How the hell do you scratch "Scratch resistant" glass?
LoL you tell me and we will both know no really I don't know bro it's only two small area's that are scratched lightly I don't have a clue how it happened and I can only see them if the screen is black it's just the fact of knowing they are there I hope I can polish or use some kind of remover to get rid of them any ideas

It's scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
Get a wet application screen protector like skinomi or xo skin. They "fill" scratches making them invisible. I had a heavily scratched Verizon fascinate that I bought used off ebay and put on a skinomi screen protector and you couldn't see any of the scratches after.
Hey man do you have any idea what they may cost THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER

Am I the only one that fells that the screens "softness" wares off after some use?
When I bought by SGS3 I found it VERY VERY smooth coming from the SGS2 but now after some weeks I find it the same as the SGS3
Does the screen ware off or my dirty hands made my screen less soft?
get a non reflective ( anti glare) screen protector live how it feels .
but too your question think it's a bit of both dirt scratches and perhaps the mind getting used to it.

actually, I bought an anti glare screen protector 20 minutes ago and I hated it. Lasted 5 minutes with it.. I love the screens "glossy" and brightness.... hated that I lost that

I ordered a case and screen protector from Spigen and it feels great and doesnt reduce the definition at all.

Can I do anything to fix it? It's only a small scratch but it's quite annoying. Brasso? Toothpaste?
So much for Gorilla Glass!

Sadly no, and brasso and toothpaste doesn't even work effectively on a cell phone screen. Should have got a screen protector
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yep get a protector, I don't know how I scratched my screen as I treated my N4 like my precious... Yet my G300 with the original Gorilla Glass is still scratch free! GG2 is just not as good.
just get an eraser and erase it or buy a new one

I can't tell if you're serious or just trollin.......
You can't get the scratch out. but as far as screen protectors go, I'd recommend Best Skins Ever. I've had mine on for awhile and they work great, Minimal orange peel effect and they feel really smooth. You have to be really careful during install though, so if you don't have a steady hand, get someone else to help.
Cheers for the somewhat depressing comments. Have now bought a skin. Bolting horses and locking stables spring to mind!
What is the point in gorilla glass? My Sammy Galaxy S lasted much longer!

That is the thing... My galaxy Ace screen only had 2 scratches (from when i dropped it on a rock ), but my N4 screen got scratched over 1 week of usage? That is weird.
Get Amzer shatterproof, they hammered the hell out of the screen and it didn't crack. It is 30$ though, I got a ZAGG but it peels up at the edges so I might get amzer

No screen protector here and have been using since late November. Not a scratch on it.. Keep it clean, keep your hands clean and be careful and it will be fine.

To be honest i am kind of angry. I had to take off my screen protector, and because you can only buy it online in Poland,I had to wait 1 whole week before applying a new one. Now I never left it on front glass, and I had a case, but the front screen is still pretty scratched... and it was just 6 days!
I don't know if this is gorilla glass or not, but it sucks.

Are you angry at yourself? What`s your point
Ive been doing a lot of reading and havent seen too much in depth talk about the n4 with a zagg and case. Seems like every case i get bubbles my zagg around the edges as they currently dont have a "case friendly" one. Ive used zaggs for a long time and i really dont want to switch to anything else but this is getting frustrating and expensive. lol. So with that what cases are you guys using with a zagg?
no one uses a zagg with a case these days? :silly:
Zagg is a complete rip-off. I use XtremeGuard and a diztronic case. You'll love it.

Just buy some front and back screen shields and you'll be good to go. That's what i did and i use the body glove nova case. HIGHLY recommend it. By far my favorite case and no bubbling

Zagg with Google bumper case seems to be right combination, doesn't disturb edges at all.

I am quite satisfy with zagg and i may try another protector someday. But for now, it protects my phone perfectly.
I am using zagg with an Acase which I also wrote a review already. You may find it in this 4rum.

Use to have a skinomy. Then I ripped it up and now I have no screen protector. That thing pissed me off. And my case is the ionic one from amazon.

It's a matter of patience. I hate putting on screen protectors. I really do. I started from the top to align the earpiece, proximity sensor and front camera. And when you use the case, you have to wedge the phone in so the case won't lift up the protector. If your case has a lip around the edges that will help a lot.

Is it a new install? If so that could be the soapy water solution? Can you tell if it's dust? If it's the solution, you can wrap a credit card in a lint free cloth (microfiber) and squeegee the stuff out as much as you can.

It shouldn't matter too much, but you risk of the screen protector to rise up when dried. But try it out. They are XG's so you can get them pretty cheap.
Dude use scotch tape to remove debris.

I ordered some note 2 glass screen protectors cause I thought I would have the n2 for quite some time but I came across a deal I couldn't pass up on Craigslist for a note 3. So I put the n2 glass screen protector on the n3. It fit pretty decent for being for a N2. It would fit even better if I wouldn't have put it on crooked lol. The glass screen protectors were 10 dollars shipped on eBay.

Thats actually a good idea. I just got my Note 3 yesterday and my screen protectors are not coming in until Monday. In the meantime I was afraid of something happening. I am going to throw my spare Note 2 screen protector on it for now.
The phone has gorilla glass 3, I have yet to scratch an old pos HTC thunderbolt or skyrocket. Money better spent on a square trade warranty.
Currently I put iSmooth Note 2 screen protector as temporary.
MIME will come tomorrow.

I tried using a screen protector but it was really hard to move the S-Pen across the screen. It wasn't smooth. It was like moving it across a rubber surface.

I hear the tempered glass protectors are very good to combat that. Just pricey

I did the same thing, I had a spare thin flexi-glass screen protector for my N2 and put it on my N3. Works great. Better be safe then sorry and keep square trade for something really bad.

That sucks, but general use won't damage a screen, that takes some serious abuse.
Body guards makes a good glass protector, worth the $.

Sand and glass don't mix, a possible bur on keys, I've already jammed a aluminum flashlight into my pocket with the phone against the screen, no sharp edges, it did no damage. If you wear a ring with exposed stones, that too can damage. In and out of a clean pocket will do nothing, unlike the older phones.
I'd never let my fiance use a phone without a screen protector, she'd damage it in a day, depends how conscious you are of the screen.
Still cheaper to get a square trade at this point, 99 and then 100 deductible, replacing the screen is very difficult on this phone, you are more likely to break more in the process, plus it is still more $ than the warranty. Best of luck.

I had this exact problem when I initially installed my screen protector. It was extremely tough to use the S-Pen and felt extremely rubbery. The next day, I tried the S-Pen again and it was absolutely smooth and normal.
I think that there was something left on the screen protector after I initially removed the thin plastic film that they stick to it for shipping.
