Gorilla glass is not unbreakable. Its harder to break then normal glass. Defy is shock proof up to a limit. If your phone falls exactly on the glass there is a big possibility that it will break.
...not broken, but I managed to scratch it.
Bought and few days later, i've noticed very few little tinyhair scratches and 1 deep (a fingernail feel it) 2mm long. just in the middle.
I run with my phone in my pockets but i really take care of it (it was in a sock). I don't know how and what managed to scratch it, but now i have a Brando Screen Protector on it.
When i'll remove it, i'll try fix the scratches with the cerium-oxide polish-method.

that's happened to me too, just some little scratches by the way. However, is it safe to use a polish method?
I kept mine scratch free for a year until my girlfriend started playing with it.
Now I can't count how often it has fallen to the ground.

Mine also broken exactly on the opposite direction, like this '\'.
Okay.....so you broke the glass . What else ?
Herpderp iPad2.
No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
Glass is hard but nobody told it's not fragile. Do not confuse the two concepts.
isn't it advertised as scratch proof??
I'm very careful with my mobiles ^^
& I was quite peeved after having owned my Defy for 6 weeks to find a scratch on the screen!?
I'm guessing it's happened when ph slipped out of pocket while driving car & slid down side of seat
life proof my r-iss

Some are, some aren't, it's a strange thing :/
My defy+ has 2 scratches, very very small ones, while my brother's one has none, even though I take better care of mine. Both bought at the same time, 2 months ago. Strange thing
I'll say just this - SCREEN PROTECTOR ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_protector
Screen protector all the way
I used my Defy for 2-3 weeks without screen protectors and i got no scratches. I know i am heavy user i put a screen 3M Screen protector. My old HTC Diamond got so many scratches it was a pain to watch it and i really looked after it.
I knew as it had no resistant glass it will become like this. In the Defy i saw a major improvement.
But I can say money well spent with the screen protector. I ripped it off and scratched it badly. As it has a year and a month now i will change it. It lasts 1 year and for 10-15$ i can say it's money well spent.
So my advice: install a 3M, Invisible Shield etc. screen protector. The branded ones have a perfect fit and some technology invested in them. Also scratch resistant certification.
how exactly u broke it?
just to make sure i don't do it
price?
How much costs to u to replace the broken Gorilla glass with a new one?
Did u bought the glass from ebay?
Hey everyone, I couldn't figure out whether this should be in QnA or Accessories, but I figured it should be here.
Anyway, is there any known brands that do screen protectors, but at a reasonable price.
I know about ZiggZagg etc, but spending £15 on a screen protector to me is ludacrus, they come off/start peeling after not so long, so I couldn't imagine paying that for 1!.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated !!!
Umm... the One X has gorilla glass? You don't need a screen cover. That's like trying to wear a sock over your shoe to protect it from the ground....

1 - Its nothing like trying to wear a sock over a shoe thats a stupid analogy
2 - I would of liked a suggestion thanks.
Actually i just ordered the dynaflo hard shield, but i've search for other screen protectors in case it won't be as good as i thought.
I came across skinomi screen protector wich look pretty great and covers almost the entire screen...it cost around 12$ (i dunno what's your budget but i think its pretty cheap..) here's a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otwcex1_uJg
hope it helps...

I have learnt the hard way that gorilla glass can not be trusted any more...
That's a shame as it was perfect on my Desire Z...
Hox screen is filled with micro starches out of nowhere....

Hense I want a screen protector.
CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND ONE ?!?!?!
I would stay clear of SGP ultra oleophobic...
Its nearly impossible to install correctly, picks up dirt quite easily and the rainbow effect is all over the place...
The only things i like it that it doesn't go round the edges so it wont peel off and the feel of the protector is almost identical to the HOX glass...
For the price i paid not very satisfied since i ruined the 1st one upon installation!
Best Skins Ever .
www.bestskinsever.com
You can either get full body or screen only protection.
Cheapest price, BEST quality, the touch and feel is amazing.
I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6x-Clear-LC...901133?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4abb2d7fcd
unless u spend good money i find that most screen protectors are about the same. when i get them ill see how they stand up
I feel exactly the same as you. I've been looking for a decent screen protector since I got my One X. Unfortunately I can't advise you on any good ones as I haven't found one yet, but I can tell you don't bother with the official HTC one. I paid something like £8 (if I remember rightly) thinking it's the official one so it should be good but it didn't even fit the phone due to the curved edges. The edges were raise all around it which looked awful.
I'd be interested if anyone does recommend a decent one for a reasonable price.
And for the record, gorilla glass does scratch. It's not things like sharp objects that are the problem but minute grains of dust and sand rubbing against it. It scratches very easily under certain circumstances, such as in a gritty pocket or a pocket with sand in it.
well ijust recieved the ones from ebay... its clear but the protector doesnt cover the edges and ends like .2 in from the bottom
Well, the best that I have use so far is Skinomi. Have gone through all others and end up going back to Skinomi as it is the only which cover from edge to edge. The one who don't tend to collect dust on the side and it just annoying

Capdase makes pretty good screen protectors. Only thing you should be protecting your phone against is sand.
Thanks for all suggestions !
By the looks of it Skinomi looks best for me.
How is the install process, easy?
Does it catch dust or is it a clean install if that makes sense?
Thanks !!
Install process is not as difficult as dsbg, just make sure that your hand is wet

let me know what you think about it, i was thinking about buying this myself.
for me, sometimes my screen isn't slick enough when my thumb drags across it and im hoping a screen protector will help

Bestskinsever are the best skins ever, super cheap, great support, i can recomend them enough
Hi,
i use bestskinever and i am very happy with it. The skin goes frome edge to edge and is very easy to install. I also compared it with de XO Skin which is much more expensive and coud not see andy diference.
Decided to stick with my 6 for £2 protectors
I Bought Gorillagard from Amazon for £5.99. It does not cover the whole screen but slightly wider than the ones just cover the center off the screen. The good thing about this screen protector is that if it gets dirty all you have to do is peel it off, wash it with water and stick it back on. It uses static to stick to the screen. The edges are a problem though but i ain't too fussed about it.
Hi Everybody, I got to scratch my Galaxy Note 2, and that's bad and quite deep scratches, you can make sounds while passing my fingernails across it, and also the deep ones can serves as rail/ruler if i put my fingernails point on it... while it's turned on i can't really see scratches, just if i look and search for them, but it's there and it's annoying me so much, just so ugly and I gonna tell you how it happened...
I live in China and bought it here, my old phone is a GSII and it broked, i was quite careless about that phone and it dropped down the floor too many times, really, finally last month it stops work caz it brakes the mainboard, after 1 year and 3 months suffering, i never used screen protector and really, SGII screen does not have any scratches that you can see, just if you point it into direct sunlight, but none of them you can feel with your fingers or nails, none of them are deep, if you clean it up it's almost new, so when i got the note 2 the guy was putting on the screen protector and I said, hey, don't do it, this phones doesn't need it... anyways, after almost a month, my friend was asking me if the screen is really strong, i said yes, you can't really scratch it, i put knives, keys and so and it doesn't do anything, so there was a mug in front of me, that i thought it was plastic, and i scratch over the screen and you know what? fuc**ing ceramic/porcelain, I just forgot how strong porcelain can be, my friend said, well done, you got it... well, i fuc**d up my phone and i feel stupid, and just to let you guys know, let your phones far away from ceramic/porcelain, it's really strong against glass. I wanna do something, my options are...
Replace the whole thing, buy a new display module... (too expensive)
Replace just the gray front panel and the glass.. (Replacement touch screen mirror << i found this in a website dnt knw if its the front glass)
buy some screen protector that can fill the scratches (if I replace the glass I will buy one anyways
take it to a glass store and ask them to resurface (dnt knw if they will do it and also seems that before the glass, the surface is not really glass, there is some cover on it)
Well i need suggestions and perhaps answer my doubts above if possible. Appreciate this forum.
Thank you,
Junior
I suggest you start using a screen protector. I got one free one with every case I purchased on Taobao, otherwise they're about 15rmb applied down at any phone store.
Gorilla Glass scratches just like any other type of glass.

Yeah, I will buy a nice protector, but i feel that i should do something before it, i think even good protectors will not fill the scratches, so I am thinking about replace the front glass, if I find it, or resurface if its possible, still don't know what are the possibilities on fixing it.
I had good experience with gorilla glass before, it didn't scratch like other type of glass on old phones, but ceramic/porcelain/sand is indeed strong.

Dude - first thing is that you are abusing your phone device, Second I don't think anyone of us on this forum will ever try running knifes or blades or porcelain mugs on our phone screens..!! If you have heard of bullet-proof glass, they resist bullets up to some extent but then it breaks, it doesn't mean that I'll fire bullets at my car's windshield - so my friend get it repaired - changed whatever but don't abuse your phone display on purpose, they have a Gorilla Glass to save your device from scratches on that one odd day when your phone may suffer an accident... :angel:
I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know
Clear protector: link
Antireflex protector: link
It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.
My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection
Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet
I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

I guess I didn't put it clear. I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK, haven't received yet.
If anyone can find a glass screen protector for the Moto G please let us know. So far I haven't found a glass one anywhere. I can't stand the plastic ones, but the glass ones (like the ones made by SPIGEN) fell just like the original screen.
didn't find one glass screen protector for MOTO G...if someone has found it then do share the link...desperately want one to gift to my friend on Christmas......
Thanks in advance.....
Did anyone find one in Mexico City?

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.
Try xtremeguard website use coupon code cyber85 and mystery for 90% off paid $2.79 for 3 screen protectors xD

I'm one of those people who can't bear to leave the house without a screen protector. I've made my own by cutting an iPad screen protector to size. Looks ok to my eyes, though I'll treat myself to a decent one when they become available.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.
I brought a case which is actually quite decent and it came with an OK screen protector. I applied it like a 2 year old so ended up taking it off and throwing it. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161166397679
I saw a Samsung reps galaxy note 3 the other day that he had in his pocket with keys and everything and the screen was scratched really badly, not just a little and that apparently has gorilla glass 3

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.
BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.
screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
Hi
While I was waiting for my tempered glass to come, I ended up with a scratched phone. The weird thing is that I was very protective with it, but who knows what went wrong. Anyhow, the scratch is pretty small and on the top left but it is deep enough in order to be seen from a bright wallpaper. Do you have any idea how to hide it as much as possible or any anything else? (Google is a mixed bag of opinions)
Thanks
PS. The tempered glass has yet to arrive. :crying:
PS2. It is pretty damn expensive to change the screen
I ordered a origibnal OP tempered glass protector with my OP3. The quality was pretty crappy as it splitted at the side after 3(!) weeeks. I googled a lot and it seeemed that nillkin.org sells the best screen protectors. I ordered 2 and after a month they arrived from the other end of the world. DON'T BUY that crappy protectors from nillkin.org as they don't fit the screen at all! I'm very upset and they regeret to give me my money back. Nillkin.org betrayed me for nearly 30 bucks!!!
I'm using the phone without screen protector for about a week now and the feeling is just awesome. I don't care about some scratches as for the first time I can see and use the full display size.
I used my HTC One S without protection for about 3 years and it only got 1 noticeable scratch. OP3 got a 2,5D display and infact all screen protectots will be crap. Its sad but its true.
Sand I find is the most common pocket content that's hard enough to scratch gorilla glass things. (most keys and coins won't)
