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

Best screen protector?

Hiya, i recently brought a used galaxy s4 from ebay, the seller said he had it for under a year and used a screen protector on it.
When i recieved it the screen was very smudgy after using it for not very long, and these fingerprints are hindering the great display tbh, im pretty sure the oleophobic coating has worn off!!
What would be the best solution regarding this? Would it be best to get a screen protector? If so, which one is the best?
Thanks alot
Darren

Screen protector problem

Hello! So i've bought a new screen protector and went to a proffesional to apply it. All good but i notice that after a few days this weird thing, some parts of the protector became whiter, as in white spots and lines and i can' t get rid of them by wiping no matter how hard i try. Now this protector has an anti glare coating and the guy said that it will worn off in time. So i'm really puzzled about this, what do you guys think?

Need some protection help

Im trying to see if any1 had any luck with a glass screen protector and a case

I've looked on eBay and have seen some, it would be nice if invisible shield would just make one already. I have the regular invisible shield on right now and the corners bubble.

Check out Seidio cases. I have one and it's great.

I bought a spigen case on ebay for $10 and I love it. The screen does not touch the surface. As for the (tempured) screen protector, no luck with out dishing out around 30-50 and who knows of they are any good. I bought a $15 one on ebay and returned it. I'm going to wait till a reputable protector comes out.

I've heard all the tempered screen protectors currently available for curved screens are crap. I'd rather have that when a good one comes out.

From what I've read most curved glass screens require additional duct tape to hold it in place...and because they don't have any glue in the middle, it doesn't really contact the screen itself, ruining touch sensitivity.

I had a tempered glass on my s6+ it glued just fine but is it worth using

Have you guys experience touch sensitivity issues with wet screen protectors?

I think we have a misunderstanding between two Puerto Ricans. I meant the screen protectors that are applied using the wet method. I did not say my fingers are wet.

I put a Skinomi screen protector on mine yesterday. It goes on wet. Before this I've only used tempered glass but there isn't any good option for the Note 7 yet. I'm surprised to say that I'm happy with the Skinomi. It hasn't effected touch sensitivity or the pen, and feels good.

Are you using a case with it?

I've got a clear Ringke case that was 99 cents as a preorder. It just barely touches the corners of the screen protector. Doesn't seem to be pushing it up after a few days.

Had the Skinomi on for one day. Applied perfectly with no bubbles or lint or anything in a steam filled bathroom and then let sit for a day. Shortly after putting the case on, started bunching up on 2 corners and this was the case friendly film I might add. Next day I broke down and went to ATT store and put the curved plastic protector they had there. Better than nothing and plays well with my case.

Problem with that is not every case is the same. Sounds like your case goes farther up on the screen than mine. Which case had issues with the Skinomi?
