Out today in a construction area place doing a bit of business took me phone out my pocket and dropped it. Haha am gutted. Top right hand corner is scuffed really badly and dented , didnt seem to be a hard fall but it did fall on concrete...
So my first drop 2 months in and a bad drop it was.
Anybody know any good techniques to try smooth it out ? . The glass is fine just the top right hand side of the rim.. Could i get it replaced?

Condolences. It's frighteningly easy to drop this phone & I'm sure any of us would be gutted if it happened to us.
I have a gel case and a screen protector on my S2, it`s too easy to drop very expensive gadgets, you need to fit some protection unless you have loads of money.

Phones with cases, bumpers and screen protectors look worse than phones with dents. What's the point of having a thin phone if it's not thin?

Lol I feel sorry for ya buddy, same thing happened to me just a week ago.
My little bro took my phone and was messing around with it, when he saw me he panicked and threw the thing and ran lol. You can't imagine how low my heart sank as I watched my S2 soar up in the air and come down crashing. Like yours the top corner part of the rim was dented and sorta squashed.
What I did was take a flat plyer and basically shaped the rim to how it was. You just gotta cover the phone with a few layers of thick cloth as to not scratch it with the plyer and take your time doing it. And voila the thing looks as good as new apart from some initial scratches from the fall.
If you wanna try it then be careful and wise cause I'm not to blame if you crack the glass
I dont know if an zagg invisible shields full body would have made and difference with impact damage.
Maybe a wrist strap would have worked better if you dont like bulky cases, the S2 is designed to use a wrist strap, see the hole above the volume key.
Anybody know if its possible to buy the rim seperate as this is the only part that is damaged. Everything else is fine..

Very expensive case helped when i dropped SGS2 but still got a small dent on the one unprotected corner .
Screen protector managed to absorb the scratches and is easily replaced .

Screen protectors are especially useless. Anything strong enough to scratch gorilla glass will go through the screen protector easily anyway.

your looking at big doh and a tricky job mate
the easiest way to do it is to buy the whole front , glass , touch screen , vibrate motors , etc etc this will set you back approx 85-100 pounds and they can be found on ebay
i say this is the easiest way but you still have to move the mainboard to the new front as everything is built into the front of the phone , its an amazing bit of design by the way , just a bit tricky to swap fascias and bits etc
it can be done but it isnt easy and the easiest way to do it is very costly
sorry it wasnt better news mate

really???? i wouldnt say they were useless and i am sure all the people who have scratched sgs2 screens from dust particles (dust can contain things like quartz) or sand from the corner of their bag/pockets would say they were pretty worthwhile too
i would rather scratch a screen protector then scratch my gorilla glass thats for sure
you only have to see the ''i scratched my sgs2 screen'' threads on xda to relaise they arent ''especially useless '' as you put it
have a good day and hopefully you dont come a cropper and end up with a nice scratch on that shiny screen and wandering why you never fitted one of them ''especially useless'' screen protectors lol

Not really, gorrila glass is very resistant to cracks, but can be scratched by something as small as a grain of sand which a screen protector will resist, or be replaced.
As far as the rim, do you mean the bit around the screen, or part of the back? If it's around the glass then you may have to replace the screen and glass, as removing the screen from the glass to replace it and the rim is very difficult!

I would just wonder if that would hurt the lipophobic coating (anti fingerprints)
There's been a lot of controversy on whether the laminated sheet glued to the xps really affects the phone to withstand drops well I found something out. It must work a little bit because before I took off mine, I tried to put pressure on the phone with my finger and it didn't go ask black, but now that I took it off, I can easily make out go " black" by putting pressure.
I guess it must take a lot of the stress out of the glass and therefore protecting it. I regret that I took it off now and recommend you keep it on
Though it did make the phone look new again, screen looks clearer and it isn't elevated in the bottom so it isn't annoying to slide the capacitive buttons, its not worth it and I barely noticed any difference with the capacitive buttons. You still have to press it slightly higher. And it is not as smooth and my thumb is irritated using swype
Not sure if all screen protectors make these symptoms happen, If it does, then this threads for nothing

I haven't seen that symptom, mine went black either way. I still would remove mine because I don't think its needed. I dropped mine without it on and it didn't break.
It's not on to stop it from breaking its on there to stop the glass from shattering everywhere if you do break it.

Have you ever seen gorillia glass shatter? When glass goes it goes no matter what brand it is and Gorilla is scratch resistant not shatter or scratch proof. Gorrila glass is no different, tiny shards that will cut you to little bits, it is only a hardened mineral glass with a brand name.
The sheet on the front of the Xperia S is what makes it safety glass, it is there to prevent shards of glass going everywhere
Thats true, my friend got a lovely big scratch on her iphone 4 right in the centre.
Gorilla glass is not scratch proof
The xperia neos glass was made by Nokia, I dropped it from a roof and all it did was make a scratch mark!

Hi guys, i have a question for those of you who own this awesome device since the intl version came out... what are your thoughts on the scratches resistance of the screen, and more generally the device itself?
I just got my NA version three days ago and i was wonderinf if it was worth putting a screen lrotector on it or the screen is scratches proof?
Thanks!

I've had it a few days now, and i swear i have been consciously very careful with it, but i have a few scratches on my screen. only really noticeable when the screen is off, but still a pain in my ass.
i made sure nothing else was in my pockets and everything. i really don't know how they got there.
so if you're of the protection persuasion then yeah put one on imo.

Scratch resistance? None. My 2 year old Desire has less than this after a month..
It's really sad, if you think about it. The GS3 has Gorilla Glass 2. If anything, it should be much harder to scratch.
That being said, my employer ordered a bunch for a launch event and all but one came back with multiple scratches on the screens. I get the distinct impression that even the iPhone's screen is more scratch resistant. Why are we going backward?
No gorrilla glass screen is scratch resistant. Sometime or the other it will definitely get a scratch. Be wary of the small minute particles like salt, dust..etc if there aint any screen protector....
If u dont want to apply a screen protector and want to keep it scratch free, here's how :
1.Take the phone
2. Put it in its box and seal it
I guarantee screen will not get a single scratch.

I have had many phones and I have never used a screen protector on any of them. I also have never scratched the screen on a single one. So, I can assure you that there is more than one answer to "not scratching your screen" and your ridiculous response is wildly unnecessary.
Gorilla glass is supposed to be scratch resistant. That's basically its entire claim to fame. What it isn't is shatter resistant. It is hardened to the point where things like keys and razor blades won't scratch it, but it becomes more brittle and a direct impact will shatter it. This information is freely available on the web.
In the case of the glass on the GS3, it doesn't even seem to be scratch resistant. I have heard cases of the HTC One X scratching easily as well, and it also uses Gorilla Glass 2. Very disappointing.

This is the common misconception of people who think gorrilla glass is scracth resistant. Gorrilla glass only protects the screen from cracking when slipped from the hands or pocket. Its not scratch resistant.
Gorilla glass 2 is more thinner and more fragile than Gorilla Glass 1.
The main weakness of gorrilla glass is small minute particles that have settled on the screen.
Dont believed it...???
Take a particle of salt on your fingertip and spread it on the screen. Have a look on clear sunlight and you will see a light scratch (depending on the force).

you are incorrect
gorilla glass IS made to be scratch resistant and not drop resistant.
also gorilla glass 2 is not more fragile then gorilla glass 1, gorilla glass 2 is 20% thinner but same strength
personally they shouldnt have made it 20% thinner instead same thickness and 20% stronger

My cruzerlite cases put a couple light scratches on my marble white gs3 after a day or two. Probably dust that was trapped inside, i can always buy a new backplate.
Honestly, I'm of the opinion (<--note that keyword) that anyone with scratches on this device is doing something wrong. I've had the phone just over two weeks. I don't have a screen protector, or even a case for it. It's just like it was when I got it out of the box (except that I actually put the battery in it and removed all the sticky transparent film from it). I constantly have this in my pocket with nothing besides the occasional spare change to keep it company. No scratches. At all.
Not sure if this should go in the Q&A or accessories forum. But I am asking a question, so I will post here and a mod can move it if need be.
My girlfriend and I both have the note. I did not like any of the cases at the AT&T store, so I went with a screen protector for now. She chose a pink backplate with a flip to cover the front of the phone and no screen protector. She ran without screen protector on her evo for a while with no issues, but usually carried it in a holster style case that covered the entire phone when not in use. I generally carry my phone in my front pants pocket with nothing else in the pocket.
I've noticed that her screen looks so much clearer and more vibrant then mine. And while I feel a little scared of not using a screen protector, I am jealous of her screen every time I see it. Now mine doesn't look bad really, hers just looks better.
It got me wondering how everyone else protects their screen. Please vote in the poll and feel free to comment as well.
I Use the flip cover with replacement back. No issues whatsoever. Carry it in front pocket sometimes with change or keys. I Try not to make that a habit though. Only issue i have is the lower left hand corner is starting to tattered a little bit.
Cosmo D from outer space!
I came to rock the human race!
I didn't get a flip case because it won't really protect the phone from slips and falls. Considering that the screen is in the most danger when being used, a flip case will also be useless then.
I would also avoid screen protectors because they generally look like crap.

Naked for the win. I have a tpu case for rough situations, but it's rarely on my phone. I also have the flip cover but don't use it much. Always been a fan of using my phones naked.
As for screen protectors, I've never used them much because the naked glass feels best.I just make sure to give my phones a pocket of their own. I do end up with tiny scratches over time, but not enough to bug me. I also upgrade once a year using family members' upgrades, so not many scratches accumulate anyways.

I'm not worried about breaking the screen, I am worried about scratching the glass. The way my luck works, I could drop my phone 3 feet onto an asphalt parking lot and have the screen not break, but somehow accidentally kick it and send it skidding face down across the parking lot. I use this analogy because I actually did this with a pair of prescription sunglasses lol.
Hey, I've been having this same delema. Bought the att screen protector, which kills quality. Other than the fear of scratching the screen, I hate how much it picks up finger prints. If I could get a protector that didn't pick up fingerprints and kept the clarity of naked, I'd do that for sure.
Also, how tough is it to actually scratch the screen? I know gorilla glass is sometimes really good and sometimes not, depending on the phone.

I came from an iPhone 3GS with an otter box defender, to an ATRIX 4G with an otter box defender...to this beast. I wanted a case to protect it, but didn't like the way it made the phone feel. I also had an issue with the anti-glare screen protector that ATT pushes in their stores, as they SEVERELY decrease image quality on the screens. I ended up going with some very inexpensive (3 for $5) crystal clear protectors from Amazon. 4 months later and i'm still on the first one with just a few tiny scuffs on the protector. My backplate is beat all to hell, but the rest of the phone (i.e, the screen) is mint.
Go naked but just be careful with the spen it can do damage, little scratches.(barely visible)

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

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

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.

if you use a screen guard, you don't have no problem with responsiveness of the screen.
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.
