don't ever listen to those guys who call others stupid for wanting a screen protector. GG is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
you my try buffing it out with some turtle wax. i heard it could work on some lighter scratches.

...only by something that is harder than the glass. Perhaps some grains of sand with quartz in them?

If you had read the forums you would know sand can scratch it. I love in Florida so a protector is necessary.

I used a screen protector on my Palm Pre a few years back not the Zagg I personally don't like their products. It was one of them that came with a spray bottle and squeegee card to apply and it worked phenomenal. No difference in the response on the touch screen at all, and when I sold it to a company that takes in phones it was in immaculate condition, and I got top dollar for it. Along with no clarity issues where some like the Zagg's can have either a glare, or the material that you run a finger nail or card over and makes the "zipping" sounds. The kind with the really small ridges...anyways. I didn't put one on my Evo4G and it lasted fine even though it was dropped a good 20 times literally. The outside case along the edges and corners had gouges and scratches where the red material under the white exterior was showing through. Yet the screen was still awesome no blemishes at all!
I thought about putting a screen protector on my new Gn2 but was going to wait and read some user reviews on how well or poorly they did. My main concern was the S-Pen and its touted 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity, being as I use the S-Pen on a daily basis. I do NOT want to hinder it's performance in anyway, another reason why I am looking into the available flashable ROMs on the forums right now. As of today if it x's out S-Pen functionality it is a deal breaker for me.
On a side note, and no offense to the OP not trying to take your thread off track just a simple answer will due. Does the JellyBomb ROM take away S-Pen functionality and compatibility?
I use the flip cover. Seems to do the trick. But that's not even a 100%. I personally can't do the protector. I know I will have scratches, it can come from touching anything and then your screen, but its the deep ones from sand and a like that I can't stand. The flip cover did awesome on my S3 and so far my N2.

I have used their screen protectors on every device I have owned. You forget they are on the device. Doesn't affect clarity or the s pen action.
They always have coupons on retail me not. Got 2 screen protectors for $13 shipped, but I never had to use the second screen protector.

I also am just using the OEM Samsung flip cover. I think the very fine hairline scratches are actually in the oleophobic coating on the glass and not in the glass itself. Now, deep scratches like from sand that you can catch a fingernail on are very rare. Like it has been mentioned before, the only thing that CAN scratch glass is something HARDER than glass. People saying that they have had luck buffing out scratches with Turtle Wax also reinforces my theory that these "scratches" are really only in the screen coating.

I jive with that. I have some very faint scratches and they have to be in the coating

if you live in a cleaner environment and are careful you do NOT need a screen protector. but you DO run the risk of a random scratch.
1xS2 2xS3 1xN2 no SP's and ZERO scratches.
NOW if your a mechanic work around machinery industrial (IE grease and grit) or in construction contracting carpentry (around wood dust and particles of constructions materials etc..) YOU NEED a screen protector.
ESPECIALLY if you keep in your pocket (where this material will gather always) and use a case.
otherwise the "grit" will get between the case and screen and grind away at it till you have this nice neat "scratch box" around the edge of the screen where the case touches
I am not near grease and grit so I go nakid (but always cased) and I have not had a problem yet.
now YMWV to spell that out YOUR MILEAGE WILL VARY so don't assume.
if a tiny scratch would really bother you Slather on the SP's !!
OH and scratches in the COATING of its the same as on my glasses (oleophobic??) are a PAIN.
they are not scratches and they are HARD to clean. you MUST use an absolutely "CLEAN" cloth to wipe the screen or it just "smears" instead of "cleaning"
now I have NOT noticed this on the Note II so I am guessing the coating is different than the PITA coating on my glasses.
I have also noticed scratches. I didn't use a screen protector when I first got my phone, because I wanted to order a full clear protective film (from bodyguardz.com for $25) that covers the whole phone so I can show off its beauty, so I treated my phone like it was my first born. And still, very tiny scratches developed on the glass. While this was happening, I was waiting for my screen protector to get here, and it took forever! Guess the end results scratches waiting for the delivery.
Not the end of the world, and no one else can see them, but I see it, and that's enough.
As for the back, the plastic also has small scuffs. But that's expected. The sad part is the screen protector I got also covers the back. So scratches everywhere. Meh, what can you do?

Yellowman82, yes it is. They do have different ones such as Zagg kiosks in the mall but I cant speak of the quality of Zagg cuz I've never tried them. Ghost Armour is pretty good tho, normally put it on all the phones I get. Id install the screen protectors myself but I always either get lint or fingerprints underneath it. They usually do a good job at the install.

Man, I thought I finished posting this but I guess not. Must have forgot to hit submit.
Are screen protectors really needed with Gorilla Glass? I've had them on my last four phones and never thought of not having one but my wife just got an Android and her screen glides like silk. Also, I've noticed it seems much clearer.
How do the glass screens on these phones hold up to scratching?
Some have reported issues with scratching. I use one, its cheap protection for your expensive device.
I guess my current thinking is that maybe a few light scratches might be an OK trade off to the Zag adding a little blur to the screen, having the tacky non-smooth feeling when I glide my finger across the screen and harder clean-up.
Actually the Zag gets beaten to hell pretty easy. I have marks on it that I can not remove. One could argue that the Zag took the abuse instead of the screen but my thought is that the Zag is softer then the Gorilla Glass so that is why it marks up easier.
I guess I could keep the Zag and never get a scratch on my actual screen but be staring threw more noticeable scratches on the Zag, or maybe have less noticeable scratches on the harder glass and a more clear experience.
Just can't make up my mind and this is my first experience with Gorilla Glass.
zagg isnt the only screen protector company, there are many types of protectors also, zagg is soft ive had one, ive also had other that are hard and your finger will just slide across it. Sure you will still get scratches on the protector but if its to many get a new protector and slap it on and have a nice clear screen again. A lot easier then replacing the screen imo.
Zagg sucks. Try steinheil. It's crystal clear, hard to scratch, and smooth. I've had mine on since october and it's still looking good.

Yep I tried several different brands of both wet and dry and ended up with the steinheil sgp ultra crystal or something like that. Aside from one scratch which I believe would have certainly scratched the phone its good. You cant even tell its there. When I'm done with this phone I plan to sell it and use that money towards my new one. Its easy to sell a phone in excellent condition because it lived in cases and screen protectors.
I have cheap eBay screen protector on my phone. I figure I spent $250 on this device might as well at least have a basic case and screen protector on it.

Yes this phone scratches way to easy!! Its not like the original galaxy s where you could not harm the screen no matter what. I run a zag and I love it! The easiest to install and after a few weeks its real smooth.

Take a nice hot shower then after you're done all of the dust particles in the bathroom would have settled. Now you have a dust free environment. Hasn't failed me yet.

Or do what I did and buy the phone on release day, never put on a screen cover, and still not have scratches on the screen. Phone goes in pocket, jacket (when it was cold), has been dropped (the rest of the phone has some slight scratches), and travels across the country every week. Screen still holding strong.
Could be lucky, could be gorilla glass. Not sure, don't care. Won't ever use a cover again.
Screen protector is needed even with gorilla glass...

As stated by many others before, Gorilla glass is not scratch proof. It is possible to scratch it. A friend of mine had his phone for 2 days and somehow managed to get a small scratch on the screen.
$4-15 is a small price to pay for those of us that are OCD about things like that. Not to mention high quality protectors have no affect on screen quality and feel.
I've had multiple people not even notice the SGP Ultra Nano on my S III. That's with 2 other S III's in the office without screen protectors to compare with.
If you don't feel the need to have one on your phone, there's no need to discourage other people from getting one.
I'm also guessing you're a redditor. I'd challenge you or anyone that claims screen protectors are pointless to video yourself taking a small amount of sand and rub in on your screen and see if you get scratches. Most (since I can't claim I've watched every single video) if not all the videos on youtube testing gorilla glass never use material that's harder than glass. Quartz is harder than glass and will definitely scratch the screen and is common in sand.
Sometimes people wonder about phantom scratches on their screen. It's probably because they've been near construction sites, volleyball courts, playgrounds, baseball fields, etc where you can find sand. Maybe you drive by a source with your window down and manage to get a tiny amount on your cloths and in your pocket somehow. Voila, phantom scratches.

Are these the kind of screen protectors (like zagg invisibleshield) that r super durable & u have to use water to install? I'm looking for one of those b4 I pick up my SGSIII cuz they're great. dry install screen protectors r too flimsy for my taste
UPDATE: Much appreciated to defnow for the heads up on this great deal on XtremeGuard.com. They are, in fact, the durable invisibleshield style screen protectors that you have to wet-install. I love these because they make your phone literally scratch proof. I bought 3 of them, including 1 full-body one for a grand total of $3.75. You really can't beat that price.

Wet application screen protectors give me the heebie jeebies. I'm probably going to get the SGP screen protector that covers the whole screen in this thread. I'm just a little worried about whether a tight fitting TPU case will cause lifting on the edges.

sorry to hear that.Well the price is much too cheap.
Dude, try this Steinheil Flex HD from SGP. It's quite good, indeed.
I'm using the Steinheil Ultra Nano Clear. It's one of the best screen protectors I have ever used for any phone. No oils get on the screen, and it barely smudges, so I only need to wipe my screen once every 2 days for 10 seconds in the morning, and then it is as good as new.
After you break it in with around 2-3 days of normal use or wiping it down roughly with a micro-fiber for around 10 minutes and then giving it 1-2 hours of use, it is only slightly rougher than the screen with no protector on it.
I can make a video review if you guys are interested. It was so easy to apply, I think I should have made one.
Unbelievably amazing screen protector. Light years ahead of the Spigen Glas.T and the MiMe glass screen protectors.
Best screen protector out for our phone.
Very thin, glass, feels like naked screen, but unobtrusive. Can't even tell it's there.

Seems like it isn't as good as normal glass, going by their own guide at the bottom of the page. Much more durable, but doesn't protect screen glass as well.
I went with Feather Glass, will see how it goes.
Not a bad looking screen protector, pretty cool how it's flexible but don't see how that makes it more practical than the other glass protectors available in the market. Also, there's only 0.03mm of difference between this (0.12mm thickness) and the MIME Feather Glass (0.15mm thickness). I saw the review done by Danny Winget and it looked pretty decent. I went with the MIME Feather Glass however due to it still maintaining the 9H hardness as opposed to the 8H hardness. Can barely tell it's there too, compared to other glass protectors available.
I just ordered on through amazon after seeing this review, we'll see how it is. Anything has to be better than this piece of crap mediadevil screen protector.
My ZAGG got a hair thin scratch right down the middle, so thin I couldn't tell if it was a scratch in the protector or a crack in my screen. After months of wondering I decided to just take it off and thank the FSM it wasn't a crack....
...later that day I managed to scuff the screen. FML!. So, I ordered this. good price and I've been wanting to try a glass screen protector. Thanks for the heads up and review/guide!
I just put this on two days ago. I'm with you, this thing is fantastic. Make sure to put it on in a steamy room. I just used my shower. Helps keep all the dust out when you're putting it on.

So many different glass screen protectors. Don't know which one to choose.
Just installed the iLoome flex today. I can't say enough good things about it.Installation was a breeze, super thin, extremely smooth and clear. You can't tell anything is on the screen.The thinness is amazing for a glass screen protector.I am very impressed. The also were very thoughtful with the lint removal tape and hinge for application.I can't imagine a better product design, fit, and ease of use.Thanks for the review. I know what I'll be buying in the future.
Got mine today and my impressions pretty much echo that of everyone else. The optical clarity is amazing.
Got mine today and ordered one based on this post. Size is as close to edge to edge as I've seen but the "hinge stickers" work great to line up the protector with the screen perfectly. As others have said the clarity is impressive. Not just the straight on view but the edge of the protector is very hard to see, making it look as if there isn't a protector on at all. In fact, during installation I had to triple check that when I peeled away the top protective skin from the actual iLoome that I wasn't taking the iLoome off as well. It was that hard to see.
As if right now, it's my favorite screen protector I've ever used and depending on how well it holds up will likely replace ZAGG as my go to protector.
My only issue so far is it's not "slick" and sliding your finger isn't smooth, but I'm sure that will get better over time.

Hi all, i have been using this screen protector for about a week now and love it.
Those that get the issue of the screen being too "course" or not slippery enough, what i did was i had some left over iklear or use some glasses cleaner and it should make things alot better. Mine feels just like the naked screen.
Definitely recommend
I ordered mine allot of good feed back here all positive

Well got my screen protector from empire case today and as soon as I seen how it was delivered knew it was going straight back. So waited since the sixth of this month for it so was disappointed when it come smashed. But if you look at the way it was sent you can see why I can't believe there incompetence at sending there product out like this. So I will have to pay for it to go back never mind to receive it can't explain how angry I am with them for sending it like this no fragile on packaging even so if you order one beware. Will be ordering the iloome so long as it's packaged properly so can some one tell me if it is thanks

Mine came in a padded bag with the retail package. The retail package itself seems to be pretty durable also.
While this is not a direct accessories for this phone it will work for this phone and any other . if you have light scratches or scuffs on your screen from normal use you can use the product below to fix most of them and go back to looking almost new . I figured it worker wonders on my paint I'd try it on my phone and was amazed how well it worked .

I think I'll stick to not scratching my phone.
I dont know about that... car paints is different from glass. I believe that those rubbing compound are like very fine liquid sandpaper that cut the clear coat of the car and bond it.
OP post some results please.
If you're that confident in this fix, ut a fine scratch in your screen and apply it shown in a video.
I'm sure you will get tons of thanks if this is proven to work!
In a similar vein, toothpaste is meant to work quite well for removing fine scratches (on the basis it's very gently abrasive).
I tried it on a scratched watch face once...
The watch smelt very nice afterwards
(Had precisely zero effect on the scratch though)
Thanks for the tip. Is this really works?

I have a video uploading of me applying this stuff to my screen of my HTC One, I am NOT going to purposely scratch the phone that is just stupid. This is to be used for removing small scuffs and scratches from pocket use ect, not gouges. Any scratch that a camera phone can visibly pick up is going to be way to deep.
One thing you guys fail to understand is that Gorilla Glass is FAR FAR FAR more durable than the clear coat of a car that this stuff was made for. When you make a product that fixes clear-coat it has to be some of the most soft gentle compounds that one can find used so that it does not chew or eat away at a clear coat. That is why it works just fine on glass.

OK Here is Video 1 showing the application, I am uploading a 2nd vid to show as best i can the screen after ive rubbed it into the screen and wiped it off. Mind you i had already done this process once before i made the post... thus leading me to make the post.

if i had the product, i'd test it out on my og droid. How does this stuff work on actual car scratches? I have a few light scratches i wouldnt mind getting rid of. Maybe ill pick it up for that, and just see if it works on the droid lol

it works great if you do not follow the directions. The directions want you ro rub it in, let it dry then rub it off. However from post and testing done in some of the automotive forums i am on it has been concluded that if you rub it in until there is nothing left to rub in then wipe it off it has better results. its done well on my car that had alot of scratches from previous owner. Best used with small micro fiber wax buffers that you can get 2-3 to a pack from Advance/Auto Zone. Sorry for going off the OP mods.
Seriously....Is this an ad?
P.s
If you scratched your new nexus 5 already you are the people who buy the big ugly otter mofo cases XD

This seems like a terrible solution for one main reason, it will completely ruin the oleophobic coating on the screen. I am a car guy myself and swear by Meguiars for headlight and paint restoration. However, I would NEVER use this stuff on my phone...

Im sure if we coated the screen every day it would, using it once a year once every few months in minor amounts isnt going to do anything. ive use it on alot of my phones over the last 2 years with no issues.

It's not like liquid sand paper. Not even close. It has a resin compound that FILLS IN the scratches. If it were like liquid sand paper, it'd just make more scratches witch you'd then have to buff out.

Way to bump a 2 year old post to post wrong information.
It is like liquid sand paper.
It has a higher abrasive index than some of megs' professional series polishing compounds.
It's an abrasive period. It just so happens to also have fillers in it.
Way to reply with wrong information...waaa waaa waaa

]Will it work for the scratches in the side bezels of my white glossy Nexus 5
I have had the device for about three weeks. I love it. It's by far the best most comprehensive device I have ever owned... Except that it's 'faux' metal frame is far too easy to scratch. i amn already on my second device. The first one I had I returned to att because the "metal' got so scratched... in a spigen capsule case!
So I searched for a case that wouldn't mark the metal and bought the Samsung S view case, which is a really nice case. Low and behold, even though I have been incredibly careful, the metal is scratched again.
Is it just me?

Faux metal? You realize that is aluminum which with daily use of the phone is going to scratch regardless of what you do. You are just going to have to get over it .
Yeah I can only speak out of my personal preference but I expect my device to get scratched. The only portion I'll get upset over will be the camera lens and the screen itself. With "normal use" of tossing it in and out of your pockets and on to whatever surface you make rest it in will cause some sort or scratches unless everything you wear is very soft material.
I have a pelican voyager case that I use when I'm doing something where I feel it may need more protection. Again this is only my view though.
I've heard via these forums of people complaining about many cases scratching the metal around the sides though so I'm sure if you find a nice case that doesn't a lot of people on here would love the info.

I'm using Samsung case for over a month no scratches what so ever click on my name search for that case it's worth it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A
I really don't know what you guys are talking about. I have had the device for over a month without a case or screen shield. I don't have any scratches anywhere.
I've had mine since launch day with a soft case (one of those clear plastic ones that bend very easily) and the metal frame is full of scratches too!
So seeing how other people mention that they have no scratches at all, is it possible that some of us got "defective" phones? Is it possible that the aluminum of certain batches was of lower quality?
I thought this was "normal", I assumed that it happened to everyone, but now seeing that it's not I might consider getting a replacement. The reason I use cases, a part from protecting it if it falls, is to prevent scraches, since I plan on selling the phone at some point. So having all these scratches of course lowers its value.

This is interesting. In talking specifically about the shiny metal band getting scratched and you have no scratches at all? Even under a light?

No scratches and I've had mine for over a month. I've found that most hard plastic cases do this to phones if you're taking them on and off a lot which is why I prefer a pouch style case or just a cloth case like for sunglasses. I really like the snugg wallet style cases, although there is not one for the note 4 yet, but there are ones like it. I also hate using a hard case because they are so bulky, I bought a thin phone for a reason! Also I try to treat my phone like a really expensive computer, which is what it is after all.
I've been using this case since I got the phone and well there's pretty much no way for it to get scratched...

I'm going to be honest I don't know because I've only taken it off once and didn't bother to examine the phone close enough to see micro scratches.
No scratches with Otterbox Commuter.

I have a nice case. I was just stating that people are lookin for a case. I don't use a case for my "daily driver" but if I did then I'd peek around but the Voyager is the beast I need when things are gonna get rough in my day.
This is actually pretty funny, I think it's the case itself causing your scratches!
I've put a tempered screen protector on front, and I cut out a square of film screen protector and put it on the camera lens. And then I just carry my phone (by itself) in my left pocket, it looks as new and shiny as ever, even the aluminum band!
I hope they charged you a restocking fee for taking back the phone because it was scratched. That's idiotic considering there are many factors as to why it could have happened. Get over it.

Actually no they did not. I guess they value customer satisfaction.

I think it's more idiotic to hope for someone else's misfortune, specially when they have a point (even if you don't see it) and it's not affecting you in any way
I sell these all day and am a brand advocate for Samsung & there is definitely an issue with the finish. Not sure if it has to do with the batches but the trend seems to be that cases trap small pieces of dirt/lint/whatever and grind it in over time. If you don't use a case and you're gentle with it you'll be fine, but otherwise it's bound to show over time. IPhones do the same thing though, so it's sort of the price of finally having a metal housing
I am really rough on everything, and I haven't had any problems with scratches. No case or screen protector, and not a single scratch on a two month old phone (knock on wood). I keep my phone in a leather pouch when I'm out and about.
