I read on another forum that someone applies rainx on the screen to eliminate finger prints and feels much more smooth when it toughs.
This's what he says: "thought i would post this in case it helps anybody - the smudges on the screen were driving me crazy i put rainx on the screen just now and it works great no fingerprints when you touch the screen and it also feels much more smooth"
I haven't tried it yet but I was wondering that since the rainx has an antifreeze compound, whether if it's safe to use it on the gorilla glass for the long run?
EDIT:
According to their manufacture website, the key ingredient in the rainx windshield washer is Methanol or simply alcohol.

So it seems ok to use it on the gorilla glass if it helps to reduce the fingerprints. By the way, I apply it on my tf and it helps a lot.
I use it and have done for a while. It's fine.
wow we learn something new everyday sounds good thanks for the info it was driving me crazy as well it catches fingerprints more than the ipad but this works great.
Clever idea, I like it! Will have to give it a try myself, thanks for sharing
Hmmm interesting, never thought about doing that
gonna give this a shot tomorrow

Which version --- there appears to be several.

hehe, what do you guys do with your TFs? i use a dry microfiber cloth and it's clean. or if the fingerprints are a bit stubborn, wet microfiber cloth.
I don't need a signature.
This has been posted here before. It works well on the TF and any pad with glass screen, You should not use it on non glass screens. Rain-x and a micro cloth will do wonders.
Tried it tonight. Worked very well. Using it on my evo and tf101

Good idea but i'm wondering if the rainx would cause any damage to the screen or even harm our body/fingers since we would be touching on the screen often, which means we're touching on the rainx chemical itself
where did you see that it had an anti freeze compound in it? I haven't seen that any where
1 squirt of windex on a paper towel works great for me.

I don't mean to ruffle any feathers here but the OP was talking about prevention and cutting down on the fingerprints, not cleaning them off.
Sometimes when I read forums on the net I get the distinct impression that some people just need to show off. Again no offense meant but the OP clearly meant prevention and not just wiping off fingerprints.
Not adding to the discussion about an idea is called trolling.
Thanks for the tip OP, going to try it tomorrow.

Give it a shot. Buy it at walmart or something similar tho, autozone upcharges rainx by about 3 bucks. I know, i bought mine there. LoL.
How often do you guys reapply the rain-x? just curious to see how long it lasts on there while being touched every day.
I posted this in another thread talking about the rain-x.
When I read things like this, the first thing that comes to my mind is always - "if this works so well, why would it not come like this" - because there has to be a reason. Pre-coating the glass in this way would not cost hardly anything, so there must be a reason that gorilla does not do it.
- Is there maybe some long-term reaction that happens over an extended period that could damage the screen?
- Does it cause halos in sunlight?
- Like others mentioned - is this compound safe to have on your fingers all the time, and perhaps get on your food? People aren't usually touching the outside of their car windshield all the time.
Anyway those are a few things i would think about. All in all, I'd be careful.
Read the ingredients on the bottle then decide. You should not be soaking the screen in Rain-x. two drops spread around will be sufficient. DON'T put on non-glass screens.

I'm pretty sure apple precoats their iphones with something (not rainx). Also, you say it would cost next to nothing, but i bet buying thousands of gallons of something that isnt really needed would be a bit costly.

Firstly, a warm greeting to the xda community for all your wonderful contributions to the push for education about these amazing devices we've come to know as smart phones. Truly learned so much through this site. However, I came to this page not eagerly seeking new info on the latest phone or newfound wisdom on my own, but heartbroken. At only four days old, the beauty of my newly purchased Vibrant has been marred by a small but deep scratch in the middle of the amoled. The means by which the scratch came about are, well, surprising to me even still. Was using the phone night before last, pinched in to zoom on a link while browsing the net. Apparently I had a bit of a hangnail on my thumb which literally dug in and carved out a scratch in the screen in front of my eyes. Now, I've perused this site and others thoroughly looking for a solution & am well aware of the flag-wavers for Corner and their gorilla glass technology. I'm not here to start a war or debase the company, simply looking for a viable solution to a problem which has really impaired use of this new phone outside of replacing the entire screen, something I cannot afford. Thanks in advance to anyone who's taken to time to read this tangent and actually respond, regards
lol a hangnail scratched it? sounds crazy. anyways i read somewhere that it can be polished out. not sure how true that is.
If you have access to a dremel you might be able to polish it out using some sort of scratch remover. You may have to do some digging but a while back another member on here wrote a very detailed thread on removing a scratch. Good luck.
Damn man.. a buddy I work with and I have literally tried to scratch it with keys.. even a friggin razorblade, NO JOKE! A hangnail.. you must be kidding, right? If you aren't, and you bought it legit, make sure it is under warranty and break it in a way that should work. I would be able to break mine happily if a razorblade didn't scratch it, but a hangnail did, lol!
But seriously, this is the first phone I don't have a screenprotector on, and I leave it in my pocket with things that should have tore it up, yet it is still as new looking as the day I got it. Hell, you may be able to return it just because that sounds like a defect.

Heres a link to the thread I was referring to!! Hope it helps!
I was gonna ask why you are posting at 2:30AM but then I saw your name....
Good luck with the scratch.
Can you feel the scratch?
Once I thought I had messed my screen up pretty bad. I saw several light "scratches" and tryed to rub them out thinking maybe they were streaks. Nothing worked, until I put a Zeiss Lens Cleaning Wipe to it and they came right out.
I don't use screen protectors, I use my phone every day, it's scratch free. I'm also a guitar player with long nails... just sayin.
Do you have a screen protector?
It really seems unlikely that you scratched the glass with a fingernail.
Are you sure that there isn't a screen protector on, and you scratched that?

Can understand why you'd assume I'm making some obvious misconception. Sadly, no, there was no screen protector on. The scratch is deep, the pixels inside it are reflected, giving a distracting warped look to them against any solid color other than black & it can be felt when running your finger across the screen. Though it seems unlikely, I saw it happen. If anything, hope this thread is another supporting opinion towards putting a screen protector on your phone asap. Gorilla Glass is Not impervious, my phone is physical proof. Thank very much for the suggestions and link, after further research it appears that a dremel, quality glass polish & some elbow grease is the only option I have. Hoping it works!
Please do not polish as someone else suggested.
You will make matters worse, and cause swirl marks, and a complete mess.
JUST LEAVE IT ALONE.
There was a thread somewhere with pics of someone polishing and repairing their scarted screen, it looked scarry. Don't even attempt it.
I have heard of using toothpaste and non abrasive cloth may work. I have lots of scratches on my camera lens, which is worse.
I also have scratches all over the screen (bought mine used on Craigs). This may sound stupid, but I put a screen protector on, and the scratches are harder to see.
Side note - most people with screen protectors on put up with much worse visibility as the protector gets used more. Most of the discomfort with the scratch is mental. Put on a protector and put in your mind it's the protector scratched up, and you will feel better. I know this from experience with the same phone.

Do NOT use toothpaste on your screen. It will only cause more MICRO scratches which will annoy the heck out of you outside in the sun or in bright lighting.
Trust me, I tried that. (But I got a replacement due to a malfunctioning earpiece.)

Ok, maybe I'm not a genius, but I would have thought the search function would have helped here, but alas either Im too simple or its too complicated.
I have seen DOZENS of screen protectors, ranging from $15 to $50.
What I have noticed is that MOST folks have said that the water applied ones are to be avoided (ok, applying water to your screen I can see that), then the one for $15 got such HORRIBLE reviews, starting with 4+week deivery times, Im thinking THATS not good either,.
So, for those of you who have invested in them, maybe a stickey that will help direct the rest of us to where you got youres what you paid and why you like Or dislike it.
would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks
Yes, I agree
+1
The Skinomi one is a wet application protector but if you follow the directions you will be fine and definitely happy with it. Read up on the thread for it at the Accessories section.
You don't spray the screen; you wet the protector before application. Read up so you'll know how not to screw it up and be patient after you've applied it to allow for proper drying before you turn the gTab back on.
I'm very happy with it.
SJM,
thanks for your reply, youre the 1st one I;ve seen who HAS been happy with the wet ones.
and I guess this WOULD have been better in accessories huh?
My search probably would have turned up more eh?
well I said I wasnt a genius.....
Thanks
The skinomi one sucks IMHO. It's rubbery and hard to get the blobs out, also if you push too hard you can dent it. And it is hard to play games on, there is too much "grip" when sliding your finger around.
I am still trying to find a decent hard screen protector that matches the one I use from SGP for my IPhone. Unfortunately they aren't making one, have no plans to make one, and don't even make one big enough to cut down to size.
So apparently I lent the tablet to my sister to get the hang of it (I know what they say about women and technology) but yeah soon to regret, After cleaning up and making the screen all shiny I noticed a rather long 1" scratch on the screen, I thought it was something that a little damp cloth can wipe off turns out it's actually scratched the screen. I've never dropped the tablet but I can't say the same when women handle it (No offense ladies, if ever)
I wouldn't mind if the sides got dented, but that 1" of deep scratch shattered my heart to pieces. So question is, I thought the glass was GorillaGlass, dafuq samsung? I've had a 3Gs for almost a year or more, and there isn't a single dent/scratch on that screen despite the heavy usage on it, same with my 8 month old Galaxy S.
They say it's Gorilla Glass, but what's that really mean?
Just wondering if she wears any rings, such as diamonds? Maybe it got dragged across the screen. Just a thought or do you know what caused it already?
Really sorry to hear, cause I would be going nuts about it. Not at her per say, but just having that scratch would make me nuts.
Just another quick thought. If it was for her to get used to, I would ask for hers before she scratches it. Surely have yours convinced her she can't live without her own.

It's gorrilla glass, but unfortunately, it's made of glass, not gorrillas. But yes, it's the same stuff as used in lots of consumer electronics. Ask Du Pont if you want more info. Scratch resistant, not scratch proof...

Yes, it's gorilla glass. Yes, it's resistant to scratches. No, it's not immune to them. It WILL get scratched if you chop your vegetables on it, it will get broken if you drop it from 2 meters, it will look like Swiss cheese if you shot at it with a minigun.
On a more realistic note, it can also get scratched by diamond rings, by putting it on the floor/table face-down, by pulling it in and out of a tight case if some sand somehow gets in the case, ...
Lending my device to other people is why I always have it in a case and why I have a screen protector on it.
If you're sure your sister is the one who made the scratch, and she is buying her own one, I'd ask her to trade the devices or something.
There are also some products around that claim they can remove scratches, but I don't have any experience with them.
Putting a screen protector on might just change the flow of light in a way that'll hide the scratch, but it can also do it in a way that'll make it even more visible/annoying. I believe The Invisible Shield was also said to be very good with hiding scratches, some people say that you can barely see any big scratches after it's on for a week or two. But again, no experience with that so I can't really say...

I'd love to put on a screen protector but it kinda kills the whole idea of "Gorilla Glass" I don't know if you watched the initial release before the 2G iPhone came out and they kept talking about how Gorilla Glass was one of the best inventions and so the praise went on, the had some live demo's and it was amazing (2 years ago). I don't really know if the glass on the tablet is not thick enough? or it's just a really thin glass pane? I do appreciate the feedback and thank you @slack for the free "thanks" hahaha, then again I too have a leather case (for the 7510 series) but people often mistake it for "ZOMG IS DAT AN IPAD?" and that disappointment on apple sheeps when you tell them it's a Galaxy Tab, they go like, "what's that?"..*FLIP TABLES AND *****
Putting on a protective screen is like wearing a condom while attempting to get a woman knocked up or better yet, giving a bulletproof vest to a tank, Best example I could think of so far, sorry . I'm not dissing android but putting on screen protects kinda adds another layer at which the device makes it harder to read your "touch" or electric impulses are they call it, I had one that came free with my initial Galaxy S and it was horrible, worst thing ever. Touch was less responsive and you had to press it hard enough like them old school vending machines.

Yes, I've watched a lot of stuff about gorilla glass, but I've also done some live testing at my university (we got a batch of pieces to compare it to normal glass). I even have the specific results somewhere ...
All in all yes, it's a great improvement. It is seriously resistant to scratches, it's much much (and I mean MUCH) harder to break, but still, it isn't perfect.
I wouldn't say your bulletproof vest - tank example is completely appropriate here, since a bullet shot at a tank wouldn't compromise the tanks usability (at least not mostly, there are some extreme cases when it might, but let's leave that stuff to Hollywood) - but a scratch on the screen of a tablet definitely would. And a screen protector does help against scratches from diamond rings.
I have an Ultra Crystal SGP and I haven't noticed the screen responsiveness to lower. The only thing that is bad about it is that it gets dirtier faster and seems to reflect light a bit more. I also don't have to press any harder then I had to without the protector, as soon as I touch it (actually a little bit before ) the touch is recognised. If you feel your screen responsiveness diminishes, you can also applications to raise the "touchscreen sensitivity".
Thanks for the feedback mate, once again
I might think about getting one of those "Armor" screen protectors. Hopefully when sharing the tablet among family or friends I can atleast be assured the tablet is safe.
Diamond ring would do it if someone brushed the screen with back of their hand

Disagree, Mate, I have a Zagg protector and a case as well. For the expense of a 32GB 10.1, I'm not about to risk damage. Other poster is right: it is made of glass afterall not gorillas.
Also, like another thing best kept covered; there's very little loss of sensitivity when its covered.
Don't be penny wise and pound foolish.
Cheers lads!
Im usually not a fan of screen protectors on my phones but when i bought my tab at best buy they had the zagg invisibleshield for $15. It wasnt easy to put on and it looked pretty bad at first but once it dried out It pretty much disappeared. I dont even notice it anymore. A 10" screen is bound to get scratched up. Im glad i did it.
I got a scratch on my screen, and It had to be a scratch because I couldn't wipe it off even with a few different cleaners.
A few months later - the scratch is gone!!!
Yes, I'm saying it healed itself. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I have a scratch that just appeared on my Tab... I am the only one who uses it, and I keep it in a cover, didnt put the screen just to get mad, ordered one today..., 1 question: is it realy Gorila GLASS?, I dont think so!

Having a screen protector does defeat the purpose of the gorilla glass. However, I would rather have that extra measure of protection and just replace the screen protector every few months.
I wonder how much does a replacement screen cost from the local showrooms?

I was about to say that, as good as it protects, it's more like a condom on the phone, a dry one.
What ticks me off about it is when you sweat through your jeans the whole screen becomes a mess and the phone (The one I had it on) could barely read my touch.
Anyone have a surefire repair for a scratched screen?

Im wondering if one of the scratch removing liquids would work.? I think they sell it at hardware stores, its sold as a car windshield scratch remover...
depending how deep and big the scratch is filling it with liquid glass fixer...would he loose touch in that area?...how big is the scratch anyways and how deep you think?
edit...there is a liquid filler and scratch fixer for acrylics we used to at work...it goes on liquid and dries clear...for minor cracks but that depends how bad it is,then we would buff the scratch out..but I don't know if that work on these screens..might cause more harm then good..
I've got the Best Buy Black Tie coverage but as silly as it seems, they will only take it back if the screen is completely cracked. Plus, I just got done modding the heck out of this thing so I'd like to keep it. The scratch is deep enough to feel with your finger nail and can be easily seen in the right angles. It's annoying enough that I stare at it. Ive already tried polishing compound for car paint and seen no improvement. Someone told me there are kiosks at the mall where watch repair people fix watch faces. It sounds like a good idea but after reading a post by a guy who redid his Captivate screen, I'm not so hopeful.

Try going back to AT&T store and see if they'll swap it for you since you're still in the first 30 days. I traded my black Note for a white one, just had to pay $35.
A cotton cloth and toothpaste or metal polish will get it out after many hours of rubbing.
Almost any screen protector over top should instantly improve the look and feel.
The Touch Digitizer Screen cover is hard to get now at a good price, but they will most likely drop to $50 before too long.
So who is going to be the first to try it for the S8? If you do can you report in case compatibility as well?

too expensive!!!
I just ordered one. Will update you when I get it and try it.
Ok, I'm intrigued. Please do report back.
I'll be getting mine Friday for the S8+. I'll report once I get it installed.
this is the first time seeing a screen protector getting applied like this... wow. although it is expensive, I would still buy it if it works well.

Yeah I am debating on getting it. I've been through 4 glass screen protectors already though and I'm hesitant to spend more at this point. Right now I am running Illumishield maximum coverage aquashield with a commuter and its working out very well.
I ordered one and will be here tomorrow. My concern is how do you remove it if you want to replace it? That glue they use looks like Bondic. Bondic is a UV activated glue that hardens under the UV light and is incredibly strong. Before i apply it i need to find out what it is and if i can be easily removed if it breaks or gets all scratched up.

Before i apply it i need to find out what it is and if i can be easily removed if it breaks or gets all scratched up.

Very good point. Thanks for the info on the glue. According to the mfg, it can be removed., but the referenced scraping method would destroy the LCD glass.
"How can Bondic® be removed from smooth surfaces?
We recommend the use of scrapers. Giving the Bondic® a short, sharp shove from the side dislodges it cleanly from the base. Any remnants left behind can be easily removed with conventional cleaners."
They also mention using chemical agents. I've used acetone in the past to dislodge epoxy off my eyeglasses lenses, and it worked very well. It may be worth contacting them and ask more info.

When they mention scrapers, my assumption would be that they are referring to plastic tools/scrapers (think drywall spackle applicator). If this is the case, then you would need to be Hercules to damage Gorilla Glass with a plastic utensil.
If you have ever removed paint over spray from glass windows, then you'll understand my thinking. The paints sticks like glue, but one solid push in a single direction removes it fully with no residue.

After reading this, I may return mine when I get it tomorrow. Not sure I want to risk not being able to cleanly remove it. I usually keep my phones for about a year and then sell them and I don't want to not be able to easily remove this thing.

Just to clarify, I don't think that it's anywhere near this difficult. I was just responding to the post I quoted who was talking about damaging their screen because the company mentioned scrapers. The protector and all is residue is supposed to be able to be removed with nothing but force, and "household cleaners" if any residue remains.
Mine arrived today. Haven't opened it. Debating whether I want to apply it since my IQ Shield full body is already perfectly applied. May wait for more feedback or I might get really bored and just apply it.
