Skinomi screen protector. Scratches will not show unless they are really deep.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that... That's why on my second Pebble, I put a screen protector on right away.
I've read people advise using toothpaste and soft cloth to try to buff it out.

Use DISPLEX Display polish! My scratches are away. But it need much time to polishing!

I've read you can buff out scratches but that it has an anti-glare coating. I'm wondering if this will be effected?

Think of buffing as really low grit sanding. You're just sanding down the area around the scratch to remove it, for instance, with abrasive toothpaste. So yes, you would lose any coating if the scratch went through that layer. You would need to buff the entire surface, otherwise the area where the scratch was would look matte whereas the rest of the watch would be glossy. The only alternative, aside from a screen protector, would be to fill the scratch with something. I've heard that gel toothpaste absent breath enhancing flecks or whatever would work for filling.
I agree with everyone else here. I bought this

And a skinomi screen protector right after I polished. I didn't have deep scratches but it definitely got the little ones I had on there.

Rubbing Compound
Sold a second pebble I bought this morning. Put some rubbing compound on it with a tissue and then rubbed it off with an old clean shirt sleeve. The face looked fresh out of the plastic. Doing it to my daily watch tonight!
I use a product called Liquid Armour, just have to place a new coat every six months. Use it on all my phones as well...

Does the old coat peel off easily when you want to apply a new coat, or do you just add to what's there?

I just re-apply a new coat on top of the screen...
Toothpaste - must be slightly gritty, can't use gel-type .
1: Examine your Pebble and look for the area with the most scratches. It is best to hold it up to a bright light at an angle.
2: Get the toothpaste of your choice and squeeze a small amount onto the screen.
3: Rub the toothpaste around in a circular motion while applying gentle pressure. Focus on the areas with the most scratches.
4: After rubbing the toothpaste around for about 2-5 minutes, rinse off the Pebble with water. Examine the screen and repeat if necessary.
There is dust particles under camera glass not on lens due to which my picture becomes blur n video also. How do I clean it myself?

Hi. Its pretty easy, just remove the 9 screws at the back. Push your nail or a butter knife between the margin of the screen and the metallic ring of the body, work your way all around wqith your nail to loosen the small latches, top part at the last... now as the body is removed, you can clean the glass on the body. Press the metallic rim starting from top and then all around to put the phone back together. Have fun.
Btw... there is good video on youtube about "SAMSUNG NOTE n7000 DISASSEMBLY", do check it.
Anyone have to remove this whitestone dome from their note 8? Or have you had any experience removing one from a previous device? Just curious as to if its going to ruin my phone or be a hassle to remove one day.

Pulled 2 off now. VERY easy. why would it ruin your phone?
snag a corner with your fingernail and push a playing card under and slowly move it around and you can take it all off in one piece no damage.
Idk, reading comments on youtube videos and people talking about the glue "damaging" your device and blah blah blah. You know how youtube comments go, take it with a grain of salt. Anyways, just wanted to get some verification, thanks for the reply.

Did ypu ever attempt to reapply once you've removed it? And if so, what did you use to remove the cured adhesive on the Glass protector?
I wanna use the 2nd bottle to reapply

I re-applied the 2nd. I used a 3M xylene based adhesive remover I had while wearing nitril gloves. Even with teh adhesive remover it was hard to get it off, it didn't just melt off. I had to use my fingernails through the gloves to "scrape" it off. Then I had to make sure I got every bit off and was thorough. Once I was sure it was clean I used mild detergent to clean off the xylene remover and washed it then a alcohol cleaning pad for glasses etc... finally it was ready to re-install and it looks great with the second bottle of glue. I did note some faint micro swirls when looking at it clean but they are invisible with the glue. I never inspected it that closely when applying new so they may have been there the entire time.
Pay particular attention to the curved space. I thought I had it all cleaned up but there were still spots of blue on the curved edges. I used magnification to make seeing the adhesive easier.
Adding, this is the adhesive remover I used, I got it from a local automotive store. I saw there were cheaper sprays that were xylen based. I used a fair amount, it might be easier to find a small container and soak it? The thing I found was that even with the glue loose and floating on the glass it could still get "smushed" back on with handling so I poured it across the glass a few times to rinse:

Thanks for the info!! I might give that a try soon.. Fingers crossed.
Weirdly enough, when I removed my first attempt at installation the glue had set so well that it was an exceptionally easy removal from the protector itself - it came off in one clean tough plastic-y sheet (unless maybe there is a plastic layer on the back of the whitestone glass?), and removed the domes with it. Removal of the glass from the phone was easy too, just start from one corner and apply even pressure, lifting the screen - it'll bend slightly and you'll see the glue separating from the screen, just be patient with it and you'll likely not break the glass.
All the responses here are correct though, it's a very easy removal, and loca glue doesn't do anything to the glass. A little bit of iso/ethanol will remove any traces of streaking/residual glue.
SquidgyB, did you reapply the Whitestone Dome screen protector after you initially removed it and if so, did it cause any issues with your phone? I have had the same thing happen (came off as a plastic type sheet) and I'm not sure if that's a layer of the screen protector or screen, so I'm hesitant to reinstall the screen protector in case the glue damages the screen this time?
Hello everyone.
So I noticed some scratches on the glass cover of the camera. I got some replacement glasses, to replace myself. Is there a trick/guide to take off the previous glass, without breaking it?
Some videos say to use a heat gun, but as I understand, the back cover, and even the actual lenses are made of plastic. I'm afraid I'd melt the lenses, and/or make them murky. So I didn't use a heat gun, and I tried using a sharp cutter to pry it open, but it's very hard, as the glass is lower than/flush with the outer ring. I ended up shattering the glass. Luckily, the shards didn't scratch the lenses (as far as I know of). The problem is, the new glass I glued on it got fingerprint on the inside (yeah, human error on my part). Now I have a few other replacement glasses (I bought a few, just in case), but I'm afraid I'd shatter this one again, trying to get it open with a cutter. Does anyone know how to safely take the glass cover off?
Thank you.

If you wanna fix the glass, you can scratch it with an eraser or rub some toothpaste on it.
