Hey everyone, i need your input on something.
Long story short my phone fell from my hands this morning from pocket height and slided on the wooden floor for around a meter or so. Due to dust on the floor i inherited a few scratches.
I was wondering if anyone tried any toothpaste/polish/windex etc on the front screen to smoothen a bit the scratches.
I haven't seen this anywhere so i'm not sure, but does the screen have any kind of coating similar with what the lens cover has?
Thanks for the input and have a great year everyone.
No, scratches on the screen can't be fixed. Anything you try will be ineffective or make it worse.
Sorry!

AFAIK it scratches quite easily. I remember some Desire owners complaining about this, even from just having it in your pocket with your car keys. A screen protector is a must.
The screen is glass. I have had it for 2 months now and not a single scratch, not using any screen protector. I would say screen quality is very good, as god as any other phone (including the iPhone).
P.S. putting ANY phone in a pocket together with keys will scratch the screen. That is just stupid.
Yeah modern phones have reenforced polycarbonate, or Glass. either way very hard to scratch. yeah you'll probably pick up some reflective superfisal scratches, but you won't see these. i've got one, but I can't find it now.
point being, unless your a plank and drop it on gravel driveway or put it in your pocket with screws you'll be fine.
Sure a screen protector is a good idea, but not essential, tbh I couldn't get on with invisishield ones, and i spent £35 trying, so until next month i'm going commando lol.

I don't bother with a screen protector either - I'm just careful to put my phone in a pocket which doesn't have loose change or keys in it.

Ditto. Gone commando since April. No scratches at all.
If you're going to put it in your pocket, make sure there's nothing else in there that can possibly scratch it. And have the screen side facing you. So if some idiot bumps you, the soft back side will absorb the impact.
Well, this is just my personal opinion. Even though the Desire has a glass composite screen, I don't want to take the chance of accidently scratching the screen having paid so much for the Desire.
I think it is a sensible option to buy a suitable cheap screen protector that will not effect the sensitivity of the screen and still allow the screen to be functional. I currently keep my phone in a Gel Case with a screen protector applied.
The screen is very good, suitably rugged for a smartphone IMHO. I've a screen protector and a case here, but I rarely use them. I've dropped it twice outside on a stoned pavement from 5ft high (obviously unintentionally, once it literally flew 10m away at high speed) and twice inside on the kitchen tiles. Slept on it twice accidentally, waking up and finding it directly beneath me. Thankfully, not a single faint mark, scratch, chip or dent anywhere yet. Unlike what resulted with my last N97.

And don't drop it on the pavement. The screen WILL crack in a thousand places.......

I dropped mine on the pavement and it didn't crack got a few scratches on the housing and had a full invisishield on so must have been a bad drop to cut threw the shield.

I'd say it's quite a tough screen / phone all together.
I've dropped it a few times (dumbass thing to do I know) - but it's been on a softish surface, no damage.
I also keep it in the cover that came with my G1 when I first got that. It saves the phone from possibly getting scratched, or damaged. Although if it's full glass, I think it's difficult to scratch the screen anyhow!
Does anyone know if it is the same glass as the nexus one? There is a guy on youtube who took key and all sorts to that screen and it came out ok!
Well, I've had it since launch. Really like it. I use a Moko flip case and keep really good care of it. Yesterday I finished scrolling instagram and right where your right thumb lands 1" in was a scratch about a half inch long.... Seriously bummed. The only thing that could have caused it would be a grain of sand. I've had the same Galaxy s2 for over a year and zero scratches. Anyone else have any scratch experiences with this tablet? Or can recommend a screen protector that fills in small scratches well?
I had this with my first one before I returned it for a dead pixel. Admittedly I didn't have a case yet because it was still in the mail, but I put it in my
school bag in a plastic page protector so it would be ok, but when I took it out, it had a light circular scratch on it. By the time my replacement
Nexus arrived, the case was already here, so it's been on since day one and I'm yet to have a scratch.
Mine got scratched in two weeks even though it claims to have scratch resistant glass. Now I have screen protector on to hide up the scratches.
I've been using a flip-cover from the start and don't see any scratches yet. I hope it stays that way
Hello everyone,
As I observe base on Youtube demo of Fixez (At&t model) and Esimon's repair experience, the Optimus G Pro's LCD and digitizer are not glued except only to the screen's edge (black adhesive).
This observation is kinda weird as majority of Giant Manufacturer's like Samsung, HTC, & Sony smartphone's LCD parts are glued to the screen glass.
From a repairing perspective, I applaud LG's for the lack of its LCD's adhesive ingredient and saving me the trouble of separating the LCD and cracked digitizer but In a customer's perspective, I am also doubting the durabilty of the screen and apprehensive of its fragility.
My question is, base on your usage experience, do you think this lack of manufacturer's adhesive makes the Optimus G Pro prone to screen cracks easily in accidental drop of 3 feet and high or low temperature ?
ive dropped mine more than 20 times from desks, tables, car roofs and it also has taken a few dips in water and nothing has happened

Oh Joker, you're joking right?
Are using a tempered glass and Armor Rugged Case ?
I haven't dropped mine but my mother has dropped her quite a few times. Screen doesn't even have a scratch on it. My old LGOG took a dive in the toilet and still worked. Even fell in some frosty mix lol. LG definitely makes good quality devices. Samsung feels too cheap to me.

wish i was, really one time i was washing my hands and talking on the phone same time and i dropped it under the water stream and nothing happened to it. and today i was washing my car and forgot i left the phone like right next to the car. phone was dripping wet and nothing happened. think i might have a design flaw that makes it that good. lol. but seriously this phone has been handled by my kids and they are crazy and it has been great not even a scratch on the naked screen

You are lucky, did you apply a tempered glass protector and covered it with an anti shock case ?
well a 2 piece case rubber and hard frame. 8$ ebay case no screen protectors i hate them
Phone slipped out of my pocket while sitting down this past weekend..... Luckily the screen didn't crack but it chipped the bottom left part of the metal frame. Does anyone have any repair tips? I did a Google search to see how others repaired their iPhone metal frames but could only find solutions for scratches. I don't think high grade sandpaper will fix my problem. Please chime in if you had any luck/success with a fix. Thanks!
Hey all. Quick question here. I bought an S9+ without any contracts or anythign cash. I was due for an upgrade so I figured I would splurge. When I bought the phone I picked up an otterbox and a glass screen cover. I spent good money on the glass and I literally applied it right after I unboxed the phone, gave the screen a quick spray with the included solution and cleaned it up to perfection. The glass itself was annoying due to the loss in sensitivity. I set up the higher sensitivity in the phone, but I still had sensitivity issues when I noticed the glass protector was separating from the screen. Very annoying and one day I just yanked it off due to constant typing errors from inputs not registering. So I went online to Amazon and I picked up a Spigen wallet case so I could protect my screen in my pocket while not bothering with annoying screen protectors.
After a few short weeks, I noticed my phone had scuffs from the stitching on the case. I cant believe how fragile this screen is considering it was just a soft material scuffing it up so bad.
Anyhow, it's not a MAJOR issue because I do not notice them when the screen is on, but it certainly looks shady and will affect resale if I want to sell my phone. Any thoughts on buffing out the very small micro scratches?! Im nervous to take a magic eraser to the screen, but I have some at home and am tempted to test that out. Im almost curious if Samsung would warrant that, but I highly doubt it since it was an aftermarket case.
Looking for opinions. I am attaching a link to my Amazon review where I took a picture to show. Im not sure how to attach in here due to lack of file storage. Thanks for any advice.

I have carried my phones in my pocket for years and never had a scratched glass. I don't put anything like keys in the same pocket but that's why I wear jeans, shorts, and slacks with 2 pockets. ?

So many people say they do this And never get scratches, yet every phone I've had had ended up with micro scratches. I'm the same add you and never place my phone in a pocket with anything else...

Never had any scratches on any of mine either, but might depend where in the world you are, certain types of dust/sand that have a high Mohs scale value could scratch gorilla glass, possible your region has those where ours don't, or at least not commonly
First few days I get a new phone I carefully clean it with a proper screen cloth, a week later I'm wiping it on pretty much anything soft I am close to

Caring your phone in your pocket is not safe if you are in dusty environment. One speck of sand dust can scratch your screen. The case probably picked up some particles. The stitching can not scratch the glass, neither can keys, coins, knives etc. Only things that are harder than glass like quartz. Even a speck of quartz dust can scratch your screen. You have to keep dust, dirt, and sand away from your screen or it will get scratched.
