Hey guys this is well and truly a sad post
I've had my phone for nearly 3 weeks and on the second day I went out and bought a screen protector and a case for my phone as I wanted to keep it in prestine condition
Unfortunately, they didn't have back protectors. Which is the area that has scrathed the most !
They are light scratches except for one where you can feel it just slightly, and the others ( which there are a lot ) you can't.
I normally have a case on it but when I'm at home I take it out and let it be free aha
Have you guys got ant on yours?

I have a few on the back, but it is mostly in a wallet so not too bad. I believe that the back screen protector is east to replace?
I have a couple on the back too, but I don't really care. It's fairly easy to replace that one (or so I've read). No need to get sad

Yup. The glass itself is pretty scratch resistant, but I would put a new one on it. You know, just in case

I have always put a screen protector on the front and the back. I buy big ipad screen protector and cut them to size for foth size
I got glass in front and regular screen protector on the back of mine so that I still can use most cases without issues.

I thought the screens on the EVO 3D were Gorilla glass. I have 3 scratches in mine. This sucks. I am scared to try replacing it myself. This will be my second HTC boot unlocked i've sent back. What do I do?
It is gorilla glass. But its still glass... I have a 2mm long scratch in the center from a grain of sand...

Thanks, and in regards to the OP, if you really don't feel comfortable replacing the screen then don't.. If you've done similar repairs then go for it. Otherwise you'll just have to tough it out or try to get another exchange.

Yup Gorilla front.
Have zero scratches on the front but a few very, very minor ones on the camera glass.
For me, I put that on top of the shatterproof sheet.

You mean that you now have 2 screen protectors ?
I was under the impression that it came with a screen protector already applied?

Correct. Its not a "shatter proof" sheet but a factory installed screen protector. There's an extra screen protector included on some markets.

Is that so? I heard that almost every Sony (Ericsson) device comes with the pre-applied shatter proof sheet and it takes some force to remove it. I might be wrong anyway.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
So is it worth putting the included screen protector on top of the fitted one or is that just overkill?

No need, the one that is already applied is more than enough. Just keep it as a spare.
I dont think the screen responds as good if you put another on top
Ok thanks for the input on this, just going to stick with the factory fitted one

Got mine from O2, UK. All I had was a cloudy screen film with descriptions on. I had to remove it to see the screen properly and applied the provided screen protector, and have two irritating bubbles! Would be nicer if they were all fixed on from factory. Although looking back at it, it seems like there is another layer below that - visible on left side only mainly because the screen protector isn't in perfect alignment. Bottom layer seems like it's thin piece of glass rather that plastic.
Anyone has the same as me?
I put it onto the sheet, and it works quite fine. Double protection

Has anyone removed the factory fitted protector? I generally don't use protection (hurr) and think this one just attracts more muck than anything. I've never had a problem with scratching screens so I'm not convinced it's necessary in my case.
So if anyone has removed it, is it glass? Is it difficult to remove? Was it a terrible idea?

I pulled it off, it is not glass. It is more difficult to remove than a standard protector.

I bought a pretty expensive martin fields screen protector because I'm very scared to damage the display or ruin the quality with a cheap dealextreme screen protector.
Do you suggest I use the pre applied screen protector until there are scratches on it, pull it off with force and apply the martin fields on the glass or do i put on the martin fields screen protector straight on the pre applied one?
i heard that the pre applied one is not designed to be taken off... so i'm not really sure
Well I have. Don't know how but I have a quarter inch hairline scratch in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Just enough to piss me off.
My buddy made a good point, thought gorilla glass was scratch proof?

Gorilla glass is scratch "resistant" not scratch proof. Sand seems to scratch gorilla glass easily.

That's what I said. Haven't been around any sand and I'm pretty picky about what goes in my pockets. Phone is always by itself. Oh well, just ranting/venting. Lol. Anyone know of a good way to reduce a scratches visibility without a screen protector?

Just the back cover. Starts from headphone jack and goes about 3 inches dianglely. It's weird thought. It's compact at headphone jack and spreads apart to the end. Four scratches. Not sure how that happened. My screen protector is all scratched up. Def won't by these screen protectors again. Got at sprint. Don't remember the name but white package of 3. Advise don't get. Easily scratched

Screen protector and a few different cases on the way, until then I'm carrying this thing around like it's fine china, wrapped in a cleaning cloth whenever it's in my purse. lol
Unfortunately I just can't bring myself to use a screen protector. Never have. I did buy a case this time around. Gonna try again cause I don't like those either.

Use Zagg HD from bestbuy, it feels almost like glass to the touch.
Or try out SGP ultra clear protectors...also have the close to glass feel! You can't tell there's a screen protector, but your screen is definitely being protected! Great investment
Just got my SGP Ultra Clear Nano screen protectors in today, couldn't be happier with them.

Me either. Don't like protectors or cases. Had Gorilla glass on the S1&2 and didn't scratch them so I think I'll keep that tradition alive. Just stays by itself in the pocket. But with the gloss plastic on the S3, I opted for a Cruiserlite case.

My s3 screen is the perfect size for me feals like a mini tablet only problem is im worried it will break.
Now should i get an otterbox or anouther case to protect it?
I've been rocking with the cruzerlight TPU case for a while now and it does wonders. Doesn't make it too thick, adds grip, and is very protective, check it out

Grab an Otterbox Commuter or Urban Armor Gear which provide u max protection. Otterbox provide better protection while UAG have better looking.

Dont worry man.
Its gorilla glass... wont break so easily.
I already dropped mine a hundred times. It hasnt got even a scratch.
Still, if you want to protect it that much, use a screen protector and put a case around your phone that covers your phone a little from front. This way, even if your phone falls, your screen will not have direct contact with ground and it wont break.
Bump lol.

Idc what peiple say about gorrila glass its just more flexable glass tbh still breaks amd scratches very easily.

It's just a normal screen protector though, not the glued on affair like the front so is a lot easier to remove.

The reason I was asking is because I noticed a small hairline scratch on the back glass and I have had the phone for barely a week now. I was really surprised because I have never dropped the phone and made sure it was never placed in a pocket with other sharp objects. First I thought the glass had probably cracked but I couldn't figure out how it could've happened since it's in a protective case as well.
Got the same issue. If I remove the back screen protector, will it void warranty?

It may, or it may not. It's a lottery, and you won't know for sure until you have to get it fixed down the road. But it would be really stupid of Sony to deny you service if the motherboard is fried, but you removed a god damn shatter protector, so "no soup for you!"

Thanks for the info bud. I'm guessing the worse case scenario is that I'd have to repair for any damages myself.
