I removed mine last week. Feels so much better and smoother, but I already have 1 tiny micro scratch near the ear piece. Barely noticeable but frustrating since I won't even lay the phone face down and baby it.

How did you manage to scratch it?

I took mine off to put the official 3d tempered glass screen protector on. I did not like that one, so now my phone is naked while I wait for a different one.
No scratches so far, and I've dropped it on tile a few times :fingers-crossed:

I have no clue. I bought the OnePlus tempered glass but it sucked so I took it off. I've ordered an orzley one, but I'm not sure when it'll be here.

I've ordered the Orzley tempered glass protector and have left the factory installed protector on until it arrives. The factory installed screen protector already has small scratches as it is a very low quality vynl protector. This will be the first device that I've had used tempered glass but I always use a screen protector having learned my lesson way back in the pre-gorilla days. I simply hate the inevitable tiny scratches plus I hold onto my devices longer than most people. E.g. I came to this OP5 from a Nexus 5. I've also bought a cheap gel case and am waiting for a dBrand skin.

Ear wacks?

I removed it... Tried the glass from OnePlus, but it sucked hard to be honest. It didn't fit at the edges... I'm hoping that since the phone has gorilla glass, it would not scratch so easily. The phone looks much better without the factory protector.

Screen scratching easy.

Has any body noticed the glass scratches way to easy. I have had my phone face down maybe a few times and I noticed some scratches.

It depends on what was on your desk. A few hard particulates will scratch it, just bad luck.

TBH 1 use the cheap china ones on ebay. Have for a tablet and 2 phones.
Around a buck with free shipping.
I have honestly never had an Issue and they have done perfect work.
Hell, I got a TPU case for 1 dollar, free shipping too. I don't mind the sometimes 2 week shipping.
Just my 2¢

Protect your phone glass by having a good case and only placing your phone in its own compartment in either a pocket or your purse. Do not have any lose items such as keys, coins,or other metal objects in the same compartment as your phone and do not place your phone face down no matter what. Voila a screen with no scratches......and no need for a tempered glass screen protector...may as well buy a S5 active if you need this.

What kind of tempered protector? So far on amazon all tempered glass protectors failed for N4, due to sloped edges on screen.
I work in mobile sales and often put on screen protectors. I see lots of people come in with phones(iPhones,Andriods etc) only a few days old and they have light scratches on the screen. The scratches aren't noticeable when the display is on though. The fluorosilane coatings(oleophobic ) can raise the glass surface hardness to 9H, which is very hard. Pretty much no metals can scratch the cover glass but even a tiny sand grain on the desk that you don't see can easily do some damage on a display when it's played face down, sand and other similar grit is the real enemy when it comes to scratches since it's one of the few things hard enough to scratch the cover glass.

How clear is that glass? And how much of the actual screen is covered?
My spigen plastic covers just barely cover the black screen
I ripped off my Zagg's tempered glass SP from my previous Note 3 and placed it onto my Note 4. It's doing the job quite well!

Am I the only one impressed by Gorilla Glass 4?

Am I the only one impressed by Gorilla Glass 4? I find the Glass on the Note 4 more resilient to the elements than its predecessors. Do we really need screen protectors on this beauty?

Yes we do.
Today I was very dishearted to notice a few micro scratches on my screen.
So now I have to buy a screen protector as I prefer using the phone naked. I was hoping to not buy one because the phone is so beautiful and glass protectors are so expensive, but compared to the amount I will have to pay to get an insurance claim on the phone, it's cheap. I am so disappointed in myself. I love my phone very much and thought I was taking very good care of it, but I guess I wasn't as careful as I should be. I bought into the hype of GG4 and not it's going to cost me.
Owed my Note 4 since its release with no screen protector and far not one scratch.
But in fairness I'm usually good about not getting scratches on my phone. Im always aware when I put it in my pocket making sure I have no keys for items that will cause scratches.
No scratches here. I'm rocking the tech 21 impactology case (most of the time), no screen protector.
I've had this note 4 since the 3rd day they were out.
I will always use a screen protector...for the sole fact that its a biatch to keep it clean lol
I was able to buff out the micro scratches. Still looking for a good screen protector though.

Glad you got the micro scratches buffed out. We sell a lot of these:

Keep a screen protector on. It helps with the resell value.
Can't allow even the slightest scratch to impede my vision while watching movies on the moon... so yes, I use protection.

They were really hard to see so I just kept rubbing the area with a micro fiber cloth for about 30 minutes. They are still there but you have to put the phone real close to your face with light coming from the side.
I found a $25 tempered glass screen protector today after work at a mobile phone store. There is a halo effect, but I feel much better now. I'm still looking at this one though.

Is the camera glass Gorilla Glass? Cause I got a pretty big gouge on it. Luckily it is off center.
Yeah, about the micro scratches...are they just a scratch on the coating of the glass? Wait, does the glass have a coating?

The micro scratches most likely come from pieces of sand in pockets. They can do a number on a display.

Doesn't toothpaste cover small scratches? Might wanna try that.
There is always this debate with every new phone. I got a few micro scratches in the first month of owner ship. Just like every other device. Better safe than sorry because unless your screen is made of diamond resistant is not the same as scratch proof.
Lol screen protector is not expensive . Got me a pair of 6 really good ones I love them came even tell they are there. DO NOT BUT ANTI GLARE. It ruins the beautiful display. Got mine for $13 from Amazon.

Used tempered glass through out my note 3. Bought one for my note 4 till it got nasty. Got some regular ones that supposedly they are made for AMOLED display and RETINA.

Im impressed by it . . . I I dropped my phone on the train platform after stepping out the train with sview case. Screen was still flawless.
Needless to say I did but an otterbox as my commuter and save the s view when I wann abe sexy.
Overall the note 4 drop test versus nexus 6 really shows the strength of CGG4.
The tmobile screen protector is pretty decent, they are $18 but they will usually discount to $10. Most important it does not impede vr gear. After a week of use the protector smooths out and is completely unnoticeable to touch. For gear s I use the Iq screen protector and it's flawless
I got my Note 4 home, examined and admired it's beauty, and then put it in an otterbox defender!!! Better safe than sorry!

Has anyone actually taken off the screen protector?

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.

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!
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
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. ☺

Should I use a the Edge without a screen protector?

I really have troubles finding a good screen protector for the device since Im not living in 1st world countries. Chinese ones have the curved parts peeled off after 1 or 2 days.
I'm ordering armorsuit films on Amazon and it takes a month to deliver, should I put away the device and wait for the protectors delivery before using it?
Yes imo use one keeps resell value high

I had very bad experience with magnetic films (like Spigen one) on curved screens (s6 edge), the sides dont stick at all. The Armorsuit protectors work better since it is sillicon-like films (soft) with an abrasive layer to make sure it sticks, it has self healing to.

Awesome, I'll look into it.
How does the self healing mechanism work?
It heals minor scatches, go to their website for more info armorsuit.com
Not a fan of screen protectors on curved screens. Had a 920 back in the day (granted screen protector tech has come a long way) but i tried for a few weeks and then took it off.
Dont use them on any phone now, really all it does is stop scratches (which dont happen frequently with new gorilla glass).
If you want drop protection get a good case.
My s6 edge has some scratches after 3 days, though they're not deep but still leave minor distortions on screen which annoys me very much
I ordered the Ultimate shields and they work fine for me. Dificult to install tho

Been going case free since my Note 3 and protector free since my note 4. My Note 4 did get a scratch on the screen but I just couldn't stand the tempered glass protectors' terrible fit on the Note 4 and 5 and the soft protectors felt like crap when using the stylus... I'm not fond of the glare so I've got a Matte Skinomi screen protector on the way for the screen and one of their front and back film kits to just apply to the back side (it wasn't available in matte, hence the two orders)... We'll see. If I do end up getting a case it'll only be on the phone when I'm working in the garage or doing working on finishing my basement.

All these wet-apply protectors like Armorsuit are just awful; hideous orange-peel look, awful touch response, miserable experience...
in my opinion
I have been using gadgetshieldz protectors for a while now. Very good protection in my opinion. Protects the curved edges both on the front as well as back. Ordered one for my edge 7 and mine is on the way now. I have been using their textured skins too on my OP2 and they are fantastic. Exactly the same as the Dbrand ones.
Have a skinomi front and back protector with a symmetry case. Applied perfect but the case is now picking the corner up ruining the protector. I think I'm going to just rock it without a protector

Screen Protector options

I'm just jumping from the Moto x4 to S9 Plus
My protector option is one from the ************. I really love to have my S9Plus away from the scratches. As I'm having previous experience with the ************so I'm suggesting to get one from them.
They started shipping but I didn't got mine. Have you bought one from them and received it??
I bought the one from BigBen. Fit perfectly. No problem after 1 week. Just improve screen sensitivity.
I just installed the Whitestone Dome Glass on my S9+. Very easy to install and looks great so far. It doesn't seem to be compatible with the Spigen case I bought though, particularly the lower portion, I'm going to let the glue cure a bit longer and try it again.
UPDATE: I had the dome glass installed just a bit too low on the screen. I removed the glass and adhesive, then reinstalled and made sure the dome glass was correctly centered on the screen. Works great with the case now. Highly recommend this.
Bodyguardz is a more expensive option, but lifetime warrenty. I want to say it's about 10 bucks shipping for the warrenty replacements. I got mine at AT&T when I got my s9 plus yesterday. They installed it for me but it comes with a guide thingy like the Whitestone one.

I bought one too, and concur. Fingerprint magnet, and ruins sensitivity. You have to turn on increase sensitivity in the advanced settings, and still it's a bit wonky.

Amazon.com link above. $9.00
Got this on Amazon.ca for under $15 CAD, it's curved, applied with zero bubbles and it works really good after raising the screen sensitivity.
Just installed the whitestone dome, I simply couldn't be more impressed. Make sure you watch the installation video a couple of times before applying… but it is hands down the only protector i will be buying from now on for all of my devices.

Otao case friendly
I got the Otao case friendly version for the S9 Plus from Amazon.com (ASIN: B07BSFLLKY). Rather than give a separate review here, this is what I have added as my review on Amazon. I hope this is allowed.
I had the Otao on my S8 and was very happy with it. On one occasion I dropped my phone. The screen protector cracked, which is what you would expect from a glass screen protector, but it saved the screen of my phone.
I was a bit wary when I read the first reviews of the S9 Plus version (which had a different ASIN number) but then I heard they were updating it. They reached out to me to offer me to try the new one (free of charge) which I just received. The main complaint about the previous version was not enough glue on the edges (it is edge only sticking) but the new version apparently has more glue and it certainly has stuck well on my S9 Plus. Obviously, the proof of the pudding will be it it still sticks well after it has been on a while and I will update my review if it develops a problem.
The installation tray makes it very easy to instal.
I am using it with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case and they fit together very well.
As I said, I did not have to pay for the protector but this review is my honest opinion and, if I did not like it, I would have said so.
Just to add - the packaging recommends turning on the touch sensitivity setting in Settings but so far I haven't found that necessary.

Does the glue cover entire surface of the screen or only the edges?
I’m looking for one that covers the entire screen most I’ve seen only covers partial off the top and bottom so it still looks like there’s a screen protector. I need fill coverage from top to bottom.
Another vote for the whitestone dome!
I've tried several tempered glass screen protectors since the S6+, and they all suck because the adhesive has trouble sticking to the edges so the sensitivity is terrible. The dome is the first I've used that I'm legitimately happy with.
The installation process is really intimidating at first because the process is different from your typical screen protector. But once you do it once and get the technique down, it's actually pretty fool-proof. The tray basically ensures that the alignment is perfect and adheres well. I happened to screw up the first time because my table wasn't fully level and the adhesive didn't disperse evenly and I got a tiny bubble...so don't take that little detail for granted. Luckily they give you two bottles of adhesive, and when I moved to a level counter and put it on a second time the adhesive spread perfectly on its own and it was really easy.
