Well I spent 50 dollars on screen protectors (none was good enough for me on that phone , several issues)
So I am using only a pouch and till now its fine.
If you get scratches depends only on you , your use and your luck
there are many threads about scratched SGS (sand in the pants?, falling down on some stuff etc). What I recall is not putting it naked to the pants should help. A good pouch should be good enough for it
Btw you might already have some scratches on it check carefully

Search Gorilla Glass .

i use a low cost (cheap) screen protector and it makes it easier to slide your finger across the screen.

Do you use a have a Screen Protector? X8

Just Interested, but who has a screen protector on their X8?
I don't, I use to have one. I kept on scratching the protector so i just took it off and now their is not a single scratch!
(cause i'm always scared I would ruin the screen protector!)
I'm new to XDA!
Please press the "thanks" button if i helped!

Yea i also have a silicone case. It saved my phone once

I'm using soft silicone (eg rubber) case and screen protector film too.
Saved my phone many times, and it doesn't ruin the touch responsiveness of the phone.

I doesnt have a screenprotector or silicon case.
My phone looks good too, and I have dropped it many times.

I have a silicon case but i never use it... (it gathers dust. The phone looks better even with 1000 marks on it)
My phone has many marks, i have drop it many times... but it just do not die! The phone hits the floor, the back cover gets of, the battery is jealous and gets off too... but the phone works fine!!!!
I also own a small scratch on my screen because i was so stupid to test if a battery works as a stylus. The stylus worked but the battery lived me a scratch, i still can't understand how that happened... (i am very suspicious about the electromagnetic fields around it, but after a small search i found out a small scratchy thing on the battery)
My advice, keep your phone as it is. Enjoy it, a small mark will not destroy your life. Just b careful with batteries (they play dirty).

it's indispensable for the screen, without that your screen will looks like an old blackboard

i have a screen protector it was included in the box and i also bought a generic black silicon case

I use a Neoprene Pouch.
It saved my phone's life on a few occasions. Not to mention protecting it from scratching when my car keys and phone are in my pants pocket together.

i used the protection which was applied from the start on my X8 and it had no scratches until i removed it because it was old.
Not it doesn't look good anymore, so for all who don't use protection and want to keep their X8 a while longer use one !
I'm gonna buy new phone soon so i don't care at all about my X8 =P

Warning - display polish
Hi all..
This is a warning!!
Products such as Displex Display Polish (Scratch Remover) will permanently damage your screen if you try them.. Please don't (even just to see what happens).
These acrylic polishes are not made for touchscreen devices.
They will in fact make big scores and scratches appear on your screen just like a scouring pad would do..
Now, back on topic, I use a screen protector. They are great and leave a smooth glossy finish.
You wouldn't know it was there. They are a must-have.
Cheers,
CtrlAltDel

typical sony ericsson. my w810i did this too. i hate this silicon thing too. but i have a foil on my x8, but it has many scratchs (my evo 3d doesnt need on cause of gorilla glass;-)).

I have heard that screen protectors result into accumulation of moisture between the phone screen and the protective layer. This damages the screen.
Not sure if that is true.

How to remove small scratches from my screen?

hello everyone !!
My screen got some small scratches and the part with scratches are blurry.
How can I remove the scratches without buying screen protectors?
I dont want to spend money for the small scratches.

You can try with polishing paste, but I'm not sure how capacitive touchscreen will react with it. Better do some research before doing it

If nothing else works.....
I guess u can "change your screen".
They change in service centers when ur screen breaks.

I don't know what toothpaste you were using but when i did this a few weeks back on my archos 101 (g8) it left some smears that took a while to go... (although the scratch has gone )

how much money you spend if its bigger scratch ?
u need it bro, the screen protector. trust me.

I got my galaxy from my elder bro, without screen protector :'/
and I'd say toothpaste makes no effect however technically you do. Better change display, Myself thinking about changing display but saving bucks for it.

using toothpaste to clear up your scratches is a total nonsense. btw which toothpaste did you use??? LOL!!!

I've been told that Brasso works, ya know the brass polish, haven't tried it tho so no idea if it works or not.

Scratches can't be removed.
And toothpaste definitely never works. Trust me I've used all methods mentioned over internet like using toothpaste, grease, shampoo. Some even suggested using banana peels. None of them works.
The only solution is get a new good scratch guard. Thicker the better. :good:

Use a screen protector to not scratch it anymore.

No!
I did it on my Galaxy Ace and it removed the oleophobic layer(which makes the screen feel smooth) and now the screen is rough and drags my finger.

As I said, research before doing it... whitening toothpaste worked for me, it took about 3 hours to buff the scratches with microfibre tho...

HOW TO: Install a screen protector on your Google Nexus 7 Tablet (Dry Application)

Hi Nexus 7 fans,
Here at caseen we produced a video on how to install screen protector onto your Nexus 7! We used our GLARESHATTER Anti-Glare Dry Protection system for this video. It should help with anyone needing help installing a screen protection system.
For most dry application using Japanese PET, any additional bubbles will go out in 24 hours. Be sure to keep a CLEAN space!
Here is the video:

I'll be happy to answer any questions you guys might have

That nice, but you did it wrong.. I guess its like an Oreo cookie everyone has there own way of eating them
I would have just pealed about an inch off the top then applied it and slowly and softly pushed down as I peeled of the rest..

Thats another way to do it ;P Both great ways IMO. The only reason I don't like that way is that too many issue with people accidentally touching the sticky part, and thereby adding oil to the installation =(.
Expert Tip: Keep scotch tape ripped and ready to go to catch any dust that may fall on the sticky portion during installaion. =].

Haha! You know, after doing Zagg twice, I actually thought about doing it like that. All gowned up, wearing powderfree gloves and working in a BSC.
No more Zagg for me.

I always get mine wet. Helps get it down and slide a little bit to align. Also allows you to also remove any bubbles easier then a dry apply. Yes I'm talking about a dry application. A little soap helps too to prevent fingerprints.
Yea like oreos.

That installation video was brutal. In my house if I turned the screen protector over like had done, it wouldve had at least 1 or 2 dust particles catch on it. The way i do it is to always try to start from the top, peel back maybe an inch worth of the 1st guard, and lay it as perfect as possible all while holding the protector downwards. Then work your way down gently, push out the leftover bubbles with a microfiber cloth and my fingernail. Lift and dab with tape when necessary if dust bubbles occur.

so how's the feel on this one (is there any grip while swiping)? is there any orange peel? and how well does it reduce fingerprint?

Lol once i go back to school ill have access to a real cleanroom, may have to buy a new screen protector for it. But imo that wasnt a very good installation guide seeing how there were still some noticeable bubbles. The technique was good but Thats whT people are trying to avoid haha
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

I usually ignore any dusts/bubbles at the beginning. Of course, it's nice not to get them, but my main concern at the start is lining it up properly so that it sits perfect on the screen. Once I get that sorted, I use scotch tape and lift up every corner and clean up from below (while wearing lab nitrile gloves). I've had perfect applications using this method, though it takes time. Heck, it took me an hour and a half to get it absolutely perfect and bubble/dust free application for my Galaxy Nexus! Only took about 20 minutes to get a perfect and clean application for the Nexus 7

For those wondering, any bubbles on the screen protector will "dry out" after 24 hours [Ours is now bubble free after 24 hours of waiting]. I can understand wanting to do more! The more techniques performed the better. Just be ready to multi-task =).

As a dry system there will be no noticeable orange peel. Also this one is super smooth, and does not grip your finger at all.
You won't need to wipe your screen for 2 weeks or more guaranteed. Our GLARESHATTER system takes care of fingerprints extremely well!
We have great Amazon reviews for our Nook Color version: http://www.amazon.com/caseen-GLARES...ie=UTF8&qid=1344896005&sr=8-9&keywords=caseen

Dust Magnet

My Xperia T attracts dust like a magnet. It's unbelievable. Soon there will be no dust anywhere on the planet. Just one big dust ball with my Xperia at the centre of it! Anyone else have this problem?

Remove the screen protector that comes factory fitted with the phone. I have done that with all my xperia phones and it makes the screen miles better. Furthermore, I have found that it does not attract as much dust

Does it get easily scratched? I did it with my old x10, but got scratched pretty bad.

That's a good plan, it may well be that screen protector. I'll replace it with a different one see what happens.

Just try near the top centre, once you have a corner up it pulls off easilly enough.

I've been taking a can of dust off air to my phone like twice a week. Especially around the bevel... works well.

I now have the same problem on my new Pixel 7 Pro I bought like a month ago. It's screen is dusty whenever I get it out of the pocket no matter what pants.
Searched everywhere and can't find anything useful. My first guess is some kind of static electricity. I've tried:
• anti-static screen cleaner
• letting the battery die and keep it uncharged for like half a day.
• a bunch of different jeans/pants
• even tried vaccum cleaning my pockets and trying to pick up anything that's impossible to see with human eye by a lint roller and duct tape.
Putting on a screen protector film or tempered glass would be my last resort.
After 30 minutes in pocket it looks like this. It's really embarrassing when I have to get it out in front of other people. Also attaching a photo of my pocket so you don't think they are messy or smth.
