I suggest the latter option but just keep in mind that sometimes it wont work as it depends on the quality of your tempered glass. Some bad ones leave those forever.
Get replacement. There's no way to seal by itself.

Those are the same protectors I got and I only had some very mild amounts of this around the edges, most of which I was able to smooth out. There's just a tiny (1mm) spot that remained and it doesn't bother me. I followed the video instructions they reference rather than their printed ones and I think it made the difference.

Screen was not completely clean or protector defective.
The screen on an LG G6 is flat.
You should never see that.

I post this problem on reddit.
A guy from there told me there was a dust in that area.So he suggest me to lift that part and clean it with dust sticker.
But only lift+clean that area causes more dust+sticker glue on there.
So i open it up fully & reinstall the glass.
But those holo effect is there.
Did you reinstall the old one, or put on a new one? If you reinstalled the old one, the dust is going to stick to it and there's no way to really get it off. You need a brand new one.
If you installed a new one, one of two things is going on. Either you are not cleaning the screen as well as you think (maybe you have some really stuck small particle there), or you are getting something under the edges when you install it.
To help with the first, you might want to use a magnifier with a light to check. Make sure to use the dust remover stickers. It may help to apply in a humid bathroom (run the shower for a while if needed) to keep the floating dust down.
To help with the second, make sure you are not holding the protector with your fingers AT ALL after removing the plastic from the adhesive side. You should have guide stickers attached to the top side (the surface you will be touching once it's applied), sticking out over the edges, which you hold on to. Don't try to hold the protector by the edges with your fingers. If you make a hinge with the stickers like they show you in the video, it's pretty easy to line it up and you don't have to touch it at all.

Or a Torx driver to just put it back together.
so if i'm interpreting the picture right, the gap which quite alot of us are seeing, is irrelevant really as any dust ingress can't actually get onto the screen due to the seal which the foam forms on the outer case...?
I guess that the screen gap is almost inevitable due to the cut in the seal

no mate the gap in the screen is further down between the actual touch screen and the outer casing not where you have circled. The gap is to the left where the rubber seal bit is and the part of the ribbon cable you can see is where it actually connects to the touch screen.
Madness but crazy-awsome!
Hi, just got mine today Had a brief luck n there seems to be security stickers n the like all over this guy!

I'm pretty sure that IS what he circled. If you look at the screen itself, you can see the padding that would be at the top, just below the rubber seal area.

No its around the edge of the touch screen so its where the touch screen sits in the frame you can't even see any of that foam when the phone is assembled. You can see the rubber seal on the outer casing on that 3rd picture just compare it to what you can see on your phone.

If that were the case, and the area circled was not the part where the rubber seal was, then the rubber seal would be approximately 3/4" below the top of the phone, rather than 3/8" of an inch (approximation). You can see where the speaker is on the white plastic case, and by looking at the outside of the phone, the rubber seal is literally JUST below that. For the rubber seal to be where the clear screen is wouldn't work proportionately.
Similarities to Blackstone like cam etc.
But disassembling seems to be much easier than Blackstone.
Hope we'll get much more spare parts compared to Blackstone.
Oh I purposely scratch(small one) my screen with a screw driver(d*** it). Just to test how tough the glass. Left a very very small scratch(Well I did it on really small are of phone which is not so visible). A little extra force than normal is required. The screen is scratchable if you intentionally do it.
I think put the phone together with car key in your pocket might scratch your phone. Put your phone face down on table and move it gently(when you pick up your phone, there is always little slide) shouldn't be leaving any scratch.
This serve as information for those who really want to know how tough the glass is.
P/s expect the glass to be tougher!
Haha.Thanks for such info. Much appreciated.

Not unless there is a small grain of sand on your table, it will scratch the screen all right.
But....shouldn't the screen use a "gorilla glass"??? Wtf?
Samsung packed a 600€ phone with scrap materials? I feel cheated..
Just because the screen is scratch resistant doesn't mean it's scratch proof. Gorilla glass adds some extra protection but everything can be overcome given you use enough force.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
"Gorilla" glass or not, it still glass. And there are a lot of materials harder than glass. If material is harder than glass, it will scratch it, just less for Gorilla glass.
The hardest transparent material available is, well, diamond. This won't be scratchable by anything. Not aware of any phones using diamond faceplates yet though
The next hardest is synthetic sapphire. This will be scratched only by diamond, sapphire and some rare alloys. There are some watches and phones (Vertu I believe) that use sapphire faceplates. But if you look at the price tags, you'll realize the price you'll have to pay for
Diamond faceplate??!!! That might be the end of screen protector...lol

Are you guys all too cheap to buy screen protectors? They are less than ten bucks and i can't feel the difference. Not flaming, just poking fun. I treated my phone like it was, well, made of glass until my screen protector came in.

You do know there's a plastic covering ontop of your button right?
i suppose that, but i can´t remove the plastic, but is normal that scratches?
I've seen in some stores some gel or something that you can spread on scratches and they will disappear (I'm not 100% sure as I haven't never bought any)

As krazykat said, the phone ships from the factory with a thin rectangular plastic film that is stuck on top of the home button. This film is simply one of the many protective films/coverings that are on a brand new phone, to protect it during shipping and unboxing. This film is removable - it's conceivable the scratch you're seeing is on that plastic film instead of the button itself. The film is hard to see, but if you look carefully with a bright light shining on it, you will see it. You can remove it by scraping with the edge of a credit card.
Relax your phone is going to get some scratches. It's just a fact of life. I've had mine in a gel case and screen protector since day one, unfortunately that didn't protect the camera lens (only exposed area besides home button) from a small scratch .
Also if the smal piece of plastic is still on eventually it'll lift up on its own and you'll be able to take it off.
Thank you, DreadPirateDan i think you are right , so if i remove the plastic from the home button the home bottom can get some scratches? the home button is made of the same material as the screen, gorilla glass? someone has the home bottom with scratches with out the plastic?
Because my home bottom look really bad, you can feel the scratches with your nails.
I get pretty excited with all the hype of gorilla glass being scratch proof but let me tell you it certainly is not scratch proof. Slighty more resistant at best says I.
My last phone would fall face first onto pebbles and come out un scratched, yet being inside my pocket with lethal for the screen. Who would have thought soft cotton would be gorilla glass' Achillies heel? lol.
So best advice from me is to just leave the plastic there as long as it's willing to stay/as long as you can tolerate it's ugliness. Then when you've had enough you'll peel back to a crisp fresh menu button
The screen is resistant to falls but not scratches. Therefore, it is recommended to put a protective plastic on the screen ASAP! As always the enemy of all screens is the dust, keys and any sharp object.
About, the HOME button, it is normal to be scratch fast because it's plastic, what I did was cut a plastic/tranparent sticker covering inside the edges of the home button and no scratches inside of it!
That's why ya go with white versions. Surface scratches and finger prints don't show nearly as bad.

If it bugs you, just buy the button on ebay.
I bought one for like 5 bucks after shipping and have no use for it LOL
I was wondering if the button had a really dark chrome or if it was just my phone (I thought the chrome was supposed to be like a polished bright chrome like in pics) and after receiving this button and seeing my friend's S2, my phone is normal lol
My son is playing one game on my note very often. Few days ago I've spot that in the place where there is a steering in his game (so he touches only that part of the screen) my finger is not moving smooth through that area (it is like brake in the screen ) Also the smudges typical to stay on the screen when you drive the finger though it are not staying in that area. When I was cleaning the screen I've spot the dampness of the cloth I use is not covering that spot.
I always clean the screen only with a dump soft cloth and never had any problem like this before with any other device.
Did any one else had similar problem before?
Is it possible the protective layer on the screen had been removed of that area?
May it be a warranty issue or it will not cover it (the tablet is 3 months old)?
Do you have any idea how I can repair it?
Regards

Is it a break down of the screen or could it be a residue from something that was on the users hands. From what you are describing it sounds like it may be a build up of oils or maybe silicon.
It would be very difficult for a finger to damage the screen unless it had sand or soil on it.
I suggest that you try some dish soap / detergent on it to cut through any deposit and repolish.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
I've tried soap, washing-up liquid and surgical spirit with no luck.
When i was trying to clean it with surgical spirit, the cloth was driving difficult through that area and squicking.
When the screen is cleaned there is no sign of any spot or anything on it. It looks perfectly clean.
I am afraid to do any more cleaning on it not to make bigger damages
I don't think any sand or dirt was on his fingers as I ask my kids to wash their hands every time before taking the tablet.
.
If you can see the spot you are talking about could you post a photo of it.
Like I said, there are NO visible marks at all when the screen is cleaned. The only thing then stating that something is wrong is a little resist (like roughness) when driving a cloth over that area. Visually everything is 100%.

But, when you start using it, you can see there is a different mark of finger smudges in that area and when I huffed on the cleaned screen, that is what I got.

I know this does not help the issue.. But you could but a screen protector. (the cheaper plastic feel ones work best with s pen ).
Also call samsung it does sound like it would be covered by Warranty ..
Reminds me to put screen protector on my tablet today. i took it off because it was very old ..

looks like an abrasive has done damage there, you can see the marks. no warranty will cover that.

Nope. I wax my screens, even those with protectors, regularly. It makes S Pen and my fingers glide easier and helps keep abrasives from accumulating or scratching the display. Carnauba wax is natural and won't harm the display.

Still can't believe what happened to my Z5!
I accidentally dropped my phone a minute ago from the 4th floor and it felt straight to the concrete. I thought my phone would have been dead and totally destroyed due to this massive drop.
When i picked it up the screen was entirely cracked with a big impact in the bottom left corner but surprisly it just smashed my 0.3mm tampered glass screen protection!
It bend as well the phone in the middle by the power button without damaging the back and front panel!
And I only had a slim rubber case to protect it!
I guess i've been very lucky but still i can say this phone is really solid and well made. :thumbup:
I linked some photos of my tempered glass protection and case. (I can't take pics from the phone but i can see that the metal on the edge by the power button is still a little twisted so i guess my phone isn't watterproof any more..)

i want to throw mine too ! err drop, umm , err smash actually... xD
I have the same bumper and screen protector.

Can't take any because i've no other camera..
But onestly my phone was properly bent in the middle! Very scary!
I've seen a video few weeks ago from someone doing the bend test on it and it did finished exactly as mine and without any big damage. Just the metal frame which doesn't fit perfectly where the power button is.
Here is the video (it's a Z5 premium actually but it doesn't really change compare to mine^^)
https://youtu.be/gVPa8sNY1Xw
Quite impressed by the screen and the back panel strength, they bend but don't break.
But the metal frame seems very fragile don't you think?
