Hi guys,
there is a good way to remove scratches from our phone display?
I've a big scratch visible also with the display powered on....and this is annoing for me....
Any suggestion?
Depends on the scratch. I've had a pretty big one before, but managed to get rid of it by rubbing it with a wet soft tissue paper. As long as its not a dent (like a deep one that does change the surface of the screen), you can remove it if you wipe it gently but strong enough

You've removed scratches with a "tissue paper" it's right?
I didn't believe it was possible
My one is enought deep to see is with display lighted up...generating some refractions...
You could try and polish it out, but you might make the surrounding area bad too. Best of leaving it I reckon.

is able to remove scratches from gorilla glass?
I wouldn't expect it to work, no.
Yes, that, seriously. I told you, as long as it doesn't leave a dent, it is possible. I dropped my phone to marble surface, and it left a pretty long scratch. It looked like the glass was actually damaged, but turns out it wasn't. So I had to rub it hard enough for it to dissappear.
The glass itself is scratch resistant, so unless the glass cracks or gets damaged, you can pretty much wipe off anything above it without leaving trace.
Now if the scratch we're talking about now is an actual damage to the glass, just clean it and leave it.

in my case, there is no way to remove a real scratch in the display with tissue paper...

You might wanna try this or this, maybe one of the methods works.
Maybe there are some screen protectors that fill the gaps or something? Not sure.

Hi guys,
Just sharing my thoughts after applying this screen protector. NOT recommended imo.
It's pretty easy to apply onto the phone and I was amazed that I didn't observe any air bubbles at all.
After using the phone for a couple of hours, I found that the sensitivity was really bad when I was typing. And it got worse over the next few hours and I could hear clicking sound as well.
After like half a day, I finally gave up and took out the SP. And to my surprise, the SP only have adhesive around the edges, leaving the entire surface above the active screen empty! I am guessing that's the reason for the air gaps and poor sensitivity.
:crying: now left with an unprotected screen
Thanks for the post. I would assume this is curved-screen friendly? Does it stick all over around the sides as well?

There is only adhesive around the sides. After applying onto screen, you can't really see any gaps by the edges.. But the gaps are on the active screen area
I am not too sure about being curved screen friendly... You referring to the curved edges?

I understand your pain, I didn't go for this protector for the same reason, I watched quite a few review videos and wasnt interested in this type of protectors.

No, I mean since the phone has slightly curved sides, (perhaps) no tempered glass can cover edge to edge without leaving the sides. Look at the photo, you will get the idea.

Ah... That was covered as the SP had black edges all round.
I don't think there is any tempered glass SP around which can solve this issue though... Even the curved ones for S7 edge have air gaps issues since it's not possible to match production tolerances.

Exactly, there are those simpler SP which offer complete coverage but again, there's no use of such SPs because they only protect the phone from scratches, to which the screen is already resistant, to an extent. I guess our only option is to wait then.
Has anyone seen this before? Is it possible to have this manufacturing defect covered outside of the warranty?
Short description: it appears that the adhesive in the top right portion of the screen is letting go, and air is getting between the glass and frame. Phone has been in a case since day 1, and treated well.
I love Android, but a defect like this, and no help from my carrier or Samsung, make me want to switch to apple and apple care [emoji20] [emoji52]

The glass in that picture looks like a glass screen protector, and not the glass of the actual phone front (the actual glass does not cut-out around the light sensor and camera and instead is entirely flush along the front of the phone except for the speaker and home button). It may have been put on when you first got the phone, but it shouldn't be a problem to remove it/get a new one if necessary. It might even be possible to reapply the existing one, depending on the brand and what glue was used to attach it initially.

I understand thinking it's the screen protector (or screen protector related), however the air pocket stops where the protector begins.
The "bubble" now extends down to the power button.
I've attached a new picture to try to show better the issue, and that the screen protector isn't relevant.

Ahh, my mistake then, this picture does make it clearer. The only thing I can possibly think of is that the screen protector is adhered to the glass tighter than the glass is to the digitizer (or heat/age weakened the adhesive holding the glass to the digitizer) and so pressure put on the raised screen protector (from being in a pocket/bag or pushing against other objects) is separating the glass from the digitizer. I'm not really sure if there's a solution, other than replacing the screen.
Picked up the invisible defender screen protector.
It has edge wings that wrap around the sides and stick on the back of the phone. This means there's no lifting since the screen protector is stuck on the back side.

Just installed it. Not a fan. The sides push up and create pockets of air. It's also really rubbery, more so than the IQ Shield I used on my S8+. It's really difficult to write with the s-pen.
There's also a rainbow effect on the two sides

That's good info - mine arrives today, but is only going to be a backup to the cheap tempered glass one I bought, which looks in the flesh like it could be case-unfriendly, so that I have *something* at least protecting the screen when my phone arrives next week.

I got one of these too but not applied it yet as i don't have the phone but it says on the packaging to allow a couple days for the pockets of air to dissipate on the edges and that the 'rubbery' feeling should too so i wouldn't rip it off straight away and give it a second chance.

Honestly, I wouldn't knock it so much if it didn't have the two rainbow bars on the sides. These won't be going away since they're imprinted into the protector. They are distinct lines.

Damn ! Looks like I'll be going naked after all I really dislike screen protectors for little things like that
I hate not having some type of screen protector on my phone, and really didn't want to wait for better solutions. Whitedome was just too expensive and i tend to break protectors often. So i went a head and tried out loca glue with a clear glass protector. The glass protector had adhesive on the outter edges. prolly why i had a lil bit of bubbles on mines on the upper right. Came out not bad imo. Responsiveness is great.

Question, is it easy to remove it? or is it a hassle?
I would be concerned with how hard that will be to remove :/

probably if you applied heat, the glue would melt, but depending on the glue of course. I am curious to know.
I would cover the earpiece with tape or something, really easy way to avoid getting loca glue in it.

Thanks to the info. Just completed my installation of a tempered glass with LOCA and used 70% Alcohol and worked wonders to remove excess.
Looks great, any dot matrix on the screen you used? hows the clarity?
I'm in the UK and have the Whitestone kit. It has one spare tube of glue. I assume you could use the kit with any clear tempered glass? Happy to sell it for £12 inc shipping in the UK. Paypal payment. First PM gets it.
If the tempered glass breaks how difficult is it to remove loca and the glass from the phone
Is there any video showing the process?
Anyone know of an amazon TGSP in the UK without Dots?
how long do you keep the phone in the UV light?
interesting, thanks for sharing

After watching this I'm not so sure about using Loca 1000.

I removed and replaced my Whitestone Dome - the glue stayed with the protector, there really wasn't any one the phone itself.

We're not talking about the Whitestone i think everyone is interested in knowing how easy or hard it is to remove loca 2500 vs 1000. Who knows or cares what Whitestone uses.

Excuse the f*** out of me - he was asking about removing the Loca glue from the screen when the protector was taken off, and since they use a grade of Loca I'm willing to bet the outcome is the same where the glue stays on the screen protector as long as you can get the screen protector off OK.
Grow up and use inference.
Edit: And pay attention to what question was answered, not just what was said.
Has anyone tried this?

Looks very interesting. I wonder how well it works. I beginning to hate how my current screen protector is crinkled on the corners.
Its a replacement oleophobic coating. Oil and fingerprints. It wont protect from scratches.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
When I first bought the phone I used it without a case for a short time and there were microscratches all around the front and back. I've never had a phone in recent years that scratches this easily. So I've used the spigen liquid both on the front and back and I haven't seen any new scratches for a while. Then I put a screen protector film both on the front and back to be sure.
So this liquid seemed to protect from microscratches, but don't expect it to protect your phone from anything more than that.
It would provide very minor scratch protection by refreshing your oleophobic coating and making it slick, but like you mentioned, it won't protect from a real scratch.
There are some ceramic clear coatings for automotive paint that would probably provide stronger scratch resistance, but I'll tell you right now, they are DAMN expensive. $70+ an oz.
If you just want to redo/refresh your oleophobic coating, there are cheaper ways. Fusso makes a coating kit for tablets that will last you the lifetime of your phone and probably your next 2 devices as well.
This has the same properties as the ceremic coatings I use for car detailing, it is more than just a coating. It will protect from scratches but understand it will wear off.

Did it cover or hide the previous micro scratches? I recently got a Google Pixel 2 XL and in less than a month i have numerous scratches on the bottom side of the screen, was thinking if this would be able to cover the previous scratches.
For those who have applied, any updates? (now that it a few months old by now)
I am thinking about using it.

I would like to hear any updates on this as well.
I've had this on my S8+ for a month and a half or so.
Applying the "screen protector" was super simple. You just wipe your screen off with one wipe and then apply the coating. All-in-all it took me a minute of application time and I gave it ten minutes to sit before I used the microfiber to wipe off the "excess".
The coating is very hydrophobic, which means basically nothing to me because I don't go around dumping liquids on my phone . It did nothing for my existing micro-scratches, I was hoping that it would fill them in at least a little bit but they're just as bad as they previously were. It seems to help prevent new ones, though. I treat my phone terribly (in and out of my pockets with no case or other screen protection) and I haven't noticed any new scratching since I applied the coating. With that being said, I'm not convinced that it would stand up to anything that would result in major scratching. If I were more concerned about the safety of my phone I would definitely be looking at getting a traditional screen protector or a good case.
