Really upset about the scratch situation

[DoyouFanBoyBro]

With all the threads going around about how sensitive this thing is to scratches I had no choice but to get a case and TRY keywords try to find somewhat of a usable screen protector. I'm currently using that hardly covers anything at all....

I'm going to give it a week for something usable to show up on the market that covers even the edges , if I can't find anything I'll go naked....and if I get one scratch I'm taking it back to the store.

I wanted to enjoy the beauty of this phone without it being damaged so easily. For the price tag this should not even be a thing. I could go out and buy a decent laptop for this price.

I bought a Zagg HD Dry set of covers and Verizon put them on for me...covers edge to edge AND covers the BACK of the phone for protection. $29.99 I think US. Then I stuck mine in an OEM case from Verizon that protects well but leaves the dges available. Feeling fairly well protected here.

Zagg dry covers the edges ?? I'll check it out.

I have the Zagg screen protector but the edge of my case meets the edge of the screen protector and keep pushing it up.

Good luck on returning a phone you failed to protect and scratchd lol.

I'm leaving the stock protector on until I can find something decent. That stock protector does not play well with the S Pen. :-\

I have an iq shield with the unicorn beetle pro and it's the perfect combination. The case actually holds the edges of the screen cover down. However if i take the case off there might be issues.

I hate to say this but I would wait a week and then try to get an exchange and tell them the battery seems faulty or it keeps overheating or something like that. They should exchange for any reason without a damaged phone within the 14 days but it doesn't seem that simple.

I have ordered the s view cover so will be using that more often than not. If you are careful I'm sure the screen will be fine. That video was a guy trying to harm the phone..not real world usage.

How is it that this thing scratched and it has gorilla glass 5 are you kidding me it should be resistant to them. If you all have this already it's a failure on samsung or corning

Has anyone tried a old remedy.... Ghost armor? Yes they still exist at least here in Arizona. I may try for the screen.

Don't get a case or screen protector. Just spring for Samsung's protection plan. Use it full tilt, if it gets beat up or scratches, then it "gets broken" - pay the deductible and get a new one. Sell the new one if something better is out (sell as new, max profit).

Or drop the same amount on cases and screen protectors with no damage warranty.

It's really up to you.

It really doesn't. It's why I went out and got a Zagg damn quick.
