i got a question for everyone here, my factory applied screen protector for my X10 is peeling off and im getting sick of seeing it looking like crap, and im on the verge of removing it, but im worried the glass on the screen will get scratched easily espeically when using it, when i had my old touch pro it got a hairline scratch just using it when i swipe on the screen and im fearing it might happen to my X10
will i experience any scratches(hairline etc.) very easily if i remove my protector? i usually have my phone in a carrying case on my belt
thanks

better get a new screen guard dude..!!
I think there is a reason why the screen protector is pre-installed.

Yes it will get scratched easily, I speak from my own (unpleasant) experience...
1 year without protector! not a single scratch.. I also put it in my pocket, not in any type of case.
Dude, just be safe and get a protector
Just get one of those anti-glare ones off eBay, works like a charm.
unless you go at the screen with something sharp (knife, screwdriver, etc) then you will not scratch it. I have had no screen protector on it for months, not a single mark. infact, it looked worse when there was a screen protector on it!!
also, remember there are 2 protectors on these phones. a lot of people remove the first one, then scratch the 2nd one and think they have scratched the glass
scratch free

+1 just hit a year with no screen protector, and still scratch free! winning!
I took of the original screen protector when i received the phone...but then I read about the second screen protector and i realised that i still had that one on as well.
It was getting scratched and was hard to clean so a couple of weeks ago i took it off..(very easily although some people find it hard, maybe because it seems stubborn to come off at first)
Well, since then I have NO scratches on my phone, even though i keep it in my posket with my keys and loose change...
Also, it cleans up a lot better from the fingerprints than the screen protector did.
the only reason I can think why SE put it on is if you crack the screen it keeps the tiny pieces together so it doesnt cut you, but that means you still have cracked screen...it doesnt protect your screen, just their bank balance if you sue them!!
Lets not forget that once removed it becomes sensitive to moisture.
"if this does effect you, find a thin high quality protector"
So shoot...my screen got cracked...bad. I had it in a case, inside of my padded laptop case, I took it out to read tonight, HUGE crack. I can't believe this has happened!
Has anybody had any luck with replacement glass for their gtab? I've read that some folks have been getting custom cut glass from their local glass store. Has anybody done this? What type of glass (thickness / type) is suggested.
I'd rather find an actual replacement glass, but am willing to try anything!
Thanks,
Pat
So am I just f*cked or what?! I would really like to try and get some glass custom cut. The glass is shattered so bad that once the bezel (sp?) is taken off it is going to fall completely apart!
Thanks in adavance to everyone!
Pat
As far as I know, it is not regular glass. It is touch screen glass. Call Viewsonic.
Possible solution
I posted about this a couple days ago. I had the same problem, hope it helps.

Gorilla glass and lcd are a glued single unit, i believe you have purchased the right part and it does have the gorilla glass attached.
You are safe
Yup. You are good to go. The glass comes with the LCD. I wont be too sure that its gorilla glass though. It scratches very easily.
Then again the original gorilla glass wasnt too shatter proof anyway.
I see a lot of posts regarding the unbreakable glass on anything that has the gorilla glass. I think the proper term is SCRATCH resistant, not unbreakable?
I think Corning needs to rework it so if you drop it on a corner, it won't shatter
I took the screen protector off of mine over 2 months ago and even as much as it is in and out of the pouch, in the car unprotected, not one scratch. The plastic around it? Now that is another matter
Yup all the screens I have purchased had the gorilla glass. You cannot buy it and if you could I do not see how you would install it.
I have been running withour screen protection and see no need to put anything on the glass.
I did have a screen protector cor months. I do not think it is needed.

Two Dell Streaks fell at the same time..
Actually guys,
My dad has a dell streak too but that one is with TPU soft case. Both of them fell from the same height. But mine as it was bare bodied, and might have fell on the sweet spot which broke the glass. The other one is scratchless. so now i understand the necessity of the rubber case, also it tends to slip without it from your hands which i have noticed it a couple of times. So lesson learned.. never get off a bigger phone from its layer (case).. Glad it is not an expensive loss though..
Thanks for all your inputs guys..

Buy a Otterbox Commuter or Defender case, the screen protector is crap, but the case itself is very good, should save you the price of buying a new screen. Does make the device quite big, but then its not a small phone.

These use a wet application process. Just a heads up. It's not as clear as other screen protectors.

Did it take you guys a long time to receive your screen protectors? I ordered one on the 14th and I still haven't received it yet. Starting to get a little worried.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I got mine within like 2 weeks I think. I haven't actually applied it yet though, I'm still debating if I want to put it on. When you guys get it, let me know how it feels and reacts.

Why do you need a screen protector for a phone that has Gorilla Glass on it?!? (in this case gorilla glass 2) I have never ever scratched a phone with gorilla glass, I dont use a case and I do put it in my pocket. (empty pocket of course) in my opinion if you put a case/screen protector you only take away from the great design of the phone.
Dude, some people lead busy and active lives that are hazardous to fragile things like glass. To condemn a huge portion of the population who like to keep their $600 toy from getting a knick in it or worse is pretty asinine.

Gorilla glass 2 is trash. If your expecting the same from it that you did the original your in for some heartbreak.
Captivate 2 years not a single scratch still flawless. G2 og scratched twice in first 2 weeks. Luckily my screen protector hides the scratches so I'm not pulling my hair out from ocd.
Stay away from XtremeGuard

These protectors are terrible. I bought three, and I had to throw all of them away due to complications while installing. If you manage to get it applied, you will end up with air bubbles or soap stuck under the protector. I have applied dozens of dry screen protectors over the years, and this was my first (and last attempt) at a wet application screen protector. The coupon price was still in effect last week, so I bought three of these protectors. They arrived today. I read the included instructions and watched two videos about how to apply them. While trying to apply one, there was soap stuck under the middle of the protector, and it would not come out, no matter how much flattening I attempted with the included hard plastic tool. In fact, the screen was easily scratched by flattening it out. I had to throw away that first one.
I used less soap for the second one, but there were air bubbles and soap was stuck under the protector again. I then tried to reuse this protector without soap, but it was simply too sticky to arrange properly. When I had finally gotten it in the right position, the air bubbles would simply not come out.
The third time, I used a different kind of soap. Same problems. Soap and air bubbles stuck under the screen. The screen protector scratches and deforms when attempting to get out the bubbles.
Again, I've applied many dry screens, so I am familiar with the trickiness of bubbles. I have overcome them many times. With these wet screen protectors, you simply cannot remove the bubbles, and you will deform the protector while attempting to remove bubbles. If for some reason you enjoy throwing away money and time and wish to install this protector, first cover up the phone's ear speaker. A lot of water and soap seeped in while attempting to install these things.
Thanks, Just ordered one!
Anyone know of cheap back protectors?
So I have a screen protector, spiegel case and a leather belt holster for my baby. I work in IT and somehow today managed to crack the screen. Didn't even have it out of the holster. It's just a hairline crack but I am ocd lol and it makes me sick to look at it . Is there anybody who has replaced the digitizer and screen by thierselves, and if you did could you let me know if it was hard to do and where is the best place to get the parts? Would it be worth the money to just send it back to LG? Thanks in advance!
(Still crying over that crack :crying lol
Have you already pulled the screen protector off? Many times it is the protector that will crack, but the real screen will be fine. My glass screen protector has a micro crack in it right now. I just haven't replaced it yet.
My iCarez 0.2mm tempered glass screen protector on my V985 cracked in several places the first time I took it on an airline trip. I contacted iCarez a couple of weeks ago and they promptly promised to send me a replacement but never have, so far. I have the old broken one still on and it still works, though sometimes I can feel the cracks and that is disturbing...
If your screen is really cracked, usually there will be a dead area in the digitizer. I hope in your case its just the screen protector, because replacing this display is likely to be expensive and difficult.
