Anything that can remove a scratch from gorilla glass? :-\

You could maybe try Brasso (the old "good" stuff with the tiny sand) or Armor Etch. How deep is the scratch? I'm not really sure how much different Gorilla Glass is different from regular glass so those two suggestions might be void.
Might also want to look at Jewellers Rouge. That may be too much though.

It's just deep enough to feel it with my finger nail. But I can't see it when I have the screen on. It's in the bottom corner.

If it's something that small try some toothpaste. Call me crazy but it works. Put it on a soft cloth and rub the area in a circular motion for about a minute, rinse, repeat if necessary. Learned that from the Navy

Make sure you're using the paste toothpaste not the gel kind. This works great on scratched cds

Called HTC themself. They said its like gorilla glass. But its not gorilla.glass which is a trademark name by Corning. If you go to gorilla glass website they have a list of phone with GG and the inc2 isn't one of them.

Well it flew across the parking lot and I only got one scratch lol...what I'm going to do is make it a silver one and.sand off this black paint on the front. If it goes bad i have it insured.
It's only a $100 deductible on insurance right? Do I have to return the phone?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
What black paint on the front? The black is under the glass, so you can't sand it off (same with the verizon logo at the top). And to answer your last questions, yes and yes.

He isn't talking about the screen, he means the front bezel, since it went across the parking lot, I assume it screwed up the front, so that it was he means. It'll look like a thunderbolt.

If the scratch is really light, do the best you can with toothpaste and then put a screen protector on it. That'll cover up the feel of the scratch, even if it's still there.

Have read toothpaste, baking powder or baby powder mixed with water, can remove or dull them. Has anyone had any tried and true methods they use? Just worried ill try one of those and it will make new scratches!

I wouldn't try it if I were you... the screen is scrstch resistant. You coul end up having to remove the entire top-layer of the screen ...
Don't know how it is with the gorilla glass, but on my mp3player trying to remove scratches on a scratch resistant screen made it worse PLUS its very hard to get any effect at all on such a hard screen...

Thank you for an at least informative reply
Really? No one has gotten scratches that they haven't tried to remove?
I would describe what i have almost as a blemish(?) and not scratches. You can move your fingernail across it and not feel any type of cut or ravine in the glass. There more aesthetic that physical i think. A lighter drifted across it sitting in the car. No pressure or anything. So i'm sure these can be removed...but how!!
You could try a place that repairs autoglass. I know they have stuff that gets cracks out so I'm sure they could squeeze a little for ya. Dunno if it will work but who knows
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 xboarder 2.4 streamlined5
FYI- I tried both toothpaste and baking soda on my old nokia which had a plastic screen. It made no difference, didn't help or hurt. So I wouldn't think it would work on glass.
I've used jeweler's rouge and oil on glass before, it works to remove very light scratches but takes a ton of elbow grease. So I wouldn't recommend that either.
There are products that fill scratches in glasses or on cars. You might want to consider one of those.
Good Luck

Having done bar work for many years, I can confirm the Brasso does an excellent job of cleaning brass and other metals. Can't say I would want to try and polish my screen with it though, its messy and it smells.

Google search seems to say that is the #1 method for cell phone scratches though...hmmm...ty for your input
I have been hearing a lot of cases when our Galaxy SIII's screen has shattered when dropped that too not from a height. Then i heard of AMZER's shatter proof series and i pre-ordered it 3 days ago. Now my case protector has arrived and it is the toughest screen protector i have ever used. I was so lucky that i bought it on time. It was dropped by a kid with face on and nothing happened. This one is really tough guys.
Check this http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-ShatterP...-for-Samsung-GALAXY-S-III-GT-I9300-P94905.htm
It's definitely scratch proof, but shatter proof?
Yes I agree with the OP - knocked my sgs3 off and it hit the corner of the table and then floor - screen first - i have cracked by display on the sensation in a similar situation - this time not even a scratch and this thing sticks right on! Solid stuff here - will post a review later on! must order it guys only 29 bucks!

If it doesn't suck completely after 2 weeks it is better.
i have the verizon protector on mine, which doesnt go all the way to the edge, but when mine cracked, it rounded it self off when it ran under the screen protector and turned around like "ohh can't go that way" lol https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/386262_10151093476528557_832449593_n.jpg

No, it cracked from about a 6 inch slide. That's the worst part about it. There's not a single mark on my phone because it was in a case when it happened. I called Samsung and they have to evaluate whether the damage was caused by me or some sort of manufacturing defect. I'm almost positive they're gonna rule against me despite how ridiculous the circumstances were.

It was just some plastic case that Target (ironically) had on clearance. I kinda regret that decision...
It mostly depend on the point of impact. If you dropped it directly at it's corner, it'll most likely crack. And I feel the screen on this phone cracks way too easily. I've dropped it once on my bed. Luckily the screen didn't crack.
I have minor scratches on my screen from I have no clue what, I've had a case on it since day one and never lay my phone on its front only on the back and it has minor but noticeable scratches. Annoying and very weak GG

I don't how you are treating your phone, but I have had mine for almost a year and I only have one scratch. I use no protector and I'm pretty rough on mine. GG is not scratch proof, just more resistant than normal hardened glass
Yup, had mine for almost a year with no case or screen protector. I'm an auto mechanic so I'm not too delicate with my phones. This one has lasted me longer than any other phone before. No scratches and only a few corner dings.

As far a i have heard it is gorilla glass. Folks, gorilla glass will scratch if u put it in your pocket or purse with keys and other hard objects. Everybody thinks it is indestructible but it isn't. I never use screen protectors and always have my phone in my pocket by itself. Used phones that way for a years and maybe one or to very small scratches ever came of it

This will be forever debated. If you call sprint they will tell you this unit does not have gorilla glass but there are a bagillion other sources that say it does but who knows. It doesn't matter anyway. I don't use a case or screen protector and my screen is still near perfect. I like the feel of the bare phone in my hand without a big ugly case.
