[Question/Opinions] Touch Screen Safe Scratch Remover - Nexus S Accessories

I have some rather minor, what I would barely call scratches on the Nexus S 4G I bought. Do you guys have any personal recommendations for scratch removers that are safe to use on touch screen glass?

There's no safe way to do so. You'll take off the oleophobic coating and won't have an even surface left either. If the scratches are really small and fine, a wet application screen protector will probably hide them.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Throw a best skins ever on there and you wont see them anymore ... and you will have awesome protection.

Who rocks their Nexus S without a screen protector?

Who does not use a screen protector on their nexus s? My invisishield just got really bad so I took it off. I think I will get a new one but who doesn't use one at all? You have any scratches?
I don't use one. Have had my NS for 13 days and no scratches yet!

Why would you use a screen protector? It would totally negate the amazing oliophobic coating that makes this device so special

I've had my Nexus One for about a year. I have a couple scratches on my screen even with Gorilla Glass. The scratches are definitely from keys. I also have a few nicks on the body. I went a month with a pouch/case and screen protector but after about a month I realized how you totally lose the design of a phone with cases'. So I think when I get my Nexus S, Im gonna use a pouch and just rock my phone fully NAKED, who cares if you scratch the screen or the body, Its just a phone. In about a year when your going to sell it, its already dated and worth little to nothing, How much is a 6/10 condition Nexus One Vs a 9/10 Nexus One?
im looking for a pouch too. i love the way the stock phone feels on my hand.
i'm not using any screen protectors for about a month, and no scratch till now

Because there are small spots on my screen where the coating is gone (or seems that way anyways). There are others who have experienced this also in the big "oleophobic coating" topic. It can only be seen under light in a certain angle, but it's definitely there. The screen protector negates the effect so I don't see it anymore. Weird, but that's why I use a screen protector.
No screen protector. No scratches either

I don't use a screen protector, had my phone since the week it was launched in the UK and I don't have any scratches on it.
I always think they look rubbish, no matter how neatly they are put on.
i dont even use one on my evo, unless your working in the trades I dont think most people will benefit from using a protector
No screen protector since day 1 in december, no scratches either despite some bad drops on concrete which have dented the plastic around the screen.
Glass is tough!
I think building up a castle around a phone is "iPhone user style"

Screen Scratches

When I bought my phone,I ordered a full InvisibleShield from mobileden.co.uk for 20 pounds. It has been about 3 months and nothing arrived,they are not responding to emails and my screen has been scratched more that a lottery ticked in a retirement home...
Does anyone know a way to fix these,or maybe I can order another Invisibleshield that can cover these up,I cant find it in Montenegro,so how about a site with shipping?
If Im right, there should already be a factory fitted screen protector on the play. Try removing it, and try ordering off Amazon.co.uk for a new one.

Ya there's a film over your screen stock and it picks up every scratch under the sun. The screen itself is very hard to scratch, you can take your car keys and try to scratch it nothing well happen. But ya take of that film it's a scratch magnet.

I think there already is a screen protector preinstalled, i didn't noticited it. I think that's the reason why it's so hard to put another screen protector on it.

There's actually one under that, it's got a great fit to it and you can't even tell it's there. If you look where the buttons meet the glass you can see there's a film on the screen. It's not really a screen protector it's a film they put on to prevent the screen from shattering if you dropped your phone kind of like safety glass in your car windshield it will still break but it doesn't let the glass fly. The problem with it is it's super soft so it picks up a ton of scratches. I recommend removing it and if you want apply a real screen protector that won't pick up scratches. Like I said it isn't really a screen protector just a soft piece of thin vinyl that scratches like crazy. To get it off get a pin or tack and pick away at it by the search button and once you get it lifted a little you can just peal it off with no problem. The mineral glass underneath is pretty dang scratch resistant but once that crappy film is off you can apply a proper protector with ease. Hope that helps some

Thx,as soon as I get an InvisibleShield I will peel it off. Maybe I should sue mobileden for fraud?
Here is what it looks like when removing the factory vinyl. I had to use a thumb tack to get it started. I pushed down hard on it to get it started, and it did not harm the glass, but the vinyl scratches easily.
Edit: ack, the camera really captures the lint. I will say the colors are much more vibrant with that vinyl off. I should have taken a before and after pic of that.

Been wondering about this as my screen has got a couple of annoying scratches on it. Good to know the actual screen is much more resistant
Editing to add that I just took it off and can confirm that everything looks more vibrant
Thank you everyone for that info especially jdsemler.
Ima buy the invisible shield in couple months
Either way i'd never realize that i got the film on the screen
Yeah, me too. I didn't realize there was another shield there. Good to know when I can afford to order a Zagshield later.
Hmm I never noticed that also I think I put my cheapo screen protector over that film

I hate the Zagg "invisible" (quite the opposite) shields. The material is so uncomfortable I would take scratches on the screen instead every day of the week. Those shields are soft plastic of some sort and the fingers almost gets stuck on them while swiping (lots of friction). No smooth movement because of that and the image gets a lot more distorted than with the original screen protector on.
I really like the original screen protector as you can hardly tell it's there and it feels good on the finger. I regreted I ever removed mine and bought new original ones and am a happy camper again. They protect against speckles very well too which the Zagg ones doesn't do either. The Zagg shields are the most uncomfortable ones I have ever used and it's hard to get it on without getting bubbles and leftovers from the liquid that distorts the image even more.
I think it's the shatter proof one that's picking up most my scratches. Can somebody post a video of peeling it off? I see a very thin line with less than a millimeter gap between the phone edge and this protector. Can somebody confirm that it's the protector I'm looking at?

I may be alone in this, but I think screen protectors are overrated. The biggest danger to the screen is shattering and no screen protector will prevent that. Unless you have diamonds in your pockets I cannot imagine scratching it without breaking it completely. .

That is a good point, which would go more towards purchasing a case rather than a screen protector, though i have a major pet peeve when it comes to my screen having any sort of scratch..let alone cracks..but IMO i do believe having a well made screen protector on or screens do provide a lesser chaw of getting cracks if the device were to drop!

I agree with you about screen protector being uselessly, but with phone being so new you have to order a case, because my att store one had one, and it was for women, and the screen protector is a nice peace of mind till the case comes in.

So I just received the skinomi and got it installed. No pictures though sorry!
It was very easy to install. Came with liquid, squeege, and cloth!
It is very clear. Pretty much like the invisible shields if you have ever seen those.
Feel is also not that bad.
Fit is perfect and goes from corner to corner very well!
For less than 10 dollars on Amazon it is the best screen protector you can get.

I was using invisishield protector for a few a months. Was a pretty decent protector. Didn't tear, anti glare and all that jazz. I ended up taking it off about 4 months ago because the protector itself was scratched and to be honest, since I removed it I've been asking myself why I bought one in the first place. 4 months later, not a single scratch and I think I have enjoyed the phone more without it. Screen is clear, sharp and bright and still without scratches. Often put in my pocket with keys, lighter and other hazardous materials for out phones.

Generally, for the average person, I agree. But I work in dusty/sandy environments and every phone I have ever owned ends up with scratched on the screen, gorilla glass or otherwise.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might get a normal screen protector to put below the built-in one on the otterbox and see if that reduces the sensitivity for me.
Do we really need a screen protector?
The gorilla glass is already there right?

same here, what will be the point in selling a super scratch free 2 years old obsolete phone .....
just like the slightly scratched glass on my iphone 3gs I gave to my kids as an ipod touch
I see I'm in the minority here but screen protectors just don't have the same smoothness as the gorilla glass. Coming from a Samsung Impression it felt like I was running my fingers on silk. And after 4 months of always being on my person I can attest gorilla glass is pretty kick ass. I've dropped the phone onto a gravel street and got very minimal damage. Now mind you the phone bounced, landed and skidded about 10' on the kevlar back so maybe it was just a small miracle it didn't shatter. But the only damage was a small knick in the glass on the top corner away from the touch screen and a small dent in the metal around the face. The kevlar took no damage at all. I've also had in a pocket with loose change and keys with no effect.
Now maybe I'm just lucky but the kevlar backing and silky smooth touch of the gorrilla glass as opposed to having to change screens and getting a bulky case that won't fit the HD dock just aren't comparable.
I go a couple of scratches on my screen, probably from it being dropped in the gym and all that good stuff. I went ahead and got a Zagg screen protector off amazon. It's not too bad for the 10 bucks I spent.

Best Budget Screen Protector?

I'm a big fan of DC Mugen screen protectors, usually buying from their ebay store. I bought 10 for my Nexus One, and have only used about 4 in almost 3 years, such good quality they are.
However I noticed that they've shutdown their store, and don't really sell much phone gear any more.
So can anyone recommend a similar seller of quality screen protectors at a budget/value price? Ones that lasts at least 12 months with no sign of peeling or degradation.

What's the clarity like? Because mist anti-fingerprints make the screen look fuzzy.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
If they make your screen look fuzzy then it sounds like you perhaps tried matt ones? Matt are usually better for anti glare and fingerprints, but they do make the screen look fuzzy all right.
The best type imho would be a crystal clear gloss type that would also help prevent fingerprints and smudges. I believe SGP ones might offer this but at a premium per protector.
I'm still searching on ebay for something decent with delivery to Europe.

No one with a Gorilla Glass phone should use a screen protector. They increase the weight and thickness, interfere with the proximity sensor and don't prevent scratches, as Gorilla Glass doesn't scratch, and therefore are a waste of money, time and resources. In my experience they're also harder to clean and leave adhesive behind.

You must be jokking right. Adding weight ?! Gorilla is not scratch resitant. I do not user screenprotector but you talk nonsense.
So I contacted dcmugen88 on ebay and they replied saying they'll have their screen protectors available once their store is back up (hopefully not too far off) :thumbup:
yes i have it but the store is currently down as we move our operations.
upon return we can ship for you

Clarity is great. Like it's not even on the screen. I've purchased this brand for my GNex, really like them.
Skinomi screen protectors are top notch and are comparable to but not as expensive as zagg. There is almost always a free shipping or X% off coupon at retailmenot.com, too.

I really liked RealLook
I had one for my Vibrant, then one for my S2.
Never had to change them out once I properly applied it.
I would stick with cheap ones. Only thing is, I don't know why they don't make any screen protectors that ONLY have a cutout or the earpiece.
I don't need a cutout for the proximity sensor/ light sensor/ FF Camera. That's superfluous. There's no reason to leave those exposed with stupid cutouts. The Screen protector is Transparent.
Anyway, that's my only complaint Plus, with our screen now, there's a hardware Home button. It'll be extremely easy to line up the earpiece cutout and the Home button cutout and the rest of the orientation will pretty much fall into place quite easily.

Screen Protector Needed With Flip?

Hi everyone. I use a (non-official) flip cover. I ordered a screen protector but have yet to put it on. Here is my question-do I need it? The only things that come into contact with my screen now are my fingers & stylus. When in my purse pocket or car seat it is covered with the flip. I've been reading and do believe gorilla glass will scratch relatively easily with everyday grit and such. But with fingers & plastic tipped pen? What does everyone think?

Your risk of scratching is reduced because of it not being exposed all the time. But there is still a risk. Thats why people always want to use a screen protector. Why wait till its scratched when you can prevent it in the first place properly.

That's what I am thinking. I was just seeing what other peoples' thoughts were on the subject. Thanks!
Yes, particles could get stuck in between the screen and flip cover. I wouldn't want my screen exposed.
