Damn, managed to drop it. The screen protector saved the screen but the chrome plastic frame is a mess. Does anyone know where to get a replacement chassis from - uk?
thanks
Since the phones barely been released yet it will probably be a little while before parts are. Can't even get a decent case yet.

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.

Does anyone know where I can get my screen replaced in Sydney, Australia?
Dropped my phone from about a 45cm and so called Gorilla Glass 3 cracked. I want to make it a big deal with Samsung (anyone have any advice??)
But if they aren't gonna do anything I need to get it fixed. Any idea who can fix them quick??

Hey all,
My Nexus 4 recently had a run in with some concrete and I've shattered both the front glass and the back glass on the phone. I've lost touch response below the crack running horizontally across the screen.
I'm assuming I not only need both faces of glass, as well as a new LCD to recover touch response in that area. Does anybody happen to know a good place to get parts for it? (read also: as cheap as possible without getting a garbage product)
EBay.... I bought my screen for about $90 it was the real one and high quality

Did it include the glass and replacement screen?

I was walking down the street. Get a notification. Go to pull it out of my pocket. Snags my coat and slides right to the sidewalk. Only dropped two feet at most cuz I kinda fumbled it with my other hand. Quite irritating as there is no way to fix it but to find a new chassis or buy a new device. I'm usually so careful. Never dropped a phone before. Seriously ever. I'm super ocd about the condition of my devices. I dunno if I can handle looking at the little dings for as long as it takes to afford a new device/parts. Might post pictures later if anyone cares to see the results of a standard pocket to concrete drop. Luckily no cracks or scratches in the glass. Tiny dings and tiny tiny scratches on the back.

Any scratch on Front + Back screen? (With Protector/ case)? Picture would be great and thanks for sharing.
I did not have a case on it at the time. There was a small ding on the front glass but removing the OEM film cleared that up. The rear has a few tiny dings and itty nitty scratches. The aluminum frame has a couple dings. Nothing that most people would crap about but most of us here at xda are kinda nutty about clean devices. I'll post photos as soon as my wife comes home.

Sorry to hear that. But lucky the screen doesn't crack/ shutter. Thanks and looking forward to see the details.

i could see it happening easily enough myself. this is the first phone iv had with a shiny back on it. my last phone was a cheap samsung so the plastic makes it easier to grip. it would be even worse with cold hands id say. ill probably try and get some skin for the back of it when they are out, something with a bit of texture on it would be better. and it would cover the logo too!
what does the screen feel like with out the screen protector on it? its just regular glass? and did the logo come off?
The logo did come off. Its kinda cool. The glass underneath feels harder and less slick I guess. It's hard to explain but the glass underneath doesn't grab fingerprints and oil and dust as much as the film did. Also when there are finger prints and smudges you can't see them as much when the display is on. I took the film off my xperia ion as well.

I tried taking pictures with a moto electrify and an HTC one. Neither can pull a good enough macro shot to see the damage.

I've dropped my Xperia Ray couple of hundred times,I think this one will suffer the same destiny Thats why I'm kind of relieved bout the fact that rear of z1c is just plastic,bought a case ofcourse immediately after purchase of this gem of phone. Couldn't be happier.

Keep an eye on http://www.witrigs.com/ currently they have only Z1 but surely soon they will have compact.
What do u think by seeing this glass ?
i have bought brand new Galaxy S5 and this is the result. i think samsung provided me fake gorila glass?
What exactly are we looking at? The yellow tint that is your screen
I believe the OP is talking about the scratch at the mid - bottom of the screen, or what?

Yes I do, had kind of the same thing at my i9305. Seems weird but has no impact. If it bothers you you can always take it back

I have one year warranty of Jarir Qatar but problem is i am in india , i am not going there anymore.
let me see anyway to reach them else i will replace the screen by paying money in india itself
because i really feel some problem with this glass.
Can't you take it direct to Samsung?

Definitely looks like the screen protector is causing it. Can you remove the screen protector and see if that removes the tint?

Looks like a protector is on. You should remove it and check.
Indeed. It's just the factory applied protector is coming away isn't it? Hard to tell from those pics with all the reflection. Down on a flat table would have been easier to see

There is definately a screen protector applied, just look near the sensors around the screen you can see the parts where thers is air under the protector :silly::silly:

No brother , I have not put any screen protector.
that is not bubble , that is coating fade away .
So sad I have got manufacturer defected phone.
It REALLY looks like some kind of protective film. Are you sure it's not? I've never heard of "coating fading away" before.
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I do not see anything remotely looking like a screen protector or anything like that, that said, it is just an unfortunate production malfunction which can always happen and so obvious you don't have to worry about it and can just return it to get a replacement. I do not really see the need for a whole thread on such a problem.
Would I feel bummed out about it, of course, but these things happen and are easily solved. Thread closed?
