its important to use screen protector on s3 ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

They say that the screen of s3 is can't b scratched is this true ...? So do I have to use the screen protector

The screen on the S3 is solid. There's a video of someone playing Fruit Ninja with a real knife on YouTube... the screen stayed intact.

Read the do i need a screen protester posts in accessories .
Yes they can be scratched .

Ask yourself:
Would you whine and cry if you got a scratch on your screen?
If yes, then buy a screen protector.
If no, then go naked.
Me, I would definitely whine, so I bought a protector.

by the way, there is no 100% surface coverable screen protector available...
Due to the curve in the corners of the screen, full screen protector will not sit properely... so the edges (2mm) are not protected form the scraches...:crying:

Actually ZAGG Invisible Shield (It's on my Galaxy S3 at the moment) covers 99.9% of the phone. It's also a very durable screen protector that will last months.

Awww but they do scratch, and it would take something pretty hard to put a gouge in the screen but a knife, keys or any amount of things can easily put micro scratches in the Oleophobic coating and if you use in daylight it gets hard to see the screen.

I have a sp on mine. Just to be safe. I wish my shell would get here from amazon already! I've accumulated some scuff marks on the back cover somehow! greatest phone ever!

I got a scratch on mine just last night - no idea how, probably in my sleep, when the stupid LED light started flashing to tell me about an email, so I reached over and turned it face down. Not deep, and only 4/5mm long, but it's all I see now :crying:
How did my SGS2 screen go for 10 months without a *single* scratch, and this is a week old, and one already...

I have never used screen protectors. That is because, I don't need one, I take care of my phone(it hasn't fallen...yet xD).
I never wear the phone in the same pocket with coins, keys etc. No scratches on the phone at all.
Can't thank you enough in one day ( only 8 thanks per day ) .... thanks for replying to my every query..
Well screenguards are all a matter of personal preference. I ALWAYS have used and will be using screen guards. Mostly because the active has the strap that has an aluminium "lock"? on it, and it so happens to be going on the screen over and over again, resulting to scratching it. Even though the Active has Dragontrail glass, which is said to be much stronger than Gorrila, i just cant bare to see a single scratch on the screen

Nope, it is not gorilla glass. It is shatterproof mineral glass with (apparently) scratchproof layer. Apparently, not sure how scratchproof it is.
I do not have any scratches on my LWW, but it is because I take care of my phone. I haven't tested, if it really is scratchproof, neither am I going to test it.

How can scratches appear during playing games?
as long as they didn't say that the screen is 'scratch proof' i will always put screen guard
I have dropped my phone twice (accidentally of course) around 3ft high. No scratch so far, also it use to stay on my pocket together with coins and key. So far smooth screen and back cover. But since it easily caught smudge from frequent texting; I installed matted screen protector.

There is no special screenguard for this phone, buy a regular one, which is large enough and cut it to smaller, so it would fit the LWW.

Scratch resistant.. really?

It's only been a month since I bought my S3. I have 5-6 very tiny scratches on my screen which are easily visible in bright light. :crying:
It's like a group of scratches at the bottom center of my screen. I am still trying to figure out how I got them. I can assure you that I am not responsible for these scratches. :crying:
I have treated my phone with respect and yet it has developed these scratches. I have never dropped my phone. I have never kept it face-down on any surface.
The funny part is that the back cover on the Samsung Galaxy S3 sucks as well. Its got tiny scratches all over even though I have never ever kept the phone on any surface without keeping a micro-fiber cloth under the phone!
The only possible explanation for the scratches can be dust. Can I claim warranty on the phone since the screen is supposed to be scratch resistant?
I am super sad now

I am not allergic to either. The problem is that I ordered the TRIDEA ALIKE case on 8th June from ebay but there were some manufacturing problems and the case delivery got delayed. It should be here in a weeks time. There are no decent screen protectors available in the local market. The ones that are available on ebay will take 2 weeks to be delivered to my country. With the case still not delivered, I am still contemplating about ordering a screen protector online or waiting for it to hit the stores.

No one in their right senses would think of not putting a screen protector on a costly phone. Like I said, I was waiting for some screen protectors to hit the local markets since I already had a bad experience with shopping for a case online. I ordered it a month back and it's still not here.
I heard that the Galaxy s3 comes with an additional coating that repels oil. Could it be possible that I have only scratched this coating and not the actual glass. If yes, how can I tell the difference?

@phoenix
What makes you think I am stupid? I have had 2 phones with gorilla glass before I got my s3 and none of them got a single scratch on them ever. I started using a screen protector when my phones were a couple of months old since its human nature to not care much about old things.
I was waiting for a good screen protector to be available in the local stores because I only just got the phone and thought It was okay to wait for sometime before I get a screen protector. I had no idea the S3 screen was going to be this delicate.

1 SGS1, unscratched. 3 SGS2s, one with small scratch on screen and many chips in bezel, one with totally smashed screen (tram ran over it), one unscratched. 1 SGS3, tiny scratch on screen. 1 Lumia 800, unscratched (unused, to tell the truth).
I can barely see the scratch on the SGS3, it's ca. 3mm long, upper right of screen. And as said, since it was my fault for taking it to a beach, that's even less reason to beat myself up about it.
Screenguards seem to be the way forward for you. I just don't care enough - phone's for using, and I can't be bothered with the hassle of "babysitting" it instead of using it.
Resale value!

In fairness, mine hasn't lasted the last 3 days on the beach.. It was hidden in my bag but sand gets everywhere. A few small scratches, but so be it my phone is staying naked.

I got a deep scratch on my phone. What can I do?

I had a droid x that I had in my pocket with heavy knives, keys, coins, etc and only got those very small scratches where you could only see them if it was held in the light at the correct angle. I've had this phone for less than a week and it has a deep scratch that my fingernail can grab onto.
Should I attempt an exchange? I know it's ultimately my fault...but do I have options? I have insurance but I'm looking for a freebie or cheapie.
screen protectors are cheap but I hear time machines are pretty costly.

Something that can go through Gorilla Glass won't be stopped by a flimsy screen protector. It would have made no difference.
Not a lot you can do. Some people say putting a screen protector over a scratch can hide it some extent.
Replacing the screen on the cheap is out of the question. It's basically attatched to another part which means you have to replace two parts.

Of course a screen protector should have helped. Just a tiny bit of sand can ruin the screen completely. With a screen protector just it should have been wasted and not the screen

Same here, I take real care of my mobiles. My old i9000 doesn't even sport one scratch after two years while the i9300s screen is littered with them. Not really sure why though, but I think it might be the flip cover. (tiny bit of sand on it and bye bye screen)
Right now I am not too bothered with it, I'm going to get the screen replaced in two weeks.

I was wondering too if it was weaker on the SGS3 but probably not. I was hoping they had some sort of fix for scratches. I know clear nail polish will remove a scratch on glass albeit temporary. I may see how that works. It still baffles me though that 2 years and no scratches on the droid x and 3 days and I got a nice deep one on this newer phone. I guess I just had bad luck.
For the person who wrote about fraud...you're a douche. Verizon had no problem downgrading me from unlimited after I upgraded well before the expiration. I did get that back with a phone call, but they had no problem attempting fraud. If there was a known minor issue with the first release phones you bet I would try to work that into getting a new one and pretend as if the flaw was affecting my usage. I know that's a stretch but there are some smart people on this forum who can think of just about anything.

Your argument is that this should not be happening on gorilla glass, especially not on 3rd gen glass. It's a faulty glass, some of the white ones had bad gorilla glass and was easy scratched.i have never used a screen cover and never had a scratch (2 sgs,2 gs2 +1 gs3) over 2 year period.
and it should be replaced be the phone warrenty and not the insurance.
This is your argument,if they eat it or not that depends.
Do you think I could exchange my 16gb phone for a 32gb phone? Just say I want the bigger one. I'm still within the exchange dates correct?

After much hesitation, I finally got around to remove the pre installed film last night.
It is not easy to remove , but it is worth it. You get better touch sensitivity and clearer picture; and it feel so much better to touch actual glass than plastic!
Use a blade or a sharp object near the corners to lift the film up carefully without scratching anything else.Fingernails didn't do the job for me!
After you have lifted a good amount of the film, you can pull the rest by hand; but it doesn't come off easily and will leave some residue behind. Use a clean cloth to remove the residue. Voila!

I don't remember exactly the spec, but I am pretty sure it is scratch resistant glass but not the 'gorilla' brand.
I hate screen protectors and am okay with a few minor scratches as long as the don't interfere with the screen when its on.
Worst case, I got Sony Care if the screen gets really damaged and hopefully can get it replaced.
I expect the anti shatter film to be similar to the one in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GzYnDnZDRg
I'm keeping it on the tablet, at least for now.

Sir, you mentioned that you have already removed pre applied screen protector on your Xperia Arc S, so I was wondering is that this layer about half of millimeter smaller than the whole screen?

It's the layer which stands out a bit if you look from the side or feel it with your fingernail. I recommend something like a thumbtack or something else sharp to remove it but watch out not to damage your screen! The screen may be sticky after removing it. Just wash it with a wet cloth some times and after 1 or 2 days of usage it will be gone.

[Q] How easily does the ASF scratch?

I just got my Z Ultra GPE. I have the incipio dualshine case for it but the included screen protector is not very good and I ended up with a pretty poor application. I ordered a glass protector from Glass-M but it won't be here for a couple weeks. Do you guys think I can get by without a protector without scratches until the glass comes? I only really put it in my pocket. One edge of the protector I have didn't adhere properly and I'm afraid fuzz/dirt will get under and scratch it. Other option is to just use my S4 until I get the better protector.
I've had my Ultra since september and i don't have a single (noticeable) scratch on the front (i'm not using any additional protection). You'll be fine, but accidents happen, so it's not possibble to tell if yours will be scratch free in a few weeks. I do have a couple of scratches on the back though, but i couldn't care less.

@hamdogg mentioned an easy way to apply the protector, use water - added bones is the phone is waterproff
you should be able to remove and reapply the protector.
I've used mine since September with no case or added protection. Like @LordManhattan no scratches or wear at all. Dropped it a couple of times without issue.
Worth adding I dont use a stylus or pencil or anything other than fingers, pretty sure that would degrade the film pretty quick.

I can't see scratches on mine when I am using it. But turn of the screen and swing the phone side to side until the light hits it just right and I see all kinds of fine scratches. How easy is it to scratch? I'd say very easy. And it's not just fine scratches that plague this phone but also the fading of the oleophobic coating. You'll notice the part of the screen where you constantly touch gets rougher compared to the rest of the screen. In the end I'm just waiting for mine to scratch to the point where I will have to remove the ASF.

On mobile....
Ok thank you all for the feedback. I decided to just use it. If it's something that will scratch in 2 weeks of light use and no accidents I'd just assume return it.
Can anyone share how zu will look like if you remove the asf.....if the sony logo is not their.... It will be a little weird......

You are correct, the Sont logo will be gone on the front, but the Sony and Xperia logos on the back will still be there. Weird? There are several phones out there without any branding on the front (iPhone *cough*), so i can't see why it's weird, but you have your own opinion of course

Well it will be look premium if the logo can be seen on the front.....i put a cover on the back so people dont know what my phone model is.....sometimes people mistaken for Chinese model because no model and Chinese manufacturer often make cheap big phone.....my asf got scratch and i eager to take it off...but the remove of the logo and some people said that the screen is not that great to feel is what holding me back.....the aftermarket screen protector is not take full of the screen and their is a cut on the led and sensors..... Even for clear one...so i dont like it a little....i prefer not to use any at all but just the screen but what bad review of the glass....make me scared...... :-/

Really not sure what to think
I really dont know what to think of it i wanted to buy the z ultra (the normal one..not google play edition because i cant get it in germany)
and the only thing that holds me back is..i can live with a not so well camery..i only take a few photos but i wouldnt be able to live with a device that just takes every single little fingerprint and scratches easily some people say it scratches easily ..some dont i wouldnt use anything else then my fingers to operate it..and carry it safely in my handbag
is it acceptable or really that bad? else i will probably go with a note 3 or a nexus 5 + nexus 7..so i have a small device on the go and a nexus 7 for watching streams/videos at home
I've got some scratches in the middle of my screen from one mistake placement in the same pocket as my keys. Surprised since the screen is supposed to be fairly resilient, I'll be looking into a protector shortly.
that kinda scares me x.x even if i would never put the device next to my keys..it will be most likely in that power cas einside my handbag x.x

You didn't scratch the screen. You scratched the anti shatter film. It's still annoying though, so yeah, you should probably get a second protector, or just remove the ASF and go naked (it's glass after all, so it won't actually scratch unless you're really unlucky) or put the new third party protector on the glass. One protector is bad enough (how it feels to touch), so i can't imagine using two
