Why would you even post this and wait for a reply?! U can get the answer in less than a minute if you use a bit of common sense....

Just because it's made out of gorillas, and doesn't mean it's not scratch proof. It's actually pretty bad if you ask me, and I've already got a ton kf scratches (not that I care though really)
Get a 1$ screen protector and 10$ case for your 600$ smartphone and you should be fine :fingers-crossed:

What's your honest opinion of this phone? Should I wait for something coming up? Also looking at LG Nitro HD... Thoughts?

Its a good all rounded fone. Its up to you does it fit your needs?
Which ever fone you do get will be surpassed by something better why keep up with the Jones..
I say go into a store and try out the handsets you have in mind and go from there...
As of now, buy one. By April or so, I'd say wait for the SGS3

The only con I've seen so far with this phone is that it doesn't have gorilla glass. Anything else? I see some good devs.

I'm pretty sure it does have gorilla glass.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I think it is advertised as having gorilla glass. It is sturdy that's for sure. You can check some youtube videos on sgs2 drop tests.
After more than half a year in the market, I don't think there is any phone that can match the SGS2 and with a healthy modding community, it really is the phone to get if you are looking for one now.

Judging from the signature, I believe you got the S2 Sky Rocket, not the international Galaxy S2

After having my new phone less than 10 minutes I managed to drop it and the outer screen is smashed cracked. Is there any where someone can recommend that sell spares? The phone still functions but I need it fixed

Yeah it's gonna cost you about $260 for a new screen and even more if you paying someone to fit it.

I the best price i have seen for a Screen without the bumper is 249 300+ with the bumper around the screen.
its not really hard to change out either. Changing just the bumper is harder than changing just the screen, especially if the other screen is cracked and you are not trying to save it.
parts are out there though.
i have dropped mine 7 times now, and plan on throwing it against the wall here in about a month and getting square trade to give me another device, or the replacement cost.

Ha ha, well stupidity is one thing I just can't tolerate, if people choose not to educate themselves and instead insist in posting stupid stuff on xda I'm forced to say something. Stupidity is a choice!
But a straight up accident of this magnitude after only 10 mins of having the phone is no laughing matter, accidents happen and in this case I feel for the guy.

I have got the answer for you, this is what you must do,
1. Buy an S3 display + digitizer from ebay:
2. Follow this video tutorial:

Well, i finally dropped it. I wa sitting down and the phone was sitting in my pocket. (Small pockets+big phone, not a good idea). When i got up it slipped out of my pocket and rolled a bunch of times. Luckily, nothing happened to the screen bt the bezel is chipped pretty bad on 3/4 corners. Just wanna know, will samsung replace it? How much will it be? And is there any other alternate solution thats cheaper?
Thanks

Hey, really sorry to hear that!
Ok now i don't think samsung will do anything unless it's a mistake from their side. Still you can go and ask them and if they agree with to change the bezel then very good! I am pretty inexperienced about this thing but telling you from what I've heard and seen. If they don't agree then you might have to pay them to change the bezel.

Yeah im pretty sure they wont replace without a fee. Thanks for the reply!

Also, replacing the bezel might be expensive. I read that it's attached to the screen.

Yeah, that sucks
But honestly, i dont know why samsung used so much plastic on a premium device. The bezel couldve been made out of something much stronger. Look at the iphone 5, i know it lacks in software but i gotta give it to apple, they made it out of very strong and materials.

Have you not read all the bad reviews about the iPhone 5 chipping on the corners of the bezel? Just search Google

Hey guys,
I have the S3 now for about 3 weeks, and I'm realizing that I've got a big scratch on the display, you can just feel it with your finger nails, but I think it's about 1, 5mm deep, and on the side a few little scratches. Do you have scratches either? How can I remove them without investing much money? Thx for answers! )
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I do, but they're too small to notice. You can't remove them.
PS You have no idea what you're talking about when you say 1.5mm...That's HUGE
Then 0, 5mm
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
maybe, probably less.
So yeah, you can't remove them
You cannot remove them but you can prevent them. Invest 10$ and purchase a really good screen guard..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
A screen guard may well cover and hide your scratch .

cheapest anti glare mat one's on ebay. Just ordered 5 peaces for 2.60$ US.
Hey guys today I bought a Galaxy S3, but it has a small scratch on the screen. It does not annoy me that much, but it draws my attention to it quite often. Would a screen protector suffice to cover up the scratch and make it invisible? Any suggestions for a screen protector?
Thanks
