Really samsung? scratches already on my galaxy note 7

[Kelly Kearns]

If I find a thread with consistently good ratings of any kind of screen protector with a case on I will buy it for sure. I would prefer glass but happy with plastic or anything else that stays on and doesn't further diminish screen sensitivity.

I can say for sure the Zagg VZW puts on sucks

You aren't going to find anything in life with consistently good ratings in anything.. Just sayin'

Well is there one you recommend. You're unusually knowledgeable

I haven't seen one for sure yet. My phone isn't here yet, but I'm going without a screen protector when it gets here. I saw someone post a thread earlier about one that looked like it might work and the case they used with it.

Let me see if I can find that.

Oh I've seen the occasional good recommendation. I just can't find anyone that's consistently good.

Can't find the thread now, but it was one of these protectors.

And this case because it didn't touch the screen protector.

Now I don't know anything about this screen protector, but a member posted about it and had pictures.

 

[recDNA]

Thanks. Very kind of you! I already have a case but no harm in trying. I have a clear kickstand case. One good review was for the one at ATT also.

Here is the exact link for the Note 7 one. Only comes in 3 colors on the front it seems.

You might want to check the reviews on the products on the link above, some that have been around since the Note 7 is new.

I usually install the screen protector with a pair of pliers, smooth out the bubbles with an ice pick, then ease the edges with sandpaper. Why? How do you do it?

I prefer to use a wet application technique with a slurry of hydrofluoric acid and diamond dust.

Points for use of the word "slurry".

Day 2, noticeable scratch on bottom right quadrant of backing on silver note 7, i didn't get any scratches on my nice note 5

This is so messed up Samsung! I had my Note Edge and S7Edge without screen protectors and never had problems with scratches. They were good as new seriously when jumped and return the phones to T-Mobile. Today, I accidentally left my phone in the car and my wife took it with her. Put it in her bag together with her S7 Edge and as soon as I saw my phone, scratch!!! My wife's S7 Edge had no spec on it, nothing. My top of the line Note 7 phone with inferior screen. This is so frustrating!!!

Yeah, I'm definitely holding off on buying this until Samsung/Corning address these issues. I'm extremely OCD about scratches and I'd be so pissed off if it happened to me. I never drop my phones so I could care less about the supposedly better shatter resistance of GG5.

Could you post a picture, please? Id like to see how bad these are on each phone.

Well... maybe in hindsight they tipped it a little bit in the wrong direction..

but...

What are some of the first videos getting posted when a phone drops? PHONE DROPS!! (har har)

Those silly drop tests burn up the youtubes as soon as a phone gets in peoples' hands. And if a phone shatters, ERMAGHERD!!!! PHONEZ BRAKE! and the videos get a TON of hits, blog posts, you name it. I remember a well-known podcast host lamenting about his S7 that shattered when it slid out of his pocket as he was sitting on the ground.

From a risk mitigation standpoint, GG5, if it is indeed more shatter-resistant, is the better option. Surface scratches typically do not affect operation, and they can be effectively eliminated by adding a screen protector. Whereas a shattered screen is pretty much toast...

So what are we left with here? You gotta wrap it before you tap it.

Right, put on a screen protector.. I wonder how that screen protector will look like after getting your Note 7 with water resistant feature under water.

Have any of you contacted Samsung Plus about this?

If reports are done, when there is a certain amount it triggers an automatic internal investigation at Samsung.

Do you have a link to where to file these?

You have to use your Samsung Plus app, should be pre-loaded. If not, get it in the Play Store. FYI use this for all Samsung contact, this is very different than the 800 Samsung we are used to.

You have to use the video chat option, but you do not have to turn on your camera if you don't want to.

This is a new department Samsung has started. It is customer care and technical support in one building and they are more specialized. It is not the call center type atmosphere.

If an agent isn't helpful, get their name, it will be on your screen and ask for a Supervisor to call you.

The nice thing about this, if you don't get a name and you want to complain, they can track down the operator you talked to and they have the video.

Maybe so but it is a weaker edition of the gg5. It doesn't have the same strength as the front being that the back is scratched easier and gets cracked first. Irregardless of what type of gorilla glass it is, glass is glass and glass will break and scratch. That's why these phones need to be in cases and the user should not be surprised that their phone scratched or cracked. Glass will break/scratch no matter how strong it is

So now there's different versions of GG5? lol this is becoming hilarious.

Wait- is it true? ;-)
