My friend somehow scratched the screen with his nail,and now there are fine scratches on my screen...one of which is causing a rainbow effect when the screen turned white. Any help on removing,or at least reducing the scratches?thanks for any help
Believe it or not, but the X10 comes with a clear non-scratch resistant screen protector. Look closely along the edges around the screen, and use a razor blade to separate it from the screen. You can buy replacement screen protectors on ebay for $1 each. However, they are difficult to apply. I quit using one altogether, and I have found the bare screen to be very scratch resistant.

But I can see a rainbow where there is a scratch
doesn't that mean the main screen got damaged?
I was fooled by the factory screen protector myself. Remove it and see.
I experienced this as well. The factory installed screen protector is very hard to spot and remove, but nothing impossible.
Try Screen protector..
And as long as i know x10 is scratch proof.

All x10 have stock screen protector. Just remove it when it'sreally annoying to see the scratches! Because when you put new on on it, you will see bubbles and stuff.
Oh i see!.. there's a second micro layer on the glass!.
I've removed my screen protector and my screen is scrached now :-( after about 2 weeks using my x10 without the protector

Buy a Rewashable Screen protector for 1.59$ ( or 2 for 2.99$ ) from ebay. The screen doesn't even react to water now
I put a screen protector on mine without any bubbles. I used water to get it to slide in place and squeegeed the water out.
Also had the battery out and put it in a bag of rice afterwards just in case water got inside. That was 8 months ago and still working well. The only negative is it decreased the sensitivity of the touch screen slightly, but I got used to it.
Here is a guide if you want to apply a screen protector

Use a razor blade to pick up the corner. I broke a nail trying to get the factory screen protector off with my fingers. Lol. Whoever they have applying the factory one really does a great job.
Well whaddaya know, there is a layer. Sneaky little SE salesmen made me pay 25 bucks for another, redundant screen protector. -_-

This case sucks the outside is allright and will protext but it is ugly and the screen protector is twice as bad both sides are almost impossible to put on without a bubble and even if you do manage to get them on with no bubbles then the adhesive type stuff that makes it stick makes it look dorty and messy its a shame cause it works well and you can only use it once so if you mes up at all you are screwed
good tip, just right now my order on amazon for this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049SVT54 was shipped, do you know how is it ?
never tried it but a lil update tho the back of the phone looks a lil better after a few days of us but the screen protector part is crap
I do not understand why people remove the screen protector in the first place; the phone already comes with one which is perfectly good.

Because screen protectors are ugly crap. The purpose of a screen protector is keeping the screen unscratched during the transportation and storage, until somebody buys the product.
I always remove the screen protector before I start the device for the first time. I bought the device in order to use it not to keep it like a museum exhibit.
BTW, I just LOVE people who buy screen protectors for gorilla glass devices )))

Getting display scratched in a way that cannot repaired except for swapping the display ($$$) is way more ugly, if you ask me.
Yea but you can buy a screen protector that looks clean and cool like it is not even there instead of the original that is ugly and has that little dirty tab that says tear me off I got a great reusable screen protector from tmobile you can't even tell its there I love it and I kept this on the back of my phone cause it does protect it even if it doesnt look quite right its better than a ugly case

It's pretty simple: don't put your phone in the same pocket you put your keys/other stuff in and it won't get scratched) I have mine for ~7 months and I have no scratches on the display.

I bought this screen protector on ebay, but it was amazing. I've been using this for like 3 months now and I have no problems. Applying was easy with no problems and had barely any bubbles. I rate it 5/5.
I got an otterbox of ebay. It came with a screen protector
works great, crystal clear, nice and smooth to the touch, and easy to clean of my greasy hand marks (I work on cars).
I just hate the way the screen looks but the outer part is cool

Just got the phone this week and have babied it to prevent any scratches. Low and behold just looked and I have 3 different scratches already. The screen seems ridiculously weak considering I keep it very protected and was waiting till I get my screen protector in the mail today.
How are your screens holding up?
I check for dead pixels and scratches out of the box, then screen protector instantly.
The protectors from verizon mar easily with the spen, but I would rather it be on the protector then my screen.
I noticed three very short (3mm) scratches after a month and bought a copter screen protector. I threw that away after 2 days as it got marked by the pen and made small text impossible to read. I now have a cheap hard plastic screen protector that works well and does not affect the resolution.
No scratches here...been using it for 3 weeks with no screen protector. Never had a scratch on my gs3 either and I used it for 5mo without a sp.
^^^
Ditto. No scratches, no case, no protector.
No scratches or screen protector here either, and I just keep it in my pocket (with nothing else in the same pocket) when I'm traveling.
Hate screen protectors. I have a few tiny scratches but when the phone is in use you can't tell.

My screen is as clean as the day I got it. Of course I am unwilling to go without a screen protector on it for feel of getting a scratch regardless of ho good Gorilla Glass 2 is. SGP Steinheil screen protectors.
I got a tiny scratch after two days. I'm pretty OCD about scratches. Even though I can't see them when the screen is on, just knowing they are there annoys me. I was able to find a decent screen protector that doesn't effect resolution and actually filed in the scratch so I can't see it any more. My previous 2 phone never had screen protectors and I never got scratches. I know the Note 2 has a much larger target area, but I'm still surprised at how easily the screen got scratched. I'm not a huge fan of screen protector, but hey, it keeps my brain from hurting so much.

Which SGP protector did you get? Ultra Optics was to rough feeling for me and didn't with well with the S Pen. The Ultra Crystal feels and looks great, but scratches way too easy, especially from the S Pen. Trying to find a happy medium.

I just got the Verizon case with a kickstand and the next day while on the phone, it fell from my ear, hit the inner wheel well of my car then bounce off the ground about 3 times before sliding to a stop while the screen was down. Not a scratch except on the case itself.

MobC Protector
I went for a screen protector too since I scratched the Thunderbolt just before getting the Note 2.
I'm using the MobC Oleophobic protector from Amazon. I had a finger print proof screen protector on the TB (before I took it off and scratched the screen), but it was very matte finish. The MobC is clear while being oleophobic, so I like it.
The S-pen leaves marks right away when using is, but they fade pretty quickly.

Hi to all.
A stupid question: does it have sense to have a screen film protector on Galaxy S3 or it will just make the touchscrenn less responsiveness?
Personally I always use one, it stops micro scratches, helps resale value, and doesn't affect responsiveness one bit.....go to accessories forum for all you need to know
R: Screen Guard Protector
So you use it...do you also use a sock to keep the phone in your pocket?

If you don't use a screen protector your phone will scratch. Grab a zagg and put it on correctly, Ive had mine on for 9 months now I think. Or since the release of the s3 and still not a bubble, lift or scratch.
However if you mess up the installation then expect problems

The problems in noticed with zagg protectors are the orange peel effect on the surface and lots of lint seemed to get stuck around the edges of the film.
But I would definitely recommended a screen protector. The screen is hard to scratch, but not impossible especially if there is any sand nearby

Ok so i will buy a vikuiti and add it...my only fear is to lose screen responsiveness
Everybody must know for their own use, i don't use a protector anymore. The touchpad works much better without one - thats only my opinion! If sometime there will be a scartch, so it is. We all will die...
My old Desire was a year saved by a protector - the last one without. Got no scratches in my jeans pocket...
Doubt you'll lose any responsiveness at all. I have a very cheap protector on. Amazon sells 12 for like £2 and with the GS3 screen being so responsive, it even works fine with my thin gloves on.

It is imposrtant to protect from scratches...
Let's use it!
S3 screen are sensitive. Wearing screen protector will not lose it sensitiveness. If it lose a little bit, u will not notice them. Im using anti-finger glossy screen protector. Kinda hate it coz it make screen not sharpness as it should be.
Although it corning gorilla glass but beware. Sand in pocket can still scratching ur screen.
Do you guys have any suggestions on which screen protector does the best of keeping the screen clear of fingerprints? I feel like I'm constantly wiping my screen protector off. I am using the screen protectors from vzw.

Same here, except before I put it in my pocket
Day Deal has a screen protector for the DNA, described as Anti Glare, which is great at minimizing finger prints and smudges.
It hides most fingerprints, but if you do get any fingerprints or smudges, a quick wipe on your pants or tee-shirt cleans it right up.
Also, the screen looks very good when the device is turned on.
On the negative side, it IS noticable on your screen, when the screen is turned off.
Also, it doesn't go right up to the edges, but it does cover the touch buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Works well with most covers.
Well, Amazon is fast that's for sure. Ordered the screen protector yesterday with free 2-day and it showed up today. It isn't edge-to-edge, which is a bit disappointing as you have to be extremely precise in aligning it with the screen itself. At least it covers the buttons. A plus about not being edge-to-edge is that there's no interference with my case, so I won't have to worry about bubbling up. Guess this will do until I find a better matte set...

Gosh that was quick! It sounds like it is exactly the same dimensions as the stock ones from vzw. On the sides it just barely covers the screen. But what do you think about it so far? Keeping the fingerprints off good?
Yep, sounds right, this one barely covers the edges of the screen.
I think it's much better than the Zagg I was using in terms of functionality. Keeps fingerprints off relatively well, still get some smears but they come off so much easier than with the Zagg. Plus it feels so much cleaner when swiping...what I was using before made my thumbs feel like they were glued to the screen when I swiped. The only thing I wished is that it was edge-to-edge, but then again, that would probably cause issues with a case.

I know that some people swear by screen protectors but since the invent of gorilla glass 1 there has been no need for it. I don't have any problems with just not using any screen protector at all on this or my last phone that I had for over 2 years and had gorilla glass. I barely have any finger prints ever, just the act of putting it in and out of my pocket cleans it off. Plus I love how smooth the glass is compared to how sticky those protectors feel.

yeah i have already gotten a scratch on my screen... I had the Skinomi screen protector but my Diztronic case caused it to bubble up at the edges then it folded 2 days after i put it on when i put my phone in my pocket (there was no saving it... lint everywhere) Since then i have not used a screen protector but am definatly interested to see how those anti glare and fingerprint protectors do.

I don't personally care for the matte finish kind of protectors and the screen is anti-glare enough on its own. I got the ones from photodon. MXA with oleophobic option. Crystal clear and once it is lightly washed feels just the the screen without one. Also does not go to the edge so no worry about cases. Btw I got the minisuit flex case on amazon for around $5 and it fits so snuggly I can barely tell it's there.
