Hi guys
As this is my first device with gorilla glass 2 i have no experience in this field. But on YouTube people rape their galaxy s3 screens without any damage. Is this for real? Do we need screen protectors or not?

It's scratch resistant but but scratch proof....it is resistant to materials that are softer than the screen such as keys. When it comes down to materials that are harder than the screen such as sand. ..it can get scratched.
So I would still use a screen protector if I was you.

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.

Android Authority is for me an undercover Apple fanboy site, Just like BGR :|
the amount of posts saying how amazing the iPhone 5 is, is getting annoying tbh
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!
Just dont take any biased BS from them and go to other sites such as Android Police or Phandroid etc

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.
use a freakin screen protector! there like 50 cents. obviously your worried about scratches. USE ONE. gorilla glass or not. why take the chance on a 700 dollar device. i wouldnt but thats just me. hell i bought screen protectors on my flip phone. lol. i just like my new phone to stay new

I hate screen protectors and never used them. I feel it like a condom. Much better and comfortable to touch a real glass than a stupid membrane. My galaxy note have only a few micro scratches after 8 months, but I almost cant see it. Only at sun and screen off I barely can see very tiny scratches.

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.

But wtf ????????? , my s3 display have 2 scrach after 2 weeks ................. i don't put it with any metal or something like that, don't throw it from the air, i have no idea wtf happened to me

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.

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.

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:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/r4u1k3ydln9yivt/tempFileForShare.jpg
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:
Who has the official Verizon tempered glass for the Note 3? How is the screen quality on your's? And does it work through the S view window with it on? Thanks, i'm in America now to visit my cousins and i came across a verizon tempered glass screen protector for the Note 3 and plan on buying it for 25 bucks.
Thumbs up
I put one on my note 3, no ill effects. works great, just expensive.

I would take it off immediately. There are numerous reports online that once the glass screen protector shatters , you risk shattering the glass underneath greatly and at least scratching it.

I used the one above and it works great. My gf had it for about 5 months and no bubbles.
Does get a little oily, but one good screen protector that doesn't start to form tiny bubbles. Some of the matte finish ones start to form bubbles randomly.
I got one and it is great, i am not sure why but i can see my note 3 easier in sunlight now, not sure if it is anti-glare or i am just going crazy. Does anyone know the EXACT thickness of this verizon tempered glass screen protector? I know it has 9H hardness though.
I purchased the Verizon one. I love it so far. Way better then traditional screen protectors and smooth to the touch. I'm not sure about the sview as I don't have one but works flawlessly with s pen. Great perk about buying it at Verizon is they will put it on for you. I know some people on here are pros but I get nervous putting mine one.

I had one of the "Chinese" glass screen protectors from eBay, and I loved it - not noticeable at all and very smooth to the touch... until the top edges began to separate and form huge bubbles at the top after only a few weeks. No matter what I did they wouldn't go away... it was driving me crazy so I had to take it off.
I'd love to hear from anyone that bought the Verizon one about how it's holding up after a few weeks of use.
Too bad I already used my $10 free isis promotion at Verizon.

That happened to my daughters Note 2.
Had the Spigen R on it, she bumped one corner of it on my kitchen counter and the Spigen cracked and spiderwebbed the hell out of the glass under it.

Yeah that's the other thing that drove me insane. I was VERY careful when putting it on, and immediately placed it on after removing the protective plastic, yet somehow a few pieces of dust got in there.... it's then impossible to get them out. Once you remove it fully, or try to get dust or anything off of the side that goes on the screen, it gets ruined. ?
Suffice to say, I'll never get ANY type of screen protector like that again. As much as I really don't want an actual case, it looks like I'll probably be getting the s-view case with built-in wireless charging capability.

One time i got a screen protector and dust got in it, so i took it back off and scraped the dust off, turns out i scraped off some of the sticky parts and it turned into a giant bubble
I'm still wary, but the following article mentions how the Edge's curved display should be able to withstand drops:
http://www.zdnet.com/galaxy-note-edge-curved-display-can-withstand-drops-samsung-7000033342/
My biggest concern is micro scratches. Dry screen protectors and tempered glass seem unlikely with this phone.
I hate cases so the prospect of going "naked" with the edge seems full of potential despair.
I sure hope so.
I want this phone very bad. I'm coming from a note 3 and see it a better upgrade to the edge then the note 4.
I also hope some screen protectors are released day one.
I also am concerned about minor scratches as well. What I'm hoping is that there will be a company that releases a glass screen protector for the Edge which I plan to get and then place it in a sturdy case such as Urban Armor Gear(fingers crossed that they release a case for this phablet as well).
Btw to be clear the internals may survive but the outer glass would not. I imagine screen replacement being very costly since you can't cheaply make substitute glass no ?

I believe it would be the same as other phones.
I just replaced a s4 glass today. The guy got the glass from ebay for $5.
It's pretty much just glass . And the edge would just be curved.
I do hope there is some great bumper case made tho.

But aren't screen, touchpanel and protection glass one unit, glued together, not intended to get seperated or partly replaced?
Btw. I already saw several Note EDGE screen protector films out there. Like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-TechSkin-Replacement-Definition-Anti-Bubble/dp/B00NAJ08YG
I don't think it needs rocket science to produce curved screen protectors for the Edge.
And btw: also a screen protector will likely not save the screen when e.g. dropping on a stone.
And the factory glass/protection is very scratch resistant.
My Galaxy S4 is blemished all around, but the screen still looks like brand new.

Maha hahah.
This helps confirm the nov release of the note egde.
Why would they release a screen protector way before the phone is out.
But Yea the plastic protectors don't stop the screen from cracking they just stop straches.
I would thing that the edge would chip before it just broke. But there is no telling till it comes out and people do some drop testes.
I also hope there are some good cases to protect that edge
*edit
O Yea it's not hard to make curved protectors. My htc sensation had a drip in the middle so the protector had a curve in the middle. It's pretty easy to make just vaccum forming.

I have someone willing to sell me a Note 10 Plus (512 GB Model) for $600. It has one annoying little scratch that you can catch your fingernail in on the screen. I'm curious if there is a liquid-apply screen protector or a filler out there one of you all has used that can take care of the problem.
Thanks in advance!
I have the exact same question
Throw a whitestone dome glass or similiar SP on it. That'll "bandaid" it enough whereas it'll appear nothing's there.

Agree with this....probably the cheapest solution available....from what i understand the liquid adhesive should fill the scratch and make it less visible.
Did you happen to check if perhaps the seller still had the stock screen protector still installed? I had a nasty scratch on mine..finally removed it and the glass beneath was pristine.

Consider replacing to glass in the long haul when doing the battery.
The plastic screen protector IQ Sheild is a wet apply, works well and may help conceal it nicely.
It's inexpensive and relatively easy to install.
