How is everyone's screen holding up?
I've had mine for about a week and keep it in my pocket and its starting to get little tiny scratches on it.

Sand....
Pwns gorilla glass every time.
I've had mine since 11/21 and I've never had sand, keys or anything else in my pocket besides the phone and I also have some fine scratches on the screen. I thought the GG2 screen was supposed to be more resistant and could last more than a couple of weeks. Everyone in the accessory section keeps going on and on about not needing a screen protector because of the GG2 screen but I'm definitely going to get one now before it gets worse.
Also the matte finish is coming off the USB door cover from me trying to open it with my nail so I am wondering how long the rest of the finish on the backside will last before it starts flaking off

Lets be very clear, it takes something with a mohs rating as high or higher than GG to scratch it.
The glass itself is around 7. With the coating it bumps it to 9. I can tell you, it will take something with a very high mohs rating to scratch it. Not keys, not change. Dirt however contains sand. Sand is stupidly common almost everywhere, even if you don't see it. My wedding band will scratch it, being tungsten carbide. A diamond ring can scratch it.
Etc. Etc.
If you scratched it, it i because you exposed it to a high mohs rating material. Wind carries dirt with sand in it too. Sand is by far the most common thing to scratch smartphones.
Even sapphire glass can be scratched by sand, a key component of dirt.
Why does it matter? It's not like those tiny scratches affect you when the screen is on. You probably can only detect them when the screen is off and you put light in top of the phone and look at it from a certain angle.
I've had it since release day, no scratches at all yet. I try to be very careful with my phone since I don't use a screen protector. I anticipate some scratches though. In the last year of my Thunderbolt I took the screen protector off. Ended up with only 2 or 3 scratches and that was a less advanced glass.

I know right?
Most of the tiny scratches are at the top. I also noticed that this phone picks more up since the glass rounds over the edges (feels great tho).

I'm not saying it matters, I was just curious how the Gorilla Glass 2 was holding up for everyone. You're right tho, most of then you have to hold the phone just right in the light. I do have a couple that are more noticeable tho.

I think it matters because the only reason I noticed it was when I was looking at the phone when the screen was on. Who looks at the phone when the screen is off? I noticed it because I have a darker background and I thought I had lint on the screen until I realized it was a scratch. That one is noticeable and I have about 5 other ones that are like you described and not noticeable under normal conditions.
Considering I only had the phone for less than 2 weeks, I would assume that over a couple of months it will have even more noticeable scratches. No big deal since I can get a screen protector but with all of the marketing about GG2, I just thought it would last a little longer.
I have gotten a tiny a tiny scratch near my back button thanks to my Tungsten Carbide wedding ring. I had to change the way I pocket my phone. I now put it in screen toward my leg so when I reach in my hand slides down the back of the phone.
I have had mine since release without a case or screen protector and have zero scratches.

I use a belt case and after a year have 1 small scratch only seen if you tilt the phone just right.
I guess the moral of the story is, if you put your phone in the pocket of your skinny jeans, put a screen protector on it.

You can't fight chemistry. They make really hard glass. However, there tend to be things harder. If they end up making glass that is harder than sand, I can tell you right now that it will not be affordable for a very long time.

No scratches here, and just recently (yesterday) put a case, no screen protector.

Well, scratch resistant, anyway.
Point is, it's definitely not plastic, like some people are choosing to believe.
Just did the test myself. Here's the video.

No problem. I got tired of all the bullcrap flying around about it being 'hybrid plastic' or just plastic, so I decided to settle the score.
Though sadly I did drop it the other day and it nicked a metal part of my car on the long, long fall... and there's a itty bitty little nick in the screen now. I don't even notice it most of the time, and I sure as heck can't feel it, though. It's about half the size of a grain of a sand and about is deep. I can only see it in direct sunlight, thankfully. XD
I believe the proper name for this kind of screens is "scratch-resistant", not "proof". Nexus One has a similar screen, but it does get scratches eventually w/o a screen protector.
The Eris isn't really scratch resistant, or scratch proof..
I have plenty of scratches on my screen.. albeit a little hard to notice..but they're there.

I think it's scratch resistant when coins nor keys can scratch it, and a ton of pressure is needed for glass to scratch it.
I think ANY glass screen is scratch resistant. Especially coming from a plastic screen.
Dude, you are nuts! I'm glad you did it though. I have never liked screen protectors, but was always worried about scratches. By the way, you should put some kind of warning before the video plays, "not suitable for people with weak stomachs" or something like that.
That was a little nerve racking but thank you...
I wasn't very convinced with the youtube post, so i brought it upon myself to try it on a floor model at a bby. Not a scratch! (or cut)

A copycat AND a non-believer? IT'S THE STAKE FOR YOU!
I keep my eris in my toolbelt all day. It has about 7 scratches in it. got it the day it came out. definitely not scratch proof. absolutely scratch resistant. not to mention the screen protectors i got initially were useless. I could not seperate the protector from its backing and ended up bending every one I had.
I have that same case. I've have my Eris since day one. I have No scratches whatsoever. I've dropped my phone a few times, and carry it around in my pocket. Definitely a great phone.
I like how reading this thread there are adds for screen protectors at the top
Anyway, it's good to know that a knife and keys won't scratch the screen, now I won't worry as much about dumb stuff scuffing/scratching it up.
After watching the video I thought I would take off all the protective stuff I had on my Eris. Two days later I had it in my front shirt pocket with a pen and it turns out that the metal clip on the pen put a little scratch on the screen. You can only see it if the screen is off and you look at it at the right angle but whenever my fingernail hits it, I get angry with myself for taking the screen protector off.
i never had a screen protector on my phone, but i bought mine from a guy on craigslist who sent his old eris in for a "new" refurbished one before selling it. and the sucker looked brand new. i run with my phone in my pocket and it fell out one day on an asphalt track at the park. put a tiny ~2mm scratch on it and a little dot from sliding/skidding about 3 feet face down... not to shabby... i barely notice it...
I have a similar case and drop my phone a lot.... no issues. Had a screen protector on my origional Eris, but after having to relplace the phone, I never put a screen protector back on. Good to see its not so easy to scratch it.

Trying to decide if I should take my Realook off. Great protection but damn this thing get's so greasy. Really tired of constantly having to clean it.
In 5 months of owning this phone I've never dropped it even once. I also never put anything into my "phone pocket". I'm careful enough, but I don't want to get any mysterious fine scratches. Anyway, anyone rocking their phone without a SP? Any scratches at all?

I had one but I took it off immediately because the dude in the T-Mobile store had something get under it while he was puting it on, and you can only assume how annoying that is to look at.
But I really should be using one.
Bieng able to put the phone almost anywhere without worrying about scratching the screen is... just too nice, IMO.
I've had my Vibrant since the week before the official release. Never had a screen protector, though I carry the phone around in a belt pouch and not in my pockets. Phone and screen is still scratch free...YMMV

I kept the stock protection and just snipped the tab off the top. Then put on a casemate case. Seems to be the perfect combo for me.
You realize that now you are going to drop your phone.. sorry but its like a motorcycle. Its not if you wreck, but when and how bad will it be.
I've dropped my vibrant more than once and my son thinks this phone can bounce. They are solid enough to take a pretty decent level of abuse.

Never a protector from day one (release day). I keep it in my pocket but use the old G1 pouch. But also dropped it in my car between the seat, in the sofa at the house etc and no scratches at all. The rear cover has quite a bit of hair line scratches but the glass is clear.

Took mine off after a week. Carry it in my pocket with keys sometimes but I am extra careful.

Had the phone since launch and had a screen protector for about a month. Took it off and haven't had a screen scratch yet. Stays in my pocket typically by itself but the requisite drops behind couch, between car seat, etc have happened. The gorilla glass does an awesome job of keeping it from scratching due to normal wear and tear.
It does have gorilla glass right? Remember reading that somewhere...
Regardless, naked Vibe here, no scratches.
5 months now no screen protector. It has one very tiny (very very shallow) scratch near the bottom, from when I left my keys and the phone in the same pocket all day.
Screen protectors are nice, but I am extremely impressed as to how the display has held up so far. I'd say you dont need the protector, but keep keys or any sharp objects out of the same pocket as your phone.
Hadn't used a screen protector on mine since July with 0 scratches. Got out of the taxi a week ago and didn't realize my phone was on my lap. Phone flew screen down first into the street. Crack across the bottom and scratches at the top Placed my order for a realook screen protector the next day. Bad luck on my part, but it breaks my heart to see that crack so I'm not taking another chance.
Had the tmobile 2pack screen protector, but it made my screen look all glittery. Figured I got this phone for the awesome screen so I just go without one now. No scratches, and looks awesome still since July.
Had a Vibrant since day one. Been careful, but never had a screen protector and it looks perfect. I have had a few minor drops, and carry in pocket, with occasional company though I try my best to keep keys and coins away. Thought about it for awhile and then decided I had gone this long I would be fine... (now I jinxed myself with this post I am sure)
Thanks for the responses.
For the most part extremely positive results. Might very well give it a shot. I already have a T-mobile case on there which helps a bit so think I'll take my chances.
No screen protector since day one. Had two drops onto solid concrete from about five six feet only the chrome scratched. One day took a cat nap and didn't realize my phone fell to the floor when I got out of bed I stepped on it. Now I got a crack down the middle of the screen. Its just the glass though so I don't mind it much.

I had one from T-Mobile for a while and hated it. I finally decided that Gorilla Glass is hardcore and removed the screen protector. It's been fine with just a gel case. No scratches or dings. I'm also really careful with it though too.
Have had a screen protector and a case for a month. Not taking any chances, I know its gorilla glass, but I can be King Kong with my gadgets. I had an iPhone 2G that survived 3 years without any protection, but it was not a pretty sight.
No screen protection for me. I had a case but took that off. I did drop it once screen down into some dirt and have an annoying tiny chip on the screen but im dealing. And I bought a replacement battery cover that's rubberized and now I feel comfortable with no screen protection.

I still use one that came with it. I put it back on with water & credit card and it stuck on just fine lol. It's actually sticking so well i don't see it coming of anytime soon. Clipped off the top part so my case can go properly. Works fine.
Been running protector free since launch and I have a very small scratch towards the bottom from my tungsten ring. I' be done multiple lap flies and nothing yet but I'm starting to think it might be a good idea. At least get a gel case or something!

I tried the Reallook after all the rave reviews, and I admit it was nice at first.... but over time the appearance/finger prints/feel were just SO lacking copared to the feel/look of the gorilla glass.
I was a huge anti-SP person and am still that way even after my testing one out.
Hey this is tickling my OCD!!
I've been rocking my GS2 bare with no screen protector. Its only been in my jeans pocket / suit pocket, and i have a case for the back.
When i look at the screen, completely wiped and cleaned of fingerprints, under fluorescent light, I see a host of small scratches. Doesnt seem to be deep and can't see it when using the screen unless under serious glare from an overhead light source. But i've got small scratches everywhere! on the left, middle, going left, right up down. Are these in the olephobic coating? I guess stuff just gets stuck between my finger and the screen, dust and such, or maybe small dust particles in my pocket have caused this.
Its not a huge deal but definitely tickles the OCD bone and makes me regret not getting a screen protector.
Anyone else notice this? Clean your screen and look at it under a fluorescent light source at various angles. Do you have small scratches? Join the OCD camp!
I have one little scratch. I noticed it about a week ago. Same as you I have a back case and only put the phone in my jeans pocket... Im actually really annoyed by this seen as though it's meant to be 'gorilla glass'. My sgs1 went through a hell of a lot but never got a scratch... Thought this was meant to be better. Obviously not!
Sent from my GT-I9100
Same unfortunately. I have two really light scratches which can only be seen at the specific angle and light, however I don't notice it at all when looking straight at the device or with the screen on.
Same as you, it tickles the hell out of my OCD bone, but I would still but rather use the phone as it is, rather than pad it out with a case or ruin the experience with a screen protector, that is what I tell myself to calm my OCD Haha.
Yea I had two three scratches on my first sgs2, my OCD kicked in and I couldn't take it any longer and went to o2 to get it replaced.
The new one I got I slapped a screen protector on straight away!

Okay this is weird. I had the SGS1 as-well and I NEVER used a case or screen protector (screen protectors are ugly, even invisible shield), I was quite rough with the phone as-well and never got a single scratch on the screen.
Now with my current phone I somehow scratched it quite bad on the first day and now a few weeks later another heavier scratch has appeared. I actually work in a phone shop so it just stays in my suit pocket...
Something clearly isn't right here...
Yeah it seems to scratch easier than my old Legend, I guess it's the coating. My scratches aren't visible when using the phone, but I'm using a screen protector nonetheless.

If you're worried about it, drop the $5 on a screen protector. Couldn't hurt...
For the time i spent without a screen protector on mine i did not scratch at all. I'd stick it in my jeans with other stuff, and not a scratch. BUT, some how for some reason my brother in law ALWAYS finds a way to scratch his screen, in the first couple of days he had his thunderbolt he got a long 3 1/2" scratch on it. Same thing happend on his rezound, and when he returned the rezound and got a razr he also managed to scratch it within the first week.
If you take care of your devices you should have not problem, I dont think he takes care of his very well because he always seems to scratch his phone, its insane, my 4 year old vouge is still flawless.

Never used a screen protector on mine and dont have any scratches. In and out of jean pocket all the time. Sometimes, by accident, find a pair of plyers in the same pocket. Dropped it many times, with tpu case and still no scratches. Who needs them!
Coming from a Bionic, with the Gorilla Glass screen, I would say it scratches relatively easily. I have a couple little nicks on my screen, just recently picked up a Halo protector and I'm pretty happy with it. YMMV.
oddly, i've "accidentally" dropped this phone at least a dozen times now(luckily with a case on) and don't have any scratches on the screen(no screen protector on it either).
i personally hate screen protectors. i don't care if they're cheapie ones or fancy invisible shields/ghost armors. i've tried them all before and don't like the look/feel of any of them.
Strange, I can't stand the phone without a screen protector. Too many fingerprints for me.... Also, the Verizon rep who I talked to when I went to get buy my phone had a rezound horribly covered in scratches. (to be fair, I saw her toss the phone into her purse so I'm sure a more careful user won't have quite as severe scratches.)

I would agree that coming from a Bionic, it "scratches" easily. But the scratches are only noticeable when held at certain angles in direct sunlight... In direct sunlight the damn thing isnt usable in direct sunlight anyway so not a big deal.
Got mine replaced after 3 weeks because of a small "pit" in the middle of the screen and a small scratch on the left side of the screen. Never had a screen protector on my Dinc and only got one scratch after a year and a half (sand at the beach).
Since the Rezound doesn't have Gorilla (it's only fault in my book) I use a screen protector and change it out every few months.
No scratches and mines naked I feel it scratches less than the dinc... My dinc had scratches

This is one thing I really had to give the bionic, that screen is truly resilient. I beat the piss out of that phone it the glass held up fine. The Tbolt on the other hand, not so much. I accidentally threw my keys in my pocket with my phone one day and it scratched the crap out of it.
I know it nothing scientific, but I do believe the bionic screen is tougher.
i never used screen protectors on my incredible, and that screen NEVER scratched.
i didn't use protector on my rezound for 2 months, and i got tiny hairline scratches everywhere, JUST from being in my pocket.
so yeah, the quality of this glass isn't as good as the inc
The Rezound is by far the easiest scratching phone I've owned. I came from previous phones with Gorilla Glass and never got one scratch on them. I always put my phone in a pocket by itself without coins/keys/etc. I lay it screen up on tables so that there is no risk of laying it on a pebble or something. I have a few pretty big scratches on the Rezound when I've owned other phones longer without the slightest mark.
The Rezound screen is VERY VERY easy to scratch. Its also easy to chip. My first one was dropped directly on its face from a short distance (like 6"!!!) onto the pavement, and there must have been a tiny little rock because it put a small little pit and some deep scratches into the glass.
I do not like screen protectors either, but I also want my phone to look new in a year. So I will deal with a screen protector on my new Rezound, cause as annoying as they are, its much nicer than looking at scrapes and scratches. Especially with such a nice screen behind it.
Agree. Keys scratch the Rezound screen pretty easily.
LOL, I just ordered my screen protectors today. I've gone over a week without any problems. As soon as I ordered, I now have two small scratches.
Yep, got mine two days after release and before I could get the invisible shield ordered and put on I had a couple little scratches on it. I'm super anal about my phone too. Never ran a protector on the Incredible, but the Rezound DEFINITELY has to have one.
i know this phone has gorilla glass 2. But i read a few story of people getting scratches like nothing. Would like to know if anyone here is getting scratches and how
Not me but I use a screen protector. Best $10 I ever spent on my phone! Well any phone for that matter.
Yep I have scratches. Not quite sure how it happened. Thinking it was when I had it in my pocket one day.

I just picked some up from ATT until my Otterbox case comes in. I think it was a "Moshi" or something like that. I got it heavily discounted from the corp store. And to be honest its a pretty nice screen protector so far! Easy to apply and take off to clean.
What about you? I hear good things about SGP. Easy on the wallet and great quality.
I haven't received my gs3 yet but I have had the Droid since the day it came out and I keep it in my pocket with my keys and everything. It has very small scratches but nothing that you can see with the screen on.
I can't imagine the GS3 being any less scratch resistant.
No scratches at all. Always put it in my pocket and no screen protector. Had my SGS2 for 8 months without getting any scratches on the screen without a screen protector.
I got a pretty deep scratch right in the middle of mine... I think from a piece of sand or grit or something. I dropped the phone from like 2 feet, it slid off the couch onto the hardwood floor before I got my case and screen protector I was pretty upset, especially after seeing these videos of people going at it with knives and screwdrivers and whatnot with zero damage. Had my nexus one for like 2.5 years no scratches on the glass...
I keep mine in my pocket all day no scratches yet. Don't like screen protectors they make the screen look crappy

No scratches here, either. My previous phone was a Moto Photon (first gen Gorilla Glass). No scratches after a year of pocket carry.
I never use cases or screen protectors. I like the naked feel of a phone.
Yah I got a scratch already. My bad. Only notice it when the screen is off. No worries.

I have a couple of little micro scratches that can only be seen if the light hits the screen at the right angle. No big deal at all. I hate screen protectors.
Yup, went in at about 10 am today, finally left around 10:45 with my new phone and it had light small hairline scratches on the side of the phone. I hadn't even touched it other than to login and download a few apps. My hands were clean and I didn't put it in my pocket, as I walked outside I noticed the scratches because of the daylight glaring on it.
I took it back and they exchanged it for me.
I am on the no screen protector and no scratches bandwagon.
Release day gs3.
Also release day gs2 that didn't every have a screen protector and no scratches.
And I do not baby the phone.
I don't baby my phone either but managed to get a scratch on the very first day. All I can remember doing was holding several phones together walking in from my truck and it got a scratch from some sand on the back of one case that was up against the S3 screen. Way too easy if you ask me. I took my original Zagg off of my nexus and put it on the S3. Can't see it now though.

I got it on release day for sprint, about 2 days ago my girlfriend borrowed it quickly to make a call while I had it out playing with it, she handed it back and I saw a smudge. Turned out the smudge was a little cluster of 5 light scratches, tiny though.
Earrings are the devil. It's not even like they were diamonds or anything super expensive, just cheap daily wearers.
I was a little bummed immediately (hid it well though to not make her feel bad, lol) but really they are only noticeable if the screen is off and you're trying to look for them. Now it's officially mine
So yeah, guess I should of thought ahead but being that I don't wear earrings it never even occured to me in the moment. Still not going to grab a screen protector, I'm sure with how I abuse my phone in 8 months or so I'll end up having to get an insurance replacement anyway lol.
Nope, had a screen protector on it since day 1
I dont have any scratches. I kept the in-box screen cover for almost a week until Realook started shipping their dry-type protectors. Now I got them and I can recommend to anyone. No change to screen quality and tocuh feel. Had Realook on my Vibrant for 2 years and served well.
