Gorilla Glass 4. Scratches on Note 5.

[Carlos Federico Lopez Spindola]

Alright, I know it's an old thread, nevertheless it's naver late for a good advice.

This has happened to me also, the same thing. So I know that Note 5 screen scratchs easily!

Now to the point. What I'm going to tell you is the same thing I'm telling myself as I think is the best thing to do in this matter, even though I came here trying to not accept it.

Do not buy screen protectors, it's silly! It's enough to be cautious enough as to give the phone more than 1 year of nice cosmetic feeling and looking. You are going to change the phone in what? 1 year? 2 years?

Think about this. If you think you need to protect the screen, you are going to be unconsciously thinking that you do not deserve the direct feeling of your fingers to your toy's screen, the direct look of your eyes to that nice display. Heck, your are not going to be fully enjoying the phone by its feeling and by the image as it's meant to be, just because you think you can damage your "expensive" toy any time soon.

Think it's not expensive and you will have the money to change is as soon as the new one comes out, think it's expensive and you are going to find yourself limiting unconsciously your money perceptions.

The toy, as everything in life, wears out. So enjoy it as it is! You won't regret it. Small scratches? OK, do not care of them, the screen will look and feel always better against any protector you may put on it.

I've always use a Screen protector and UAG case for the last 6 yrs on my phone's and never have one problem!

I carry mine in my pocket most the time, no screen protector, never a scratch on my screen. My cats walk and sit on it, one takes selfies, I turn it upside down on tables and desks, I've dropped it once.

Not a single scratch.

This is exactly why I don't leave the store without a glass screen protector and case on my devices. I don't care if the protector or case gets scratched as its easily replaced

Here's my "daily-use" comparison between my Galaxy S5 (3 years old, Gorilla Glass 3) and my Galaxy S7 Edge (3 WEEKS old, Gorilla Glass 4). The pictures say it all. https://twitter.com/mastixmc/status/814040040166871040

I used JeTech ballistic glass screen protectors on the first two Note 5's... not a single scratch. On the next two Note 5's under warranty and extended warranty, Verizon gave me the first VZ glass protector for five bucks and the second for free. No scratches on the glass at all.

I would not leave the store without having one of the techs install some type of high quality ballistic glass. These phones are very expensive!

I use tempered glass screen protector. Never naked

Tempered glass on most of my devices (Surface 3, Tab S 10.5, Note 5). I like the feel, and I've had drops in the past where the main glass would have cracked if not for the tempered glass absorbing some of the impact. Fine point impact (a single grain of sand on a tabletop) will destroy glass much easier than a hammer.
