I don't use one and haven't needed one.
Maybe if you carry your phone in the same pocket as your keys, or like dialing with the point of a bayonet....otherwise I see no need.

okej thanks m8 do u have nay scratch?
This has been thoroughly discussed in the accessories section.
I have the Zagg Invisible Shield and i like it. You can't notice it on the screen exept if there is sun like a lot of sunlight on it, but you do feel like a bit of a plastic everytime you tuch the screen, i mean it is not that smooth to the feel, but the phone registers your touch every time with no problem.
I use one I got from bestskinsever.com (I think), its great. Takes a little getting used to the texture as you're obviously not touching bare glass anymore but it definitely does the job well, no discolouring or marks on my phone since using it
Why use a Display Shield when you have a Gorilla Glass onboard?
To be, or not to be: that is the question!
you don't need a screen shield
the glass is harder than the shields
i tried to scratch it with keys and it just can't be scratched
a firend of mine did it. and why not be on the safe side if you can?
havent used a screen protector since i bought the phone about 8 months ago
i havent got any visible scratch on the screen. not even under the sun
maybe when i use a microscope, then yes, but mmm.. im not going to
Had mine bare for 8 months as well and the screen still looks perfect, and trust me I'd notice any significant blemishes. Just the other day I wiped it clean and looked under bright light and could only see a couple of near-microscopic scratches.
A shield would ruin the feel IMO. I just keep out in its own pocket and hold it tight.

I prefer having one than not too... I had one so far and know that i removed i see i'd rather have one on for extra protection. After all Gorilla glass can be scratched too (although it's not easy to scratch it). I'm on the "better safe than sorry" side but for others who are very careful with the phone i would just suggest a case!
It is not neccesary for scratches but it may help to protect the screen from shattering when you drop it..

the force that is needed to scratch this glass would also scratch it past one of the screen shields
screen shields are useless for this phone, they just make it look uglier... and in some cases like zaag they also add a rubbery feel which ruins the smooth experience
I've had mine in my pocket with a hand full of screws an no scratch on the display

only if you drop a Hello Kitty cookie jar lid on it from 6" up in air. Friend did it and shattered the glass somehow. Hence forth he has a Hello Kitty skull/crossbones on his car window

to be honest it's unnecessary but for me it's annoying to wipe my screen everytime it gets dirty, and with a screen protector it doesn't smudge as easily
I took off my screen protector and now have a scratch. Its only visible if you switch off display and see the screen under a bright light. The back cover really needs some protection cause its a scratch magnet.
Gorilla Glass is resistant to everyday scratches, like from dust particles and carrying it in your pocket and things like that. No screen is resistant to high force impact.
I've had my Galaxy for over a month now and the display glass is still pristine (and I use it in differrent environments)! I had a Desire which was durable to some extent as well, but I managed to scratch its screen somehow. This phone? No problem whatsoever.
The plastic casing, however... the back cover has visible "signs" of usage
Strangely enough I have had some mixed experiences with gorilla glass.. My own galaxy GT-i9000 went 2 weeks and the screen was fine.. then i decided my fingers had grubbed it up a little too much.. took my cleaning cloth for my glasses and went to work only to find i had basically put hairline scratches over the whole screen.. Not terrible mind you but noticeable under bright lights or on low screen brightness..
On the other end of the scale I convinced a friend to get the galaxy s also.. Walking down a dirt road, he tripped while holding the phone and it slip maybe 5 meters down the dirt.. not a single scratch.. the plastic was a bit tarnished though from bouncing around.
Hey basically I've got quite a large but thin scratch on my screen and I have no idea how it got there cause I haven't touched the screen with anything sharp only my finger and the s pen.. So I'm sure it's the s pen that made the mark, but does anyone know how to get scratches out of the screen or hide them? Cause it's really annoying to look at when on a black screen or when the screen is off in the light, also does anyone know a way to prevent the phone from getting finger print marks and smudges off the phone? When I go outside and use my finger on the screen it gets kind of sweaty sometimes and makes annoying marks on the screen is there anyway to prevent this?

perhaps some screen protector would solve your issues!

It's there for life unless you scratch and buff out the whole screen or replace the screen.

Sadly, I think the scratch is a permanent thing
I had a similar occurrence years ago with a bit for debris - probably sand - getting on a stylus and scratching a phone screen.
I wonder if a screen protector, particularly one of the glass ones, would help?
This is exactly why i think gorilla glass is over-rated. I had a light scuff on my screen by day 3 of owning this phone and the only places i leave it are in an empty pocket or on my desk. I bought a tempered glass protector and it covered it pretty well but still pretty bothered about it.
I dont think the rubber tip of the s spen could scratch a gorilla glass lol. The only thing you can do is put a screen protector on it. Over time you will just forget about the scratch underneath. I had this happen before. Never again will I go unprotected on a $700 investment.

Cheers for the replies lads anyone got any idea for a great cheap screen protector that will cover the screen and not lose clarity?

How does your S6 edge look like after weeks of usage? Does it have scratches or other sign of usage? Do you use it 'naked' or protected with a cover? Please post pics of your phone condition.
Thanks.
I bought my 2nd hand S6 Edge.
There are 2 tiny scratch on screen.
(The previous owner use it without screen protector and use with official clear cover case.)
I use it naked. Had a tiny scratch on the back, but I attached a d-brand back so no visible scratches anymore. The front and sides look like new. I git a few tiny scratches on the home button. They are only visible when the light hits it directly.

Mint condition, no scratches or scuffs, no case as i don't like them but i do have a dbrand skin as you can see ?
After months of usage, the only difference in appearance is the earpiece has superficial scratches. Also the screen protector has begun to peel off
I dropped my phone a few times already. I have this gel-like case (Ringke) and it's still scratchless. It dropped twice face down. But the Home button, geez. On the FIRST WEEk, yes, FIRST WEEK, it already accumulated a lot of scratches even though I wasn't a Home button guy even on previous phones.
After a couple of months of ownership with no case, I noticed a small scratch on the home button. There's also small scuffs on the edge all around the metal band. Overall, not bad
Unfortunately main looks like a tank that is because cannot stand the battery life of my phone so i decided to buy a this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331562403221 . Now am relatively happy because it save my phone couple of times (landing on concrete)though no scratches what so ever.
home button scratches

The clear skin still looks perfect the case has started to look a bit scuffed the rubber edge is OK it's the plastic back

Mine is fine, had Ghost Armor installed the day I got it on both front and back and been switching between my puregear clear case and UAG frost case.
Iv had mine in a spigen neo hybrid case since the day it was released with screen protector back and front.
Only damage I have noticed is the fingerprint scanner has small scratches all over it and the flash cover next to the camera scratches very easily!!
I've had full screen protector on and nothing else and it's fine no marks at all I do use a pouch to carry it in, was thinking of getting dbrand skin for the rear but I love the gold/platinum

scratches on screen even though I've been super careful.
I've never had a phone that scratches this easily.
even with the faint scratches, one on birth front and rear glass, this has definitely held up much better than previous Corning Gorilla glass versions i've had from previous phones.
I went naked for the first week. both the screen protectors I tried later on annoyed me and so I ditched them. I went through several protectors for the rear and sides. here are how they have faired...

Well I would have posted about how my phone has held up, except I am on my 4th S6 Edge in 5 months. First one fell victim to a water/rain catastrophe, so did an insurance claim, second one had a wonky home button so did a warranty exchange, third one had a malfunctioning recent apps soft key so did a warranty exchange.
Between spending money on Skinomi skins for each and 2-3 hours setting up each phone, I am having the worst run with smartphones ever.
Mine has a nice, large shattered portion on the left of the screen, near the volume buttons. Also has a few other cracks... Love the phone nonetheless.
Faint scratches on the screen then dropped it landed on the corner lucky on a dent
After only four months of use, I had to send mine away for repair due to screen burnin. Worst screen burnin I have ever seen. Sorry, didn't take any pictures of it at the time to show now. Got it back now with a brand new screen.
Where was the burn in? I'm having it on the bar at the top of the screen where all the info is..my wife has it to with her edge

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.
scratches on samsung devices are a known thing since long ago.. nothing new here

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.

you sure its the same glass?

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.
My screen protector keeps coming off.. M sick n tired of getting it replaced every other week.. how quickly wud the screen start to get scratched if I take it off?
PS: I've never ever used a phone without screen protector.. even my nokia n70 and 5800 had screen protectors on them so I dunno how I wud use my phone..

I guess that's depending how you're treating your phone.
However, the S7 is pretty much resistant. I don't use any screen protector and have it in my pocket and nothing serious or even obviously visible happened the last year.
Pants pockets, jacket pockets, purses, backpacks.
If you use the flip feature, where the screen has to be facing down, the surface its in.
Basically anything that rubs against thee screen repeatedly can eventually start to leave scratches.
You can also get a flip case. Wife and I both got our edges 2 months ago, flip case on mine, no screen protector on hers. Between her jeans pockets, jacket and purse, I'm already seeing some minor scratching on hers.
I personally use this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01C...dge+g+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51NcjgIktML&ref=plSrch
I like this one, because the "window" actually has a clear plastic piece, so it minimizes the stuff that can harm the screen.
The metal slider on the front doesn't harm the screen, but allows you to answer / decline a call without opening the case.

Front screen is pretty scratch proof, unfortunately screen on back side is different story , micro scratches are all over..
Small hairline scratches will happen but its mostly only noticeable when you are looking for them. If you clean your screen good and go out into the bright afternoon sun and angle it to where the sun bounces off its easier to spot them. I even see the shiny silver film beyond the screen and a bunch of rainbow like colors in one area doing that lol.
Ohh... then I shall deal with the peeling protector... wanna keep it safe.. been 2 months only n have to wait for note 8 or pixel 2 before I change my phone..
