how many of yall nexus s screens have scratches

Debating on getting a screen protector my screen
Has a couple of very small scratches on the screen but u cant really see theme on less u tilt the phone and look really close I don't know how they got there cause I
Put my phone straight into the pocket maybe the couple of times I drooped it but there not even noticeable

None. I use a screen protector because it gets rid of the smudge where the coating wears out.

I've got ghost armor on my screen, but I have some dings on the four corners of the plastic surrounding the screen. I really like the ghost armor though.

Is that why my screen is sweating cause the coding on the screen is coming off

i have a lot of scratches on my display, unfortunately i can't find a fitting screen protector for my i9023...they are all for the i9020, which is of a different size...

Phone bought in december, never used a case or a screen protector, and no scratches on the screen

None and i dont have a screen protector. Got scratches on the side where my nexus fell out of my pocket and hit concrete floor. Was so happy that it didnt drop on its screen

I don't im going get one u can barley see theme

I keep mine in my old G1 pouch. I work in construction and am constantly blowing sawdust and random debris out of the pouch and off of the phone. Luckily though, the handset is still completely scratch-free... somehow.
*knocks wood*

None. Using Skinomi (front and back).

Yes, i9020a to be specific. As far as I know there is no difference between the screen size of a SLCD and AMOLED. The length and width are the same. If you go to ZAGG, Skinomi, Bestskinsever or any other brand there is only one screen protector for the Nexus S and it's not specific to any one variant (i9020, i9023, etc).

i bought a zagg as soon as my phone came. I also bought a TPU case on ebay but the case leaves micro scratched on the back of the phone

Worried about that dust might get into the phone

As there are plenty of "holes" in the body of the Galaxy Note, are you afraid that dust might get into the inside of the phone, and may contaminate the screen?
Or, has this happened to some one?

I don't think that'll be a problem since the screen and the glass is really really tight together. It's not like 2 years ago when there was "huge" gaps between the LCD and the glass. Haven't seen or heard from anybody with dust problems.

Yeah I'm worried. So I have a screen protector and a case. And I keep it in clean places.

Well I work in a joinery shop, very dusty and I'm not worried and not a speck under my screen

doesn't have any smart phones a lot of holes?. i cant see that the note have more or bigger holes then the rest?. but aside that. i use smart phones the last 8 years now, starting with a P900 up to the HD2. and i can assure you these phones have seen places you even cant imagine if you have not being there your self, when the talk came to dirt & dust. and i never ever had any dust under the glass of my phones. so i'm pretty sure the note is safe/unsafe as any smart phone in that point.

Isn't the point of super AMOLED that the glass is bonded to the display without any gaps ie it should be impossible for dusty to get in in between?

What specifically about the Note would worry you more than any other smartphones/tablets out there? Dust is always a possibility, but minor at best. The Note is just like any other phone...prone to dust but not a concern.

I learn from my mistake when having htc sensation. A whole speck cloud of dust come from side of the screen and it is major flaw design discussed in sensation forum.
Well, past is past, for this Note, im taking good care of it. Im never put it inside me pocket without its bag carrying! Anyway, thanks to Amoled, i feel much better

Yep, that's what i've read. That's a key difference between AMOLED and Super AMOLED. SAMOLED will give us the illusion that we're touching the display panel directly since it's bonded to the glass. AMOLED/LCD is not. So i would think that it's nearly impossible to get dust under the glass.

not worried about lint getting into my screen, but it is nice to have rubber caps covering the ports on my ringke case. I have some phones where there is a bunch of lint in the usb ports

Screen protector and case will help your worry. Though if you apply the screen protector there is a possibilty of getting dust underneath it resulting in you thinking there could be dust under your screen

I need a something that doesn't make it slip from the table anymore

there are 100s of sleeves, bumpers and cases. I lost track. All I need is something, slim, nothing fancy that doen't make that bloody phone to slip from every damn surface. Any advice besides a rubber band?

Meifeng Hard Skin. Looks and feels great, fits perfectly, precisely cut, doesn't add bulk and is cheap. Look up for it on eBay, you won't be disappointed. I recommend a black one.

Any screenprotector should help and it does not get any slimer then that^^

Poetic Bumper or a full body skin (I recommend Best Skins Ever)

thanks, I just ordered the Meifeng.

Dbrand carbon fiber skin. works well and looks awesome.

I second the Meifeng. I have one in black. The cutouts are more precise and it adds more grip than the Diztronic hard case.

I use a Xtreme guard screen protector on the back. I hate those protectors on the front, but the phone is no more slippy now with the one on the backside.

ZAGG's back protector works wonders. Because it is so damn grippy!

im using Skinomi with no case, just front n back and it grips the table fine.

I second that ^^ the skinomi adds the grip needed if you like the naked look of the N4. Works great for me.

I wish somebody would make a TPU case where at least the front face AND back face are glossy to make it non-slip! I've got one for my old iphone4 (which i'm using now while waiting for my replacement Nexus4 since the USB port decided to just up and drop dead), and on most surfaces it is rock solid and will not budge unless you put some real force on it. I don't understand the extreme fascination of a matte back case when it is just as slippery as without the case!
I also have the meifeng hard case (with the rock quicksand like texture) and although it does give it a little bit of grip, it is also far from eliminating slippiness...

Superglue. Never fails.

I also recommend the Meifeng (the black one is my daily case). However, if slip issues are the *only* reason you want a case, why cover the whole phone? Why not try something like these?

Zagg hd dry film screen protector

I got one today anyone know if its tough or if its any good brought from the ee shop

Have one, feels good so far, pretty easy to apply and holding well so far, so thumbs up.

Pics of it installed please..? I purchased a zag hd after a fail with Verizon branded ones. I accidentally got a wet install which is nice but I can't use cases that go over the screen with it. Looking to get a dry install soon.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk

so what's the diff between wet and dry install styles? aren't they the same thing just differently installed?

Ive got this screen protector on my phone and im very happy with it... really good coverage edge to edge and it plays well eith the cases i have. When i installed it, initiallg had a lot of bubbles that i couldn't push out.. but these disappeared on their own.. and now it looks perfect.

Not sure entirely but I thought the dry was a film and the wet is like a stretchy material.

Its good

Hi everyone I won't to purchase this Zagg hd dry, is it a good choice? Some of the s7 edge owners are using it a long time, would you share your experience with me. I'm specially interested, how it manage drops.

It won't do a lot against drops, maybe a tiny bit. It's designed to stop scratches. Only tempered glass protectors can "help" against drops on screen. And they are **** in our phones.

Exactly, I try two different manufactures of tempered glass, it was unusable. I thought, because of the soft material, the Zagg, could absorb some of the impact. I just thought some of the members who are using this protection had some experiences with drops.

Anyone have a custom non glass back?

Looking for aftermarket back that wont crack. Anyone have any experience or know where to find one? I see witrigs has a transparent one that im guessing are not glass and maybe some other custom ones. They don't say for certain they aren't glass though. Hopefully one of y'all know of other options!
Just replaced the back glass and battery last month. Just looked and the glass is broke yet again and my phone is in a tech 21 case

Haven't heard of anything like that, but it would be a better arrangement...
Try a eBay search...

Are you planning on going bareback? Haha! I mean, using phone without a case? Because I use a Spigen Tough armor case and it's slim and I have the OnePlus 6t and I've literally sat on my phone in my Mack pocket quite a few times and even dropped it on a job and then stepped on if accidentally and mines still not cracked. I weight 225 lbs and wear steel toe boots to work. Haha! All I'm saying is this Spigen Tough Armor case is great! They're the only cases I buy for my phone's these last five or so years and they're only like $15-20! Check them out if you want. I'd be scared to take my glass back cover off this baby. Haha! I'd probably ruin all sorts of crap on that mission. Then again there are many YouTube videos now on how to do it properly. Good luck.

I haven't barebacked a phone since the no deductible Geeksquad protection days haha. I've been rolling with Tech21 case on all my phones for a while now, seems they are not up to the task of protecting all that glass however. Looked all around and couldn't find a non glass replacement. Thanks for the recommendation on the Spigen case, just replaced the glass once again and slapped that case on. Very slick case and gunmetal looks great! I am tempted to try bareback again now since I seem to have great protection according the box the replacement came in haha jk.
When you do end up changed the glass or battery no need to sweat! Heat it up a tad and use a ultra thin sheet of plastic and go to town on the edges. One of the easiest phone to remove and no cables or screens in the way to accidentally mess up.
