Was wondering if the screen is glass or plastic and if it will scratch or do I need a screen protector?

This has been addressed elsewhere, but it's gorilla glass. I'm not buying a case or a protector, but I'm also really careful with my phones. Up to you.

There is no glass that can't be scratched. And gorilla glass will not help if phone was dropped on hard surface.
Folks we have to stop these unnecessary posts! Please search!!!

So I have some micro scratches on my screen and Idk from what. They are only in my jeans pocket can denim scratch gorilla glass?
Anyway regardless its getting scratched so I was wondering if anyone can recommend a screen protector that feels like it's not even there? I have had invisible shield and the cheap plastic ones on ebay and I didn't really like either of them. Thanks!

As mentioned in previous threads, sand can scratch the glass. Even small granules in the pockets can do it.
For a screen protector, I can definitely recommend the steinheil ultra crystal. It comes in a pack of two and is durable and doesn't affect the screen's clarity.

Well I have never put anything sandy in my pocket I don't think lol. So does dust qualify as sand? I will check out that screen protector. Thanks for your reply.

Well, it only takes one small grain of sand to make a scratch. It could end up in your pocket without you ever knowing it. You could even have a tiny grain of sand stuck to your finger and not know it. Touch the screen with it and you now have a scratch.
Some dust is made of tiny particles of sand, so yes, dust could potentially scratch your screen.

Lol. When you put it like that gorilla glass doesn't sound so tough anymore haha.

It's not really that it isn't tough. It's scratch RESISTANT glass, not scratch PROOF. It's all about the hardness of the material. You can find videos on Youtube of people trying to scratch Gorilla Glass with things like keys and razor blades. These materials won't scratch it because the glass is harder than them. Sand is harder than Gorilla Glass, so it will scratch.

caaznkid, do you wear an ear ring? Mine has micro scratches from it.
Every one says sand but I scratched mine with salt much more common
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Salt. Might have used my phone with salt on my finger that sounds more common haha. No earring though.

I thought the gorilla glass is suppose to unscratchable and unbrickable. When my phone took a dive there was a big gash on the screen, i was so pissed i almost sue Samsung and sprint for lying

Show me where Sprint or Samsung or Corning ever said Gorilla Glass was unbreakable or unscratchable?

No denim can't scratch it, but your keys can. Also the little metal rivets a lot of jeans use at the pockets will too as you're taking your phone in and out of your pocket.

BTW, Samsung nor Sprint ever said it's impossible to scratch. Also, running off with the line about how you'll sue them because YOU dropped YOUR phone shows you age and overall maturity.
Hi everyone
Does dinc2 has a gorilla glass?
I searched the web and gsm arena hasn't mentioned it.
And some other sites says no.
But then I went to corning gorilla glass official site, there under devices with gorilla inc2 and incs are listed.
And also wikipedia says so too.
So has any one been able to get a scratch on your screen?
I'm looking forward to remove screen protector but don't want to get my screen scratched.
Thanks

No scratches here in almost a year with no protector. Same with my girlfriend's dinc2. Be somewhat careful and you should be fine. Scratches are possible even with gorilla glass though.

I have a scratch on mine. It's gorilla glass, but it's not impervious to damage. Basically they add metal (aluminum, I think) to the molecular structure of the glass, but it's not unbreakable/scratch-free.

I've had mine with no case or screen protector for about a year. There is one slight nick on it that you can only see if you really try. I've found it is not worth having a screen protector.
I've had mine for well over a year with no screen protector and no scratches. I have a TPU case on it and treat it reasonably gently, like putting it in a pocket by itself or with non-scratching things like tissues, but have gone to no extraordinary lengths to protect it.

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
im with defender, big bulky phone cases suck and defeat the purpose of a thin phone
Do we still have to use screen protector for this device? The only information I got is that it's oleophobic, but is it scratch resistant as well? Bought this device 2nd hand and it has a screen protector but it's cheap and getting scratches already, I want to remove it but I'm hesitating haha

Yes you need one.
Screen is not scratch resistant

Haven't bothered with a screen protector. Just get a case with a nice lip and place the phone in a pocket that doesn't also have keys and lose change.
If you did get a screen protector, a tempered glass one would pry be the best.

I noticed that my galaxy note 2 have small scratches in the screen and I never dropped my phone. Anyone with the same problem?
So much of the Gorilla Glass 2. they are not scratch proof anyway.
I was lucky when samsung changed mine when my screen had dead pixels
sometime ago. Get a flip case & screen protector when you buy a new phone.
Please reply if anyone has the same issue.

It's not an issue. Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof, it's scratch resistant. Grains of sand in your pocket can scratch the screen if you're unlucky.

I've been using my Note 2 for nearly 2 weeks now and I am not using a case nor a screen protector.
I'm thinking of buying a flip case but not a screen protector. x_x
Same here - zero scratches without any kind of protectors

Fully agree with you. Especially if those 'grains of sand' got between your flip cover and screen.
Do not use screen protector or flip cover.
