Hello folks,
as title, i have two little scratches on my desire's glass.. damned sand!!! ok, i want to remove them, in some forums i have read about displex, a paste that can make scratches magically vanish.. But in their site, they recomends to NOT use on touch-screen displays... How can I remove this fuxxing scratches???? Thx
displex is really bad for our screens , I tried on a HTC HD .. was a total failure . I d say to avoid it .
No ideea how to remove the scratches tho ..
well, i think i'll write to htc..
Would the toothpaste work? I use it for old CDs and clear model parts, it's basically very fine polishing compound. But then again, that was plastic, and this is glass.
Don't think you're going to get the scratches out - since t is glass.
stick a screen protector ontop. it minimised the visibility of existing scratches. I had a few scuffs... can't see them anymore with the screen protector

or just wear one from the first day? I learnt from a cigarette burn! Nokia, had to change the digitalizer to get a good price for it!

Is it better to use Ultra Clear or antiglare screen protector?
Which is better to make scratches "disappear"?
Thx.

I'm using Martin shields. I've read a lot of reviews if different screen protectors and that consistanly got good reviews. After using it for a few weeks, I can see why.

Hi,
I finally got SGP Ultraclear screen protector and installed it successfully last night. It is very clear and screen looks same as before. But I found a few issuea which I didn't expect.
First, I can easily see a lot of finger prints. It was not noticeable when there was no protector but now I can clearly see it.
Second I also can see rainbow effect from side view. It is hard to see from normal angle though.
I may take off this protector later. I am wondering if this is normal.

That is the biggest downside to the Ultra Clear. That's why I get the Ultra Fine nowadays but to each their own.

gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
and the galaxy note doesnt have gorilla glass. it has a form of hardened glass, but its not gorilla glass. or so ive read in one of the threads here.
personally, i prefer to have a screen protector for those times you accidentally drop your phone on something or you drop something on your phone. i cant stand scratches on displays since they tend to refract light and annoy the hell out of me.
i think u should go with SGP ultra optics screen protector , i havent tried it personally but people been saying good things about it.
what concerns me about it is that does it affect the display an way or another ? grainy effects ?
for the moment i have a Brando ultra clear screen protector , its very good and clear but its a fingerprint magnet , supposedly with SGP ulta optics u should get ultra clariness and no fingerprints.
would love some feedback from someone who already tested it
cheers

I recommend it! I don't think the term 'blur' applies, clarity is still there and no finger prints. Best of both worlds!

highly recommend! It may be the best anti fingerprint protector, tried the anti fingerprint from SGP on SG2, many "color spots", ultra optics has NO "color spots" produce, of coz it not as clear as the ultra crystal, but really worth it.

http://www.slashgear.com/galaxy-nexus-uses-fortified-glass-not-corning-gorilla-glass-09194297/
it mentions that it does not have gorilla glass.
some places mention it has gorilla glass, some doesnt.
its not listed on the samsung website and its not listed on the corning website so i'd say we cant confirm or deny it. all we do know is that the galaxy nexus isnt using gorilla glass either, its using hardened glass. so the best we can hope for is that the galaxy note is also using hardened glass.

Where did you get this from? How's the fit? Does the screen protector fully cover the screen?

I purchased the same product from Amazon. It is really clear and does fit the whole screen, even has a cut out for the home button. Went on relatively easily without the need for a solution. Cant even tell it on there.
It's not a solution aided style protector, if you add solution you will ruin it.
The trick is being in a clean room with no air flow, then you can have as many goes as you want without getting too much dust, and what you do get you can remove with the dust removing sticker.
I got 3 Screen Guard protectors with a TPU S-Case from eBay. I really had no interest in the protectors, but I like it a lot better than I thought I would. Fingerprints don't wipe off completely but they seem to blend in with the plastic. You almost can't see them anyway when the screen is on. I see no rainbow effect and there is no image distortion unless the screen gets too oily.

Cracks me up every time I read something like this
I used to be very careful up til the day my wife got a screen protector installed by a guy in the Beijing subway (yeah, anything can be done at those subway exits). And believe me, it is windy, and dusty! Those who may know Beijing know how true that is
Result really is perfect....
Sorry don t mean to offend, just funny to see how good care we put into it and seeing how one guy sitting in a dusty, windy area can pull it off just as well
Cheers
No offense taken
But, keep in mind that the dude in the subway is experienced, it takes him 15 seconds prob to clean + fit + charge you.
Where as normal user who have done it maybe 3 - 5 times, will need more time!

Its a great screen protector, plus they give you two. Its thick, clear and so far doesn't seem to cause any display issues. The fingerprints wipe off easy enough.
any chance you can show us the cut out? is it a 4 edge hole at the bottom instead a U shape?
whats the best screen protector? I already bought a cheap case swisstech and now im looking for a screen protector. been using the one that came with the s3(the one with the stickers attached lol) as im really afarid of smudges and scratches lol

The front is gorilla glass. It's virtually impossible to scratch under normal every day usage. Even running keys along it won't leave a mark. Smudges can always be wiped off. Naked screen is the best way to go in my books.
But if you really do want a screen protector, I think Dataflex and Steinheil make some good ones. Cheers.

It's been said 100 times already that Gorilla Glass is hard to scratch but the thin Oleophobic coating can easily get micro scratches.

In the real world micro scratches make it harder to see in strong light but when your screen protector gets scratched you just stick a new one on, but scratching your screen means either grinding the scratches out or paying $260 for a new one.
$5 for a screen protector seems like good insurance to me.
I use barely there anti glare screen protector. Actually helps with the visibility of the display in bright conditions too.

how is zagg's screen protector?
I've used zagg for my S2 and I was really satisfied. Only downside is that the screen get a bit less responsive and it would t look so clear.

My friend kept his SGS3 in his gf's handbag the other day - which would be considered normal everyday usage. When he retrieved it, there were three bad scratches on it:
http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/6259/20120715131719edit.jpg
The scratches are more difficult to see in real life as you'd be looking directly at it (as opposed to this light-catching angle), but they're definitely there. My fingernail gets caught in it.
If he had a screen protector on, it would be a simple $10 replacement. But since he didn't, his resale value has now gone down the drain. It'll cost $230-300 to replace the screen.
His gf says she has never had that happen to her screen, and she keeps it in the same handbag. She does have a screen protector though.
Gorilla glass is scratch *resistant*, not scratch-*proof*. Metal might not scratch it easily, but simple things like sand can.
Hows cygnett? I heard it comes with a case and a screen protector.
I have a 1.5 cm scratch in my screen, its not that deep, but it visible. Anyone already fix this, or the only solution is replace the glass?
I found some screen adhesive on Ebay, it says that "repair" but never used before. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...w=screen+repair+htc+one+x&_osacat=0&_from=R40
Thanks
The only option is to replace the screen. You could try polishing or smth but it isn't guaranteed to work.
Sent from my HTC One X
Yeah, polishing it out will remove the oloephobic coating.
You might be able to find a resin fir repairing glass, but you might also end up making it worse.
A good screen protector should prevent you from seeing the scratches, but IMO they're horrible.
A screen protector could hide the scratch? Because it`s kind of superficial
Any good screen protector?

Once you have a flat reflective surface, you won't notice it. You probably will notice the crappy screen protector more

Hey guys,
has anyone experienced an "oily" Effect on his display with the original film from oneplus on it. I don't mean fingerprints, my phone is completely clean but some area's just don't look like they are. Is this effect from the film or is my display broken?
I could rip the film off but then I have to get an new one :/
Thank you in advance

Just pull the film off and run your screen naked. It feels great.

I had a HTC One m7 before and after using it 3 years it had so many tiny scratches.
I don't want this to happen with my op3, too.. I always wear them in my pocket, never with a key or anything in it, but the film already has some of those tiny scratches.

Hey dude, IV tried 5 different tempered glass protectors and found the nilkin + to be the best. It doesn't cover full screen and the sides don't stick entirely but it's not even a big deal and it's the best you'll get for this phone at the moment

Currently have it naked, keys and knives don't scratch the screen, be careful when you clean it tho, don't use any spray just a micro fiber should be enough. Plastic screen protectors catch a lot of smudges and scratches really easily. Naked or Tempered glass is currently the only option.
Hi guys so the screen protector hunt starts again ive been looking on amazon uk and some of them seem to be a full adhesive fit does anyone know if the xz2 has flat glass near the main display or is it 2.5D like most models
hear is one ive been looking at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Protector-...6&sr=8-7&keywords=xperia+xz2+screen+protector
On the same hunt, the glass is definitely 2.5D. I wouldn't expect any full adhesive glass protectors to work without massive halo's.

1 hour ago i've seen the brotect airglass, how are this screen protector?
Edit: finally today it's arrived brotect airglass, first time i've buyed and it's arrived a back screen protector for s9+ in xz2 package (???), contact the support and they send me a new for free and it's arrived today...no halo, great brightness and very good oleophobic treatment
i think they all seems to be lying on us... they advertise it as a 3D or full cover edge to edge but when you get your hands on it you realize it only protects the LCD, like flat protector...
well, i like this by IMAK... it's a 3D and full edge to edge film rather than tempered glass... what i don't like about it is not glossy, but rather anti-glare which i hate.
check the link below if anyone is interested in buying it

It prevents glass breaking by 30%.
Or was it 70%?
But it definitely strengths the glass structure.
