Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Already scratched the metal...

Sorry dude. No case? Expect cosmetic damage eventually.

To say I am disappointed with them(Samsung) using metal is an understatement. Already scratched the bottom of my phone slightly and never had anything in my pocket other then my phone and it wasn't even a tight pocket

I can totally understand what you're saying, I'm having the same issues unfortunately. The metal does scratch very easily and I must say I have taken very good care of it, I know I have. Note 4 is almost perfect, except the quality of the design, specifically the metal frame. Get a strong rubber plastic cover, rather than a hard/metal case, it'll scratch the phone even more whilst inserting or removing the phone from the case.

Oh yeah, if you're super upset about the scratches, you might be able to get it polished. Go to your local mobile repair stores or something.

This is why I got rid of the note 4. Imagine what this phone will look like after a year? Great phone, great design except the metal frame.

There's several things about the Note 3's design that I prefer to the Note 4's. The rounded glass that makes a tempered glass screen protector more of a challenge. The easy-scratch metal. It's enough to seriously diminish any desire I may somehow still have for the Note 4. Especially given the perfect condition of my 6-month-old Note 3 that is only through half of it's life (for me anyways).

It's annoying for sure but not enough to sell it imo

Guys chill. Stop bullying him, it's true. Android Authority (was it?) States this problem. Even my note 4 has some (MINORRR) scratches already

Sorry to hear that. If that was the case then I would have gotten an exchange immediately. But I do recommend a case, especially one that is soft on the inside since those edges seem delicate.

Lol I've gone through 3 . 2 with t-mobile and was exchanged for other reasons and now with Verizon . While annoying I rather not have the case . The note 3 never had an issue and now is with this metal ....shouldn't have to change because of it. Could of just painted all the metal imo

i am using a diztronic full matte black case and i love it!! first its the thinnest thing out there about and there is a lip so you can put it face down without the screen touching the surface.its also non slippery and adds just the right amount of grip but still easily removed from a pocket...and its $9 !!

It doesn't look like it protects the bottom front edge. I like the case though.

Re: Already scratched the metal...

Really pleased with the build quality of the Note 4 so far. I had the Z3 for about a week of careful usage and the screen suffered a number of scratches but the screen on the Note 4 seems much more durable so far.

The metal band is holding up well so far too but that's a minor point for me. As long as the screen remains durable, I can live with scratches on the metal.

Tempered glass screen protector?

Tempered glass screen protector?

Not as yet....but it's on my Christmas list.

I'm fairly careful with my phones and I was extremely disappointed with how the Z3 scratched up so easily and quickly.

 

[Haalcyon]

I use a Tech 21 case with a Zagg tempered glass screen protector and that combo has really kept my Note 3 in pristine condition. Very happy with that.

It doesn't look like it protects the bottom front edge. I like the case though.

it does protect all 4 sides that cutaway pic is to show how raised it is ugh cant remove top pic its a note 2 bottom 1 is correct phone .. you can lay it face down and none of the screen will touch surface

I have a Slick Wrap. I don't recommend using the front, because it covers the sensor so the screen doesn't light up when its supposed to. The Slick Wrap does have strips to cover the top, sides, and bottom though. It allows me to put on and take off cases as much as I want without scratches. The holes in the wrap are PERFECT for my Sprint model so I dont have to worry about the charging port or headphone jack scratching or chipping. It doesn't cover the mic holes or speaker on the back either. So all in all, the only problem is that I cant use the front piece. For me, the pros outweigh the cons.

SGN4 :-D

Well, all this talk...I went and traded my Note 3 for Note 4 a couple of hours ago (had to pay off my Next). The Note 4 comes with a plastic protector on the metal. I told them to leave it on, thank you very much. ...then had them install Body Guardz tempered glass and then put the phone in a Body Glove case (until I can get a Tech 21 for it).

I expect that the phone will stay just fine with this but will check the metal occasionally for scratches.

Now I have a reasonable camera on the phone and more.

Happy Birthday to me.

Thanks. I loved my Note 3...just took it for granted with all its general excellence. I know the 4 is better but must admit that so far it's not night and day better.
