Scratch remover?

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.

Amzer shatterproof screen protector

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

hmmm this looks interesting. is this screen protector curved to match the glass? thanks.

Mine has indentions that are inexcusable. It is ridiculous. I have seen it before, but this is really bad.

How does this screen protector feel? Is it pretty smooth and does it have that orange peel effect?

Use that lifetime warranty to get a new one, mine has been amazing

The coverage for my S3 is perfect to the millimeter the front sensors and camera also unhindered!
I just noticed on amzer's site they posted a few videos - you got to see them to believe them - i will ask you guys to dump zagg hd - i have used it and it feels super uneven, can't play temple run with it on - this is as smooth as the glass itself!

Know of a way to warranty without paying 3.99?

Looks awesome, but for $29.99? I rather get the Spectre Glass screen protector for the same price.

The hammer test link didn't work. I found a brick test. That's crazy. I don't understand how it is possible.

Drill is running in reverse. No wonder why it didn't hurt the phone.

Wasn't so impressed with the hammer or drill test BUT the brick test just baffles my mind. Hell, the corner of the brick even embedded itself into the damn thing and even tore n stayed stuck after peeling off the protector ? !

I have bad luck with dry installation lol.. Wonder if it will ever have a wet version

Dropped mine right when I got it, I was trying to put a case on it, and on the way down I some how kicked it in an attempt to catch it, landed face down on the concrete....not a scratch. Guerrilla glass for the win.

pretty frign good.
Case or not the phone has to be tough because the case couldn't protect it completely from a fall like that.

watch the drop tests on YouTube. Dude drops it from pretty high, without cases on all sorts of surfaces with no significant damage to the phone whatsoever.
The problem is that some people rave, while others revile. My wife dropped hers and it shattered.

I've been highly impressed with the build quality of this phone. I used to have an Otterbox on it but it made it too bulky and honestly the phone looks so good I want to show it off haha. I've dropped it onto my concrete shop floor multiple times and not a scratch or anything. There is a few places where the chrome paint on the trim has chipped off but very minor. Both my Evo 3D and this phone have held up extremely well.

He did have it in a case but still that is pretty frign good.
But what I read here goes with my discussion on another site that you can drop 5+ of the same phone and get different results each time.

I just had my friend drop theirs while sitting on the toilet. No higher than 3 feet and the screen cracked across the top. Nothing below the crack responded. Crazy how physics works. They did not have a case on theirs though.
edit: they do have the at&t version though, clearly inferior.

God bless polycarb - removing dents

Hi all,
Not sure if anyone has already posted this but one really great thing about the HOX is its trivial to remove even really chunky dents and scratches from the case. I had a few caused by dropping on tarmac ta at looked really nasty.
Some 400 grade wet and dry, job done. Wrap the paper round a cloth to make it nice and squishy, rub away. 30 seconds later - good as new...

the only thing i hated about the design is the extruding back camera, that got alot of scratches.

Optimus G Pro is drop proof

Someone asked about fragility of G Pro

Im also a bit more concerened about phone durability. I take care of my things but I want a little more cushion for when accidents happen. Is the OG Pro just as fragile as the s4? Has anyone managed to accidentally crack theirs?

Looking on it in near sight I've already noticed one thing. The glass doesn't cover full size of the phone but instead has .2mm spare space to the edges of phone. Also the glass in not surrounded by banking board. Also the glass has beveled edge, about 70° sharp.
So I presume that the glass would not crack even if the phone would be dropped from 6 feet height. Unless of course it would be dropped flat fall on screen
Another indirect proof of that is here. Watch Note 2 has cracked glass when G Pro doesn't have severe damages

If you think this device is drop proof you are delusional. I haven't watched the linked video nor do I need to. The front is glass and could crack from a 6" fall. Many things factor in here including luck.

Well, someone eventually will test it, people drop their phones here and there.
And also I'll attach here link to this topic Optimus G = UNBREAKABLE

Well no phones drop proof obviously but ive had 2 friends that had lg phones and ive had one myself and I can tell u theyre probably the some of the best built on the market. My connect was dropped, thrown, stepped on, kicked and all manner of torment and worked like the day I bought it till the day I traded it in on this. Ive seen lg phones survive multiple (so many I lost count) drops that would have sent a samsung or htc device to the scrap heap...

Exactly. My wife has a One X. She has dropped, thrown it onto a hard floor with force, and let's our 3 old play with it like it's his. It has a ton of scratches, but hasn't broken. Some were saying when it released that it was super fragile. I guess since hers has been abused it must be the toughest phone ever made. Right? No, she's been extremely lucky.

I'm assuming by patio you mean stone/brick/concrete/pavers, right? If that's the case, most phones wouldn't be too fond of an 18" drop.

Yeah, but I've had other phones hit asphalt from 4-5 feet high on the corner and survive with only nick in the bezel. My post is just a warning that this phone is definitely not "drop proof". I've only had the OGP for four days and already have to shell out $ for an insurance claim. Sad thin is my case I ordered is supposed to show up today.
