Is the screen made of butter? It's been in one pocket, and sat face up on a pillow over night. Just found a scratch.. You guys know what this feels like. Thought making a week until the bumper arrived would be a cake walk.

Thank god :cyclops:
one pocket + one grain of sand = at least 1 scratch on any phone, not just the nexus 5.
At least you didnt drop it the first day like some people that shattered their screens.
Not sure how you guys are getting scratches so easily. Mines in and out of my pocket all day. I've dropped it (Spigen slim armor case) and have had absolutely no issues. Maybe 2' drop, but still.

This is it really, sand/grit are the only things that will routinely scratch the gorilla glass used in these phones.
It's bad luck, but when it was in your pocket it must have had a rub against some. Could have happened to any phone you put in there.
darn, I wanted to leave my phone naked
Only used mine 5-10 minutes before putting screen protector on.
About 150+ hours here so far. Outside and in, in my car, on my dresser, on my desk, on my coffee table, on my work desk, in my work desk drawer, in and out of pocket. Cat even knocked it off my coffee table a couple times.
No scratches. 100% Naked.
Do you have a cat?

I feel your pain man. I've had my phone and week and I got a nice 1 inch scratch in the top corner. I've been babying it waiting for the LG quickcover (i like the front cover cases) but of course now im thinking f*ck it i'll just go naked.
I wish google would just shut up and take my money.
I'm out and about all day long and my hands get dirty. I know the smallest particle of sand swiped across my screen will scratch it. That's why I ordered a TPU case and a screen protector before my Nexus 5 even arrived.
I have a desk jockey friend who likes his phones naked... Until he put really small scratches on his Note.
Sorry broseph, I know the feels. This is why I make sure to have a screen protector on hand before taking the phone out of the box. A lot of people will tell you "it's fine to run without a screen protector, Gorilla Glass 3 is very scratch resistant". These people don't realize that there are things out there with a hardness greater than Gorilla Glass. Sand for example. All it takes is one well placed grain of sand with the right hardness level to ruin your day.
There isn't much with a hardness factor greater than Gorilla Glass 3 (crystal sapphire) but sand and a few other things do have the exact same rating of hardness (7) which can still cause scratching.
Man I must just be lucky. In the year I used my N4 without a screen protector I didn't get a single scratch on the screen.
I'm expecting exactly the same from my N5.

Sadly on any phone, even with gorilla glass 3, scratches can occur. All it takes is one small fine diamond-like hardness particle in your pocket to come in contact with your screen. Remember, even pure glass is scratch resistant, but a diamond will tear it right up.
Hey all,
I have had a tempered screen protector since day one, about two weeks now. I just don't like how it takes away from the design of the phone. Just wondering how those if you that have been naked are doing. How durable has the screen been and whilst using common sense, how worried should I be about scratching. I appreciate any input in advance.
2+ months and im still naked! i went to buy a case about 2 months ago, and a tmobile rep talked me out of it. it was easy to do, i always keep all my nexus naked. so far, no scratches anywhere. and i have dropped it. but it has had nothing but soft falls.
I've only had it a couple of weeks. Its got some minor, almost invisible scratches, as all my phones have had. I think those lint clothes are a bad idea...
got mine 11-19 i think? or a week after?
i dropped it in gritty dirt a week in, was too wussy to get it wet, so i rubbed it off and left a small scratch. since then its almost worn smooth and is only seen pretty much by someone who knows where and what angle to find it (me!)
since then ive dropped it a few feet onto concrete. a couple smaller slips, and a few partial dunks. strong like bull

Oh the oleophobic coating? Wore a small patch out on my 5 after a year due to PIE controls. I always scratch my phones. Not much. Can hardly tell. I'm convinced its the cloth though. I'm going to blow on it first.

I've had the phone since 11/26 mostly in a case but no screen protector. I've tried a few tempered glass but either they didn't fit or feel right or caused proximity sensor issues. Screen is still flawless and I always use my shirt to clean it lol.

the funny thing is i found one, and the rep wanted to sell me it. so he decided to demo it for me. he took it out of the box, tried opening it(barely), then couldnt get it onto my n6. he just frustratingly tossed it to the side and said "nexus devices arent made to be covered by a case". so i giggled, then walked out. since then, ive got another nexus without any protection.
had mine 5 weeks few scratches on the back that's about it
since..
ever since it came out still naked. just put dbrand for me putting a case will make the n6 bigger or bulkier its only me. this phone is big putting a case will add more size even if slim case i bought one and ended taking it out..use the case for two days never went back. n6 is sexy naked.
I also had a glass screen protector on mine but it was messing up the light sensor and was doing my head in so I chucked it. I'm not keen on the current case options either so I'm just rocking a DBrand wood skin.

Had mine for about 3 weeks and drop it once from knee height, no real ding and glass was fine. No case so far but the phone does feel slippery so I got a slickwraps natural edition bamboo and rocking it for couple days now and adds a bit of a grip and no more smugee fingers...
I'm starting to have the paint wear away on the bottom right corner. I've never dropped it. I'm guessing it's from rubbing against the inside of my pocket. I still think denim would have a hard time doing that, but I don't know what else it could be.
Had my phone since December, used a case for one day but hated the feel, so removed it. Dropped it a couple of times from low heights and honestly I can't find any dents or scratches. The frame and screen seem to be very resistant.
Hi!
I am planning not to use any protective case/covers etc. accessories for my phone. Is it bad idea? Will Samsung S7 edge look like crap soon or it is scratch resistant and will keep nice look even after few months?
How does your phone looks like now after not using any protective covers? Could you post pictures and aprox time of usage?
Thank you, deff_ins
2 months - no protection , I'm carrying it in a pocket without other things like money or keys . No scratches at all , only fingerprints all over
Im a diehard screenprotector and case guy. Since I had been having so many problems finding a curved protector that sticks, and the ones that dont cover the edge looked like crap, I decided 2 months ago to go without a protector. I have a case that shows the edges well, and covers the frame nice.
After two months I finally have a 1/2 inch scratch on the face...nothing too bad and I will live with it...not sure how it happened but the glass has held up pretty well considering I am not a desk guy and am always using and doing things with my phone outside.
Overall Im surprised the glass has done well. That being said, and now that I have a scratch, I will be looking to get a protector again.

Well, good luck with living dangerously. I have my S7 Edge with the LED cover now for 8 months. During that time I dropped it 3 times. The first time the screen and digitizer were broken. The display replacement cost me Euro 260. 10 days after the repair, it dropped out of my pocket again. Invariably, it always lands on the screen because the LED cover flips open when it falls. Display glass cracked but digitizer still intact. After the first accident I had ordered a tampered glass screen protector from Hongkong. It arrived only 2,5 months later. When I finally got it and tried to fit it, half the display was unresponsive. When I tried to remove the glass protector the phone slipped out of my hand and dropped on the tiled kitchen floor. Guess what happened. Part of the display AND the glass protector shattered. The lucky part is, the upper right corner of the display which was cracked before got shattered. The display is still useable. I actally got used to the broken display. My hope is that in the new year the price for a new display might come down a bit. As I'm not planning to buy another expensive phone anytime soon, a second display replacement is probably the cheapest option.
Bottomline: Yes the S7E is a bloody fragile phone! Depending on the individual clumsiness, it is virtually impossible to assume that you will never drop it over an extended period. If you want to have solid protection you have to go for these hideous army style covers but they make the phone look like a monsterous thing. I like covers with functionality like the LED or S View covers but they only protect the edges and backside of the phone.
The Bottomline of the bottomline: Maybe I shouldn't have bought such an expensive and fragile phone in the first place. End of story. Cheers LJ
Back near camera cracked on mine even though I've never dropped it, had to put a skin on it to hide the crack. Also it has a mark on the main screen, suspect coinage in my pocket done that
Never used a case, I've had mine since two weeks after the release. I always carry it in my pocket with my keys and other stuff. Dropped it only once, no scratches cracks or any other damage.
Been using Carol Blue for 2 months. I slapped a dbrand skin on the back the 1st week so I can use it naked and not worry about back glass scratches.
At office and work, I go naked. Out and about, I put on spigen rugged case. Very easy to put on and off and slim enough and plenty protection.
The front screen now has few minor scratches on it. No idea how that happened. I'm very careful with my phone.
I just put armorsuit screen protector on it and it works PERFECT. loving the phone and how it feels in the hand. Amazing. I now have dbrand skin on back and screen protector on the front. Totally protected from scratches when going with no case at home and office.
i never ever used a case in my life. it hides the beautiful lines of the device
Take it from someone who has been through the process of having the screen replaced - use protection!
I dropped it on its face, from toilet height (yes, I was on the bog after a long night shift!) and before turning it over I just knew it was bad. You hear 30 seconds of cracking noises as they tear through the display glass slowly whilst you contemplate your stupidity at the 'oh s**t' moment you just found yourself in.
Cost me £50 in excess as I was insured luckily, however with no insurance you're looking at £200 ball park.
I actually had the LED case on at the time. That did naff all in protecting the screen. Flip cases really should have some sort of auto close feature! Might have been enough to save the screen if so!
I always thought about going without anything, but I love the led case to much. I don't know how so many people have broken theirs while also using this case, I've dropped it more times than I can count. Even especially since I typically keep the phone on my lap when driving, so I tend to open the door, stand up, and find it on the asphalt ground.
I still even have the square sticker on the back of my phone. No scratches, no breaks, perfect.
Update : just wanted to update my previous post with this new information. I ordered and received the ArmorSuit screen protector for my S7 Edge. I have never used a wet screen protector before and I have never found an edge screen protector that sticks or works either in the dry form or the tempered glass.
I watched the video on installation. it took me about 10 minutes to put it on. I let it air dry for another 15 minutes then using a hair dryer on low setting I got the sides to easily adhere to the screen. Left it overnight, put on my I-Blason edge case. I have never been so happy as I have with this screen protector on it looks amazing. Edges stick perfectly.
I'm glad to have my screen protected again and the case on ..I just don't think it's worth taking the chance with such an expensive device. I lived on the edge for a few months with nothing on it, but I'm glad I have something back on it now.

I wish I took a picture of the device I just returned. Dropped it and it fell on a rock. Ugly circular crack and a first the phone still functioned but after about a week my screen just went haywire and would only turn on after multiple power on and offs.
It was all bad lol
So I purchased a Skinomi full Techskin kit about $13, to wrap the sides and back of my Note 8. The application of it was pretty simple, there are videos online for it, on how to do it. The only weird thing about applying it is it pretty much doesn't stick at first when you place the solution on it, then as it dries it gets super sticky right away out of the blue. You can be moving it one second, then it just stays and is almost completely stuck on. You need to press down the edges and all and it takes about 45 minutes or less, but just keep revisiting it to press it down more. The back was ok, got some cloudiness (which they say is normal for a day or so) and maybe a couple of slight bubbles but I don't really care, it was mainly to prevent scratches. Attached are the pictures of what it looked like when I got it, and what it is like on the phone. You can feel it for sure, not as smooth as it transitions from one part to the other, but again, I got it to prevent scratches. I did not place the screen protector on it, because I was putting on tempered glass.
In addition you will see tempered glass, which I actually surprisingly feel like its good. No loss of feel at all, it just doesn't go all the way to the edges but the edge features all still work. Its a Luuvvit one, which I bought from amazon for about $11.00
Looks nice. Beats what I have on mine right now. Mine looks like a high 5 year old did it.

I'll actually post some better pictures tomorrow on it. Realized these are not as good as they were taken right after. I'm amazed how unnoticeable it is, really liking this purchase.
I have my skinomi ordered i put it on all my phones. Great protection from dirt and dust getting around case edges etc etc. Keeps them brand new looking
Ok here are some better daytime pictures and bubblesare gone now
And last one
I did mine too with a skinomi full body skin before putting it into my case. I always full body wrap every phone because.....Why not? Dirt ALWAYS makes it's way between a case and the body of a phone. The skin keeps the dirt off and keeps the body like new! The guy at T-Mobile didn't believe I had the S7 Edge for a year until he looked up my account!
Fyi I dropped it on concrete and asphalt literally over a hundred times.
I'm not using the skinomi screen protector though. My Zizo Bolt case came with a Tempered glass protector that seals on the edges, but I've been super impressed and will keep it on until it breaks. Zizo is an awesome company! No sensitivity loss and super clear. Also no rainbow or bubbling. Yes there's a small dot matrix pattern though ( UGH ) but it's not visible at all on the screen while it's on, even in the sunlight.
I had the bolt on my s7 edge too. I love the case and it held up just as good as any otter box defender which I've used on tons of other phones. Like I said, it's been dropped a lot! Lol
Oh and a heads up...... hit it with a hair dryer and let it sit a day before using any tight fitting case or you will peel it up as you put the case on. Been there and done that. Learned my lesson. I LOVE skinomi skins but I equally like the IQ Shield too. Both make good stuff. IQ SHIELD feels a hair less rubbery but both are great!

I always use skinomi screen protectors. Never got the full wrap since i always use a case.
My s8 plus, I have the skinomi screen protector and a rhionshield crash guard all works great together and the back of the phone doesnt touch so it never got scratched.
Order the same for my note 8. Im waiting for my crash guard to come in. probably at the end of the month, ill be caseless then then
And a tip is to lightly spray the phone. Then lay the protector on and push the bubbles out from the inside to the edge. Then run your fingers up and down the edges for a few minutes and it should stick. Then i let dry for 5mins and then rub everything again.
been doing that since the note 4 edge and has always work.

Trust me even with a case, use a full body wrap! It not only keeps dirt off but acts as another cushion for impact even with a good case. They are worth the money for our nearly 1000$ device lol

I did a blind test with my wifes phone before (she remove hers from one of her old phones. I believe the s7e)
You can tell which is skinomi and and which is bare. The bare is slicker.
But overall if its very smooth and people wouldnt know it was there. 100% clear and no gel or ruff feels to it. Ive been using them for years and to me there the best.
Also you can get a 2pack for around $7 ship so if one wears out you can just put the other one on.

SKinomi has been a weird brand for me. It gets decent reviews but sometimes people hate it. I always get Skinomi for all my phones, imported to Korea because they don't sell them here. I love how thick it is, compared to other "films", which means extra protection. I also like how after a while the solution just seems to have some kind of a chemical reaction with the film itself, and makes the film look very glossy and clear like .... actual glass. Once I get a Note 8 again, I will probably put dome glass on the front, and another layer of skinomi on top, and the back will only be protected by Skinomi. I swear by this stuff, it's in a different league from other films.

Ahh actually, yes it shows the s.Pen marks, so don't put one in the front. For the front, use Glass dome, for the back skinomi. THis is the only one I could find on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Prote...sr=8-1&keywords=skinomi+note+8+back+protector
Didn't believe it when I saw my screen. Fell from my shoulder after a call and landed on the wood floor in my horse. The zagg protector flew off and was about a foot from my phone. It was cracked all over originating in the corner and middle. My actual screen had a crack curving from the left top corner from edge to edge. Well anyone that has these watch out how you drop them. The screen protector won't stay on very well with the edge adhesive protector. Never buying them again. Apparently the defender fails at defending. Had otterbox for many years without any incident. Watch out people.
Damn that sucks. Sorry for your loss. Starting to wonder if even my bulky case with integral protector will do any good if an Otterbox failed you.
Does the Defender also leave the screen proud of the edges of the case?
Those stick on screen protectors do not work well with the edges. All the protectors ive tried that just stick on like that dont stay on for me for more than a week. Im currently rocking a whitestone dome with a spigen tough armor case and ive dropped this phone like 6 times so far. 2 Down my wooden stairs.
Sorry to heat that your phone didnt make the fall though Hopefully you can get it repaired or replaced....

No the case is higher than the screen. It dropped on the top left corner. The crack goes over the sensors up there. I'm with Verizon and asurion said they were backordered so no replacement. Plus it 200 for replacment
Those sticker PET films that I use are only good for scratches not drops, agreed. hence why I use a leather wallet style case.
OP sorry for your loss, hopefully Samsung will replace with a 300 bucks charge, I think thats the going rate here in teh USA for screen replacement from them?
that sucks sorry about that - can you upload a pic of the carnage and your setup? thanks

Wasn't intentional. But after my friend went through a similar thing with the same setup, I wanted to put out a PSA that got people's attention.
Just dropped mine yesterday. Wearing sweat pants with short pockets, my phone slipped out of my pocket after taking a seat, and fell to the floor, the edge of my N8 hitting the edge of a brick step. Thank God, my phone came out unscathed, with the exception of a broken Whitedome SP, and a slightly chipped 19.99 Official Samsung plastic cover protector.

Bought screen protector from Zagg.. within first week it started cracking ON ITS OWN just from being in my scrubs pocket. Sent that back and tried another thinking it was my fault.. nope the second one cracked on its own. Called verizon and got a credit they them sent me one of theirs and after 2 weeks my screen was full of lint and dirt and would barley stick to screen. I am now convinced anyone with a curved screen just better be extra cautious with their device because it's difficult to keep a screen protector on long... if only other box would .and the full defender case with glass protector attached like they did for previous devices
I bought my Galaxy Note 8 in September 2017. I have a SPECK Presidio Grip military grade case and later got the Otterbox Defender thinking it was the case Since purchasing the ZAGG $49.99 from Verizon in March 2018, I have had 3 screens replaced. 2 within one week's time as it also CRACKED ON ITS OWN! I am very careful with my phone, even went as far as purchasing a Michael KORS phone wallet. I agree with one of the other customers. It must be the curved screen and the Otterbox no longer come with a protective screen over the case.

Didn't believe it when I saw my screen. Fell from my shoulder after a call and landed on the wood floor in my horse. The zagg protector flew off and was about a foot from my phone. It was cracked all over originating in the corner and middle. My actual screen had a crack curving from the left top corner from edge to edge. Well anyone that has these watch out how you drop them. The screen protector won't stay on very well with the edge adhesive protector. Never buying them again. Apparently the defender fails at defending. Had otterbox for many years without any incident. Watch out people.

Mines also cracked with outter box defender ,I will never buy outter again
Sorry for your loss. Might want to consider SPIGEN for your case. Ive been using it for several phones for several years. Ive dropped them several times and the screen never cracked. I also used their tempered glass but I used Whitestone for Notw 8.

Otterbox commuter is still great, but yes I'd stay away from the Defender from now on (due to the hard inner shell design).
This has me worried; I'm using the Whitestone Dome with a standard Caseology case.. I've dropped my phone multiple times and I've had no issues save for the protector lifting on one corner at one point; I was considering a bulkier case- do you guys think it's still worth it?
