Maybe not scratch proof but I would probably say scratch resistant. I have hand my omnia7 for 7-8 months and it has one small scratch less than half a centimeter and thinner than a hair. it is only visible when the screen is off and i have cleaned it well or when it is on a white screen, if looking very closly there is slight discolouration.
i dont take perticular care of what goes in my pocket with my phone and and not extra cautious though i have only dropped my phone once onto a wooden floor.
in short I have a scratch that is barely noticable and i am not looking for a screen protector as i belive the disadvantages of haveing one would outweight the tiny advantage that having one may have. also i dont think anyone with a screen protector that has the scratch that i have would consider the bother of replacing it!
hope that helps!

thank you, NikD1.
Mine fell down, and - how else could it be - on the screen. This has happened now three times I think. Not a single scratch. Not even the tiniest one.
That screen is really great!
As I hate using protection foils that made me buy this phone
By accident dropped it 2-3 times, holds very well. The screen/phone i have in a special case tighten to the belt so that it does not get any scratches on the screen.
Amazes me that i don't have the tinniest scratch on my screen; the screen seems to be very effective against scratches and damages.
No case, no screen protector, always in my pocket, but separate from keys or coins
Fell once or twice from my hands, marble floor
Fell maybe 3 times from the table, marble floor
Fell twice down the road, on concrete
...plus it was submerged in beer !
it hold perfectly, but I do see a tiny dent right in the center of the screen when sunlight is quite strong. Nothing major, though
My HTC Desire at this point was way more battered
I don't use a case or screen protector and I've got the phone in my pocket everyday. After a few months still not a single scratch
I've had mine for 8 months and I have several scratches on mine. they are all from sitting in my pocket without anything else in them.
I noticed my first scratch quite early on (within a few months) but these scratches are actually pretty hard to see and you have to be looking for them pretty deliberately to see them.
I wonder if it is the same with the other folks... you may have scratches on your screen but you probably can't see them very well.
i dont understand why samsung dont have used glorilla glass for this device
When I compare my Omnia7 with my former phone(Xperia X1) is Omnia7's screen like a rock, but you can scratch if you carry it with key's or any sharp objects...
I carry my omnia in a Case around my waist and have no scartches yet

AFAIK it IS gorilla glass. (As it is the same as for the wave)
I don't think it has Gorilla glass, I got my phone, it was shiny and new, no scratches on the screen whatsoever (I inspected it thoroughly for defects) and after a few days of using, noticed a scratch when I cleaned the screen, thin as a hair but 2cm long Thankfully when I applied the screen protector, it has hidden it really well. I barely used the phone and I always kept it in my left pocket (which I only ever exclusively use for my mobile phone!)
i also have some scratches. after a month of use they appeared. i have no idea how they got there, i take a very good care of the phone, it never gets into contact with anything other than my fingers.
but the scratches are only noticeable when the screen is perfectly clean (which is almost never), turned of and looked from a specific angle.
I have more issues with grease. those guys are killing me.
Oh my god, so i'd better buy a screen protector for my omnia 7 :-(((
Yes, Gorilla Glass... After 3 months of use I still don't have a scratch (knock on wood) even without a screen protector...
no, it's not I am pretty sure... I got a little scratch now... I just want to cry now....
All I know is that both me and my sister got Omnia 7s back in November last year.
I put a screen protector and case on mine and am very careful with my phone and its still perfect.
She on the other hand has no case and no screen protector and is not very careful with her things. She has one little scratch on hers where her dog knocked it across a tile floor. It has been dropped numerous times and shoved in a bag with all sorts.
I'd say it's pretty resiliant.
A used phone without any scratches on the screen is a disgrace
Gorilla glass, even with the proper branding aren't totally scratch proof, to the best of my knowledge. Anyway, two omnia7 for 8 months, not a scratch (almost )
I have owned my sharp aquos crystal for about five days. No case no screen protector. Only after five days did I notice scratches all around the glass panel. Is anyone else besides me experiencing this problem. Is there a safe way to remove the scratches (they are light but I can see them still)
it isn't glass, that is why. it is made of plastic
Seeing that the front panel is completely covered in "glass" that actually is raised it would've been very stupid of sharp to use real glass. Even gorilla glass 3 will shatter with a drop if it is on a phone in the manner that it is on the aquos

Technically 'Acrylic'. But yes this phone will scratch pretty easily and the type of material it is will leave a pretty visible mark if it's deep enough.
Similar to this http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/A0/windshield-scratches-1211-mdn.jpg
Good news is that it won't break as easily if dropped, but say good by to those nice corners.
I only have had tge phone for like four days and it has three really bad scratches and one of the scratches is long and straight down near the center of the screen. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE SCRATCHES FROM ACRYLIC. I tried toothpaste but it did Bad enough the light bleed is distracting, now i have to be annoyed by this as well. Please help.
Scratches
I have the 306SH for 2 weeks and no scratches yet.
5 days old and two scratches later. Observations
My Aquos is now 5 days old and I can see two very fine 1/2" scratches already. I fear for the worst on this device over time. I had a ZTE N9500 with Gorilla glass and it was tough as nails. It had a very good feel when touched and was good at not holding fingerprints. I also use a capacitive touch pen stylus on the phones for notes and there I can see a noticeable difference. The glass is just superior. The Aquos is pretty, but it's Acrylic screen hold fingerprints far worst than the glass. With regards to the stylus, it's almost unusable on the Aquos screen. It's doesn't slide smooth and kind of sticks to the screen as its being dragged creating breaks in the lines being drawn. Anyone using a capacitive stylus with the squishy rubber bulb top to avoid fat finger keyboarding maybe deeply disappointed with this screen.
You guys don't believe in screen protectors? All my phones have gorilla glass but I still have screen protectors on them. Scratches will always happen sooner or later on phones eventually.

do they make screen protectors for the beveled edges on the side?

Anyone else have an issue with how easily the screen scratches. After a week my screen is completely covered in scratches. I never dropped or had keys in the same pocket as the phone. I thought GG4 should have prevented this. It is hard to use the phone now with all of the scratches. It is very distracting.
Zero scratches on mine, no screen protector (yet, on order) and do carry it in my front pocket.
No scratches on mine yet either. Only things that will scratch this screen are things that are harder, i.e. sand, some metal, diamonds. I know its too late now but I would suggest you turn your pockets inside out when you (or your laundress) does your wash. Sounds like you have some contaminates there.
maybe sand from beach? it can have quartz in it.
There are definitely no contaminates in my pocket. This phone scratches way easier than any other phone I have had. Funny I though the aluminium body is were I would have to worry, but nope, not a mark on the body. The glass on the other hand is badly scratched up.
Shame Nexus Protect doesn't cover these type of issues.
Spontaneous scratches? So you just woke up one morning and your screen was so scratched that you can't use the phone? Do you live in Area 51? I love to see a picture of that taken with your iPhone.
I never said they spontaneously showed up one morning. But the screen isn't as hard as people are claiming. I never had an issue with N5 and scratches, and now this screen is covered in them after only a week.
To be clear the phone is physically still very much usable. These are very superficial scratches only visible when the phone is dim and at specific angles. But it is very annoying when you see them.
The glass is gorilla glass 4.
It's harder than any gorilla glass that came before it.
Dems the facts...
I don't know what scratched your glass, but it isn't the glass's fault...
not a single scratch here
do u live close to the coast? have sand on ur pockets? Sand(silica) can be harder than glass and cause scratches
Mine uncovered for almost a week while I wait for screen protection.
No scratches.
I'm with GSMan201; I've had the 6p for about a month and after a week had multiple small scratches on the top of the screen near the speaker, and now I'm noticing more small scratches appearing on other parts of the screen. As previously mentioned, they aren't major scratches by any means and can only be seen with the screen off and phone held at certain angles. However, it's quite disconcerting as I had both the nexus 4 and nexus 5 and neither seemed to scratch as easily as this phone...... I should also mention scratches occurred when the phone was naked as well as with a wallet style case that covers the screen, and to my knowledge has never been in contact with materials that would have scratched it. On a positive note, it's the only disappointment I've had with the phone so far.
I've looked mine over closely and no scratches on the screen area at all. No case on the device, carried in a belt holder and no screen protector.
I've got a small scratch near my front-facing camera. It's just a matter of time before everyone's glass scratches, so be sure to get screen protectors.
It seems that these threads pop up for every popular phone. You should buy a screen protector based on whether you care if you're screen is scratched, not whether you think it will scratch or not. There's really no reason not to buy one now that glass screen protectors have gotten so cheap, even cheaper than the nicer plastic ones were just a few years ago.

I would bet that the coating on the screen is scratched and not the actual glass. Only takes a grain of sand or dirt in the pocket. These scratches don't distort the pixels so are only visible at certain angles and in direct light. I noticed (after wearing the same pair of jeans for a few days in a row ) that a few showed up on my 6P so I bought a TGSP. Gets a little cloudier in direct light than the naked screen but it's worth it for peace of mind. I've had these on every screen I've ever owned to some degree including iPhone 4s, 5s, 6 and... DINC!
anyone with diamond stub earrings?
Same here, three scratches, after less than a month, including a long one (and disturbing on white content) in the middle. All scratches are horizontal. I guess it's not Gorilla Glass 4... I still prefer this over a broken screen though, but it's not that pleasant

Phone screens always find a way to get scratched. No matter what the glass is, expect it to scratch. End of
Hi
I got my S7 3 weeks ago and overall it is a very nice phone.
However, I'm very disappointed how easily it scratches. I've always been good with not scratching my previous phones and especially with this brand new phone, I've been careful never to have it in my pocket with keys etc. Haven't dropped it a single time or done any other stupid things. Yet I already have plenty of scratches, even some pretty deep ones. The only explanation I can think of is that one day I had the phone in my pocket with my employee card (in a plastic casing, but no sharp edges etc.) and another day with my credit card. Also, I can't exclude the possibility that the head phones (but not the jack) may have swept the surface or that it may have hit the ziplcok of my jacket when taking it out. Either way, all completely trivial things I've done to tons of phones and never had a scratch problem. I noticed the first scratch a week ago, felt a bit bummed but it was very small so just thought I would be more careful. But today I found two new scratches, and one of them is pretty big! And I absolutely can't explain how it got there.
I was happy about this phone, now I'm just thinking how I can stand the wait for the 6 month contract to be up so I can get something to replace this piece of trash.
Considering that this phone is supposed to have Gorilla Glass 4 and the insane things it should withstand, I feel very angry and disappointed that I could be in this situation even after having been so careful. I even thought for a moment maybe the plastic protection screen was still on, because it feels like it scratches as easily as cheap plastic. I feel ripped off and actually think this should be a warranty issue. But would like to know if others had this experience with S7. I have found other threads about people commenting it scratches very easily, but that was from the early days. Now you have had it for a few weeks, how do you feel?
Also I would like to warn others who already bought this phone to be extremely careful and consider a case/bumper for it. And also, to people who haven't bought it yet, if you don't like cases and bumpers (which I don't) strongly consider if this phone is for you!
This is sad. I guess Corning took four step backwards with their gorilla glass 4.

I can confirm this phone scratches almost easier than any phone I've ever owned (and that's multiple flagships from multiple mfg's several times a year for YEARS)
The only phone that scratched as easy was the Nexus 4 and the S6 Edge+
It's really micro scratches, probably in the oleophobic coating, but damn.. and some may ask why didn't this happen on the Note 5? or the S6?
I can guess.. it's because the curve of the screen causes it to come into contact with surfaces more than a flat phone. Same thing with the S6 Edge+
Price you pay for the aesthetic. But it is micro scratches.. have to hold it at an angle in direct sunlight to see them.. I have 2 already. I always use a dedicated pocket with nothing else in it, and baby my devices like you wouldn't believe.
So yeah, it's annoying, but a deal breaker? Nah. This phone's badass.

I've had mine since the 8th of March and no scratches here. Where as the S6 edge I had scratched in 2 days.

I must agree with the thought of the curved glass causing it to come into contact with different objects. I've had my edge since launch day and I've got micro scratches close to the home button. Happened on my 6 edge too. I look at my wife's S4 active and there's not a single scratch on it. I baby mine by keeping clean pockets and watching wear i put it. She has a no care attitude about hers. Always thought corning would make progress with the newer versions but with the 6 last year and the 7 this year it seems like they regressed.
the glass maybe made in china
I've always used a case and a screen protector on all my devices, and this is no different, my only problem was that I didn't want to cover up the phone's look as I love the silver look on mine, I've always had black phones so this was a must for me, I loved the way it felt bare in my hands but scared me how delicate it also felt. I got the clear spigen neo hybrid case with the silver bumper/trim and it accents the look of the phone with minimal coverage while protecting it. I hate the difference in feel of the glass with a screen protector but I guess is a trade off for protection.

This is why i put a screen protector on day one.
Im waiting on my protector for this phone tho.
Sucks not having a protector on.
Better to screen that and replace it then strach your screen and not be able to.
Also most people misd understand the glass.
Rocks and sand are what sratch the screen the most.
Keys, knives , metal. Normally done.
Its all about a hardness. And something cant be sratch by something softer then it.
And glass is made from sand so it can scratch itself pretty easy.
So you might have had a small amount somewhere.
Hello,
Same for me. Never had scratches on my phones and now I got 3 little scratches. Can't understand how this could happen! Very dissapointed ?
i never use cases or films, took my s7 to the beach and got 2 micro scratches from the sand in my pocket but they are impossible to see without taking at least 3 seconds to find them at certain angles, the screen looks brand new really... usually id see heaps of easily visible micro scratches after going to the beach... just reporting my experience.
I can also confirm the S7 Edge definitely scratches more easily than the S6 Edge. Very disappointing.
Do you mean screen scratches or cover scratches? It is very strange that a gorilla glass 4 scratch so easily.
Sended from my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Gold Platinum
fully wrapped mine with protective film and screen protector since day one... don't want to take any chances.
but sad to hear that it is so easily scratched
its really does scratches fast.. didnt do anything besides putting it in the dock as desk clock and occasional two time walk around and it has a dual line of micro scracthes ... all you need to do is take wet finger and swipe across the screen all the scratches will be visible.
How come gorilla glass got scratches ? Maybe its not gorilla glass lying samsung shame on u
barely 24 hours into using the phone already scratched like mad. just in and out of empty pocket & several calls.
i've used 4s, 6s+, z3, 1+2 all NEVER scratched like S7e on day ONE itself. what a freaking shame.
#glassgate
I'm using it every day, I also dropped it twice, no screeches.
well i droped my phone twice now one with cover where the case took a few cracks not phone
and
second time it fell flat on the screen from bit below your knee to foot hight its fine no scratches or damage no cracked glass was really lucky
also i use am Iring now to prevent my phone from falling and it also works as a stand for your phone its a great product
my phone is s7 edge
oh im also using back cover debrand skin and screen protector at first i used a tampered glass but it kept poping out so i cchanged it to film
im extra careful no matter how good the screen is i wouldn't want any scratches
I don't even think they put real gorila glass on the back. I never put any kind of protection on my screens and never got any scratches on it. This stands true for the s7 edge, but the back is scratched even by the interior of a case for crying out loud.
I can confirm they are terrible.
I've also had this phone for a month now, and after a few days of using it it now has some small and one big "scar" which Samsung support and service says it's my fault, and of course they will do nothing about it..
I ordered a screen protector, but twice, it came broken, so I'll try a different store, which is sad to see since my S4, after more than 4 years is still scratch free!
we just purchased galaxy s7 edge last 2 weeks and there is 2 hairline scratches already i mean our family don't have point nails and my mom don't bring it outside whenver she goes its just on the house
and the home button has 1 scratch already wtf pls help?
i think the scratch is from the inside of the coating hmmm i can see it only when u flash a light or through the sun
You must buy a cover for this device. Moving with it inside your home, not putting in your pocket, placing it around, it's a definitely risky situation: there could be something that scratch back surface or front surface. Fortunately edges allow cover producers included Samsung to place higher corner at the top and bottom, so it stays on the front without touching what's leaned on. Glass scratches! EVER, gorilla will never tell you
I have the same issue.
I got my device on Monday, Tuesday morning i noticed the first big scratch on top of the screen.
Wednesday morning i noticed another one, this time on the bottom.
They are rather huge, and the funny thing is that when i clean the device, the scratches are gone.
When i use the device and the screen is covered with fingerprints, then they reappear. So I must assume that the oleophobic coating is damaged.
And i think I found out where it happened. In the pocket of my jeans on the inside I have stitches . Seems that when i move around, these stitches will rub on the device and destroy the coating.
This is the first phone where this happened. Ever.
Now i ordered a oleophobic spray and hope that I can repair it.
which spray did you order i need as well and from were
Fusso. Amazon. Expensive. I use rain x though. Apply liberally and then wipe liberally with slight damp microfiber cloth. May need to wipe a couple days to get it to desirable level of smoothness and not leaving bad streaks. But I also do this in screen protectors. I never use the glass directly.

Silly. Samsung uses the same Gorilla glass everyone else uses, and they all use similar oleophobic coatings.. It's no more susceptible to scratches than any other phone.
Yup, i got i minor one how i dont know but now i have a case and screen protector.

Just the front is gorilla glass, the back is normal glass.
And the back of the htc is metal, not glass. Stupid comment.
The front of every high-end Android phone sold in the US is Gorilla Glass 4. Yes, the same glass.
well thats me rip my s7 edge has back stratches already regret buying this ****
I've had my Note 4 for a year and a half, not a single scratch, hairline or other. Day 3 with my S7edge, I have several fine scratches. I don't know if it's the curved glass, but this screen is definitely not durable.

My previous S6 Edge+ got a hairline scratch on the display almost right away. It was only visible when the screen was clean.
That's the reason I put a protector on my S7 Edge the second I pulled it out of the box.
The SAMOLED displays definitely scratch easily, or at least the coating does.
