I've had the phone for 24 hours now, and I've already noticed a lot of tiny scratches at the top of the display (by the camera/2nd screen). Several of these scratches go right across the camera, and they all seem to be going vertically up and down the glass right at the curve point. I truly haven't set this phone down screen side down, and the only thing I can think of is it getting scratched going in and out of my jeans. I keep it in my right front pocket all by itself. I'm super disappointed in the glass so far. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: Photo's.

Mine did as well, I removed it first thing because it had 4 small bubbles in the middle of the display. I just figured it was for transport like every other phone comes with. I'll post photos in my original post.

I've been keeping my Touch HD carefully covered while waiting delivery of a screen protector.
When I came to apply the screen protector, I was horrified to discover that the top touch layer of the display seems to be separating from the glossy black bezel underneath in places
Note that the very edge doesn't seem to be separating, it seems to be just "internal".
Although it doesn't seem to affect operation of the device, it looks rather unsightly and I'm especially peeved after looking after it so carefully.
Anyone else seen anything like this ?

Don't wait and take it back to the shop for exchange!!!
Isn't that your screen protector coming off???
check carefully around the camera: if you see an edge, i bet you already have the screen protector! once i applied mine incorrectly, i could see exactly the same effect...but it was the film...
OMG, I am so dumb
I had peeled off the printed "protector" that came on the display when I bought the device, but there is indeed ANOTHER ONE underneath
It must have been applied so perfectly at first that I could not even tell it was there !
Thanks so much guys.. PANIC OVER, I hope

No more panic for other users! Thread renamed and closed!
Earlier when I turned my G1 over, I found multiple lines on the back of the battery cover, I have no idea what they are but they obviously don't look very good. The phone has always been kept in a case and only today have I noticed them. I have a white G1 so the cover is a light bronze color. The lines resemble lines made by a pen very lightly. However, after applying alcohol (hand sanitizer), water, soap and intense rubbing it will not come off. Has anyone ever scratched their cover? What does it look like? I know this is a very... strange question to ask haha.

Yeah it is. I mean, really...it's probably a scratch.

suppose we can't really tell unless you get us some pics
my guess is, it's either a scratch or a crack.
I cant take any pics... they don't show up very well in the picture. But ah well, my Shield Skin comes in a few days, and new themes will be released in like a week from the competition to make me feel better. In the end I will probably end up just buying another battery case for 10 bucks off eBay. Must be my OCD haha.
Hi guys,
For a long time I'm wondering is there's a plastic layer on the camera when you buy it. I notice something that could go for a plastic ring-formed layer around the camera lens, that holds a little dust at the rounded edges with time, but cant be pulled off? I tried all differend kind of things, but it won't come off... Still, I asked everyone of my family to see if they agree they see a plastic ring too, and they all said yes..
Have you noticed anything like this on your S4 camera?

Yes, there is a plastic guard on camera.
In my case, it popped out a bit from corner some months ago, which I later pulled off.
I cant seem to pull it..
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
there is a plastic layer over it
remember I tried to pull it off also and had some trouble since it seem not to remove
try with a sharp razor (at least that way I managed to remove it)
Anybody else do this, or am I crazy???

Maybe a little bit but hey, all in all a simple and clever idea!

If you have a phone with a raised camera, then I found the feet on the bottom of routers and cablemodems work pretty well! Comcast will never know it's missing.
I also do but not like you
I have managed to microcut the camera lens too, can't see the cuts without good lighting but I have.
Never done it on any of my devices. The lens is receded into the body anyway, so there's no real risk of marks or scratches.
Also, the Nilkin tempered glass screen protector comes with two little protectors for each of the camera lenses.
More for than just earwax
Daughter has an X+ and she did quite a number on the lens. So much, that all of her pictures taken came out ghostly...
I pulled out my handy drill, a cotton swab, some toothpaste mixed with a bit of water, and started polishing that sucker. Did that for about 4 minutes (being careful not to stay in one place too long) and it removed all of the micro scratches she had caused by putting her phone into her rear pocket
Hello guys,
My friend got a oneplus 5 and it has a groove on the upper middle of the camera ring? Do you guys have it to or is it some mechanical flaw
sure it doesn't affect the glass now but I'm worried the glass is more prone to cracking now..maybe. Anyway today is day one so there is ability to get it replaced so let me know thanks!

That's so funny because when I opened the box it was like the first thing I noticed. And I thought, what the heck is that! It's definitely part of the design though. As somebody pointed out I guess it's for NFC. Which makes sense.
