Which part of your phone is scratched?

Obviously the screen. (Topic is Screen Glass)

Yeah, but the screen is huge

Would be interested in seeing what a scratch from actual usage looks like on Gorrilla Glass. A pic would be nice.....as others is saying....it all depends on where the scratch is......if off to the side, or similar to a scratch in the clear coat of a car....I could be very livable.
Otherwise you could consider selling the phone outright on Ebay, and then buying another locally. You would be amazed at how high the prices are for slightly damaged phones.

I cannot understand... if its the screen, why would you be changing the internal instead of the external? Unless you have a scratch inside?

The product on ebay seems to include the front glass assembly? Including the touch screen?
I tried taking a picture of the scratch but it doesent show up on any pictures.
The scratch is ~1.5cm long on the left side from the edge towards the middle.
Now when looking closer I actually have some more small scratches but they arent as deep.
Im really starting to wonder if thsi really is GORILLA GLASS!
On my Nexus one I tried to scratch it with a knife pressing really hard on the Glass and no scratches. Wouldnt do this on the O2x.

Gorilla Glass isn't scratch proof, it's just more resistant. Stabbing it with keys etc isn't likely to leave a mark, but something like sand will.

Why don´t you try to put a screenprotector? Maybe it ill disguise the scratches.
By the way: US$350,00 for a digitizer? Sounds pretty expensive to me.

Yeah im gonna order Zagg's screen protector since I know those are of high quality. And it covers the WHOLE glass. Not just the screen part.

ZAGG invisible shield screen protector video review

Hi guys, just wanted to share this video I made reviewing ZAGG's invisible sheild for the samsung galaxy ace.
Overall it is a great product, and I will highly recommend it. The only problem being that it is not a perfect fit, nevertheless it feels great and it is one of the few that offers a complete protection to the front, the back and the sides.
It only retails for $15 if you only want the screen cover, and $25 if you want the full body.
You can purchase the product in their website: http://www.zagg.com/

I searched google and many users complain about the resistive touch effect of the shield..What can you say about that?..

AndoridPolice on the Glass N4

From the latest review by Androidpolice.com: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/07/google-nexus-4-review-the-beautifully-crafted-premium-flagship-phone-that-android-deserves/
"Since this whole smartphone thing started, every phone has had a glass front - a glass front that is easily breakable. So unless you are clamoring for a plastic touchscreen, I don't see how you can say it's ok for the front to be glass, but not the back."
Preach on, brother :highfive:

I don't mind the glass back as long as it's not the cause of the phone overheating. I live in Arizona and hopefully I can use this phone in the summer and not have it melt in my hands.

That doesn't make a lot of sense. Having a glass back and front makes it much more likely for even the front to shatter. The reason being glass has no give. So any shock can only be absorbed by the glass. Don't get me wrong, I'm getting the phone. But a glass back is always a concern.

No. I believe it is chemically strengthened glass. To be exact, it is: alkali-aluminosilicate sheet glass. But not plastic. If you take a bunch of smart people and add a bunch of money, you get cool stuff like Gorilla Glass.

I think I liked what the comment was going for. The front has been glass and has been prone to breakage so adding it to the back shouldn't be that big of a deal. And since I found out the iPhone had it, that makes me less worried. If my wife hasn't broke her iPhone yet, then it must be indestructible.

This is best review I saw. Good job and can't wait to get this phone

Agreed. That's pretty dumb logic. Double the glass sufaces means double the chance of something shattering if dropped.

I can't tell if you are trying to be funny but the iPhone 4/4S are well known for the glass shattering real easy. With the metal band connecting the glass, neither side of glass has any give so it takes little to shatter it.

I'm going to have to stand by my quote

Wow great review by them. I'd say that theirs is the most in depth review I've read yet. I wasn't considering the phone before (as I am happy with my GNex) but now I am starting to want it.

Really like this review and just confirms my need for this bad boy N4!

i LOVE the patterned back, but i wouldn't have went with a glass back. it's fragile and adding it on the back side makes the phone even more vulnerable to shatter. it's a relieve to know that it's made out of Gorilla Glass 2. i had a phone with Gorilla Glass for 2 years without a scratch.
that said, i will be putting a bumper case onto mine.

Considering Glass is a pretty good thermal conductor, and plastic is effectively an insulator, I doubt that would have anything to do with it.

"The screen on time for both battery charts was 2 hours and 40ish minutes."
Ugh...that's horrible...

Gorrila glass is not so power as ads. still be crashed.

I've never had shattering issues on any phone... if any, I'm more concerned about scratches, which I guess makes the glass back good news.

If I happened to break the glass I just get another one from Google

Define scratch like youre super ocd and put the phone up against light to see the mini scratches? All phone scratch you cant see the scratch marks until you put it against a light. If you cant see the scratch without putting it next to a light then its fine chill..

Its all your fault for being careless, accident is being careless. I've owned several smartphones and none gotten a scratch because first thing you do is have screen protector installed by professional or you. Second, have a dedicated pocket for your phone and nothing else go to that pocket except your phone. Third, body armor like a tpu gel case or hybrid case, I prefer hybrid for max protection. Fourth and last, be responsible and never blame a product because of your stupidity.
By the way, Gorilla Glass will get scratched. It is not 100% scratch proof.

Hold on there a second. Are we talking about the same camera lens covers? Like DSLR lens covers? You know, plastic round thingies? Those can never scratch a glass, never mind the Gorilla Glass. I mean "technically" if you find a spot of the lens cover that is sharp (I have Nikons and they don't have sharp edges for instance, cause that'd be stupid, you cover the lens of a 1000$ barrel. No sane person would made them SHARP) and push it really hard towards normal glass, I guess you can make micro scratches. But you do that to Gorilla Glass, no way. Plastic is way softer than Gorilla. What you are saying doesn't make sense. Either you had the scratches prior to the instance or you had other stuff in your pocket, like sand.

Former Marine here and I may say that it was the best experience of my life and gave me better discipline. What will me your MOS after boot camp? And a tip for you, its all mind games and hope you can handle the mental stress they will give you. I went in a scrawny teen but made it because my dad was tougher compared to the drill instructors, this helped me a lot. Physical part is do you best and always give more than what you think you can. And listen and understand the commands, this will help you not to be singled out, Drill instructors tend to look for **** birds.
Good luck, have fun, and be prepared to an adventure of a lifetime.

I know you were asking him, but I removed the one off my phone because a grain of sand somehow got underneath the film and continuously slid around in a little circle. Miraculously didn't scratch.
Also, as a military child that has suffered through 3 deployments, thank you for your service on this fine Memorial Day!

Scratch resistant not scratch immune.
Happens to all Gorilla Glasses.
But there are always careless users that manage to scratch it.
Gorilla Glass 3 is said to be more resistant.
The Glass is by Corning, not LG.

I've been using this phone for 4 months now naked; without screen protectors or case and not a single scratch here. Front or back. Just avoid dust or sand. Putting it on a very dirty pocket may cause the scratch so better wash those before using it.

I was gonna change it because mine was getting scratched up but I fell in love with the bare glass.
I signed a 13xx contract so I am hoping I get 1371 Combat Engineer. The physical part won't be a problem for me, I'm in pretty good shape for the most part. 18 pullups, 105 crunches, and I can probably do the 3 miles in 21min if I really push myself. I'm in my last year of JROTC and it has helped me out, even got me contract PFC. Drill shouldn't be a problem but no matter what, bootcamp is gonna suck. Haha. Thanky you and thank you for your service.

If you'revtalking about the front you obviously are insane and the back isn't gorilla so no surprise if that scratches

So tired of this Gorilla glass bull****

Hi!
This isnt a specific Nexus 6 problem, more of a gorilla glass issue in general. Im picky with my phones and handle them with great care to avoid scratches and such. Still I have managed to get a big visible scratch in my 2 month old Nexus 6. Im so tired of this gorilla glass bull****. It is supposed to be so durable and scratch resistant, still the phone get scratches by only looking at it. Gorilla glass is nothing more than a gimmick. Wish the phone manufacturers could abandon this and go for something that actually is scratch resistant.
Br J

Gorilla glass isn't scratch resistant. Sure its strong against bigger items like knife blades or scissors but you cannot protect it against small grains such as sand, dust or whatever. If you thought this, then you've been mistaken.

why don't you have a screen protector on it. If you are as picky as I am about mine. I have always used one. Fine particles will scratch almost anything

I think screenprotectors and cases take away to much from the original feeling of the phone. I guess Im just disappointed in how easily it scratches. Have been so careful with this phone and still it got this 5cm scratch. Its very shallow but noticable in daylight.

From everything I've read, sapphire glass is indeed more brittle than gorilla glass.
