Been using the n7 for days now. Got a case for it, but do you guys think I should get a screen protector too? I mean its already scratch resistant corning glass right?
Thanks.
I have had mine for a while with quite heavy use and don't have so much as a scratch. It should be fine if you aren't too reckless but it all comes down to preference.
It is important to not that my case raises over the edges, protecting the screen when face down.
I don't think the Nexus 7 uses Gorilla Glass, but it doesn't seem to scratch easily.

Noted.Thanks.
( limited to 8 thanks a day,sorry)
The Nexus 7 uses Corning Glass which is more resilient than Gorilla Glass I have read. I use a screen protector anyway.

Corning makes gorilla glass. I imagine they are similar.

But no! While putting it in I pushed on the glass too hard and the glass cracked! T.T
Is a replacement glass possible? Sigh~

I don't know but look at this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855934
On the left side?
Bottom right. On the bright side, if there is any, the crack is on the bezel..Sigh..
Not cool... Something is seriously wrong with the Nexus 7, 2 times I've seen people broke their display by dropping "3 feet onto carpet".
You shouldn't be able to break the display just by pressing on it, even firmly.
I am debating whether to use a screen protector....
No, not a single one. And I use my N7 on a daily basis (since mid July) without a screen protector.
Just get good cover for the N7 (LuvTab, Poetic, etc.) and you'll be perfectly fine.
No, but I am pretty careful with it. My phone has gorilla glass and I have a scratch on that. It aint scratch proof.
Some fine scratches that are only noticeable when the screen is off and at an angle, so nothing to worry about too much. I refuse to use protection

Had a screen protector on, looked terrible. Now I'm using it naked, but with a pouch.
No scratches yet,it's been several weeks.
I don't know but I actually prefer the look of my screen with a matte SP on. I also love the feel and the lack of fingerprints. My N7 was stolen yesterday and I bought a new one. I had a SGP Matte Ultra Fine protector on it and it is sorely missed after using the stock glass.
The fingerprints are the worst and I hate how after playing a game with a D-pad for a few, the area under your thumb starts to get tacky and hard to slide. I'm having to constantly wipe it down. I'm putting another one on there ASAP.

The glass material of the screen seems to be reliable.
My N7 previously has a AG screen-protector, but then I removed it So far there are no scratches, but probably because it is protected by a case with smart cover.
If being afraid of any scratches that N7 may have, I would suggest an AR screen-protector. Try it.
No scratches on mine. It was also over a full month before I purchased a case.
What can you do to get rid of scratches if you get them or can you?

You can not remove them but you can install a good screen protector to hide the scratches.

I've ordered this one http://www.gadgetshieldz.in/google-lg-nexus-4-e960-screen-protector.html#product498 and the Ringke Fusion Case... I hope these are good products, because the case i have right now is really bad, it dropped the phone before my n4 hit the ground...

Their not really removable. Other than buying a new screen an digitizer, you're stuck with them.
If they are really really tiny surface scratches, I wonder if using that oleophobic stuff from amazon would fill them in. Seeing as the phone comes with an oleophobic coating, I wonder if that's all that got scratched. If someone has an old junk phone, I'd be curious to know if that windshield chip repair stuff would do anything.

That stuff for windshields is an epoxy, which would not look good on a phone screen. The olelophobic stuff from amazon would be worth a try.

Don`t think you can hide it with a screen protector, but you could try. Maybe it will look a bit better. Best way would be to have the screen replaced. Didn`t you use a case or bumper? It is a glassy phone proned to shatter on impact.
Did you even try Google? If it's not as bad as the one in the linked guide, just cover it with a scratch protector and you won't be able to notice it.
Alright, I am using a poetic borderline with my nexus, I ordered a nillkin screen protector... Hope it works!!!

Okay, the screen protector turned out to be matte and it just made the scratch look worse. Ordering a wet install screen protector soon.. Any idea if they will work?? I can feel the scratch when I run my finger nails over it and it is clearly visible outdoors!!

Only a new screen can solve your problem
Try displex, i heard it's working, never tried it though.... It's worth a shot...

Any ideas on keeping dust off of it? It builds up on the corners of my case + screen because its attracted to my screen. I'm assuming from static but I'm not sure. Dust hates me.

Do you have dirty pockets?
Yeah, the N4's naked screen really attracts dust for some reason unknown to me. None of my other phones have done it. I think it's probably because of some property of the oleophobic coating. Thankfully it wipes off pretty easily.
