This is essentially the hardest part to change on the phone, since there is adhesive between the screen and the metal rim back piece. There are videos on youtube that can provide you with the process, but this is typically related with cracked screens due to the fact that to remove the adhesive is a relatively rough task. Parts can be sourced on Ebay for around $20~30.
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.
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

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

Hmmm don't know
First of all, hi my name is Gabriel and I'm new in this community.
My girlfriend has a T-Mobile samsung galaxy s2, thing is she was using it for a while without any kind of case and screen protector so her glass has a few scratches that she wants to eliminate. The digitizer is completely functional.
Is it possible to just replace the glass? Replacing the whole screen (LCD + digitizer is way too expensive for a phone that works fine)
I found the glass on eBay : //item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=300695417455
Is the process way too complicated? Is there any risk of damaging the phone? I've searched for YouTube tutorials but no dice.
It comes as one piece its virtually impossible to separate the glass from the digitizer without destroying the digitizer..

I've seen people do it on the S3 but not on our phone.

Does the bezel is so fragile? I know from my S1 that its scratching easily or peel off, but i have the phone for 2 weeks and a strange dent appeared on lower rigth bezel near the display, but i haven't dropped the phone and Im the only one who is using it. The dent looks more like someone stucked a pencil tip between the bezel and display and some part of the bezel lifted away from the spot.
Edit: Saw now that this is the Note 1 forum, sry for mistake, I have a Note 2.

The bezel on my Note 2 is scratched a little in the cornets but I have dropped the phone, also a tiny part off my screen is scratched but because I lend my phone to my mom and she put it in her purse. But the bezel being separated from the display have never happened to me

Yea I got exactly what you're talking about but mine was because I dropped mine on a hard surface. The bezel has even pulled off from some of the corners. I'm looking for a way to take the entire chrome off.
