Firstly please check the link..
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire-3077.php
so..as u can see our Desire's screen glass is Gorilla glass confirmed only by gsmarena and i also checked other sites but none of them contain this spec.
so i'm kinda confused regarding this, coz i dont want to use my phone with plastic screen which protector worn out within few days and have to change over and over again..
so what is ur xperience using Desire without any screen protector?
Just NO. Yep, sure it doesn't get scratched by keys and knives, but if you keep it in your pocket thin and sharp dust particles can be deadly. A friend of mine tried to go without a screen protector, and after a month or so there were a few light scratches...guess what happens if you go on like that for a year or so. Also, the first time you go to the seaside you're screwed: so happened to my gf with her brand new ipod touch, which now has a big nice smile in the middle of the screen...dust/sand particles are really dangerous, even for gorilla glass, believe me.
Firstly a screen protector wont 'wear out' within a few days, unless you have finger nails like edward scissorhands then itll last for months before needing to be changed.. ive had my cheap protector on for 3 months already and its still as good as new.. not bad whan it was something like a quid for 6.. and when i do come to change it I know theres still a pristine screen underneath.
Secondly even if it is so called gorilla glass its not immune to getting scratched, isnt it best to have an extra layer that can get scratched before the glass below it does?
You just have to look at the state of some iphones to realise gorilla glass isnt all its cracked up to be
Absolutely no scratches
My Desire was one of the first delivered last year - and until today there is absolutely no scratches on the glass. And I wear the phone with me every day, it has fallen into the dust etc., etc. The metal frame has scratches, the metal plate around the cover of the camera. But not the front glass. I'm really extremely happy with the glass quality.

You might have been lucky there..ever tried to look at it under a very strong light? Micro scratches aren't very likely to be seen in normal use.
I scrached it with sand so easy and once it felt on flor and got deep and wide scraches on glass and small bumps on metal. When screen is off I can see scraches easy.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I confirm: absolutely no scratches. NO. Not big, not micro. None. Niente. Nada. Nirwana. Gar Nix. Rien du tout.
And if they aren't noticeable under normal light what does it matter
My 1st desire arrived the day after orange put them on sale, so it was one of the 1st. After 2 weeks of keeping it in my suit pocket the screen had some nice scratches on it (probably from a lighter). So I would say all ways have a protector on it, in my case a Zagg which went on my 2nd desire, 1st one got sent back as it was playing up later to be found out it was due to using some power saving app, least the replacement arrived with no scratches and the zagg went straight on.
Someone should do this to their Desire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2EYnUGUti0
Until then, I do not believe this has gorilla glass.

omg!!!! thats brutal!!!
thanks all for helping me to determine weather should i use my desire with or without screen protector....
so the bottom line is our desire actually doesn't have gorilla glass screen and it is not advised from most of u that not to use without screen protector...
Well, tbh i don't know wether it's gorilla glass or not...what i do know about that kind of glass is that it offers a good resistance when you try to break it, and it's overall more durable, otherwise it's like any kind of scratch resistant glass. This said, there's plenty of vids on youtube showing gorilla glass getting scratched (like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EimSyAIuDoI&feature=youtube_gdata_player), so why risking it, i'd say
I'm fairly certain its not Gorilla Glass since I've got a couple fairly big scratches through normal use.

Well, if the scratches are so small one cannot see them under normal conditions then I wouldn't care about them at all...

Well it still means that it can be scratched: if it falls face down on gravel you can be quite sure you'll get something noticeable
Also, maybe tiny scratches won't annoy you, but for sure they will affect screen durability...i mean it could crack more easily you know.
Hey man, i don't wanna be a ****, i just wanna say that all of the superduper hax glass powered devices i had or stumbled across in my long phone nerd career got scratched sooner or later...but hey, at the end of the story it's your baby, not mine
Also its kind of pot luck wether you get a good qualitly screen protector.
I bought mine for like £2 for 6 and they show scratches after a week
whereas my friends ones, which were also bought from ebay for a similar price do not
show one scratch in months, and hes a bmx rider and his phone goes through alot
more than mine. All his friends with iphones have cracked screens so its stronger than
that at least. Ill always use a screen protector anyway, gorilla glass or not.
people...google it. here is a link. my desire has no scratches at all, and i hate screen protectors. i like my phone pure - without anything on it. all the best
I cannot post links, so go to the corning gorilla glass and see the products
the desire definitely does not have gorilla glass. it is very odd that corning who makes gorilla glass says that the desire does have it though that is incorrect as htc has said it does not. i had my desire without a case for a few weeks and it has 2 micro scratches that can only be seen when you shine a light on it while the screen is off. i hate the feel of screen protectors so i just have a plastic case for it and i haven't seen any new scratches on it for over a year.
er...just buy a case, no screen protectors needed. My Desire is 12 months old and not a mark on it. Case I use hardly adds any bulk whatsoever.

Well i am a little bummed, i have a nice scratch in my week old Sony Smartwatch 3.... I hit the face of it on the corner of some granite counter tops on accident........ and now have a little cut in it. I don't think i really have any options, besides sending it to sony for repairs. I wounder what they would charge me? Just my luck..... oh well...
Had planned on getting a screen protector when they became available....
same with me, 1 week and 1 diagonal line from one corner to another.. gorilla glass would have been nice.. I didn't even think to screen protect (should have, horse bolted now)

I may look a seeing what sony will charge to repair...
There are screen protectors for this watch on Amazon UK. I wonder how good they are...
Ouch..sorry to hear, but thanks for sharing as I usually don't by protectors and now I will. Please do share if/when you find the repair price. Super longshot I know, but maybe Sony could realize this is a warranty issue since it is a device that should be able to take some bumps
Ok, so here is an update. Sony does not fix them. (That is what I was told) so I was advised to file a claim that the watch was not as durable as expected. I will send in the watch and see what they say. Best case they send me a replacement, worst case the send my old one back..
Hello guys,
Do you know what kind of screen it is if it's not Gorilla Glass ?
I've tryed a screen protector from Vikuiti CV8 but, as I feared, it is very difficult to apply it on a cambered surface. And on a little screen like this the lesser bubble is so annoying and visible that I prefer risking with no protector.
Has anyone tried on of these out yet?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skinomi®-Te...sr=8-2&keywords=smartwatch+3+screen+protector
Must admit ive never used a screen protector on a phone before - tried many many years ago but kept on getting bubbles so gave up!
Just wondering if they are easy to apply, very noticiable and whether you lose any sensitivity. Pretty worried about getting my SW3 screen scratched.

Usually i'm quite good to apply screen protectors to phones but I tried on my watch and it is too difficult on a cambered surface...
My experience with skinomi - easy to apply, not too much rubbery feel, but glares more outside. OK for the price until something better comes out.
Polywatch could be your friend.
Have you tried using Polywatch to remove the scratches?
You can give it a try.
Replacement
Any chance of getting a replacement glass?
I use one of these, Matt too which stops showing finger smudges so much.
easy to apply and no bubbles.

Mine shipped with a scratch in the AR coating on it! It may be good glass (I dunno) but it looks like the AR coating is very weak. Small recessed glass's don't have to worry about having a durable AR coatings but the huge one on the Z's looks like it going to be an issue for all of them.
Sent it back and already got another one. Spent a few min last night trying to cut down an old screen protector to fit but due to the flash being in the same circle - it causes major blow out when it lights so it needs to be much smaller and the edge needs to be blacked out.

You can protect the camera lens with some "cool" skins, like:
https://dbrand.com/shop/moto-z-skins
or
https://www.slickwraps.com/devices/phones/android/moto-z.html
mine has some lines too, I will get some pulish and after that a skin will help for good
hope it helps
Same here with Moto Z but this is a problem with all Moto devices all moto phones of this year scratch incredibly easy, ALL PHONES, from G4 Play up to Moto Z Force, I don't want to imagine how they will look the lens cameras in a couple of months later... terrible Motorola/Lenovo...
So far the only scratch I have is a small scratch on the top aluminum edge. No scratches on any of the glass. My dbrand skin should be coming some time this week. Black carbon back and white carbon camera.
can the camera glass be replaced?
Mine has some scratches and now that I saw that I'm not alone I knoe that is not my fault. It doesn't hurt the Picture quality but is really annoying
I set my Moto z play on the table and glass cracked can I get it replaced?

Hello,
i thinking of buy a Mi6, but now i read that the phone has no gorilla glass and some people shows youtube videos like an unprotected phone fall from a chair (about 50cm) and the glass of the frontside crackes. Is it really so easy to break the glass?
I would use it like all of my phones with a slim silikon case and a screen protector film.
Greetings Kullino

Thanks, that good.
But what about this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1yJ90IBI5M
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIfRJdFBnUY
Would a normal case like this: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/CAFE...8c1d-4d03-a1ca-9090326c1643&priceBeautifyAB=0
Enough for protection?
I have been using Mi 6 for about 5 month and I still have the case that was in the box with the phone, it is great but I also recommend a glass screen protector even though It looks bad and doesn't stick on the border of the phone. I have dropped the phone a couple of time already and my screen protector is cracked all over, without it think the screen would be gone
No amount of protection will prevent screen from cracking on any phone after an unlucky fall. There are no big differences across modern phones regarding that. They're all fragile enough to crack after falling on the floor.
Keep in mind that the MI6 is significantly heavier than the other flagships.
I bought this case from gearbest and looks really solid. https://gearbest.app.link/F0VWCY9eoJ
It's a bit expensive, but I think it's worth it.
The bigger problem from this case is the USB port cover.
Ruins the original phone look, but looks really nice in its own way.
I have the black version.
i have this. Best case ever. Search on aliexpress.

This case is really great.

I bought a 3 dollars armor case with a stand from aliexpress, its real good, my phone already fell a number of times, some real bad, but no damage or crack. No screen protector either because they are a scam but it seems people think they are miraculous
Looks like there is a plastic strip around the screen before the aluminium bezel as mine after just 2 days with a case has fine scratches already be careful peeps will annoy some.

I was supposed to create a thread regarding this but yes, I can confirm my P20 got scratched on the plastic strip surrounding the the screen as well!!! It is annoying!! why the heck did they use glossy plastic instead of the matte (like on the iPhone X)!!!! Mine actually was covered with case since day 1 but the friction on the case caused this!
SO.... ANYTHING THE TOUCHES THE PLASTIC WILL CAUSE IT TO GET SCRATCHED. PERIOD. Screw Huawei!
I just noticed that, the plastic is pretty thick, about 1mm, and I though it was a curve glass that run right down to the metal, also do note the metal around the back camera is also very easy to get scratched.

I have issue with p20 after a week use with fulltime case on. Very poor quality build.
oh well, I just have to live with the scratches. I'm just pissed that Huawei overlooked this issue when they did their QA.
Same here. Very bad quality. Shame on you, Huawei.
I have the issue of the back panel getting really scratched uo even with a case on permanently
Yep. I got the same issue. Damn it. I've been carefull with the phone all the time. It is perfect except that area u mentioned.
that's just stupid for a 700 USD phone.
Can anyone share a screenshot of these scratches you guys are talking about? I've had mine for about 3 weeks now (factory case+screen protector on) and don't see these scratches.
Some pics
any fix for this? at least to make the scratches less visible? damn piss me off.
I got Huawei P20 Pro and after 5 min of use it already has scratches on back glass. Sony XPERIA XZ2 Premium after a month without any case still doesn't have scratches on back glass. Bad quality for this price. Very disapointed. **** quality.
come on guys, it cant be that bad. I saw a ton of 2nd hand p20s and none of them had those scratches.. I had p9, p10, mate 9 .. and never had any issues. I am planing to buy regular p20, but you are getting me worried
I don't have any scratches... What are you doing with these phones??!! Scratches cannot comes by itself
I can confirm the same issue. I dont know why they decided to use plastic. I owned m2 m3 and now i own mediapad m5 and they all are with metal body with no signs of scratches in normal use. I'm too quite disappointed. Its weird build quality to be worse than their tablets for such high price. Otherwise i like the phone very much. The back is quite sensitive to scratches. I have one already even I've never use it without case. But it's very cool and beautiful with glass back. Can someone with mate 10 pro can confirm if the build quality is better or the same.
I think the P10 has the same "flaw" but I never had any issues with it.
edit: I bought a new p20, used the huawei case that comes in the box from the day 1..and yes.. I can already (after a week or so) see some scratches around the screen. nothing major though.. you have to go outside and keep tilting the phone from one side to another to be able to notice it.
I think they're factory scratched
Hello! Im from Chile, I have this phone since a couple of weeks now and yes, I can confirm that it has this exact same issue.
I'm a maniac when it comes to phone care, I've been using mine with the silicone case included since day 1, in fact I still haven't removed the back protective film, I think those scratches appear because of the friction caused when you put on the case and take it off a couple of times. The other day, I had to swap SIM cards a couple of times and noticed those ugly scratches, thought it was dirty but nope, it's a bummer for a premium flagship device, bad idea to use black, glossy and cheap plastic on the bezel.
Well... I guess we will have to live with it, because changing the whole LCD panel is not cheap nor easy, it's not worth the hassle.
