It is prone to scratches but not 'easily' depends on how you handle it
On screen it has gorilla glass.Tough SOB, can't scratch with most objects(keys,coins,whatever you have in pockets).Different story with sand particles though.Sand impregnated in clothes texture will make something similar to sandpaper.This is highly abrasive and it will scratch the glass.In time you will have micro scratches.This happens to all displays,not just this one.
For the back, just buy a case and that's it. I have only that, no screen protection, i find it useless.
Does a Gorilla glass in anyway prevent scratches on the screen ? If not, what type of screen protector is best such that it doesn't take away any brightness or clarity of the screen ?

Never used screen protectors on my last P1 and my current P6. IF you're going to use any screen protectors make sure its military grade like the ones sold at zagg.com
But if its just a simple plastic protector? don't bother, it will just get scratched by normal stuff that would not scratch the gorilla glass.
:highfive:
on my old S2 I tried various screen protectors, and most were cheap rubbish, but tried a media devil magic screen one, slightly more expensive, but well worth it.
they've just released one for the P6 and just like the one I used before its excellent, perfect fit and very easy to put on, and no bubbles first time
Can't post a proper link, but google it, or you can get them on amazon.
From my reading, Gorilla glass is scratch resistant. And P6 uses the Gorilla glass 2. There is toughness test of it on youtube. But despite all that it isnt 100% scratch proof. So I would have to look for the protector. I would miss the real thing
I run through my cheapest screen protectors ever but they were pretty cheap on ebay, but it was so worse I had to put it off bcz it didn't looked nice anymore...
Now I'm without screen protector and it's much smoother surface and not have seen any scratch yet for almost a month using it and sticking it in my pockets...
But I think I will buy me another good screen protectors to be sure no scratch will come on the screen bcz I heard it will get scratches with sand and stuff...
had various device with gorilla glass before, iphone, galaxy s3 and s4 some from sony etc etc never used screen protectors of any kind and never got scratches. only thing to worry about is sand and stone. those will go trough the glass as a knife trough butter
Bought this one , yesterday :
ES3 0.6mm Premium Real Tempered Glass Film Screen Protector For Huawei Ascend P6
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321188169415?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I'll report next week , when it arrives
Well I would say the screen of P6 does not require any screen protector...because the gorilla screen it has is quite resisting one to scratches and more over the screen protector might disturb the touch experience...so not so much worries to use P6 without any screen protector...
Would screen protectors significantly help protect the screen glass during drops ?
@pvillasuso, any feedback on that purchase?

Just got a scratch, I feel depressed. It's a small one, made by something that was in my pocket, dunno what it was. - Sure hope a screen protector will hide it!

I feel you :crying:
Thankfully I got one screen protector free along with the casing I brought. So I have that for now. But i am worried about drops because if the screen breaks, it is going to cost a heck lot of money to get it replaced. So i am still wondering if a tempered glass screen protector would be full proof against that, in which case i would buy one.
I don't mind falls, my warranty will replace then. Waiting for my screen protector, coming in 2 weeks.

Received and installed my Zagg InvisibleShield yesterday.
The installation went well and Im pretty satisfied with the outcome!
No airbubbles or fingerprints visible. The installation kit that came with the protector was really helpful.
Will add pictures later if I remember

I dont beleve in scratch proof screens. they DO get scratched, especially whey you have an phone for two years. I use GhostArmour. so far so good
I use GreatShield protector and so far so good. Applies very easy and fits perfectly. Didn`t experience something to complain about. Highly recommended. :good:
ZAGG INVISIBLESHIELD this one is very good, give an extra glance to ur phone.
I use if protective screen is more protected
I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know
Clear protector: link
Antireflex protector: link
It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.
My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection
Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet
I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

I guess I didn't put it clear. I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK, haven't received yet.
If anyone can find a glass screen protector for the Moto G please let us know. So far I haven't found a glass one anywhere. I can't stand the plastic ones, but the glass ones (like the ones made by SPIGEN) fell just like the original screen.
didn't find one glass screen protector for MOTO G...if someone has found it then do share the link...desperately want one to gift to my friend on Christmas......
Thanks in advance.....
Did anyone find one in Mexico City?

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.

I'm one of those people who can't bear to leave the house without a screen protector. I've made my own by cutting an iPad screen protector to size. Looks ok to my eyes, though I'll treat myself to a decent one when they become available.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.
I brought a case which is actually quite decent and it came with an OK screen protector. I applied it like a 2 year old so ended up taking it off and throwing it. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161166397679
I saw a Samsung reps galaxy note 3 the other day that he had in his pocket with keys and everything and the screen was scratched really badly, not just a little and that apparently has gorilla glass 3

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.
BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.
screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
Hi Everyone,
Long time off the forum as I haven't had a phone that has warranted any use of this wonderful site.
Picked up a Moto G yesterday and I was wondering what people experiences with and without screen protectors for this device have been. Last "proper" phone was a Galaxy S2 and in the two year it survived it picked up a couple of small scratches, only one of which was visible enough to annoy me and it was dropped a lot, screen down.
My question to you all is that do I really need a screen protector is is this modern Gorilla Glass good enough to warrant not bothering.
Thanks!
(Sorry admin if this should be in Q&A but it feels more pertinent to this forum)

I havent used a screen protector for a while now, feels better and i haven't had a single scratch.
with the gg3, i can't see a reason to use a screen protector. until now, I don`t have any scratches too
I am using matte protectors. I feel more comfortable having one of them on my moto g
i've used a matte protector but the screen looked bad and i took it off.No need for screen protector,only sand can scratch it.
My Moto G fell down one time and now i have like a 3 mm scratch in the display, since then i used this kind of protector http://www.ebay.de/itm/Motorola-MOT...y_PDA_Displayschutzfolien&hash=item3f30f9ff7c and it works best for me
Well, I managed to scratch up my screen within three months of purchase. So I use a tempered glass screen protector and it works pretty well for me except for a crack, the result of it falling screen first twice in five seconds. ?

While the Moto G has great protection from scratches thanks to Gorilla Glass 3, you'll eventually get scratches if you are in an environment where there is sand. Sand will definitely scratch your display, so if you get some sand in your pocket and whatnot there is a high possibility of scratches. I purchased anti-glare screen proctors as I use my phone a lot outdoors and it works great.
Gorrila Glass is still glass and has the risk of damage, either scratches or worse. So its a matter of reducing risk, not a matter of 'do I need it or not'. Perhaps the risk depends on your use and habits, but its always there.
Me personally, it always seems logical to use one. If it can save me from a expensive repair, a ugly scratch or a decreased value in case I want to sell it... why not? I never experienced loss of touch screen functionality.. Especially the tempered glass ones are nice.
Look up nanocoating spray on ebay. This is whats inside the phone but they have a liquid developed for screens that supposedly makes the screen 5 times harder and scratch resistant and water repellant. Molecoat on ebay looks good and they have a video on youtube (thats what sold me) chinese auction but you can get it for $10, thinking about trying it. I always had a screen protector on my phones but hate how it takes away from the sharpness and color from the screen with the "hd clear' ones.
I only use tempered glass protectors. I've abandoned film altogether. There's just no substitute for glass.

Why not stick with Spigen?
Bubbles only occur if there is dust or particle underneath. I've installed multiple screen protectors flawlessly. If there are bubbles caused by particles, I just use scotch tape and remove it.
Yellowing is very rare. Most standard screen protectors don't use water. It uses static to cling to screen. Only those "shield" require water and even those aren't smooth or clear.
It seems people are into tempered glass now. I just ordered 2 (one for me and the other for wife). I won't get my phone until Saturday. So I'll have the tempered glass and case before I'll have phone.
i am using momax glass sp...very good as it prevent lot of finger prints and smudges

I got the Skinomi glass protector:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-Tech-...TF8&qid=1406120489&sr=1-1&keywords=g3+skinomi
I had one for my G2 as well. I didn't notice the iCare one; it seems to be half the price, and seem identical from what I can see. You can't even tell it is on, it never scratches (I problem with the plastic films, you eventually get nicks, etc). I had no problems with knock on/off or sensitivity (it has the appropriate cutouts - earlier versions of the G2 one didn't and that caused problems, IIRC). Great investment, you'll likely never need another protector (I had to replace my Spigens every few months on other phones).
For the price difference between the Skinomi and iCare: not sure why. I know if the Skinomi comes with a an alcohol swab and microfiber cloth as well as a large screen-sized sticker for pulling off any dust right before you put on the glass. Not sure if the iCare comes with those, but they were handy. Not sure if they were $6 handy...
I never had an issue with regular screen protectors. I put them on my phones and they last for the 2 years+ until I get a new phone.
Most I paid for the flimsy screen protectors is probably $15 for a 2 pack from reputable brands. This is my first time buying a tempered glass. This may make me buy tempered glass for all my phones in the future.
I bought that same ICarez one a few day ago and to be honest Im happy with my purchase. Its a good fit, no too thick and doesnt effect the screen sensitivity too much. As for fingerprints its the same as the actual screen glass ie fingerprints do get on it but wipe off very easily.
thinking about trying this
http://www.invisiblewaterproofing.com/
Maybe it's cliche but I got the Zagg HD put on mine and it's spot on. The fact that it self-heals is a big help. I also kinda like the slight grip.
I have the Spigen tempered glass on mines. Flawless! I got lucky and lined it perfectly on the first try. It also doesn't bubble up with any case on. The only con is that it's quite expensive, but it performs as advertised so I'm satisfied with it.

I switched from Spigen (plastic) to an iCarez tempered glass. Very, very happy with the results. I had issues with fingerprints with the Spigen, and the tempered glass just feels better.

Yes I got the .33 mm Icarez and I tried taking pictures but you really cant see anything in them. Its just basically a glass over it nothing really to see but il post what I can
I ended up buying the tempered glass from the Verizon store (didn't wanna change my phone while I waited for one).
Plays well with my otter box after removing built in screen pro, and my ballistic. Can't even tell it's there. .
Not to mention I seen someone drop a 15lb weight on their phone, and just the tempered broke. Your results may vary, just passing it along.
