And SCRATCH goes the screen...

[gsxr150]

I have to laugh...my phone is only 5 days old. The first 5 days I babied it becuase I have no body protection, but on Saturday I put it in my wifes purse. OK, that was a bad-bad idea. A day later I noticed a nice little scratch on the screen... It's fairly deep but not all that long.

Anyhow, my last phones have made it 10-12 months with no scratches, so what are the odds of that! Ugg.

My GS2 had gorilla glass and there were no deep scratches, so this phone must have been in just the right place at the wrong time. Technically I could swich it out since I'm still under the 15 day period, but what's the point... I'd probably drop the new one on the way out of the store, haha.

That's the worst ... Phones are all a game of angles amd luck

screen protector is your friend, especially if you plan on putting it in a purse.

 

[majiklantrn]

Would you be able to toss a protector on there to hide the scratch?

 

[ibcop]

I've seen where the anti-glare screen protectors will hide minor scratches.

Yeah, it's not bad...I don't really like screen protectors. BUT! I was wondering about this one.

I know, doesn't it! Well I'm already scratched so I guess I don't care anymore...just kidding.

I actually preordered one of those. Just waiting for it to ship then I will post up my opinion.

lol - I dropped my phone the day I got it and scuffed it up but what is nice is that I don't worry about it anymore, lol. And I for one, HATE screen protectors.

i got the HD invisible shield, barely notice it there.

 

[lbkiml]

Well atleast you got the phone drop all over with. Now you don't have to baby it and now you can use it normally.

I bought one of these to see how I liked it, and I love it. Will be ordering a couple more so when I do ding it up, I will be switching it out. Not a bad price and free shipping:

A matte finish would be nice. Not really fond with the glossy look.

Yup and everyone made fun of me in my thread about walking out of the store with a scratch on mine. Im getting a replacement phone. it will be here tomorrow. I ordered Amazon.com: SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy S3 Steinheil Ultra Nano (3-PACK) Screen Protector Cover Film for ALL 3G/LTE Models [CLEAR]: Cell Phones & Accessories
last week cause they did away with some other model. and now they show a curved one on preorder? doesnt matter to me cause i have a otter box commuter which protects the edges of the phone where the protector doesn't reach. and i get full body protection. Sad to drop a new phone and have chunks taken out of it. Full protection is the way to go.

 

[gsxr150]

How did you get a replacement? Insurance already?

 

[9ks2k]

I ordered the phone at a retail store. and told them it came that way. the next day i called them.

 

[FlatTopFoley]

and his is why I put the screen protector on after unboxing mine.

This. I had a screen protector on mine before in left the Verizon store lmao

 

[gsxr150]

Verizon swapped out my phone today. New phone had a protector before I walked out the door. Did it right this time. FYI- whatever screen protector they use is great. You can hardly tell it is there and it's very smooth.
