My Z008 has got scratches out of nowhere. I always check before placing my phone under pant pockets. Still don't know how come these scratches are appearing. Now looking for a screen guard.
It's the gorilla glass 3 problem, I had the same scratches on my galaxy s5,so I got a tempered glass which is allot better in terms of micro scratches.
But fear not it's not the actual glass that is being scratched but the nano coating on top of the glass which is used to give a soft slide feeling, that's why you only see then with the screen off and from an angle.
The camera lens also gets scratched pretty easily, ad the glossy black plastic frame around the screen also develops small dents even if my phone is in a Ringke case.
I guess they really had to cut corners to give good specs at a cheap price.

Same here. the black bezel is easy scratched . I already have alot of scratches on my screen and almost 70 % on my camera lens. I only have my phone for 2 months . And got a case for it after 2 weeks.

With original zen cover no scratches, both zcreen and camera lens. Only a little scratch from wife's dimond earring near front cam, she forget to close cover before phone call, so for me filmscreen is waste of money and touch felling, useless
Apparently all material very soft. Frame around screen really soft.

I have had my phone since mid July and no scratches, black bezel around camera lens still perfect. Phone goes into my pocket every day. I use a dedicated pocket ie: nothing else goes in that pocket.
With the inexpensive Ringke case Impossible to scratch camera bezel or lens when placing phone on its back as it is then inset. For people that carry stuff in pocket with the phone I am sure a case would help prevent scratches. $200 or $300 for the phone spend $10.99 for a case. Lots of people must be buying the case as price has gone up several dollars since I got it.
Tempered Glass protector
If you all are experiencing these micro scratches, it's sort of an inevitable thing. Gorilla glass scratches with grains of sand or little things from your pocket. If you're really worried about your phone, you can purchase a tempered glass screen protector, and a case to fully protect your device!
Case and tempered glass screen protector are a must. Added them as soon as I took my zen out the box
Tempered glass save my screen from crack also.
Even glass broken, but my phone screen is protected.
I've had no issues other then dropping and breaking the screen but the repair guys told me this phone for the cost is really well built with easy repairability

I quit using a case months ago (cheap crappy pleather wallet case I bought for it just irritates me, and my wife pinched my clear soft gel case). No scratches on screen, one or two minor dents on the black plastic edges but you'd need a magnifying glass to notice them. Very pleased - my previous phone (black slate iPhone 5) got scratches on it if you as much as looked at it, and silver scratches on slate iodised aluminium looked bloody awful.
i have a cover and dont worry about scratch )
Yea same problem got alot of faint scratches out of nowhere threw a tempered glass on
Have quie a few phones and tablets, every one since the Samsung Galaxy S3 has had a tempered glass screen protector installed.
I know this phone is supposed to be cheap in comparison with say, the note 5, but I don't have around $500AUD to throw away just because I cracked the screen, even $200 to repair is a kick in the nuts....
Those glass protectors have helped a lot of my phones survive intact.
I don't care if I don't notice the scratches when the screen is on.
For those hoping miracles on gorilla glass:
Diamonds only can be scratched by diamonds
Sapphire only can be scratched by sapphire or diamonds
Gorrillaglass can be scratched by the diamonds, sapphire or whatever is harder than GorillaGlass, this is the rule.
Where you can find things harder than gorilla glass?
a Jewelry ? sure,
the floor? - maybe, some dirt particles actually are are sand, in some places sand is composed by limestone someties harder than gorillaglass.
your pockets? very likely specially if you have two cellphones, the sapphire cover on the lens camera easy can scratch the gorillaglass on other phone, also some pencils have diamond particles on its graphite, further DIAMONDS PARTICLES ARE VERY COMMON, SINCE SiNTETIC DIAMONDS ARE USE AS ABRASIVE ON MANY DRILLING TOOLS.
So, protect your gorillaglass if you hate scratches, harder is not warranty to be invulnerable.
I just got my G5 Plus. I want to know that is ok to have nothing on screen for protection or I get a screen protector or tempered glass?
Btw which ram variant you got? 4 GB one? How's initial impression? All good?
Yeah, 4GN one... All seems perfect... All good... Took pics as well.., Pic was very good crisp and very good
Screen protectors only protect from micro scratches, which will in any case be minimal on a gorilla glass protected display. Tempered glass (in india) are the cheapest possible slabs of glass with adhesive which makes any mobile look goofy and cheap. I really dont think either of this protects your phone in case of a fall. get a nice case and be done with.
Cool. I am waiting for mine to be delivered
Oh and ya I'll be using glass protector for bestest safety.
@ batmobile_bang Yeah I will be getting a good case for sure but was asking about the screen. As it attracts fingerprints so I was thinking to have screen protector on it. What you think? will it be good to have screen protector?
BTW i hate tempered glass
I am waiting for neelkin cases and screen glass to get released.
Hi, does anyone know if this screen is made of toughened glass such as Gorilla Glass, or should I get a case that also protects the screen?
It comes with a plastic screen protector. I bought a two pack of glass ones on Amazon for it for $10 out of habit. They have saved a variety of screens for me on phones and like the feel of glass protectors to plastic.

A little story: When I bought my Huawei mobile, people smiled when I added a protective hard glass screen. Three days later, whilst reaching for something from a shelf, I knocked a pair of wire-cutters down. They fell, points down, hit the screen about 10mm in from the edge and the glass shattered. The underlying phone's screen was perfect, and with a new protective screen, is still perfect two years later.
Need I say more? When I ordered the MediaPad M3, a hard glass protective screen was ordered at the same time.
The only negative, is that it makes the fingerprint scanner *a little* more difficult to use, but it still works every time!
It hasn't. My mediapad 8.4 damaged from many micro scratch badly.
Although my Mate had a tempered glass protector, it felt and the original screen is cracked, not the protector .
On internet I can find screen replacements but is it possible to separate the glass from the screen?
With the Mate 9 you have to replace the whole thing plus digitizers
Expensive but if it's Huawei, they do a fantastic job and you get a great screen back with all the coating and everything. Feels fantastic.
Hello, my brand new HTC U Ultra got a 5 cm long scratch recently for not known reason! Cared for it, but now it's scratched. Luckily, the scratch is barely visible. It can be seen only in bright conditions or when screen is on. I ordered tempered glass screen protector right when ordered the phone. Phone came sooner, of course, and after week of usage, the Gorilla Glass 5 got scratched. I'm sad and it looks very bad from some viewing angles, wanna have my phone to look good. The question is simple. Can the screen protector hide that scratch, which is not too deep, but I feel it with my fingernails. Maybe the adhesive on the back can cover it?
