My screen has been getting scratched too easily. I know this is due to the shatter proof screen but still. What can I do about this? is it easy to replace?

Screen protector. Every review I've read comments on how easily the screen is scratched. I threw an aquashield on mine before even using it... problem solved.

What is the Desires screen made of? If it is a glass screen then theres no need to buy a screen protector. But if it is a hardened plastic then, yes. So anyone knows whats the screen made of?

Definatly glass, should be heat treated. I haven't bothered with a screen protector
If I were you, I'd get a screen protector anyway, just in case. Mine stayed about three weeks absolutely clean, but then two tiny scratches on my screen that I somehow got out of nowhere reminded me that if you convince yourself that the screen is unscratchable, you're wrong. Seriously, a cheap half-decent protector won't affect your screen or the colours, will be hardly noticable you won't have to treat the handset like a newborn baby, only for it to end up scratched anyway.
its glass. ask anyone who has cracked it and they'll tell you. It's not sapphire crystal though, just glass.
Hi guys. Basically I'm getting a Desire Z/G2 tomorrow. I'm coming from a HD2 that has gorilla glass on the screen and I'm wondering what's the G2's screen toughness like? Is it scratchable? My HD2 could withstand anything. I tried keys etc. and nothing ever happened to the screen. And that was trying to scratch it lol.
So yeah I wondering is the screen glass or plastic? I've tried looking around but haven't found a definitive answer. Some say plastic, some say glass.
So yeah basically, I'm wondering is the G2's screen glass or plastic? Or atleast hardened glass that's not easily scratched?
Oh yeah, and expect me to be in these forums more often after Saturday.
the screen is glass, but i dont know what type. i dont even have a screen protector or other protection yet (i will eventually) and its still scratch free. and for some reason, i have a lot of finger prints on it and it magically disappears after a while maybe it just gets wiped from my pocket or something
anyway, if you want some kind of proof just look at this:

Hi , I got a scratch in my nexus screen, is it possible to change just the outer glass? The LCD screen is intact.

You could, but to do it properly you'd have to find a way to separate your digitizer from the original broken glass and re-seal the new glass to the digitizer. This is extremely difficult and nearly impossible to do properly outside of a factory equipped with the proper equipment and it is far easier to simply buy a new digitizer assembly.
If it's just a scratch and not a crack, I would recommend simply putting a wet-application screen protector on the device. According to many posters around here, that typically covers scratches very well and protects from future scratches.

Got a link to the wet application screen protector threads?

Real sorry to hear about your screen, how did you happen to scratch it? The wet films work pretty well.

Screen protector, screen protector, SCREEN PROTECTOR.
I have a 1.5 cm scratch in my screen, its not that deep, but it visible. Anyone already fix this, or the only solution is replace the glass?
I found some screen adhesive on Ebay, it says that "repair" but never used before. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw...w=screen+repair+htc+one+x&_osacat=0&_from=R40
Thanks
The only option is to replace the screen. You could try polishing or smth but it isn't guaranteed to work.

Yeah, polishing it out will remove the oloephobic coating.
You might be able to find a resin fir repairing glass, but you might also end up making it worse.
A good screen protector should prevent you from seeing the scratches, but IMO they're horrible.
A screen protector could hide the scratch? Because it`s kind of superficial
Any good screen protector?

Once you have a flat reflective surface, you won't notice it. You probably will notice the crappy screen protector more

I have this weird outline on my phone, but I don't know it it is my tempered glass screen protector or if it is my phone's screen doing... something. It is visinle when the phone is off. It is inside the border of my screen and does not cross it.
I am thinking it is the adhesive on the tempered glass that has been cooked from the heat of the screen as it is most prevalent across the top and on the top half of both sides. It is also noticeable just above the home key.

I don't think that's the screen protector. I have been using tempered glass on both my phones and have never seen that.

Yeah. I finally went ahead and bit the bullet and removed my glass screen protector. It is the screen. It is not visible when the screen is on, but shows up pretty well when it is off. Sucks that I had to sacrifice the protector to make sure, though.
if your still under warranty you can get that fixed I just did a few weeks ago with that same problem

Funny you should mention that. I submitted an RMA request this morning.
That is a gap of air between the lcd and the digitizer. It means that is not glued properly.
This happened to me on an old phone, after almost 3 years of daily usage.
