I have a screen protector on my phone and I accidentally had my phone and keys in my pocket and it made a small scratch through the screen protector on the phone. Does toothpaste work or is that an urban legend? Or should I try some of those Displex (or whatever it is called) products that take scratches off LCD screens (although I am not sure if it works well on touch screens), or if I need a replacement screen. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

If the scratches are fine, you can put a Zagg cover or similar vinyl-type cover on it. The soft vinyl fills in superficial scratches so well, you can't see them. If the scratches are deep & catches your fingernail, you probably have to replace the screen. I have seen the toothpaste trick used to buff car headlights, but I have no idea how well it works on a phone. If the scratches are deep & you're looking at replacing it anyway, you could try toothpaste since you really have nothing to lose. Good luck
The scratch is pretty small, my fingernail does not catch to it. What do you mean by Zagg cover? Like, one of their screen protectors or another product? I am going to a Verizon store to see if they might have any options or if they can to touch it up there, but I do not think they will be too much help so I look to XDA for advice, ha.

Go to Best Buy & ask for a Zagg screen shield. They should have it for Tbolt by now. They're a pain to install, so you might consider paying the extra $10 or so to have the rep install it for you. That way, if it's not to your liking they'll redo it for no extra charge (even if they must open another package). Vinyl screen covers are soft & pliable and fill in superficial scratches kinda like a thick liquid, unlike cheap stiff screen covers. I did this with a phone that had some very fine scratches & areas that had rubbed against a case or something, and it all disappeared with the Zagg cover.

Zagg screen protectors are great have used them on my last three phones . A little expensive but worth it (19.99 @ best buy) life time replacement and very hard to scratch. Not to hard to put on just like doing window tint. They are soft so they do occasionally stretch but keep the application kit and just rinse it off and reapply .

Hmm, I might try the Zagg option since it seems to be the best option - are there any other things I can try or look into?
Do not use scratch remover you can easily do more damage than the scratch on it now . I have seen friends use it only to mess up their screen more .

I see, I was worried because I know on LCD screens you can use scratch removers, but with touch screen phones I was afraid of if it would do more damage like you said. The more I look, I feel like I can sort of feel it slightly with my fingernail - it is one of those scratches that on a white screen you can see the multiple colors as you slowly turn the phone (hopefully I am describing this correctly because I normally stick at describing stuff). The screen protector is still on but I can tell this went through (my keys were in my pocket with my phone for like 3 seconds and when I realized this, I think in my panic to take the keys out so they wouldn't scratch the screen, I scratched the screen... Ugh, ha). Would that Zagg protector still be able to cover that sort of scratch?
You will proly still have some color distortion but it won't be as bad as what you see now. And a $20 vinyl screen cover is much cheaper than replacing the whole glass...unless you have a friend in the phone repair business.

Thanks for your help! I am going to go to the Verizon store within the next hour or so and ask their opinion, and then go over to Best Buy and look at the Zagg... Would something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Verizon-HTC-Thunderbolt-Digitizer-Engraving/dp/B004ULQH34 be something I could do myself and replace, or would I need a Verizon or other phone retailer to install it for me?

That is a new screen, not just a cover. You could install that yourself if you know what you're doing, but that means completely disassembling the phone & reassembling it. You might have a hard time finding a phone repair shop to do it, since you'd be asking them to use parts you bought online. Most places won't mess with parts bought from another retailer, and they are even more unlikely to warranty it. Verizon will definitely refuse to touch it. If you decide to replace the glass, just ask around for a good phone repair shop and pay them for everything (parts & labor) so you can get a warranty.
For me this is the best good looking case for HTC EVO 3D....

Yeah that is really nice looking but shipping and time is kinda lame. Looking for somewhere else to order this but cant seem to find anything in NA. If someone can find this i bet a lot of people would be interested...
all retailers for this particular case are located in China unfortunately. One of the other two offered a slightly cheaper price but you pay for shipping and it comes out to be about the same as the one from ebay in terms of shipping length and total price. The only difference is you can choose faster shipping but it costs more than the case itself which essentially is pointless. The other retailer sells them in bulk.

Looks very nice from pics
i'm a case whore so.........subscribed! please let us know how the case is.
Just got the case in, I'll post pictures later tonight but here are my initial views and opinions:
lightweight, plastic, sturdy. Feels good in hand, thin, not made of the greatest materials but for 6 bucks who can argue. The carbon fiber feel on the back seems all good and fine but thats really about it. Feels more like those skins you can buy online as well.
The cut outs of the case seem to be in all the right places not disturbing the functions of the phone. Although I noticed sliding the 2D to 3D button to be a bit troublesome (not a bad deal for me since I rarely use this), and the volume rocker seems like it needs to be pressed with the very tip of your fingers (this one can get somewhat annoying I can forsee).
This case covers the back well, also covering the camera (of course not covering the lenses, speaker, and LED flash). The case on the sides extend far enough so that the buttons that would usually protrude without a case are protected with this case on. The front however is not well protected, usually a case would somewhat add enough to the front as to not let the glass screen of the phone touch the object you set it on. The problem here is, apart from the screen, the front of the phone is in danger of being scratched.
What this case tries to add is style with a slim feature, although the case adds no added protection whatsoever from drops or aggressive scratches this case is more for people who just like to add a bit of zing to their phone. Another problem though is that this case has no felt or soft covering the inside of the case. The problem here is that if dirt, sand, or anything coarse gets in there it can cause scratches. To add to that also, the case is hard to take off (maybe its just me but I didn't want to force it off). I've had some cases scratch my phone when trying to remove them and I can see this case adding to that as well. I would rate this case a 5 out of 10. 5 for the style, design, and feel but a minus 5 due to the lack of protection, possible scratching, and annoyances of some parts of the case.
**This review is just MY personal opinion and should be taken as just that, an opinion. For 6 bucks you can't go wrong but at least now I have provided you with my own personal feedback to get your brain cells tingling.

Yeah no front protection whatsoever. Pretty much more for looks I'd say
I got one today and its exactly what fsalazar said. Nothing to add or correct. No front protection at all... However, I've noticed that pulling the case off is easier if you've done it a few times and (for me) the easiest way to get it off is by pulling (quite hard) at the bottom.

I noticed that when I use the spen on this protector I can see the traces on it. As a matter of fact I can still see today the traces from the first time I used the pen close to a month ago. Is anyone having the same problem with invisible shield? What screen protector are y'all using that is not having this problem and where you got it?
Thanks!
I was using a BodyGuardz (similar to the Zagg) and was seeing the same thing. That style just isn't made for a precise point pen like the note has.
I've switched over to an SGP Glass-t and could't be happier with the decision. There's a thread in the forum all about it - but it's basically a glass screen protector and after a short while using it - I wish I would have found them years ago.
i had one on mine (which has since been sold for a white one arriving tomorrow) and it does show traces, but only if you look at it from a serious angle with light reflecting off of it.
the zagg's are made to change shape, etc. which is one of the reasons why they are so durable.
i honestly didn't find any fault with the traces, as i had to truly look for them. a cursory glance wouldn't reveal their presence.
that said, i have ordered a glas.t to test it and see how i like it. i'm a huge fan of zagg and i cannot stand any other type of screen protector.
I hated the traces at first as well, but I only see them when the display is off and at an angle. It doesn't affect the function of the S-Pen or visibility at all. I wish it wasn't quite so "tacky" when drawing on it - I really hope it doesn't affect the durability of the pen's nub in the long run. But for me, protecting the display with something so durable and with a lifetime warranty (and free replacement and application through Best Buy) is worth it.

for reals. i love the feel *EXCEPT* when using the s-pen. i hope they release the HD and smudge-proof versions as they may help alleviate that (though i don't like either as much).
i've put on untold thousands of them in the past 3 years while working there :]

Here's what I'm using. Probably the best SP you can buy once you get over the price. There's no feel to it and it doesn't interfere with the S-Pen or touch.
Spigen SGP Ultra Crystal
Absolutely phenomenal.
Click HERE
I want to try the Glas SGP that modmyphone posted, but the "one shot deal" installation scared me. As well as I don't think my case will fit with.
If it protects my phone I won't care if it's $99, lol
I'm quite happy with the one I got from Ebay seller 'rdstore'. Clear as a bell and the pen doesn't leave any marks. Also, $1.49.
Any of the softwer type ones are going to do this. I just peeled off my ArmourSuit to send back for a new one (life time replacements) but dont know if i'll paply it since it'll just happen again. I love the wet type ones bc they are so easy to apply and zero bubbles. Plus I've grown to love the rubbery feel of them. I will continue to use them for the back of the phone as the rubber texture provides a grippy surface to prevent phone from sliding around, but will have to get one of the thinner nonremovable crappy ones as DrawSomething has left my screen saver looking horrid.
If/when you get the G3, will you put it in a case immediately?
I used to never use cases until I dropped and cracked my Note 2, so now I've always used cases. I didn't mind using one on the G2 since the back was a glossy, slippery plastic and I didn't care for it, but the G3 looks awesome and I'd hate to cover it up.

I always use a case to protect the phone. It actually increases the resell value as the phone seems like new after removal of case.
LG made a case for the G3 that enhances the use of QuickCircle™. QuickCircle is basically the use of widgets without turning the whole screen on which can save (very little) battery.
Since my description is horrible, here is a video of it posted by LG themselves:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVtZAPjOcBI
case, possibly a mophie if that 3000mAh can't handle the 4k too well, and if it does, then Incipio. I'm not a fan of otterboxes. Both because I don't ever wanna spend 100+ to repair a cracked anything: I like my phone DAPPER. Also for resell value as well. Thats how I buy new ones.
If I do end up getting a G3, I'll certainly get a case. If I were to guess, a case has saved my Nexus 4 at least twice.
I had seen in a background of one of the summary videos a Tridant stand with an array of different colors. Though Tridant does make pretty thick cases so I'll probably stay away from it. Definitely looking for something with a slim design. Probably get another Diztronic
I dont why I dont like the round back of the g3 amazing device and specs but the rounded back feels and looks bad in my point of view.

Would you be saying the same thing if you dropped it and cracked the screen? *knocks on wood* That you don't be I'm curious how many people would say the same once they drop it and have to buy new phones or get it repaired.
Me, I always get a case since I like to protect my investment and better to be safe than sorry. Plus, having a case has saved my phones in the past.

I hear you but I stopped using cases on my phone going back to the nexus one. I may get a ding or 2 here and there but, knock on wood, I've never cracked a screen. I do use screen protectors and most recently have fallen in love with tempered glass screen protectors.

I never use cases or screen protector on phones, I keep them naked as god intended
In 15 years with mobiles, I never dropped any of them once.
I usually have a case ready for when I go on holidays, to the beach or in any place where I'll toss the phone in a bag. Apart from that, nope.
It's a problem. When you use a case you keep your phone safe from breaking and scratching, but you lose the light weight, the small size and the ergonomic design. I think I'll try to use it without a case this time.
There are slim cases that don't ruin the phone. I am going to get a clear case made my ringkle I think.

I will get hybrid case for protection.
Granted, my Note 3 fell in hard ground few times, but it's saved due to protection of hybrid case.
There was a time when I used to swear by the biggest bulkiest cases to protect my device like a baby for resale purposes. But after many years of seeing that I pretty much never drop my phone (due to the way I handle it) and I'm buying these nice feeling slim devices all the time but the whole time I am just holding a thick piece of rubber in my hand and never actually getting to feel the device design, I decided I am done with cases.
Thanks to the recent introduction of tempered glass screen protectors to the market, I can now have piece of mind that in the rare case I drop my phone screen-side down I would still be able to use it without worrying about a single damage to the display itself. I swear by caseless devices ever since I had the Galaxy S3 and I have not regretted the decision since. Of course, such scenario doesn't work for everyone if you are not OCD-like careful with your devices like I am and are prone to drops quite often. In that case I would recommend a high quality ultra-slim case if you want to maintain the design/feel of the phone with just a slightly different material (matte/rubberized plastic cases can actually feel pretty nice, kinda reminds me of the Nexus 5).
i normally don't like to put a case on my phone as it'll disturb the aesthetic intention of the design. however, if its a slim case that doesn't interrupt the design of the phone, then i might consider one.
This makes me think... All these defeat the purpose of the LG g3 slim design.

I'm the same, rarely drop my phone nowadays and now I use premium screen protectors so the tempered glass protector I just ordered should help the screen from any serious damage.
Not since my S4 do i use cases. Jut make the phone more bulky and ugly. Didn't help my s4 screen just breaking in my pocket from heat change.
Curious how everyone else's phones have been holding up so far. The back of my phone is covered in little specks, which appear to be from pitting and minor surface scratches. It's very disappointing since I've had my phone permanently in a case since I've had it. I'm wondering if the metal is just so soft that little vibrations while in the case is causing marks.
I'm hoping there's a way I can get them out but seeing as it has a brushed finish, I don't see it being all that easy.
That's indeed pretty surprising (marks with a case on). I would think the only way this would be possible, is if there was some grit or sand between the case and the device. If this were in fact true, I can see it rubbing on the finish over time (as others here have also mentioned). Even so, the scratches would probably just be in isolated areas, not for the back to be covered in scratches, unless there was grit captured everywhere inside the case. Which is very unlikely, as you would have noticed that.
The other possibility is scratches from a hard plastic case (you haven't mentioned what kind you have). Again, this is something that some folks on here have observed. But folks have mentioned scratches in a few isolated locations (like the edges) not covering the back.
I have had a cheap soft TPU case on my M8 for a month and a half, and not a single visible scratch on the back, that I can find.
The dirt/sand certainly makes sense. But I've repeatedly taken out the case and cleaned it, and it appears like I'm getting more of these. The case, is a soft tpu clear case.
Further, I only rarely use this case once a day for an hour when I go to the gym. The rest of the time my phone sits in my leather pouch, which I KNOW there's no way that's scratching it.
It certainly shouldn't be getting marked up like this from such careful use. I'll try to post pics later.
Sorry for the linked images. You can download them to see full size. It's very difficult to capture up close. But you can see the specks all ordier the phone.

Anyone? I'm wondering if there's a defect in my casing and if I should ask for a new one or not. Combined with my letters falling out my resale value is definitely going to hurt by this.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Haven's seen anyone else complain about this. Its especially weird, since you have a case on the phone. I can only guess the finish is delaminating or falling off, regardless if any external wear/contact is present or not.
I'd say its a warranty issue, between this and the letters coming off. But you won't get a new one. AT&T's policy is that you get a refurb after 14 days of purchase. And I've heard mixed reports on the refurbs (on past devices). Some are indistinguishable from new; while others are beat up, or may even have some hardware issues that weren't fixed properly.
A refurb is exactly what I'm afraid of. I don't want to trade in a phone with cosmetic issues for one with potentially worse issues. Any way of getting them to send a new one? AT&T has been nothing short of great for me in the past but Idk about getting a new phone replacement.

Its not in their policy. But you can always ask . . . than complain, kick and scream, etc.
Its also not in their policy to let folks switch to another brand/model. But I've seen that happen when folks complain enough. Highlight how long you've been a customer, if you have multiple lines, etc. Not sure if they have ever sent out brand new phones for warranty claims. But it sure doesn't hurt to try.
Just thought I'd add, I'm having the exact same issue with the Google Play Edition in a clear TPU case too! Were you using a Spigen case by any chance?

Wow, strange, mine too, exact same case. I took the case off the other day to clean it, it was looking nasty, and sure enough there was like some kind of grit in there. I bet that's what's doing it. Of course that's the least of my worries, it fell out of my pocket and I ran this thing over with my tractor, and crushed the side so far that I had to pry out the volume buttons, they were stuck, lol, had tire marks across the screen even. This thing is a tough phone!

Haha, very nice. Good to hear it'll survive a tractor lol. I feel like I should leave a review on that case. It seems to be flawed if it's allowing grit in. I'd consider my use quite typical, not near any sand or dirt. I'm pretty sure that lost me $100 in resellability.
