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

Show me where Sprint or Samsung or Corning ever said Gorilla Glass was unbreakable or unscratchable?

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.
Can you rise the wet applied protector up get the clean the dust places then use solution to reapply the protector again? or once you take it off, it's done?
Tried that before. Didn't work. It's a one time deal. The moment you peel it after settling, it stretches already

Oh, I guess I will just get a new one..its just two bucks

My advice to those who use screen protectors...which should be everyone lol. Avoid this case. It will flip the edges and un-stick the screen protector. I am not sure if my case was "defective" but just be aware guys!

Had the same case before returning it, had the same problem (main reason I switched)
Yup same here

Too bad; that is a fairly handsome looking case!
Yup I had the same issue. And my power button kept getting pressed

I have it too, and I haven't really had any problems, but I don't like the plasticky feeling texture on the back.
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.

Heard about this a million of times..so the first thing need to be done is to use screen protector when buy new phone..learn from others mistake n dont ignore it or you will regret about it

I've been using my Note 2 for nearly 2 weeks now and I am not using a case nor a screen protector.
I'm thinking of buying a flip case but not a screen protector. x_x
Same here - zero scratches without any kind of protectors

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.

Hello guys,
I haven't found any drop tests of N5x, just I found scratch tests and the phone survivals them.
Has your phone ever dropped? How high it was? I just want to know if is it worth to buy a bumber or not. My nex just falled down once from about 0,5 m on the floor and the frame on the screen is a little bit bent, but you can see it only when you are looking very long and close at the phone.

I've dropped my phone a handful of times but everytime was in a TPU case with tempered glass screen protector. Heights were usually waist high to tile, concrete, carpet. No signs of any damage anywhere.

Probably depends where it falls. I dropped it on a rocky ground from very little height and it cracked, also my camera glass is cracked or scratched too.
I've dropped mine twice. The first time from 4' (1.25 m). The only damage was a small scruff on the top corner. The second time (an hour ago) from 6" (15 cm) and the screen cracked. It all depends on where it hits.

Thank you for your replies.
I think the most dangerous is drop on the screen edge, because forces are spreading on less surface So screen cracks
Okay, so I will buy something to protect my N5x (never used anything on my all phones tho).
What do you think, better to buy Rhino bumper or normal case?

Protection is must as the plastic on this phone, specially the sides, is very soft and can dent very easily

So i was thinking about Rhino bumper, it looks very stabil.
But I don't know if still camera will protrude out of the bumper, it's also a point I'm looking at because I don't want to have cracked my camera

I've seen the Rhino bumper and even though it's "just" a bumper, it's pretty thick overall. I still prefer a TPU case like a Cruzerlite or Pleson. It keeps the height, width, and thickness to a minimum.

I'd rather choose something what keeps original look of Nexus, something like this case https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...us+5x+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51g1mxqnCML&ref=plSrch
But not this, something what protects phone and is transparent and keep camera safe from cracking.
Any ideas?

Yup that's the one. Got it back on June 10. Camera does not protrude. The TPU is protecting it so you can lay it flat on the back without worries.

Plastic means it can absorb damage without breaking. If it bends, it bends back to where it was unless it cracks.
Perhaps you're confusing plastic with metal? Metal phones bend and dent easily, and they are permanent.
I've dropped mine a few times in hard tile floor and nothing but minor scuffing on the corner. This device will not break easily, similar to other light plastic devices which have been proven to do well in a fall such as the Galaxy S4.
Just a quick PSA: Dont buy a replacement display from fixez.com. They are used and will have some kind of issue such as unresponsive touchscreen or lines across the screen. The company also wont reimburse you for shipping so you have to pay to return a faulty item they sent you. You have been warned.

If it was a metal phone such as the 6p, it would be bent and the glass probably would crack due to the stress.
