Should've put a screen protector immediately when you got it.

you may find adding a protector now will hide the scratches if they are small enough
They may be superficial. Did you try some good rubbing with a lint free cloth. I had no sp for the longest with no scratches

sadly NO, If it makes you feel any better my Note always has a case on and just once i removed it for 5 minutes, I manage to drop the phone on a concrete now my screen is scratched thank good the glass didn't break.
I have a scratch on my Galaxy Note also :/ I've only just had it for a week. I only noticed the scratch when I was about to put the screen protector on. I think it happened due to me showing my sister my phone, and she gave my phone to my TWO year old niece to draw on :/ I'm so upset and angry about it. I've dropped my HTC Desire HD many times and not a single scratch.

Please post all questions in the Q&A section
I have a tiny little scratch on my note as well. Its no big deal because it can't be seen unless you direct it to the light at a certain angle but it still bugs me.
It seems like the scratch was made with the s pen as it has the pattern of something I had drawn when I was trying out the s pen.
I'll be getting a screen film soon to avoid any further scratches.

I got a 1mm deep scratch on my screen to
again always had a cover on it and when i took the cover off ... guess what .. it fell on its face and got the scratch.
Now i have the flip cover on it and wouldn't risk taking it off again.
As they mention : Gorilla grass is scratch resistant only.
Look up 'Displex' - it's the best scratch remover there is, and it's cheap too.

This isn't for the faint of heart....
I built scale plastic model airplanes for 30+ years until the bifocals & carpel tunnel made it impossible to hold an airbrush.
The clear plastic "glass" parts, if not packaged in a bag, can get scratched, screwing up a good looking model.
For starters, try some mild toothpaste. DO NOT rub very hard. It's glass, but you don't want to really screw it up...just in case. After toothpaste, try buffing it with a sheep skin cloth (chamois). Now this one will sound silly, but it works on plastic, clear future floor wax. I used it from time to time to fill the spider cracks where they didn't get the mold clean when they injected the plastic.
I haven't had to fix a gorilla glass/hardened glass screen, but I've used these tricks on my old windows phones & pda's after too many uses of the stylus.
I don't use a protector on either my streak, for over a year, or my note for the last 3 months. I don't understand how they are getting scratched.

Clear floor polish works on harder clear plastic. Never tried on glass. WOrth trying for $10 from local supermarket. And then put a cover on it
I'm lucky so far - only scratches have been on the screen protectors. But then I need to replace them - used up two so far, and good quality 6H ones too! Better than a scratched glass though - sorry to hear about that!
The best case so far is the Griffin survivor knockoff but it is very cheaply made. The screen protector scratches very easily. Does anyone have an idea where I could get the material used for the screen protector that Otterbox uses ?
Otterbox defender has a good quality protector but unfortunately it has cutouts for the home button as well as the top Speaker.
ARE there any other options ? Does anyone have any ideas how to dust proof the Otterbox?
Dust definitely is a problem with this case. I end up taking it apart to clean a couple of times a day, which sounds worse than it really is, even to me - When I think about it, I'm like, "Ugh, what a pain", but then, after, I'm like, "That wasn't so bad".
Anyway, in response to your question, I do have an idea, but haven't tried it and probably won't because I don't mind the cleaning.
You could cut to size and glue rubber washers to the inside of the screen, outlining the cutouts.
Tape. Put a small piece non sticky side up over the home button opening then tape it down from the inside do the same with the speaker cutout and use a needle to perforate it. If you're good with an exacto knife you could cut colored tape to fill the opening then use a small strip of crystal clear packing tape to seal it into place. It's cheap and easily replaceable when dust gets stuck to it. It'll serve 2 purposes of helping block the dust and catching what sneaks by.

Some people work in environments with lots of silica dust which will destroy the screen in no time. It's no fun to have a hazy scuffed up screen on your $700 phone.

If I worked in an environment prone to dust/sand, I'd have an otterbox no doubt!
I don't mind a few scratches on my phones body/midframe but my screen must stay relatively pristine. Scratches on my viewing area drive me insane :thumbdown: luckily I have an office job, but I do live in Florida and there's lots of sand around to wreak havok on your screen. For that reason alone I never put mine in a pocket cuz I prefer my glass naked, so I use a microfiber/microsuede lined leather holster with the bottom corners open so the sand and dust can fall out easily.

Defender for Note 2 won't save you from dust. For someone working in such harsh environment, I wouldn't even recommend getting N2 but rather S3 with Otterbox Armor soon to be released. Seidio OBEX might work as well. But those are not for N2

I guess I don't see how taping over the speaker and the punching tiny holes in the tape solves anything. Also tape would peel and get dirty. Just put a quality sp on and buy a good case, then leave everything else up to the gods.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Tape costs a few bucks for a big roll. When it peels you replace it, same with getting dusty. Thats the whole point of using tape so the dust sticks to it instead of getting and and being able to move around. As for perforating the tape, a few small holes is much harder for dust to get thru than a large opening, but will let the sound thru fairly well. Obviously you've never had to protect electronics in a harsh environment. One of the most common things done to protect ordinary electronics in the desert is put tape over the ports to prevent sand from getting in. Same in wet environments only you use heavier tape like no residue duct tape.

Yes obviously, because you know me, I've never had to protect my device in the desert.
But you would be wrong, I did 4 combat tours in Iraq and I never had a problem with a screen protector and a case. I been in sandstorms so bad you couldn't see in front of your face and I've never damaged a device. So before you go assuming things that you know nothing about maybe you should stop and think before you put your foot I your mouth.
In fact I still have the ipod I took with me and it works perfectly, as did my mates.

I have the book type flip case with holes on the flip cover for accepting calls and all that stuff but its not dust proof and I hate it..dust gets to my screen everytime and it damages my chrome bezel and back cover
I have always used invisible shield on my devices. One reason was the wet application method their protectors use. I always have issues with dust, no matter what I do, but the application solution seems to rinse the dust out with it when you install the wrap. With a dry install if a single piece of dust lands on the screen on the install you're screwed.
Anyway, does anyone know if any of the Zagg (or other brand) protectors use a wet install?

Ghost armor does. Not sure why you would want one though.. way too much friction for something with a stylus.

Would you say I'm ok without a screen protector then? I'm not one to throw my phone in my pocket with my keys or anything. I keep it in a pocket by itself. I would like one of the glass protectors but I've seen way too many bad things about them due to the screen being curved and causing a "halo" effect.
The "original" on their website I think. But that would be badddd with the pen.

I remember the original being pretty sticky feeling on my old iPhone. I just bought an HDX Defense, but it is a dry install as I referenced above. Its pretty clear and almost as smooth as glass, but I couldn't get it on without any dust. I ALMOST did but one big piece hit the screen just as I was laying it down, and I ruined the protector getting the dust off. I'll be sending in for replacement to try again but I just don't see how I could ever get one of these on without a single piece of dust. When I clean off my phone and watch if for about 5 seconds I get 10-15 little dust particle in that amount of time..... Ugh.

I do mine right in the bathroom after a shower. The steam helps keep the dust manageable. Also, use the tape hinge method so you can do it really fast after it's clean.
What is this tape hinge method? Also, I ran a ton of hot water in the bathroom to get the steam really going. It helped but I still got one piece of dust in there. =[ Probably took me about 15 seconds to apply, if I could do it in 3-4 seconds I could probably avoid all the dust.
I got the skinomi skin for my screen and its great. fits perfectly and no dust particles. it is not as smooth as glass or the plasticy screen protector, but I can do everything fine. prefer this over halos and dust around the halos.

It's popular for sticking decals on cars n such. Once you place the protector where you want it, make a hinge out of a piece of tape. Fold back the protector, peel off the backing, and use the hinge to put the protector back on in the same place it was taped. Here's a video.
I wouldn't mind having one for the glass back. It would add some nice grip.

tbh if you just don't abuse the phone you should be fine without a protector. After reading an article about it back when I had a Galaxy S3, I peeled my Zagg protector off and didn't even use one on the Note 3. After 2 years of heavy daily use, the Note 3 looked nearly brand new - only a few extremely light small scratches viewable from certain angles with just the right lighting. I will definitely not be using anything on the Note 5 for that reason.
I have a desk job though, and am generally careful with everything i own, however. My step brother on the other hand... he delivers/installs large home appliances. In the last 3 years he utterly destroyed 2 Galaxy S4's and an iPhone 5 because he doesn't take care of his stuff at all (both S4's had smashed screens, camera lenses etc destroyed through a full Otterbox Defender case).
In any case - I too would strongly advise against a Zagg wet protector on a phone with a stylus. It would basically make the stylus unusable.
If i recall correctly, the reason they discontinued the wet application was people were applying it improperly and causing damage to their phones.
Basically they stopped selling them to cover their butts from lawsuits.
Hello gyuz,
As mentioned in another thread in Accessories sub-forum, while Installing the Whitestone Dome Screen Protector (https://www.whitestonedome.com/) on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, there was UV glue spillage all around the phone & now I have dried (UV cured) glue in the tiniest gap between the screen edges and the metal frame of the phone. Please check attached image, I have circled with red the exact location of the glue, however imagine this almost all around the phone:
Now I need a good UV glue remover to soften the dried glue and an extremely thin blade (or a similar tool) to reach in the gap and remove it. I saw some products on ebay, however I am not sure which will do the job.
First of all which Glue Remover is more suitable? Does it have to be a branded one? Or the unbranded ones will do the job as well? Is there danger that the remover will dry and stay in the gap making it worse? Will it damage the color or consistency of the metal frame? Will it damage the buttons (Power, Volum, Bixby)?
Secondly, which tool should do the job reaching such tiny gap while at the same time not scratching the screen or the metal frame? Metal Blade? Plastic Blade? Wire? Some other tool?
Please advise, as I am nearly desperate. Thank you!
Damn, I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. This is one of the biggest reasons why I don't use screen protectors on my phones. I've used a glass one on my Note 5 but didn't like it. Naked display feels the best and performs the best. Not fuss, no glue, no BS. Eeek!

Agree with everything. if i had the chance again I would leave it naked, however I would still feel very uncomfortable without protection.. Actual screen exposed to everything is a little risky!
OP, wish I could advise you, but all I can say is take your time and don't rush this task. Since as you aware, you don't want to use a chemical or item that will damage the frame or buttons. Don't use any metal objects.
Feel for you bro, you go ahead with good intentions to protect your device and now in a predicament.

Thanks for your understanding mate. Indeed tried for the best and ended up worse.
I am not rushing for now, just conctacted Whitestone themselves asking advise on how to fix it, as well as an ebay seller that sells such equipment/tools. He suggested me these:

I am not sure about the quality of the Glue Remover and how thin the tools (blades & spudger) are though. Have to make a little research.
That is why also I opened the thread to ask for opinions from people that may have done this or similar task before and to help others in the future.

I have dropped my phones at least 5 times in the last year and each time it landed screen side down. I broke all 5 glass protectors but never the screen. That is why I must have a full adhesive glass protector on. It is a PITA to get perfect but for me, it's worth it.

I understand, some people need it. I haven't chipped or broken a display since I had an iPhone. Knock wood. Naked is glorious, though.
Plastic tools and alcohol are your friends.
99% Isopropyl should be able to dissolve the glue, and shouldn't leave a mark on the phone (iso evaporates completely and is not dangerous to plastics or metals). A stiff bristled plastic brush would be ideal, maybe an old toothbrush. The thinner and stiffer the bristles, the better.
The iso will dissolve the glue, but you'll need to mechanically agitate it to remove it completely. Bear in mind that traces of iso having touched the glue will streak glass , so a second/third rinse with iso may be necessary.
I'd be careful about getting iso into the switches, as long term iso can degrade rubber (switch seals etc) but as long as you clean, then dry out effectively there shouldn't be an issue (iso will evaporate at room temp in any case). Covering the switches with tape could help, but iso is so thin it will probably go under the tape, and will likely dissolve the glue on the tape too!
e: Whatever you do don't use acetone or any other stronger solvent. Depending on the plastics used acetone will eat right through them, and may affect the finish on other parts too.
Iso really is a decent cleaning solution for most electronic devices.
e ii: Oh, and if you use an old toothbrush, make sure it's very clean. Getting some toothpaste grit on the screen and rubbing it in with a brush would be tragic. Maybe even buy a brand new brush just for this job? Not too expensive for the job, imho.

Packaging plastic is often thin and stiff... Cut it into a triangle and see if you can get "under" the glue in the gap.

The glue stays soft. If you run the paper around it, it will come up. After about a half a cycle thru, I would cut the edge of the paper each time so that I can continue with a firm edge. I did this after a week of installation.

Guyz you won't believe it! For the past 2 hours I was doing exactly that! Actually what worked best was a piece of paper that had the dust removal stickers on it (got it from the Olixar Sentinel Case/Screen Protector kit), which is more firm than plain A4 paper. And I was cutting it all the time to keep its sharpness. At some point it finished and I used just plain A4 paper, which wasn't the same but it kinda worked as well..
I was running it inch by inch around the whole frame, taking out glue (indeed soft) little by little! I think it's much better now, though I think I will do another round in the near future.
well after watching videos.. I could see I never needed ALL of that small tube of glue. I always use some kind of screen protector. I like to sell or give away. And you can ALWAYS tell the used phones that never had a screen protector. Always some kind of scratches.. For me selling it mint.. gets more money.
So use some kind of plastic not metal blade to get the excess glue off. It comes off so easily

I had the same issue with mine and all I used is the film that you remove from the Glass protector before application.. cut off small squares and I ran that in the tiny gaps but making sure you don't go too deep.. Patience and time is must..
I do have a question though.. What is the best thing to use if I wanted to remove my protector off, clean the cured adhesive and use the 2nd bottle to reapply??
I haven't managed to make up my mind on which screen protector to get, and despite having a case on it and only placing my phone in soft pockets (not jeans or jackets), there a micro scratches on the screen.
Firstly I would just like to know if you have any micro scratches on your screen and secondly do you think that these scratches are on the oleophobic coating or is the screen glass just a bit scratchy?

i dont know but one thing is sure, nowadays screen takes very easily those micro scratches. ( i had mi9 and same problem than you now)
I think this is due to the new Gorilla glass, which is resistant to cracking but prone to scratching, as it has a softer surface. I managed to get a micro scratch just while unboxing and playing with it for a while. Put on a screen protector like an hour after unboxing and noticed a tiny micro scratch on the display, so... well.
Under close examination, I see none after a week of wearing it in jeans pants, and occasional cleaning the screen by wiping against pant leg. By that measure, it seems no different than my prior phones (it doesn't seem weaker).
Mine scratched as well under similar conditions. Nothing that could scratch the screen (coins, keys etc.) is ever in the same pocket as my phone. Guess jeans are tougher than they used to be - in the pockets at least!

It's not the jeans, it's due to the fine sand in it which are also in regular pants lol. Always clean out your pockets before putting your phone in. Using mine since the day it came out and still no fine , hairline , etc scratches at all.

Fair enough thought, but none of my iPhones, Samsung or Nexus phones travelling in the same pockets have been scratched in the same way.

Well, since they're not using gorilla glass and using their own, it's hard to say. It could be the quality control during production. Some phones may be different from the others in terms of the coating. Even on the mate 20 pro, i never had any scratches on the screen after months of usage. As long as the pocket is always cleaned, it should be fine. Tests on jerryrigseverything shows that it has the same resistance as most major flagships
Not that I notice (which doesn't mean there aren't any, it's probably just my eye sight)
I did however have this unpleasant surprise - I put the phone in a cheapo phone stand, and while I was taking it out (carefully) a thread of plastic just rolled off, right around the power button.... my heart ached :crying:
