How susceptible is the screen to scratches. Is the thin plastic film covering the display intended as a screen protector or can it safely be removed.

It holds like hell. This film it is not like many, which is not usable after few days. From my site is amazing. Score for LG
I wonder if the screen without the protective film is easy to scratches.

Did you remove the film?
No, I didn't. It perfectly fits and I have not reason for do that. I tried scratch direct display on edge and it seems, that this plastic is hard, but it is possible to scratch it relatively simple. BUT I haven't too much experience with touch displays, and of course - this is not too much expensive phone which should be scratch resistive.
maybe if you have found a perfect replacement for the default screen protector film, try using a scotch tape on the edge, then simply peel it off together with the film protector.
or will it not work? *lol*
I removed original screen protector, and after 1 month of use, even tho i payd attention to the phone i got 2 little scratches in the middle of the screen
Obviously is not a gorilla glass, but simple plastic

i took the protector off and after 2 days is full of scratches, keep it on.
is such a crappy touchscreen, not only quality wise but technology too (multi-touch bug)
Does Gorilla glass on SGS2 requires screen protector / scratch guard ?
I read it's scratch resistant but not scratch proof. I'm planning on using a flip case like Zenus Carbon flip case so it has some protection on screen but might forgo the screen protector ? Haven't decided yet.
Looking at my leather case from phone in pocket small scratches .
jje
Dam, you had to say that heh. Looks like maybe screen protector is needed after all
I was really careful with my s1 and still managed to get small scratches on the screen. Gorilla glass seems to be fine with things like keys and stuff, but sand particles or anything similar will scratch the screen very easily.
Always make sure you have clean pockets or a clean case.
Asked several times and answered
Gorilla glass is just scratch resistant while nothing is scratch proof in this world
Get a quality screen protector

Would you recommend some best brands.
gorilla glass is scratch resistant...... but the screen is covered with a coating which is highly scratchable & can be easily scratched from almost anything resulting in fine scratches that only can be seen under bright light at odd angles
this coating is supposed to protect the screen from oil and smudges so putting a screen protector on it just defeats the purpose of the coating
while also putting a highly scratchable coating on the screen defeats the purpose of the scratch resistant gorilla glass
so i think it's really complicated, but im keeping my device naked anyway
Come people,
Gorilla glass is Break resistant, not scratch proof.
Look it up.
Iphones are known for its glass to break or crack with 1 fall.
Its obvious that any material can be scratch, doesn't matter whether its steel or diamond IT CAN BE SCRATCHED.
I take it the Gorilla glass fitted to SGS2 differs from the Motorola Defy. Before getting my SGS2 I looked at a Defy and the advisor in the CPWH gave the Defy a real doing stabbing the glass with keys and wiping them across the screen and neither had any effect.
I really love the screen on my phone and am loathe to put anything on it that will get in the way of it or ruin the feel when stroking the screen. I am looking to get a Zeuz carbon flip case which has micro fibre inner lining which is meant to prevent rubbing scratching the screen. Reading this thread has me wondering now

Keys tend to be made from brass which is very soft. Sand however is much harder, mostly silicon with a MOHS value of 7 and will scratch glass and mild steel very easily.
Brass (Keys)= 3.5 MOHS
Steel = 5.5 - 7 MOHS
Sand = 7 MOHS
Gorilla glass???
now thats the question

i have had my captivate for a year, totally naked the whole time, the only scratches i see, are very small, and only visible in bright light at different angles. I hate screen protectors, my infuse, and inspire are also naked, so i will not be putting one on my SGS2 either
Gorilla glass isn't break resistant... Look in the general section, a guy broke his screen with one fall.

I've had every iPhone since the original and have NEVER (I repeat NEVER) scratched the screen (not even a miniscule scratch). That being said, on the iPhone 4 I've noticed many small little scratches on the back glass which says to me it's a different type of glass.
Assuming the SGS2 has the same glass as the front of the i4, I'll be keeping the front naked the way g-d (or Samsung) intended.
yep, sand is bad. Very abrasive. That why repair shops and auto body shops have sandpaper, sandblasters, sanding discs, etc. Sand will scratch anything but a diamond. Diamond is the hardest element on earth, so don't put your diamond earrings or wedding ring in your pocket with your phone. You'll be sorry lol

Had my SGS 2 for three days. Deep scratches in the glass. Gorilla glass my ass. Sad joke
Gorilla Glass or not, i'll put a screen protector on my phone...
Hi guys, just want to ask you all here.. Has anybody managed to scratch the stock antishatter sheet with finger/pencil which causes some fine lines on the screen? I haven't because i used additional matte screen guard on top of it for now.. So wondering how easy it was to be scratched. Not talking about the back side, only the front one.
I've heard some local reviews which applies Liquid Crystal protector above it and the end result was quite good.. But due to my previous experience with RAZR Maxx, i still have some doubts over it.. So does anybody have same experience?
(Sorry in Indonesian language bahasa, but he was using a Liquid Crystal screen guard and the end result was quite good)

The protector itself is quite good. But it has this anti-fingerprint coating on the protector that scratches off easily. Thats probably what you've seen. Using a screen protector on top of the sony stock one is very highly recommended !!
Yes, the shatter proof film is veryvery easy to scratch. Mine had hairline scratches by just wiping with microfiber cloth.

Is anyone using their Pro 7 without any main screen protection? I'm interested how good or bad is the screen when there is no film or glass to protect it. Can you post your impressions?

Thanks.
As far as I could inform, there is only scratch resistant glass on the screen, no website mention to have some kind of Gorilla Glass.
What kind of protection are you using? Full screen glass (as they say, 3D) with coloured sides, flat glass or film?
I tried three kinds of film (even from Nillkin) but neither of them glued completely on the sides and the smears from fingers were terrible.

I have a simple glass dont remember the firm . And a light blue meizu case. About the nilikin films you said i have one applied to my mia1 i found with a case . smears are an issue but it glued ok .
So i bought a new S9 plus device a couple of days ago and a little bit earlier I noticed one 1 mm scratch on my display. It is hairline thin and it creates a "nice" rainbow effect when on a white background and when watching at it at a 80-100 degree angle. I hope you know what I mean. It is really really small and thin and cant really be seen on a black screen, only when directly at the sun at a weird angle. My question is: Can a tempered glass protector hide the scratch and remove the rainbow effect ? How can I get over this stupid scratch even though i babysitted this phone like hell. Can that scratch be hidden in any way.
you cannot remove the scratch unfortunately, you can only replace the screen or try to hide it by installing the whitestone dome screen protector, which is applied using LOCA glue
that tends to hide small scratches on the screen
