Anything that can remove a scratch from gorilla glass? :-\
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
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.
last week my mobiles touch glass was broke its call gorilla glass(in samsung gtt i5801).its not available in local market but i m not going in service center bccoz time problem.
so any one tell me the price.
I think you better go to a proper samsung service center.
Edit: I don't think our fone has gorilla glass.
You don't even know anything about your phone and you think you can fix it on your own?

I think it would be possible.but you would need to remove digitizer without damaging it,then remove upper glass,fit the gorilla glass then put the digitizer back.the upper glass has nothing to do with the digitizer unless they are completely glued together.and it would be really hard,or maybie impossible if you have a gt-i5801,because there are no hard buttons,and touch buttons are in one piece with the glass.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
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.

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.

Every one says sand but I scratched mine with salt much more common

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.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=does+gorilla+glass+scratch
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 guys,
As the topic states, I noticed last week while cleaning my screen I have a scratch around 1 inch on the top left... No idea how it happened. With my S2 I dropped it several times on the floor and it's still clean as new. Any tip to the scratch?
Thanks
You can buy a screen protector which usually fills in the scratch so it's not noticeable and protects against future scratches!

im with you, ever since the first galaxy ive never experienced a scratch.. till now, its sad, i have like 2 tiny scratches.. ive just been real careless with my phone lately =/
Armor Suit has worked really well for me. If you give it a 5 start rating after purchasing it on Amazon, they usually ship you a free extra protector.
anyone have any experience with vaseline to fill in scratches?

How does the armorSuit shield feel when you touch it? is it like the invisible shield or an ebay protector? I never thought I would have to use a protector again
most of the scratches are on the oleophobic coating. You can try this to see if it gets restored.

I say just live with it. In one year will you care? You will get the galaxy s4. Its just a phone. The android OS will outgrow it and when it becomes slow you. I just saw a scratch on my s3 today. I'm not crying about it. My s2 had a scratch too. These screens do scratch I dont care how careful you are. :good:
