have you guys notice small gap between the glass and the silver plastic rim around it,visible only on bright environment..
i've noticed this on the first day. My friend said he read something about this on other phones to. I'm guessing its because of it being glass. It is design to protect the screen so when you get a bump on side it will not break the gorilla glass. I think

Might be true, maybe its for design purposes, in mine its only noticeable on the top area, but when using the phone normally you will not notice it because of its black color..
It's generally used as a seal to keep dust from entering the phone.

Silver? Mine is smoked grey metal

Yeah i just noticed it on mine. Wonder if we should be worried about the screen popping out of the frame or something. The gap is more prominent on the right side of the screen when looking at it. Top and bottom has no gaps. Hmmm...
Mine looks like it has an equal amount of gab and some dust that settled in.
its made like that. like what someone said above, its to protect the edges of the glass from shattering.
The glass on mine is a bit off centre, cant see it unless looking right at it in light.

I had the same glitches. Down and on the left side of the screen. Got the screen replaced by Samsung. The frame and the screen is stuck together from the factory. Now it sits really tight.

So is it a factory defect then? Unit seems to be working flawlessly though and no screen glitches
I noticed a tiny little gap on the bottom most part of my screen and the frame. It's not very visible, but it seems to be collecting a little bit of dust.
I never noticed it before reading this thread.
Hi guys
I need some help. I dropped my N4 and the frame of the phone got some scratches and i can't find that frame on ebay.
I've added a picture in the attachments and if you could please tell me where i can find this frame. It's the silver one around the screen.
Thank you
Is the screen damaged? Usually the frame (bezel) is sold with a new screen. When I bought a new screen for my nexus I bought it with the frame already attached. It is really hard to detach the screen from that frame; they are superglued and you would need to use extensive amounts of heat to separate them. I have never seen anyone sell just the frame by itself; all the time a screen comes with it. Therefore I'm unsure why would you need to replace just the bezel. I doubt anyone would notice a small scratch on a 3mm piece of metal.

So I dropped my s4 twice within a week (im still gutted with myself) and its dented the front bezel and scratched the back one and its right on the bottom right side corner so I decided to sand it over with a nail file and it feels like new but obviously its taken the chrome of so my ? is would model paint like a chrome effect model paint work has anyone tried doing this or would it be easier to buy a new front bezel bit I've seen that the front bezel comes fixed to the screen so not an easy fix,everything else if fine the screen is in perfect condition considering how deep the dent was.
So anyone used chrome look paint on there phones...???

Its really hard to paint the bezel without removing it. If you succesfully removed and paint it im not sure if it will still fit because of the paint.

Hey basically I've got quite a large but thin scratch on my screen and I have no idea how it got there cause I haven't touched the screen with anything sharp only my finger and the s pen.. So I'm sure it's the s pen that made the mark, but does anyone know how to get scratches out of the screen or hide them? Cause it's really annoying to look at when on a black screen or when the screen is off in the light, also does anyone know a way to prevent the phone from getting finger print marks and smudges off the phone? When I go outside and use my finger on the screen it gets kind of sweaty sometimes and makes annoying marks on the screen is there anyway to prevent this?

perhaps some screen protector would solve your issues!

It's there for life unless you scratch and buff out the whole screen or replace the screen.

Sadly, I think the scratch is a permanent thing
I had a similar occurrence years ago with a bit for debris - probably sand - getting on a stylus and scratching a phone screen.
I wonder if a screen protector, particularly one of the glass ones, would help?
This is exactly why i think gorilla glass is over-rated. I had a light scuff on my screen by day 3 of owning this phone and the only places i leave it are in an empty pocket or on my desk. I bought a tempered glass protector and it covered it pretty well but still pretty bothered about it.
I dont think the rubber tip of the s spen could scratch a gorilla glass lol. The only thing you can do is put a screen protector on it. Over time you will just forget about the scratch underneath. I had this happen before. Never again will I go unprotected on a $700 investment.

Cheers for the replies lads anyone got any idea for a great cheap screen protector that will cover the screen and not lose clarity?

Anyone experience this? I see minor abrasions on my screen only where the s-view window touches the screen. Any suggestions to remove the abrasions or remedy the issue?

Yeah! I've experienced the same
And no solutions till now

This hasn't happened to me yet but now I'm paranoid. Does anyone know of an armor style flip case? I dropped mine the the other day and scratched the aluminium on the bottom right corner. Heartbreaking.
I literally only just got an S-View cover a day ago after being caseless for a while.... I do have a screen protector on though and all I notice is the S-View square does make an imprint on the protector, If I had no protector on then I guess it would make a little scratch, It seems the plexiglass on the S-View is slightly raised/corners a tad sharp. Manufacturing issue most probably.
I have many small abrasions in this square window area. Has anyone received a solution from calling samsung? Verizom won't do squat.

Which S-View are you guys using? I have the wireless charging one and like I mentioned I have not experienced this issue, although time will tell I guess. Also how long did it take for the scratches to start appearing? Edit: Nevermimd the last question, literally a day. Sorry I didn't notice.
I have the normal S-View (Non Wireless) -- The packaging on mine is a little bit older than the other colours that were for sale in Phones4U near me. (mine is black)
I noticed the imprint on the screen protector as soon as I had closed the cover. And felt around the edges which were slightly raised.
I've had mine for a couple of months now.

Official samsung s-view case, no wireless charging, no sharp edges, no beach sand, no unnecessary friction.

Which model, wireless or non? This is disheartening. I'm scared to even close the damn thing now. It's been a week for me and nothing happened yet, but a big risk to take on a $750 phone
It really is a shame. I'm waiting for a glass screen cover to take on the scratches from now on until samsung hopefully recalls or resolves this issue.

Ya...I got it...****..I now put a tempered glass protectir over it to hide the scratch..and I used a wallet cover instead...f the s view case

Are you guys saying that the plastic window is scratching the gorilla glass of the Note 3?

Indeed it is, many small abrasions from the two touching repeatedly. I thought the new iteration of gorilla glass was a lot stronger than this, but apparently it is not.

Yes indeed!!!
Got a official S View case (black) put it on my note 3 and within 2-3 wks started noticing a very fine straight line across the screen at the bottom of the s view window, tried rubbing, cleaning, polishing, with NO luck. Bought a spigen glass tr and haven't used the damn S view cover again. Sucks spending $65 for a cover that ruins the glass...
I can tell that its not only the S-view cover that damage the screen, also the original Flip wallet cover damage the screen. The carveing for the visit-cards edge, will also damage the screen. I have a fine straight horizontal line on my screen at the bottom of the visit,card carveing. From the middle and out to the right side of the screen, then vertical all the way up followed again by the visitcard-carveing, then at the top of the carveing I have again a fine horizontal line from the right side of the screen to about the middle of the screen.
Screenshot where I tryed my best to follow where these lines are:

Its pretty much impossible to see unless you got some finger grease on the screen, but with the s-pen it feels like crossing the atlantic....
Question now is, what els is there... If it wasnt a original cover there would be nothing to do...
Hmmm. well I have been using the S-View cover for several months now and my screen has zero scratches. I keep the phone in my bag or trouser pockets and no problems at all.
When I bought the Note 3 on launch day back in September, I asked about the S-View cover and was told stock would be delayed as original stock was sent back to manufacturer because of quality control issues. I am wondering if there was an issue with earlier models of the case related to scratching. Just a theory. I used a standard S-View cover at first then replaced it for the wireless charging version, again this was further delayed before stocks were available so maybe there have been significant improvements.
So, it is possible to have this case protect your phone without the need for an ugly screen protector. I have never used one of those on any of my numerous touchscreen devices over the years, I maintain as long as you take good care of the phone it does not need one. For those that work/live in dusty environments I guess it's a good idea but day to day the S-View case on its own is sufficient in my opinion.
I have the s-view cover for a month now and screen is still absolutely perfect.

The view cover scratched my phone in just a week, so I had to buy a screen protector.
The scratches are located exactly where the screen of the cover is located.
I guess that's because I've answered the calls with the cover closed, and by pressing it, the existing dust made his job :-\
The Protectors..
Sorry to hear all those screen scratches .. well at least they are not broken into pieces .. I said that because last time I read about Note 3 screen replacement (gorilla glass) it will cost around $250..
The first thing I was proposed by the Samsung sales when I bought Note 3 was to buy a screen (film) protector, I hesitated previously but accept to buy it anyway because I dont have time to argue. At home I didnt really care about the film protector because as soon as I saw Spigen release the Glass.tr tempered glass protector I bought it from local reseller and replace the original film protector with Glass.tr. and then I realized that the old film protector was still reusable so I put the old film protector on top of Spigen Glass.tr.. Lolz but it worked! .. so my phone now using SView cover with double screen protector
I also pre-ordered Spigen S View slim cover to replace my old S View cover (I need it to protect all sides (edges) of my Note 3 as Spigen said Glass.tr will broke if hit by its edges). Soon my Note 3 hopefully will be protected on all corners.. up .. bottom. .. and all edges.. hopefully.. please God bless me. :angel:
