Hey guys,
Alright, so I just got my skinomi protector. I went for that one over the Moshi, maybe it was a bad choice. I installed it and it's been 2 days since. My screen looks like this now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
See those ridges? They're constantly there. I don't notice them when the screen is on, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't bother me when using the device. When off however, they're very noticeable. If you run your finger over the phone you can feel where it indents.
If I take my nail and run it along the screen, it will leave a trace, and it won't "pop back up". My friend has a Ghost Sheild on his Evo (which took this pic) and if I do the same thing, the "scratches" disappear after a few seconds. Is my screen protector bad? or did I do a bad install? Or is the thing supposed to look like this?
I have two more protectors that I can try if this is a bad install.
This was my first wet-install, so I probably did something wrong. I wet my fingers using the solution, and wet the protector (drenched more like it) with it. I didn't spray my screen though. I also took my finger and like, wiped the wet side to make sure it was wet everywhere. Then I just put it on the screen, aligned it a few times (keeping it fully wet though) and once It was perfectly aligned I took the install card and wiped it towards the bottom of the phone, soaking any of the liquid that was released with a napkin. I did that untill I got all the big bubbles out, and most of the water packets. It did have water still, but that dried after a few hours, and all the small micro bubbles went away as well.
Thanks for your help.
that looks horrible bro. I'm pretty sure its not supposed to be like that. The most you should get is maybe a slight orange peel texture like how zaggs screen protectors are. But nothing near that. I would try another one and see how it goes.
Alright, I'll try another. Did you read what I did? Is there anything wrong with that?
Mine is perfectly smooth and I did essentially what you described. I didn't spray the screen either, I figured there was already enough moisture involved to scare me. I did not move the fluid around with my finger and I was pretty anal about trying to squeegee every last drop of fluid out.
So maybe don't put so much on next time and don't mess with it by spreading it around.
It only took overnight for it to dry, which is about half what they say.
The only drawback is that it's a bit "grabby" when swiping across the screen. I really wish PowerSupport would make protectors for this phone. Their crystal clear one for the iPhone is awesome.
Yeah, the liquid dried over night for me as well. I just applied another one to my dad's phone, we both got the same one. So if his comes out ok, I'll order another one for me, if not I'll order two Moshi protectors, and try to get these refunded. I'm sure there's no way it messed up like this during install. I didn't crease it or bend it or fold it at all during install.
wet your finger, wet both sides of the screen and do not press too hard when you get the water out, those ridges look like too many indentations made by the plastic squeegee board...and do not use a credit card!
I have been using Skinomi for years, i install it in the bathroom after letting the place steam for 5 minutes. not one bubble, not one speck of dust and love the membrane feeling - so much better then the hard plastic screen protectors.
You do realize you don't need a screen protector with Gorilla Glass?

Yes, I realize that, however I already have a very faint scratch on the top of my screen. You can hardly see it, but it is there.

By the way, you plan on any roms for the GS2?

I've made sure to have nothing but my phone in my pocket without a screen protector for the past 1.5 weeks. Just three days or so ago I noticed that there was a really really light scratch near the top of the screen, right under the ATT logo. It's hardly visible, you have to angle it a correct way. The glass is really good, but it's not perfect. It -will- scratch eventually. I don't want to take that risk.
I just put a zagg shield on mine just to be on the safe side.
I just applied the second one. It came out a lot better, but I have to wait and see the full results.

Yes, GG is awesome... but you CAN get scratches. My iPhone 4 ended up with 1 really obvious scratch on it just a couple months after I pulled off its InvisibleShield.
InvisibleShield was the first thing I ordered for my GS2.

Misconception #1: Gorilla Glass is resistant to scratches--not invincible.
I developed many light surface scratches already just being in my work pants. No drops and always in its own pocket-not mixed in with anything else.
Iphone also scratched. And so did many of my other devices with GG.
And sorry to be prude but why in the world would you even put those types of screen protector to DEGRADE your screen? Great protection, but kills the slickness and radiance of your screen.

Well, the first one looks terrible casue I installed it in correctly. The second one I installed came out loads better. I feel a slight increase in fiction, but the view is still very good. What screen protector would you recommend for my phone?
Don't Buy Skinomi
So here's my story with this company.
I purchased the Skinomi screen protector for my GS2.
I got it, everything seemed intact, but I noticed they had placed the sticky side to the white card board, but nothing over the front side of the protector.
WELL what happened is during storage or transport or maybe just their crappy distribution company, they front part of the protector bound/adhered to the plastic sleeve they placed it in, almost creating a ripple affect on the protector.. I installed it hoping it'd go away, it never did.
I contacted them, they sent me another one, same issue.
It maybe be a good product, but there ****ty distributing company screwed up on the packaging and ruins the product before the customer receives it.
I used a invisishield , my skinomi didn't seem to hold up as well. But it didn't look like that either.

Honestly, just a good ol fashion crystal clear screen protector. I've seen cheap crystal clear screen protectors withstand drops and scrapes with no scratches. (the video showing its capability to withstand knife cuts is impressive, but unless you're using your phone as a shield that scenario is never going to happen)
Bottom line is that both will protect your screen from scratches but neither will protect it from cracks... so it all boils down to preference

it's only $18 on overstock.
Even though it is more expensive, I prefer and would purchase the Seidio kickstand case over this one (looks more professional IMO). Truth be told though, neither of them are suitable for me. I don't understand why all these kickstand cases have this one giant cutout in the back of the case for the entire camera module instead of just smaller, precise cutouts for the cameras and flash like some of the TPU cases (the smaller cutouts provide way more protection for the phone IMO). First manufacturer to make a case with a kickstand and just precise cutouts for the cameras/flash (instead of just one large cutout) will get my business (though I have a feeling I will be waiting a while for that). Until then, I will continue to use my case from tpu-cases.com, which with the exception of the lack of a kickstand, offers the best value and a good balance between protection and not adding too much bulk (at least IMO).
watch the video full screen hd. I think this's the best quality kickstand case out there IMO. why would you need a small cutouts for camera and ect? it's got G glass back and front, I honestly can't understand what in the world you have to do with the phone to have it all rapt up.
I don't know why people think that just because a phone has gorilla glass that its going to stand up to everyday wear/tear/scratches. I've seen numerous threads where the screens of phones with gorilla glass get scratched up just by putting the phone in the same pocket with keys, change, etc. As to why I want the smaller cutouts, I think its only logical that a case that covers up more of the phone is going to offer better protection than a case that covers less. I'm very careful with my phone (gets dropped maybe once per year if that) so while gorilla glass is a step up from regular glass, its no substitute for a proper case. However, if someone doesn't mind using a case with that large cutout in the back, that's their choice, but its just not my personal preference.
I'll live with my purple Case Logic tri-way kickstand case (offered by sprint). Luckily I can pull off purple because I'm manly, lol.
I like that it is smooth, too, as that helps it slip in and out of my jeans pocket.

Because that is the point of gorilla glass. Gorilla glass has a hardness rating of 7, making it impossible for your keys to scratch it. Quartz/sand are about the only things that people can run into on a normal day that will scratch gorilla glass, I had an epic since launch day and now the EVO 3s and I've never gotten a single scratch on my gorilla glass screen. I've even tried to scratch it with my keys to show co workers that it is scratch proof

WRONG. From Corning's own site: "Gorilla Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use."
I've seen Gorilla Glass take a pounding and come out unscathed, but I've also seen it scratch easily and also completely shatter upon impact.

I fail to see where the quote from cornings sight says that I'm wrong. Look up gorilla glass test on YouTube and you will see that things like nails and keys won't scratch it. Also, if you drop a phone and lands a certain way is gonna shatter no matter what, I've seen phones fall from 4-6 feet and be fine and also seen a drop from less than a foot break the screen

When have I ever said it is scratch proof? I said it has a hardness rating of 7 so keys shouldn't be scratching gorilla glass, I'm sure if you are absolutely determined to **** the screen up, as you seem to be, then you can.

When did you say it was scratch proof? Why don't you read your first comment in this thread, and then my response to it, where I've quoted you. Now you're backpedaling. It might help to look at it on a regular browser, as I've bolded certain things in them. Just because I've scratched Gorilla Glass with keys, does not mean I'm bound and determined to do it. Stop making such absurd assumptions, it only serves to further discredit yourself. Just stop. I'm simply pointing out that you're spreading misinformation regarding Gorilla Glass.

They do? Looking at SeidioOnline.com for the EVO 3D, the only kickstand case they have is the Surface (with Kickstand), with which the kickstand only looks to support the phone in portrait and on the left side (with the camera button up, and the USB port down).
The only case I've seen that supports the EVO 3D in both landscape orientations is the Body Glove Vibe Slider Case, which is hard plastic and only available in god-awful pink.
Does anyone know where to get some decent quality and decent price screen protectors? The ones at AT&T and Best Buy are wayyyy overpriced.
I never liked screen protectors, but Naked Shield on ebay is about $2 per, and work very well.
The gorilla glass on these SGS phones are fantastic. I still have my Captivate that is now a year old and the glass cleans up like new. Never had a shield of any sort on it. It lived in my pocket unless I was using it. Now it lives in my wifes purse now that I have the GSII
No Need...
There really is no need for any type of screen protector at all! I started using them back with my Captivate for a short period of time. But after the viewing quality was just irritaing be and taking away from that Super AMOLED goodness I ripped it off and never looked back. I have never had an issue with not having one, no scratches or degridation of quality and even a better finger swipe response because there is nothing hindering it or causing that "Stickyness" that some sreen protectors have. So I would ditch the screen protector idea and you wont be sorry. Just keep a nice soft lint free cloth/towel nearby to wipe finger prints and face oils from calling and things will be nothing but beautiful for you! Trust me coming from the Infuse where screen is all that phone was for me...It was very manageable and just awesome!
Waiting for realook to make one for the At&t model. Pretty much unnoticeable and retains the glassy look and feel. Loved it on the Captivate.

Same here...Dumped screen protectors. I took key to the glass in the corner and could not scratch it so I figure with normal use and pocket change it should be fine. My captivate never had a single scratch on the glass. The edges may get a nick or two but its a phone not a work of art. Buy the time I pay for good cases and screen protectors I could sell the phone for $50-75 less than the going rate and still be way ahead in a year.
But "fear sells" and they get a lot of money for a clear piece of "special" plastic. Spend the money on an extra Samsung battery and desk charger....
i used a leftover inspire screen protector. it fits perfectly and flushed cuts off right below the earpiece.
BodyGuardz has come out with their screen protector. I'm not trying to blatantly peddle their product, but I honestly think its important. It really depends on how anal you are about scratches. I'm ok with them on the body/sides but not on the screen. I've used it on my iPhone 3gs and it is still in perfect condition. Also, I there wasnt any loss of quality on my 3gs (no comments for the S II yet).
Gorilla Glass will scratch. Its selling point is that it is less likely to break not that it prevents scratches.
With that said, I bought just a screen protector and not a full body skin.

Its really hard to tell from these pictures but this is the screen from my captivate. It may look like the glass is shattered but actually it is near flawless. Its the lcd that is damaged. The only scratches on the glass are on the top of the screen(the little white lines).
This phone was kinda my test dummy for a handlebar holder on my motorcycle. The first time i dropped it on my bike it fell out of my pocket on the highway at night about 100mph. I felt it fall out but couldnt find it at night. Went back the next day and found the phone and the battery not the back cover. Put the battery in and it turned right on...it rained quite a bit that morning too. The screen was still flawless.
The second time i had the phone in the handlebar holder vertically recording a ride. It fell out after coming down from a small wheelie at maybe 80. I turned around searched for a minute and found it...it was still recording. I have the video. Screen still flawless. This fall was the only time i had a rubber case on. Thats why batt didnt fall out
The last fall was on a highway again at night...i love night rides. I was flying at about 140ish and i felt the phone hit me after falling from the holder i tried to save it to no avail. Looked forever. Went back the next day walked the side and found all the seperate pieces(batt,phone,cover). This time the lcd was broke from the fall. But as you can see the gorilla glass is still like perfect. The few tiny scratches at the top came from this fall...whoopdie doo. The phone still works i was able to use another captivate and simultaneously do the steps to get my busted one in recovery and mount usb to get my info.
Long story short samsung phones frickin rule and so does gorilla glass. I didnt mention the times of other random falls and even throws from frustration and also working construction. I will be buying a new digitalizer for the cappy sometime and keeping that bad boy as a worthy backup.
Am i putting a screen protector on this slick beautiful screen of the sgs2...i think not!

No clue on the quality but it should be one of the best. Seems like most of their products are "premium" price. I only used their trackguard/palmguard and keyboard guard for my MacBook Air, other than that I haven't tried their screen protectors.

I went with the "UltraTough Clear ScreenGuardz (Wet Apply)." I'm not sure how the dry vs. wet will turn out, but I'm more used to the wet application.
I believe the first two are more for visual and acetic appeal as opposed to shear protection. The last two should provide the best level of protection.
If you do worse than this to your screen you may need a screen "protector".....

I don't want to start a war, but read this comment from that last video:
"Actually, you never see the tests for Gorilla glass using concrete. Concrete and substances made of a harder material that Gorilla Glass will scratch it, however metal things (like keys) won't. So sand, concrete, tarmac, flint and so on will scratch it, this isn't a dumy phone."
I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it sounds plausible. At the end of the day I would rather use protection that I know (or believe strongly) will work. But I have to agree that Zagg is clearly trying to sell you their product by putting it through a little bit more extreme situation. And the Engadget one is just crazy.

I had one on my captivate for a year. did the trick. I do contractor work and dj at night so screen protectors are in order. Mine should be here thursday.
I like the moshi iVisor AG one that the at&t store has because it covers up the ugly at&t logo. Pretty pricey though...

No it is less likely to scratch as well. That doesn't mean you CAN'T scratch it, but it resists normal usage scratches as well as keys and change in your pocket. You can't compare a Iphone screen to GG. I've yet to see a Iphone screen that hasn't been scratched up from just daily fingertip use. I can see where people are use to using them in the past so they just keep it going. Technology is a wonderful thing and GG is definitely a fantastic technology upgrade.

That comment is just plain stupid. Not yours but the one you quoted. That's like saying a grinder will scratch it and a diamond will if you push hard enough and try really hard. Who in their right mind would purposely rub their phone on concrete or a flint. Dropping your phone on a concrete road isn't a problem. Been there, done that. Skipping it across a parking lot, like a rock in water might. This isn't a black box from a airplane, it's a phone. If you dropped your phone on concrete hard enough to scratch GG, i'm sure it would tear through any protector you can buy and scratch it anyway.
To each his own but this screen if FAR better and scratch resistant than anything currently on the market and massively better than any of the Iphone screens to date.
So tomorrow i'm getting my Lumia, and i was wondering if it was possible to apply a genric screen protector on it while i wait for the specific one i ordered. Do they actually stick on this particular curved glass screen? What should i use for the moment? I don't wanna end with this bad boy scratched in just a couple days...
Even since my Blackberry days, I have always used screen protectors. This phone represents a big departure for me from that..
I have a belt carrying case or I'll carry the phone in a sort or jacket pocket after making sure nothing else is there.
Carrying in pants pocket is out of the question..
To me the glass and the coating are part of the design of the phone and in this case the shape and texture of the naked screen is what really makes this phone stand head and shoulders above iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or any other higher end peers.
In my opinion, adding any protector in addition to
the silicone case Nokia provides would really take that advantage away and dumb the phone down..
Yeah i feel that too, but you know i'm an offroad rider and the place i live also has some quite sandy ground...i've always managed to scratch every surface i was carrying with me, even the sapphire cristal of my good old Sector watch, so i'll be always too scared to carry a phone naked, especially if it's so damn beautiful...i'm a dangerous man i guess
I bought a Nillkin screen protector and even though it works really well, the cutting is only till the border of the actual screen. It does not go till the edge where the polycarbonate body begins.
So conclusion is that it sucks. I will be interested in any other screen protector anybody has tried which can reach till all the four edges of the screen.

Use those flexible protectors like Invisishield/BestSkinsEver etc. You can stretch it while applying.
Is a screen protector needed? This phone is fitted with gorrilla glass...
i have to admit my screen gets immensely greasy - i don't think it has any kind of anti smudge coating on it. at least mine didn't - i haven't seen anybody else's one.
Every screen irrespective of it being a Gorilla or Chimpanzee needs a protector. If you have sensitive eyes you can make out minute microscopic scratches that form in an arranged fashion after 2months of use. I hate it.
I am still looking to see if there is any protector out there that can fit edge to edge. Shucks with all the technology out there people cant make a thin plastic sheet that fits a curved screen ??
Skinomi's protections cover the whole screen. I purchased one, and quite happy about it. Fits perfectly egde to edge. It's not a rigid plastic protection like the cheap chinese ones, it is flexible and bends naturally on the curve.
You can find it on Skinomi's website, thought I think it is cheaper on amazon (like $6 or $7).
Don't worry about the picture you may find (which is one of an N9 screen protection) there is only one hole for the sensor on the actual protection.
Happy to answser any questions...

Hey thanks for that tip. Is it possible even with the any camera you have to take a small pic of your phone with that protector and post it here. That will be the decisive pic for this topic.
Best shot I could get. It is almost invisible anyway.

About the installation, the protection comes with a spray. It feels a little weird to spray your phone with this solution but I found the application actually easier than with the usual "dry" protections.
Note that it will probably be scary ugly after the installation (microbubbles, haze...) but it gets better after a few hours (12 to 20 in my case) and perfect after a few days.
Honestly i wouldn't go generic, you get what you payed for. Trust me i've learned the hard way haha

Fantastic. It is truly invisible and sits neatly edge to edge. I could only make it out from the hole given for the sensor. Good job and thanks a lot. I am ordering one now from eBay.

Thanks Buddy for the screenshot, just ordered one from the U.S., the UK seems to have some cacky ones, currently I am using this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360428462851
Not a full screen protector either and I paid more...-_-
I don't like screen protectors. Never use them.
Besides this phone has gorilla glass. I have not even managed to scratch my other previous phones without gorilla glass after months of use. I rather take the risk of getting a little scratch rather than take away the nice touch feel of the screen.

Then you must not have exposed it to sand. I have managed to scratch almost all the screens I have had on cell phones without a screen protector even if they were made out of gorilla glass. Sand is the enemy to every screen. Metal, like keys or knives, are softer that the glass but sand (or some particles of sand) are not.
I just bought some cheap chinese screen protector (dry application) and it looked horrible. Had it on for 5 minutes and then ripped it off. Have to find a good soft wet application protector now, hopefully before I manage to scratch that thing of beauty.
I've heard good reviews of the Skinomi ones, so I may go for one of those. Does anybody know if the full body (transparent) version has something to cover the super-scratch-prone chrome around the camera? If you know about any screen protector with that feature please let me know, otherwise I'll order the screen only version and use some (custom?) workaround for the chrome thing...
Thinking about getting this:

I did order a couple for my Omnia a few weeks ago, but unluckily they came faulty, with pretty irregular cut borders and a nasty white drop of some kind of glue in the middle. They were totally unusable. I wanted to send them back for a replacement, but a couple days later I've lost my Omnia at a concert...oh well
I thought these phones where supposed to have gorilla glass. I just got my phone Sunday and have been very careful not to scratch the screen. I.e., only putting it in my pocket with nothing else in it etc etc. I haven't installed a screen protector yet because i wanted to be sure i was keeping it but last night i discover a hairline scratch about an inch long right in the middle of the screen *WTF!* any body else having any scratch issues?

Any change you had any in your pocket? Just a single grain of quartz crystal (incredibly common in sand and dirt) has no problem scratching glass, even GG. If you're near sand or even have dirt on your hands, a screen protector is a must have.
Sent from my phone. Prepare for atrocious Swype typos.
Gorilla glass is very scratch resistant to some things and can be easily scratched by other things like sand. Also, there can be inferior quality gorilla glass produced at times. My Transformer Prime scratched easier then plexiglass when I first got it, and was able to get it replaced under warranty. It had hundreds of scratches on it from just using the cleaning cloth. Now after 5 months of use I still haven't been able to scratch it yet, and I am much less careful with it now.

It must have happened while i was at work but just hadn't noticed it until i looked at it at night. Oh well, I've got some ghost armour on it now and unless you look for it is not noticeable.

A buddy of mine had an S2 and he was super rough with it and never got a scratch on the screen. I have the S3 and he just got one, and so far no issues.
As other said, some things are more abrasive, I tend to have keys and a security card/clip in my pockets and swap phone in pockets back and forth and no issues so far.
I make sure there is nothing in my pocket at all. I must have had a piece of dirt or sand on my finger while i was at work.

With my S2 I had no issues and I never played attention to what I had in my pocket. I just got a S3 no issues so far

Here's my Captivate after 22 months without a screen protector. Only a single tiny scratch on it visible from one angle, and it's recent, now that I let my toddler use my old phone all the time now I've got my S3.
Not taking chances this time, though. Got a $0.99 Skinomi (wet application) on my S3, but I don't like the feel of it or that my TPU case cause it to peel up on the edges, so I'll be replacing it with the new Spigen Curved Crystal (dry), when it's finally available at amazon.
Took some pictures of my old Captivate to try and showcase the few scratches on it (for a possible Ebay sale):

I dropped my phone three days after getting it - and got several long cracks in the screen - this NEVER happened with my EPIC 4G which I could throw around like it was brick and it wouldn't crack -scratch or whatever -
Yes - I had insurance - but I was shocked to find the TMOBILE Replacement experice for damaged phones was absolutely HORRIBLE - they didn't even have a replacement phone in stock for me - I understand it's a new phone - but they didn't even try to help - just said - tough luck - we'll let you know when we get a replacement in - When I was with Sprint that NEVER happened - break a phone and it was replaced as soon as I walked in and explained what happened
Sorry - I digress from the original thought of this thread - Gorrilla Glass - Sadly it seems to be a very weak gorrilla - GREAT PHONE - just be very careful with the glass

I was looking at those screen protectors on ebay today for $13.99.
Let me know how it works.
I saw another one that was cut right before it curves, right now I have a dry one, but the edges won't stick. So ima order the curve ones or the smaller ones.

Technically, its Gorilla Glass 2.
I dragged my keys across my GSIII screen to to show my mom that she wouldn't need a screen protector on her Galaxy Nexus (also has Gorilla Glass). No scratches here!!

FYI - I have always used the ZAGG Screen protector - and for this phone they have an HD Version which is awesome. ONce installed - you can't tell it's there - feels as smooth as glass and comes with a lifetime warrenty - they are more expensive - but in my mind - well worth the expense.

Thanks, I've tried Zaggs, but I don't like any that you need a wet application. Certain angles you see like a orange peel or lines.
At least from what I've seen on my phone and my friends. If I can see that then it bugs me.
Do you see that on yours?
I think I'm going to order these http://www.ebay.com/itm/280886599063?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
The ones with the curves don't seem like they are going to work for me.

No issue or problem with my display.
I had zag on my vibrant but after a while i just didn't like the look and orange peel feeling so i uninstalled it and went with ghost armour from one of those mall kiosks. I like the feel better than the zagg but I haven't seen the HD version yet. I'll have to look into those even though I have a lifetime warranty minus a $5 charge for installation for what i have now but i really like the smooth feeling of my finger sliding directly on the glass.

@mocsab LOLOL they wouldnt replace it because YOU dropped your phone. No company would just flat out gift you another one, especially with such a sought after device

For what its worth - ZAGG has a new dry version that doesn't require water - they go on easily and get the same lifetime guarantee - sounds like I am selling Zagg - don't mean to - but I do like the quality they offer. At the end of the day - they all are not that different from each other - get one you like - I am sure it will be fine.

FWIW the Gnex doesn't have gorilla glass.

Gorilla Glass 2... More resistant to scratching, but easier to shatter. So, I'm not sure the logic behind this decision with Samsung. It seems that people have more problems with screen shattering than scratching.
But, I say with Gorilla Glass, ditch the screen protectors and snatch up cases to help prevent shattering.
So have any of u guys scratched your screen any? Been using a screen protector which is scratched to ****.. been thinking about taking it off cause it messes with the registry of screen touches but I'm scared I'll scratch... how's is yalls holdin up

From my experience, you can scratch a gorrilla glass screen. Maybe not easily, but I have seen GG screens scratched. Just get a cheap screen protector as insurance.

I just noticed a couple of really small scratches on the gorilla 2 like two days ago. It was a very sad day. ): The front is flawless, though.

I hear the Zagg invisibleSHIELD HD is nice. I picked one up from Best Buy. Unfortunately, I tried installing it while on an extended business trip, and messed up the install. Now I'll have to wait to get back to the US to try again.
However, my screen is holding up well. In my pocket most days and not a single scratch on the front or back glass yet (knock on wood).

i just threw this ghost armor clear front and back a few hours before taking these pictures (bubbles showing on the back are supposed to disappear within the next 24-48 hours) and it seems pretty invisible. if you look at it from an angle, any light reflecting off the surface of the film does reveal a slight orange peel texture. now feeling almost as smooth as glass (and i can feel it getting better) and i can't detect any effect on the appearance of the screen (when the screen is on). I'm impressed as I was expecting some kind of distortion with the 318ppi screen.
Last time I bothered using a screen protector on glass was an iphone 3G and it was totally visible and taking away from the appearance of the 163ppi screen. that thing lasted me about a week before i tore it off and never considered using one again even after it was scratched by sand.
I think this film is good stuff.

I recommend it 110%!!!: I have 6 phones (yeah a bit much I know) but the HD InvisiShield is GREAT! I guarantee if you have a couple of fine scratches on it, you wont be able to see them after it is put on there. They are crystal clear too. I traded phones with an XDA I didn't know well and I got a phone with 5 pretty big scratches and one deep key scratch. I cant see any of them now
***** The key is to do what directions say and dont put a case on it for at least 24 hours. When I buy a new phone I immediately go to Best Buy and get one. It may be worth the $7 install if you haven't put them on before. Also when its first installed it will have some bubbles but if you dont mess with it I guarantee they disappear the next day. The difference between the original and HD one is night and day. It dries to a firm surface so it has a glass feel. Trust me on this one guys.
Edit...I installed it myself on my Optimus G and Galaxy Nexus but I screwed one up trying to put it on this big screen so pay the $7 at Best Buy. Actually you can get a bundle and get the HD InvisiShield and a case like the flip cover or Platinum case for $60. If you can find a case under $25.99 its both for $35. Or...you can grab 2 InvisiShields for the $35 bundle price:thumbup::thumbup:
Edit 2..even a grain of sand can scratch your screen. That's why sometimes people put their phone in their empty pocket and mysteriously end up with a tiny scratch

Sand is actually what you have to watch out for. Your keys and other metals that you typically are in contact with daily, not so much.

Nexus 4 glass front and back vs keys, coins, box cutter, wrench scratch test. I put my brand-spanking new Nexus 4 that was just delivered this morning to the test so that you dont have to.
The new Google / LG Nexus 4 has gorilla glass 2 on both front and back. So how scratch resistant is gorilla glass?
My conclusion:
Gorilla glass is much harder than any typical metal you will have laying around. Coins, keys and things you put in your pocket or purse is not going to scratch the glass.
The biggest thing to watch out for? Quartz/sand. Quartz is harder than Gorilla glass and therefore can scratch it (even if the scratches are super fine). Realistically, just like your eye glasses, you will scratch your phone more from cleaning it than using it. The type of cleaning cloth you use is important.
To clean my phone displays, I use the same inexpensive but effective tools that I use for my DSLR camera lenses. 1) a rocket air blower to get rid of tiny dirt, dust particles 2) lens tissue or a clean micro fiber cloth
In case you're interested here are links to the blower and micro fiber cloth I personally use.

I got the ZAGG hd one from best buy on mine and could not be happier...they cost a little more but the differance between it and the cheap ones is like night and day
Zagg Invisishield is Perfect
I always buy Zagg Invisishields for my phones with G.G. I have somehow managed to scratch my phones with just everyday use being thrown in and out my pocket. I dont put it in my pocket with keys or change or anything really my phone always has a dedicated pocket. But still i have managed big and little scratches on my phones. So I like to just keep a Zagg one on just to be sure, plus they will send u a replacement for any reason and they dont argue they just send a new one. The Zagg shield is the best quality and u can barely tell it is on there. Best 25 bucks (full Body) I have spent for this phone.
