There are lots of threads about scratched, cracked and/or destroyed back glass of nexus 4.....but none about the front.....
I have gadgetshieldz installed but am planning to remove it......how does the front of the nexus 4 hold up to scratches? If you are using your phone without any screen guards how is it holding up?

i´m just using a bumper and no screenprotector since i bought my nexus, and i have 0 scratches on the front glass
it´s gorilla glass, it´s quite resistant...
+1, the front glass is very durable. No visible scratches on mine either, although in my case I use a full leather pouch case that protects the front and back.
A few very thin but long scrathes in the front glass, after 2 weeks of use.
After using SGS for 2 years, I thought the gorilla glass would be almost invinsible, but apparently I was wrong.
I always use a good case but haven`t used a screenprotector in my life so far. No scratches on the screen.
I have a bunch of hairline scratches on mine... was careful with it at first but once I noticed the oleophobic starting to wear off I stopped caring. I plan on reapplying it with something better once I wears it off completely (I read about some pretty cool stuff on these boards a while back I plan on digging up). They don't bother me in the slightest or I'd have used a screen protector to begin with, but that ruins the feel of the screen if you ask me. Bottom line is there's nothing you can do about grit/sand, it'll get you sooner or later.
after two months of moderately heavy usage without screen protection i have 2 microscratches therefore i think itd kinda resistant
my back has a ton of micro scratches, but that's fine, I've been to scared to use the front without a screen protector, just not willing to risk it lol
The front glass is quite resistant to scratches. I have no screen protector on my current s3 and its constantly in and out of my jeans with no scratches what so ever. However I do refuse to put my phone in my pocket with anything else, such as keys, coins etc.
I baby my s3 and I will do the same with my nexus when I get it tomorrow. So i will put a protector on it, since it's a new phone.
I'm using Poetic bumper for about 3 months now and there hasn't been a single scratch yet on the back as well as front,
I don't have a screen protector on the front but got a dbrand on the back. I don't keep my phone and keys in the same pocket and don't use my phone when its covered with beach sand.
Its pretty easy to avoid scratches unless you are the type of person who thinks Corning makes bullet proof screens for phones.

Bought myself a tampered glass screen protector from ebay.
Went totally wrong and gathered some dusk on the sticky side.
Is there anyway to clean this glass so it will be dust free?

You can find some videos on YouTube how to use plastic tape to remove them. Don't know if it works with a glass protector. But hey, it's worth to try.

What's the best way to holiday proof my phone to protect it from sand etc? Some sort of special case?
Screen protector is probably a must.
Something to cover charging and headphones ports?

First a tempered glass screen protector
Can you elaborate what even is that? Tempered glass? How do you apply it if its glass?

tempered glass is a screen protector that can be as strong as glass, for example if you are using it and you drop your phone and the tempered glass gets cracked you phone screen would be left intact, watch pass 3min mark
That's good. Looks like a gel type case should be enough. With a tempered glass screen protector. Just ordered port covers too for charger and headphone ports. They are for an S3 but exactly the same ports so should be fine.
I just don't want sand to scratch the phone or clog up any ports.

yea screen protector is very important when going to beach I learned this when I got the lifeproof case for my s3(nuud which I liked because it was waterproof and you had direct access to touchscreen) sadly sand doesn't agree with gorilla glass it scratches it like a cat and it's scratching post so tempered glass will help you just have to be careful with cases because the tempered glass is somewhat thicker than a regular screen protector and if you have a case which meets a specific size and rest on screen it may not fit together with tempered glass
Thanks for the help and suggestions. If anyone else wants to input further please feel free.

And put their own, or is the one the Op2 comes with good protection enough?
I took it off to replace with a spigen hd one. But it is a good one. Should have left it. Haha
Yeah I replaced mine with a glass one. The one on it is not to bad though. I just like glass protection and the feel.
Took it off today to replace with tempered glass, but it's OK protection for free.

Same as everyone else - I replaced it today after maybe 6-7 days and threw tempered glass on there. Smudge-free now.
Same. Replaced with tempered glass after a few days..prefer the feel and protection of tempered glass.

Well my uncle bough the opt for me, and I bought a tampered glass protector from OP for it, but my uncle says to use this one until it gets dirty then use the protector ;~; I can't argue since he bought me teh phone..

I have the tempered glass one for it from one plus but will wait a few days. Hard to believe it will be smudge free after I put it on. I was just concerned taking the free one off that it would leave some kind of residue.
It's a piece of cheap plastic which does no favors for either protection or screen clarity. Replace it with tempered glass, the difference is HUGE.

I have a pthink tempered protector coming, what's the best way to remove the original and replace with the tempered without dust and stuff getting underneath? Last time I tried I failed miserably and frisbeed the glass on into the wall
I just dislike screen protectors. Never had a problem with scratches on any phone in the past.
I ended up taking it off and put on tempered glass, I recommend it.

Which one did you install? Really smudge free?
Anyone installed the Non Glass screen protector from OnePlus ?
I have it and I'm wondering if it's better than the factory installed one.
I replaced mine with one of the Orzly tempered glass protectors, and it's WAY better than the stock. The stock one is fine, but it's a fingerprint/smudge magnet, and it's not as smooth as a glass protector. I've used Orzly protectors on all my devices and they're fantastic. The one I had on my 1+1 saved the screen after a drop in a parking lot. The protector took the impact and shattered instead of the screen.
Took off the free one in 24 hours. It was good except it was a fingerprint magnet. So many smudges. Happy with tempered glass.
I removed the stock, then applied the orzly tempered glass right after. Definite improvement!

The easy way of getting this explained is this. The phone comes with a thin layer that is OK at best. If you have a flip case then you might be happy with that but if your screen is going to be exposed then purchase a tempered glass 1. If your going to invest money in a device and it quite obvious that you will be looking at the screen a lot then protect it. Its not like it's gonna break the bank and you will never worry. ☺

I ordered the skinomi screen protector a few days before I ordered the phone. I never really thought about the wet application process and the speakers on the front of the phone. Has anyone successfully installed one of these without ruining their speakers? Thinking about just going tempered glass. Sigh.

I had it applied, no problems with speaker. But man its bad,not worth the money. I took it off and applied a cheap non wet screen protector. I'm waiting for my temper glass screen protector to arrive..
