Zagg is good also for filling in scratches. Most liquid/solution based screen protectors are your best bet.

Yeah all wet apply will fill in the scratches but all wet ones have to orange peel to a certain extent

I recently replaced my (no-name) matte screen protector with a ghost armor skin on the display. There was a scratch there from my first weekend with the phone that's completely invisible now. There's no orange peel effect with the ghost armor either.
xoskin and sgp flex you should try out. xoskin is almost without orange peel. sgp flex has slight orange peel but it is slightly smoother and less rubbery than the xoskin
I've never tried the solution-based protectors. Are they difficult to apply?
No just follow the included instructions.

Dinc2 screen

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.

Whos using with no screen protector

So I was wondering if Amy of you use this phone with no screen protector and how the screen looks after x amount of time with normal use?

I have had my phone for about 8 months and never had a screen protector on it.. I can't detect one single scratch..
Same here. I don't like screen protectors. I've had this phone 7-12 months now and while my silver rim has scuffs on it, my screen is immaculate. No hairline scratches. It's absolutely mint. I have an OCD with my device screens though. There's always an LCD screen cleaner and microfiber cloth within arms reach of me. I really, really hate dirty mucked up screens lol

Everyone enjoys not having a screen protector..

No screen scratches, bezel is all torn up though.

same here, ive had mine just about a year now. the bezel has some nicks in it.. but even a screen protector wont prevent that. I even ditched my case after about a week or so.. its much less bulky then
Yea my silver part is wearing down a little from the case I'm using. I've been debating not using a screen protector. I have one left, i just get tired of them scratching up and dulling the screen. Then on look at my kindle (I know it has gorrila glass) with no case or screen protection and its amazingly clean. And clear. I'm always on the fence about it

I have used screen protectors before for this phone and been without for a while too. And to tell you the truth only when I have a screen protector you can see scratches from everyday use and from my jeans pockets. And when its without I dont see one single scratch
Not bad
I used mine for about a month without a screen protector. I just got Zagg, and I like the feel a lot better.

I've had my Hercules without a protector for near a year. The screen is pristine, no scratches! I love the glass used on this phone. It can get oily but nothing a microfiber cloth can't wipe clean.
I've had the phone since February with no screen protector. Finally dropped it 2 weeks ago, went skidding face down about 3 feet across an asphalt lot. The bezel is scratched up pretty good, but the glass has no scratches at all.
I generally don't use a screen protector but with this phone I decided to. My HTC Glacier I didn't use one and after a year it had no scratches. The reason I did use one with this phone is to retain its value so I can resell and get a better phone when I get sick of it.
Sand scratches the glass so don't think its 100% safe to go without one.
I just put my last screen protector on here. I got a hair scratch down where the hardware keys are. I used to use those cut to fit ones and they would never cover those buttons. Now the one I have is fitted. I probably won't buy any more

I have had mine for 9 or 10 months and the screen looks great, my bezel was dented and such so I tapped of my screen, took a dremel to it and took off the outer coating, now I have an all white s2 with a matte black bezel, with an awesome screen... Pretty bad ass

No screen protector since February. I take excellent care of my phones but just discovered a few horizontal scratches on it that's barely noticeable but still surprised me. Kept in a tpu case

I just got this phone for 2 months, and i dont want to use screen protector, which will ruin the touch experience.

I don't think this flavor of the s2 his the gorilla glass. I believe I read it was some kind of fortifies glass. Could be wrong

[Q] screen protector

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
Stock ROM, custom user.

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.
