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.

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.

Lol. When you put it like that gorilla glass doesn't sound so tough anymore haha.

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.

caaznkid, do you wear an ear ring? Mine has micro scratches from it.
Every one says sand but I scratched mine with salt much more common

Salt. Might have used my phone with salt on my finger that sounds more common haha. No earring though.

I thought the gorilla glass is suppose to unscratchable and unbrickable. When my phone took a dive there was a big gash on the screen, i was so pissed i almost sue Samsung and sprint for lying

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.

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.
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..
Until they drop their phone and it gets scratched
I always use one. They cost 3 dollars on ebay for 6 with free shipping. Its worthed
I dropped my phone plenty...
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

Hmmm don't know
I noticed that my galaxy note 2 have small scratches in the screen and I never dropped my phone. Anyone with the same problem?
So much of the Gorilla Glass 2. they are not scratch proof anyway.
I was lucky when samsung changed mine when my screen had dead pixels
sometime ago. Get a flip case & screen protector when you buy a new phone.
Please reply if anyone has the same issue.

It's not an issue. Gorilla glass isn't scratch proof, it's scratch resistant. Grains of sand in your pocket can scratch the screen if you're unlucky.

Fully agree with you. Especially if those 'grains of sand' got between your flip cover and screen.
Do not use screen protector or flip cover.

I'd rather have scratches than use a screen protector. But FWIW, I've never been able to scratch the screen on either of my N7's.

I have the otterbox defender case with the verizon glass screen protector that was included with the bundle at time of purchase. so far, so good. if this screen protector breaks i will immediately get the zagg glass screen protector. unless of course the zagg goes on sale soon

Yes. I use the Zagg and you need to remove the one o the Otterbox. The screen protector on the Otterbox is attached using a thin bead of silicone similar to the glue used to attach address labels to magazines.
Separate the two Otterbox halves and remove the protector by pushing on a corner of the protector from the outside. Once the corner is loose, slowly peel the protector off, trying to keep the bead of glue attached to the protector.
