That sucks. Looks like you should get Square Trade on your phones.

When I got mine O2X I didn't take off screen protector. Today when I looked it seemed like it was scratched. How is it posible? Is it posible that the screen is also scratched? I'm afraid to take it off to check the screen.
edit: Is this gorilla glass screen really that scratch-proof for everything except sand, minerals and glass?
Hi,
The screen's gorilla glass is really THAT good actually.. most people will say no need to use screen protector... but for myself.. I do use just for extra safety.. since even the best of them are quite cheap online.
The stock 'screen protector' is not really a screen protector.. its just a transparent sticker pasted for packaging protection. I doubt your screen is scratched, but you need to remove it to actually know..
I suggest if you are planning to buy a real screen protecter, buy those made with PET material (some even use PET from 3M), they are more durable and scratch resistant. Becareful with the terms...its sratch RESISTANT not scratch PROOF. Two different things. But it IS better.
Cheers!
Hello!
Yes, the "stock screen protector" scratches easily…
…and No, i wouldn't expect any real scratches in the screen itself/the gorilla glass itself - it is most probably intact.
You can either ignore these small scratches in the plastic foil or get one more scratch resistant.
I also didn’t take of the protective foil – just lazy…
Now after 3 months of usage mine looks quite battered and I will replace it if I have a minute.
I do not think everything is perfect in this world
gorilla glass can also be scratched, especially for small objects such as sharp sand
I suggest to you to always use additional security on your screen scratch resistant though, because some of my friends who use o2x also been scratched on the screen due to sand
You cannot injure the screen through a protector so rest assured there. Personally I always will use a screen protector. I don't feel right if my phone is "naked" so to speak, makes me uber paranoid.

Just wondering if I should put a skinomi on the screen or something, it has gorilla glass but its better to be safe than sorry? If I drop the phone its going to break most likely, but anyone have any idea how much gorilla glass protects from minor scratch situations (such as having the phone in your pocket with keys, or just the general setting it down etc?
I suggest getting tempered glass for your screen. Gorilla Glass can still get scratched or scuffed. I know because within 3 days of having the note 3 i had a very light scuff that i could only hide by putting on the tempered glass. Of course a normal screen protector could have done the same but tempered glass is relatively cheap if you purchase it through ebay.
Depends. Some people do report getting scratches on Gorilla Glass. I myself have gone without screen protectors on my last three smartphones and all three screens are still like new. But I'm pretty careful about putting the phone in an otherwise empty pocket with the screen facing my leg, and other such precautions.
For protection against breaks tempered glass is your best bet. A plastic or vinyl protector just won't cut it. If scratches are all you're worried about, they work just fine.

My earing made a small scratch in the screen when I held the phone up to my ear during a call. It took me awhile to realize that that was where the scratch came from.

Come on guys why do we have to have this discussion in every device forum? Is gorilla glass scratch resistant, yes. Is gorilla glass scratch proof? Hell no. Bottom line it is your call, if you think you want to chance it and not use a screen protector then have at it and good luck to you. If you want to use a screen protector cause you would rather not risk it then great!
Its your preference.......
All I have to say is, "Gorilla Glass SUX!!!" I have managed to break mine 2x in 8 weeks one of which I got to replace lcd and screen... js
just put on a tempered glass lol
I dropped my note 3 a while ago. Got a nice crack on it. Immediately went out paid 25 for iloome tempered glass the thick one.
No issues with cases or anything. No scratches whatsoever on it and its easier to clean. Just wipe with a shirt or napkin and all the smudges and stuff are gone.
I havent dropped it or anything to see how good the tempered glass works but heck for 25 bux beats the crap I went through to get a replacement phone.
Guys! I'm very Sorry to note that my phone have a lot of scratches in the screen... I think it is caused by nails but my last phone (lg 2x) with gorilla glass 2 havent any scratch... Now I bought a screen protector... And you?
And me.
Same here. Gorilla Glass 3 suckzz... I applied screenguard as my screen was prone to scratches.
Me too, it's sad because first weak and i get a scratch, but my nexus 7 2012 have no scrath at all and i bought it 1 year ago.
No scratches here, and I have never used a screen protector

I never used screen protector.
I learned it the hard way on my HTC one X (gorilla glass 2). Never wipe your screen with your cloth. It will contain sand grains and that scratches any glass surface.
On my nexus5, I use glasses wipe, and its still in perfect condition.
Hope this helps.
I've had plenty of phones with Gorilla Glass and ALL of them got scratched if used without a screen protector... people need to understand that Gorilla Glass is only scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. If you don't want scratches, use a screen protector, no matter what.
or take care of ur phone
Gorilla glass is scratch resistant until we see some sapphire glass covers with 9h-10h they will be theoretically scratch proof seeing I tried to scratch the iPhone 5 sapphire lens cover and nothing .
Buy some tempered glass on eBay I Bought one for 5$ its good overall

Mine has those microscratches, which apparently are in the oleophobic layer. Tough, but I can live with them. If it get's any worse I might apply a (glass) screenprotector, but I really prefer naked.
Yeah it's bad. Either they used really cheap GG3, or just used a cheap oleophobic coating. Good thing I have tmo so I can just get another phone when it gets really bad...Thanks jump!
SO many minerals can scratch gorilla glass. It stops stuff like keys from scratching the glass, but get a piece of sand 0.5mm big in your pocket, and your screen is toast

I got rid of some of my scratches that are on the anti-fingerprint layer however the deeper one I could not fix
fixed it with this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Proteger-Sm...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2335b86414
I think the glass screen protectors are the way to go. For $15-$25 you just don't have to worry about it and it's a little extra protection if dropped. Plus it feels naked

It sounds stupid, but I always blow on my screen after it's been in my pocket for a while to get any micro particles off of it. Like somebody else said, all it takes is a single grain of sand combined with a wipe of a cloth or a swipe of a finger to wreak havoc. If I see stubborn particles on my screen, will always dab them with my finger to get them off. I will never wipe them.
I have yet to get a scratch on my screen with the above methods.
never had a screen protector, no scratches. my phone is as flawless as when i first took it out of the box in early Nov.
No scratches on my N5, N4, N7, Xoom etc... is it because I don't put it in the same pocket as my keys and change? That's kind of like, common knowledge...
For all the people saying that a tiny piece of sand can scratch the screen, you're completely right, but some of us on here are comparing it to previous phones that we've owned that haven't scratched in the same environment.
I'm not really complaining too much because I stick my phone with everything else in my pocket (keys, cards, anything else really) and it's still in pretty great condition. (I've had it since it came out)

Hello,thanks for your message.
Mi 3 have no gorilla glass.
Thanks
Yours Sincerely,

so yeah no gorilla glass.... atleast they say. and they confirmed that it has the msm8274ab cpu. but then again no gorilla glass okay but the screen is hard? i had a lg l9 and the screen was just flexible plastic. it fell once on a little stone and the lcd broke, and touchscreen not i mean i could press on the lcd without any pressure. realy bad. the xiaomi mi3 atleast has a HARD screen i hope no flex/cheap plastic
I'm pretty sure that it has gorilla glass 3. I've got it since february without any case and the screen is perfect. If it fell in a stone, you can say goodbye to the glass, but is the same with every smartphone, you must be careful.
i think there is a different between scratch resistant and shatter proof, and gorilla glass 3 is a scratch resistant.
Maybe not gorilla glass but something els.
But the screen is good? I mean its hard just Like gorilla glass?
And my lg L9 slipt out of my hands and fell on a rock. Little one but for that cheap plastic screen was enough to bend and touch the lcd and break it. I was choqued cause the the tou hscreen didnt break more (it already broke how dont know it was standing up on the ground and sliped and fell on the screen and broke the touchscreen. I was like wtf how. It was already on the ground didnt fall. Just sliped on the screen and broke the rouchscreen.
Bref bad experiancs with that cheap lg phone.

The glass broke from 1 cm fall.....
And the lcd broke 2 weeks later from a drop out of my hand to a stone. Normaly u would say the glass break nooo the LG isnt glass its plastic so it didnt break but flexed and broke the lcd... fricking dumb cheap phone
I think xiaomi doesnt use Gorilla Glass 3 anymore, they use Dragontrail glass.
I bought a LG G2 today.:victory: I am wondering should I have to apply a screen guard to protect the screen from scratches or the 'Corning Gorilla Glass 2' is strong enough. I will apply tempered glass later, for now I want to protect from scratches. Please help me with this.
I used a Screen Protector for a while... but eventually took it off several months ago. The screen looks flawless still. Each their own but I'm not. Typically I am very anal about screen protectors but it really isn't needed on the G2.
Use the glass screen protectors, they're actually really durable. Mine has survived falls without damage, and the glass is scratch resistant.

The LgG2 glad is the toughest I've come across.
You're plastic back effect will tarnish well before your screen scratches
