I found this http://cgi.ebay.com/US-Tmobile-LG-G...049?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2310badcd9

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.

Hmm.. the eBay link you given us doesn't seems to include the gorilla.glass??? Cheers dude. Gorilla glass doesn't means no scratch. Even titanium can be bend...

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.
So my screen had separation issues so i was attempting the washer fix (which didn't even work for me) and all i did was set me nexus down unscrew and do the fix and screw back in and now there's a scratch just a warning for you guys.

bummer. When putting your tablet/phone face down, it should always be on a flat soft surface. It's pretty obvious unless you've never had a full glass front electronic.
Not flaming, but "very easily scratched" is pretty inflammatory considering you put a glass tablet on it's face and applied pressure. Maybe change the title to "Damn, I should have thought about that before I messed up my screen."
I've put it on a cloth mouse pad when I did the washer fix. Haven't got any scratches yet.

That's the thing it wasn't on a hard surface, it was on a piece of cloth and i assume there was dirt or sand on it or something

The nexus 7 is no more easily scratch than any other tablet/phone with a glass screen (gorilla glass or otherwise).
Glass has a certain hardness and if it comes into contact with something harder, the glass will scratch.
Gorilla glass has a hardness of 7. Sand has a hardness of 9. So sand will scratch even gorilla glass.
It's still glass though, which is prone to being scratched by airborne dirt/sand which is likely what happened.

As was stated earlier in this thread, all tablet/phone glass is susceptible to scratching. They do sell these neat little clear plastic things you can apply to your screen so it won't scratch. They are expensive, at about 3 for 5 bucks, but they are worth looking into. Its a brand new technology, so I'm trying to get the word out to the uninitiated.

This. Our screens are "scratch resistant" not scratch proof. I have an acer a500 with gorilla glass and I've had it for over a year now but haven't gotten any scratches on it. Just take the extra minute to make sure there is no debree on any of the surfaces you're using to work on the tablet when it's face down.
Sorry to hear about your scratch, it's a fear all of us have in the pit of our stomachs.
i have found that it is actually pretty scratch resistant. I have dropped my tablet and some things have bumped it, and still come out with no scratch!
Get a case with a screen cover. Smart covers are awesome.

I've just been using a pouch. Leave it in the pouch and take it out when Im using it, if I need to set it down, just put it face up ontop of the pouch.
Every tablet I've owned Ive never used a screen protector - You shouldn't need to.
1.5+ years of using my Transformer TF101 without a case and being thrown around while I travel around the world without a single scratch (on the gl*** anyway, body is very scratched ).
Just to confirm the Nexus has gorilla gl***?
As others have said, you just need something that is harder than the gl*** to scratch it but that is damn bad luck.

Nexus has "Scratch resistant corning glass", but idk if this is different then gorilla glass or not (I've heard some say it's the same, others say it's different)
I too have scratches. Didn't apply pressure face down or anything. I did keep it in my backpack with the glass facing the fabric of the bag. I guess a grain of sand/hard dust got in there.
one of them I can feel the groove with my nails and it's about 3cm long.
So.. I really don't think it's gorilla glass.
You probably scratched it elsewhere without you knowing. I find the screen pretty resistant to scratches. I don't baby my device but I'm not OCD about it, use no screen protector and I have not managed to scratch it so far.

Just got back from the beach with my N7 and even getting sand on the screen and blowing it off, I still have no scratches on the device. Pretty scratch resistant if you ask me.

Gorilla glass protects from minor scratches. It's not likely to sustain a meter drop.
It's not even anti-scratch you know, it's scratch "resistant"

Samsung galaxy Note and Note 2 got corning gorilla glass which is very very weak. 1 friend had 3 major scratches after 1 week of using his note 2. At my HTC gorilla glass is ok(tried with a cutter and keys). Gorilla glass is not made for drops., maybe scratches but no way for drops.

AFAIK,,
Unlike the popular legend Gorilla Glass does not make your phone invulnerable. It could not be scratched by materials that have lower hardness level but can be easily scratched by materials with higher hardness level such as sand or diamond.
And hardness only protects it from scratch. It does not protects from breaking which depends on a lot of physic factor.
So next time protect your phone and don't expect it to be unbreakable. Even a diamond can be cut. Hope it helps
Gorilla Glass Myths
Watch this video first: http://youtu.be/TfgKLwGnOZs
Gorilla Glass is an amazing product, it has an amazing ability to not break when impacted on the face, but when that pressure is placed on the wrong edge the distribution of the force can cause the glass to shatter so violently that it releases a spark. Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof and has no real protection from scratching, they add a anti-scratch coating to the surface to protect it. If you did NOT have Gorilla Glass, the alternative would be plastic which would scratch easier. It's not always the distance that the device falls as it is the angle it hits and the surface it lands on. I realize that to most people this won't make much sense, but if you understand physics and how it applies to the molecular structure of modern glass it all makes sense. Corning spent years analyzing broken iphone screens to develop Gorilla Glass 2 and each time they increase the properties and reduce the situations where it will shatter, people come along and exert more force and then question the quality or specifications of the product. Regular glass would have scratched or broken under a significantly less violent impact.
I dropped my note from 3 ft height maybe thousand time and the screen is ok
maybe the surface you dropped your note on is too hard with direct drop on the screen caused that
and why you replace the whole screen !! I am sure that your screen is working and your touch screen also
it is just the gorilla glass layer that is broken
and the gorilla glasse even it resists scratches but it is not enough to keep me from installing screen protector
my device note 1 today 2 meter drop on hard tiles but nothing broken

Yup dropped it on a tarmac faced down. Any sorts of protection wont help, considering the weight. :banghead:

please stop dropping expensive stuff, any type of scratch resistant glass can scratch (in this case a grain of sand) or break (even heavily tested Iphone glass)
It is just less inclined to do so

If you drop a phone, it is very likely to break. So expect it to do so, and if it doesn't, next time it will, no matter which glass it is made of.

It's not just screen resistor. This "plastic film" keeps your phone screen in one piece if your phone fall. Taking of this "plastic film" void your warranty.
Screen should be scratch resistant as Sony said.
Good point. But... The warranty is lost anyway if I breack the glass...

It is but if you don't and you need to send it off then you can't if you remove it, so you should really leave it on.
The warranty is irrelevant. We know as tested the screen is scratch resistant?

I got a nice scratch only a day or two after removing the ASF. It's not nearly as scratch resistant as the screen on my galaxy s3 or s4 or my glass-m protector for the Z1.

This is nonsense. There are tons of youtube videos proving the contrary.
This french video shows scratch and drop tests. Once the protector is pealed it's totally scratch resistant.

I thought so to, that's why I didn't bother putting on a new protection when I removed the original one. I also watched the videos, and I still think it will do just fine against the blunt keys and coins.
I got the scratch from normal use, carrying it in my pocket, laying on the desk and in the car. And this is the only screen I've gotten any scratches on for the last two years... The Glass-M for the Z1 is the first protector I've ever put on a phone, because I never felt the need for one until now.
Hm, miracles with this phone, like the bending story... sorry for you then...
Got off the phone with Sony. They say that it is scratch resistant as well as the back, though not as well
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I thought both panels of glass on the Z1 are DragonTrail glass? Seems like it's tough stuff.
I've seen a couple of scratch tests on youtube, and they both went very well. One used a scalpel as the final tool though, and IIRC that started to scratch it up.
I'd always leave the ASF film on the phone, and if it starts to get scratched up, I'd just pull it off and replace it with a new one. Keeps the glass in perfect condition, plus if the glass did shatter after a drop, you would be able to keep using the phone without risking cutting your fingers up. Makes sense to me...
Talked with T-Mobile Tech support and specifically asked them if they know for sure the glass under the screen is scratch resistant. The rep I talked to said specifically he has seen were people have lifted the plastic and tested it and while it is not has good as Gorilla Glass, it is indeed scratch resistant.
Funny enough, I went to the Sony store and the guys there had no idea.
It's a tempered glass and as a glass is well scratch resistant but I will not pretend to much.
