I can not believe my eyes when I see that I can actually see scratches on my screen. It only shows up when the screen is oily or fog up. When it is clean, they won't show even under direct light. That got to be some coating getting scratched. Can others provide some insights on that?

Check this video. It is possible to get scratch even if you got Gorilla glass.
(The Amaze is not gorilla glass but it is a reinforced glass that similar to Gorilla glass.)
It is better to have a cheap screen protector on the screen all the time.
yep, welcome to my world, I was being stupid and didn't get a cover for mine...My nexus one lasted for a year after I took off the screen cover with no scratches, I don't know what kind of glass HTC is using now, they say its fortified, it still doesn't mean scratch proof:
read this thread i made a while back.

we're not sure if amaze is gorilla glass or not, as gorilla says in their FAQ that they do not realease the information of all the phones that have gorilla glass on them...due to agreement between the sellers like HTC. It definitely is fortified glass of some sorts, but yea even gorilla glass gets scratched..
As someone who keeps a single phone for years, I never understood the mentality that says one should have a screen protector. Now hear me out: I understand that the screen protector is supposed to protect the screen from being scratched. If the purpose of not scratching the screen is purely aesthetic, then the screen protector is useless, if not so beyond useless that it becomes an aesthetic liability. Screen protectors are no where near as hard as the combination of glass and coatings that compose the screen itself. Across the useable life of the phone, the thin plastic of a screen protector is much more likely to accumulate scratches than the glass. And so in the end it comes to be that the people who are most concerned about preserving the aesthetics of a mint-condition phone have one that is shrouded by an ugly protective case and a screen protector covered in hundreds of scratches that would not otherwise register on the glass.
But more towards the original concern: whether or not the screen is Gorilla(TM) glass, a similar glass, regular glass, or even pure and impossibly cut diamond, the anti-fingerprint and -reflective coatings sitting atop would not benefit from their scratch-resistant properties. My screen also has this problem. It only shows up when there is significant oil or fingerprints on the screen. I find the latter much more annoying. So I constantly wipe the phone on my pants or sweater and it's back to normal.

I can scratch the "coating" with a new walmart bag. It is just annoying. I am sure htc is using gorilla glass. They used it in their other products. Doesn't make sense they will drop out from that.
I would use a TPU case on the phone because the naked phone is too slippery to hold. Scratches won't affect performance, but dropping it will render the phone non functional.

Point taken but sometimes deep scratches are not aesthetics, its just intrusive to your daily work, so you're better off getting a screen protector, than have a deep scratch in your screen that can cost you a couple of hundred bucks to fix
I had my Hero for about 2 years. I put a screen protector on it right away. After about a month the it looked abolutely terrible. It was marked and scratched and had bubbles. Ugly. I pulled the screen protector off and never put another one on. the screen was as nice the day I sold it as it was the day I bought it. I have no intention of putting a screen protector on my Amaze. The beauty of the screen is, after all, one of the reasons I chose this phone.

Don't make the same mistake I did...you will regret it. I though the same at first. I mean my other phones did fine without screen protectors, but seems like for some reason this screen scratches quick...I'm very careful with my phone and I was suprised to see a deep scratch on it, I had no Idea how!!! just letting you know...I made the same exact mistake and posted the same thing in the accessories section, stated why people were putting screen protectors on their phones, and how it wasn't necessary.

read post 16 and 18 made by me, i thought the same exact thing. even gorilla glass gets scratched , just spend 6 bucks get a boxwave one...at first I didn't like it, thought it was a bit sticky but after using it for a fewe days its smooth as the glass and you don't even notice it AT ALL NowI love it!!! It's exactly like the glass itself!!
Maybe you should mention that in the accessories thread, before people begin to think you still hate Boxwave and then they steer away from it.

Your last is a very good point. I made an oversight. Drop protection cases are useful.
Hi! so after 1 week with my s2 my gorilla glass has 2 big scratches.. I read something about "hiding" it with a screen protector. Is this really possible? If yes, suggest me one to buy!! Thanks!
Don't see how you think a piece of plastic would be able to "hide" scratches. Buy the tools and get to work: how to repair scratches on gorilla glass.
I'd suggest moving to this section.
Which is better for a screen protector? tempered glass or film screen protector. I think the Tempered glass is more better since it would better protect the screen from scratches and excessive pressure but i don't know if it would also protect the screen from small dust and sands , since i don't use a tempered glass yet and thinking on getting one, i don't know is there is space between the screen and the Tglass for dust and sands to enter. Anyone here using a tglass protector? does it have any enter points for dust and sand to enter?
Plenty of reviews in the accessories thread, not many favorable things said about tempered glass ones though
Hello, I'm looking to get the word out that the Zagg tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus 6 has a potential flaw at the moment.
I picked up the tempered glass zagg screen protector for my Nexus 6 from a Sprint store, but I noticed it looked like it was not sticking around the edges of the display after it was applied. When I went back to return it, I came to find out that the similar zagg protector for the Galaxy Note 4 had a similar flaw that needed an updated design to the screen protector. Something to do with curved glass on the display.
The sales representatives at the sprint store and zagg should know about this issue now, so hopefully this will get cleared up. I would certainly like to go with a properly designed tempered glass screen protector.
This has been mentioned all up and down in the "Tempered Glass" thread, where this post should have gone.
Yes, i realized that soon after and had already reported my post as redundent.
My mistake and I wont make any more replies here.

Are you going to get a Tempered Glass Screen Protector for your OnePlus 6T? Does it even need one?
If you are going to get a Tempered Glass Screen Protector, which one are you going to buy?
Yes, yes, Oneplus. Tried a lot of them, only the original is top(imho).
This thread may help:
Which Screen Protector Will You Be Getting For Your OnePlus 6T ?
Anyone else who has got a good TGP which doesn't block the screen, preferably full glue.
