the screens on the S5 are corning Gorilla Glass with an oleophobic coating that helps to prevent fingerprints, Gorilla Glass is resistant to scratches, that being said it does not meen impervious to scratches. one of the other drawbacks to gorilla glass is that if it breaks (again its harder to break than normal) it will shatter in to extremely sharp jagged pieces.
Never put an unprotected phone in a pocket with keys or anything else. I see it all of the time, people complaining about the screen or case being scratched and then they admit to putting the phone in with keys. Even with a screen protector or case, keys will scratch the phone or case. It's just best to never do it.
Get a glass screen protector

I carry my phone in pocket with car keys and did not get scratch at all.
I don't want to be picky but this looks like this scratches are on screen protector not on glass, Remove screen protector and then take pictures. I maybe wrong but just saying.

Hi guys
My front facing camera always looks very fuzzy and I suspect its bcos my screen protector is covering it. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and/or knows how to cut a hole in the screen protector specially for the camera?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
woot~ maybe look for one with the hole already? I bought it that way for like 5 dlls at a local store, it has the hole for camera and another one like "L" for the sensors
I already checked if a clear screen protector interrupts the front camera and the answer is no. But I found out that a mirror/matte screen protector really interrupts the front camera..
You can find on ebay many good screen protectors for a few dollars.
Thks gonna go search for it now

The screen protector is very thick and feels just like it's not even on there. It does not cover edge to edge, has plenty of room for a case. I to recommend this screen protector.

Just got mine in today, ordered on Wednesday.
I'm surprised that it came with 3 instead of the 2 that's advertised.
I also like that it doesn't cover the front sensors
I'll see if I have enough time to put one on today. Hopefully it fits with the diztronic.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
How does this protector feel? Does it feel plasticy or more like glass?
I'm curious to know as well
Okay so I just put this on my phone.
I'm hating how LG design the curved edges of the screen right now.
I have the oleophobic ones and they are cut out correctly for the phone, but **** man. You have to be a surgeon to not have any bubbling edges, and that's due to the curved edges of the screen.
I managed to get mine in with only a bit of the top bubbling up, but it doesn't worry me as my hopefully prevents it from coming up.
The Diztronic fits good with the screen protector and doesn't post the edges up.
It feels a bit sticky, but that is something common for the first few days. I'll report back after I get the stickiness off the protector
Clarity is great, screen looks pretty much the same as before.
My only gripe with the screen protector is that there's a bubble that isn't any dust that is on the bottom right of the screen. I'm hoping it goes away after some use and settling.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't cover any sensors, so there's not problem with knock on/off.
Also, after some use the stickiness is already coming off and it now feels much smoother.

So far the feel is in between glass and plastic. It feels much better than plain plastic, but sometimes gets the squeakiness of plastic when your finger is sliding around
Sent from my VZW LG G2
Just got mine in today. I can now swype with a clean screen! The bare glass is a bit sticky for swyping but this screen protector is great.
After a day I take back the stickyness. Its very close to bare glass. After a little greasing up she's slick but after a good cleaning its hard to swype because the finger sticks.
I'll be sticking with it for sure though because it fits very good with my DualPro and TPU case. No it doesn't cover the curved edges but I think my case would peel back a screen protector like that.
I really love the feeling of the G2s screen and hate putting on a screen protector but this one is as close as I'll get to that silky feeling I think.

Be careful with those screen protectors, especially the wet kind. I took caution when I spayed the screen but after getting the protector on I noticed to my horror that there was condensation under the camera lens! Fortunately it dried over night and everything seems OK. Maybe instead of spraying the screen I should have used a cotton swab or tissue to apply the wet solution?
Lesson learned and I won't be doing that again!

As scary as that may seem, it has been common to get condensation under the camera lens. I haven't seen anyone report a permanent issue from it. The condensation can happen just by walking from a cool, dry environment to a hot and humid environment or if you sweat a lot.

FYI For $40 Best Buy offers scratch protection insurance
Amazon had several types of screen protectors for the gear just not sure how well they stay on.

Can't show you... tried my best to scratch it but to no avail. Dropped it from 3m (10ft) right onto asphalt with glass first... Only a small mark on the edge not visible only by running a nail on the edge can you feel it.
Went into best buy mobile yesterday at our mall and they had the quickwindow cases down to 14.99, from 49.99. Picked one up, nice and thin and protects the front too. The window apps are nice too. Just a heads up in case you're looking for one.

I remembering reading once that the silver trim of the quickwindow would sit directly on the screen and overtime scratch it. Could you observe if this is true?

I purchased a used G2 off of criaglist that came with the quickwindow case. Upon first glance, you don't notice it. But after going outside and turning the screen at certain angles, you can definitely see some very fine surface scratching on the screen where the trim meets the glass. No matter how much I cleaned the screen, it didn't go away. So yes, it definitely scratches the screen over time. Now, I put a screen protector on it (which the previous owner didnt), and you can't see the scratches anymore. However, the silver trim started scratching the screen protector too. So now I just use a completely different case.
I can confirm that, bought mine for 3-5€ on ebay (because I wanted the blue one) and after a month I noticed tiny scratches when holding the phone under the sun. I'm not using the case anymore, well I should have, shattered the screen a week ago :silly:, but when I return it from repair
I try to fix the case by sticking something more smooth on the metal rim, but I still don't have any idea what would do the trick without looking too bad.
i don't recommend it. scratched my screen..

Very aggravating, but yeah, even with the perfect install, no halo, it happens, lint collects along the margins of the protector, and sometimes dust works itself under the edges. Pisses me off, ocd about this stuff, and I'm tempted to use a dust removal sticker to remove it, but nah, alas...it's more likely to screw it up further.
