket use I guess... I use a screen protector to hide them now cause its very annoying to look at. I never dropped it or anything like that..
I have a small crack around my speaker on the back also.. pressure I assume. ...
All I'm saying is Gorilla Glass isn't all that its cracked up to be..
