I've got 2 scratches on the screen one of about 2 cm and a smaller one of about 8 mm.
Is it possible to get just the screen replaced ? I don't want to have too much trouble replacing it as I've kind of get used to it, but it doesn't look pretty.
Had BTW a dream last night that the screen got shattered - fortunately I woke up and look at it and thought PHEW
EDIT: Whoops - this should have been in Q&A ...
Did you take the factory screen protector out ? If no then every X10 comes with a screen protector already applied. You can check the edges you will notice it.
Damn.. I did not know there was such a thing
Thanks for telling me - but how do you remove it ?

Grow your finger nails or ask some with BIG fingernails. A knife will do it but may damage the fake chrome in the side. Be careful.

Just put a new one after removing the old one.. it becomes moisture sensitive without it.
In my X10 box, there were tree of this protectors. So you can replace without buying a new one.

I removed it and replaced it with a spare and I now have a screen without scratches. Thank you so much for mention it. Otherwise I might have been going down to the store where I bought it and would have given them the laugh of the month
EDIT: Could your help be a sticky? I don't think I am the only one who wasn't aware of the screen protector.
I think X10 has got a scratch proof screen ??
I read about it on gsmarena and many other sites ..

Yup, it has a scart proof screen. If you're not a messy person you will not get any scratches on that.

Mineral glass, crystal glass... same thing different name.
Mineral glass is ordinary tempered glass made from silica. It is more scratch resistant than Plexiglass which is a plastic also used for watch crystals.
The most scratch resistant crystals are usually mineral glass coated with synthetic Sapphire.

Gorilla Glass does not have mucht diffrents with the crystal/mineral glass from the x10.

Agreed.. Took my screen protector off about a month ago and it's still mint
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk
it comes with a pre applied screen protector, and yes my phone wistanded so much friction and the screen is still as it was out of the box
I removed the screen protector after about a week after I got it, up to now it's still in mint condition. I look at it under the bright sunlight to see if there is any scratch recently, but I found none. So, I believed that it is true, that it is using a mineral glass and scratch resistant, but not scratch proof...
Hey same my screen is pretty mint with one month or normal usage with only the hidden screen protector. I do not think that the screen is scratch resistant but more like the hidden screen protector is.
IMHO I wouldn't take off the preapplied protector unless u replace it right away. I took off the protector when I got it and now my screen is really scratched up. There's even an imprint from when it came into contact with a hot lighter.

Lucky you took the protector off. It would have melted and been stuck permanently. How would you have taken melted plastic off the glass?
mine survived beach use... pretty tough

I had a fright the other day when I saw what I thought was a crater from where a bit of hot ash had landed, then realised even it was it had a SP on, in fact it's got two because I put another on not knowing it already came with one applied. It was just bit gravy after all, but had it of been ash it could have been nasty was the screen not protected.
And you can obviously show that it's not really "resistant" as such so I'm with you, leave it on or replace it straight away. But each to their own and all that.
Out today in a construction area place doing a bit of business took me phone out my pocket and dropped it. Haha am gutted. Top right hand corner is scuffed really badly and dented , didnt seem to be a hard fall but it did fall on concrete...
So my first drop 2 months in and a bad drop it was.
Anybody know any good techniques to try smooth it out ? . The glass is fine just the top right hand side of the rim.. Could i get it replaced?

Condolences. It's frighteningly easy to drop this phone & I'm sure any of us would be gutted if it happened to us.
I have a gel case and a screen protector on my S2, it`s too easy to drop very expensive gadgets, you need to fit some protection unless you have loads of money.

Lol I feel sorry for ya buddy, same thing happened to me just a week ago.
My little bro took my phone and was messing around with it, when he saw me he panicked and threw the thing and ran lol. You can't imagine how low my heart sank as I watched my S2 soar up in the air and come down crashing. Like yours the top corner part of the rim was dented and sorta squashed.
What I did was take a flat plyer and basically shaped the rim to how it was. You just gotta cover the phone with a few layers of thick cloth as to not scratch it with the plyer and take your time doing it. And voila the thing looks as good as new apart from some initial scratches from the fall.
If you wanna try it then be careful and wise cause I'm not to blame if you crack the glass
I dont know if an zagg invisible shields full body would have made and difference with impact damage.
Maybe a wrist strap would have worked better if you dont like bulky cases, the S2 is designed to use a wrist strap, see the hole above the volume key.
Anybody know if its possible to buy the rim seperate as this is the only part that is damaged. Everything else is fine..

your looking at big doh and a tricky job mate
the easiest way to do it is to buy the whole front , glass , touch screen , vibrate motors , etc etc this will set you back approx 85-100 pounds and they can be found on ebay
i say this is the easiest way but you still have to move the mainboard to the new front as everything is built into the front of the phone , its an amazing bit of design by the way , just a bit tricky to swap fascias and bits etc
it can be done but it isnt easy and the easiest way to do it is very costly
sorry it wasnt better news mate

really???? i wouldnt say they were useless and i am sure all the people who have scratched sgs2 screens from dust particles (dust can contain things like quartz) or sand from the corner of their bag/pockets would say they were pretty worthwhile too
i would rather scratch a screen protector then scratch my gorilla glass thats for sure
you only have to see the ''i scratched my sgs2 screen'' threads on xda to relaise they arent ''especially useless '' as you put it
have a good day and hopefully you dont come a cropper and end up with a nice scratch on that shiny screen and wandering why you never fitted one of them ''especially useless'' screen protectors lol

Not really, gorrila glass is very resistant to cracks, but can be scratched by something as small as a grain of sand which a screen protector will resist, or be replaced.
As far as the rim, do you mean the bit around the screen, or part of the back? If it's around the glass then you may have to replace the screen and glass, as removing the screen from the glass to replace it and the rim is very difficult!

Gorilla glass is the screen glass itself. It's not a screen protector. Sure, it's possible, if you want, you can order the glass yourself, measure it to fit your X10 and take out the stock glass, and replace it.
But it'd be hard to do that, and I don't know how much a Gorilla glass costs.
Thnx for explanation friend. Gonna email to Corning asking that.. i´m fan of SE but no Handset with Gorilla Glass T__T ..

Sorry, getting gorilla glass through Corning is going to be cost prohibitive.
I've tried to order custom sized pieces (just plastic for something unrelated) and there are a few things working against you.
Corning will not do a one-off order. They themselves will require probably a minimum 10,000 pieces.
Corning will need to design the piece, this upfront cost will be included in your first order. And they'll probably need at least 1 donor X10... probably multiple.
There are a few companies that make glass similar to gorilla glass - but you're probably still going to have to order it in bulk. And then let's hope that they got the measurements right the first time.
Unless if a company thinks they can make money selling gorilla glass panels to users off ebay... your only choice is really to buy a new phone that comes with gorilla glass.

you didn't remove the original screen protector though, the scratches aren't on the actual screen.

I think you still don't understand. Gorilla Glass is the GLASS itself. Screen protector is something else. If you have bought one, peel it off, and you'll see that there's already a screen protector. And if you peel it one more time, there wont be screen protector anymore. And that's the screen.

A stupid question: does it have sense to have a screen film protector on Galaxy S3 or it will just make the touchscrenn less responsiveness?
Personally I always use one, it stops micro scratches, helps resale value, and doesn't affect responsiveness one bit.....go to accessories forum for all you need to know

If you don't use a screen protector your phone will scratch. Grab a zagg and put it on correctly, Ive had mine on for 9 months now I think. Or since the release of the s3 and still not a bubble, lift or scratch.

The problems in noticed with zagg protectors are the orange peel effect on the surface and lots of lint seemed to get stuck around the edges of the film.
But I would definitely recommended a screen protector. The screen is hard to scratch, but not impossible especially if there is any sand nearby

Everybody must know for their own use, i don't use a protector anymore. The touchpad works much better without one - thats only my opinion! If sometime there will be a scartch, so it is. We all will die...
My old Desire was a year saved by a protector - the last one without. Got no scratches in my jeans pocket...
Doubt you'll lose any responsiveness at all. I have a very cheap protector on. Amazon sells 12 for like £2 and with the GS3 screen being so responsive, it even works fine with my thin gloves on.

if you use a screen guard, you don't have no problem with responsiveness of the screen.
It is imposrtant to protect from scratches...
Let's use it!
S3 screen are sensitive. Wearing screen protector will not lose it sensitiveness. If it lose a little bit, u will not notice them. Im using anti-finger glossy screen protector. Kinda hate it coz it make screen not sharpness as it should be.
Although it corning gorilla glass but beware. Sand in pocket can still scratching ur screen.
What's the consensus on which is best?
Please let me know as well.
What I'm looking for:
- Anti glare
- Oleophobic coating
- touchscreen responsiveness
- high transparency
If possible I'd like to see some before and after shots as well
Here is a first before-photo with the pre-applied screen protector still in place http://mtb43.tweakdsl.nl/IMAG0142.jpg
The best i have found and love it
Try illumisheild store.com
I paid 25 dollars for the sony one and threw it the garbage it was thick and wouldn't place correctly.
This was super thin and transparent and easy to apply.

Well I tried to apply the dry application atfolix protector and lets just say I failed badly! There is just NO way even in a wet bathroom that I can apply one so large and not get crap between the screen and protector.
So I'm running no protector.
When the wet apply XO Skin is avaliable in the UK I'll try that.
Ultra Clear is the best. Anti-glare will make your screen too smoky.

Maybe not but how do you go about replacing the one Sony has on there? I also have a 3 year old that it's his "my pad" so even though it doesn't leave the house it could use all the protection it can get :silly:
To answer other questions, the XO skin is pretty good with fingerprints and isn't too soft where swiping is annoying. It is smooth but I wound up with a couple of rough spots but they don't bother me any or stand out much. It is a wet application and maybe more challenging to apply, especially at this size but it came out nice and im happy with it.

Well I tried to apply the dry application atfolix protector and lets just say I failed badly! There is just NO way even in a wet bathroom that I can apply one so large and not get crap between the screen and protector.
So I'm running no protector.
When the wet apply XO Skin is avaliable in the UK I'll try that.

Well I got the XOskin wet apply protector and fail!
All the videos show that you can move it around whilst wet to align it properly, not true! I guess it's due to the plastic shatter thing Sony apply, but as soon as I placed it on the screen bam no movement.
Due to this constant up down up down to get the damn thing aligned, I have dust galore under the protector (yes I did do it in the bathroom with the shower on).
So off it comes.
Man I've spend around £40 on screen protectors and not one has gone on correctly. So no more!

I got the official Sony one with my tablet (free along with a 8gb microsd card). I plan on putting it on tonight.

I've noticed that my tablet is a fingerprint magnet haha, does anyone know of a anti-fingerprint protector that i could put over sony's shatter resistant one?
