To those who think you don't need a screen protector for S8

[Gary02468]

Yes you do. Unless [you're] okay with fine scratches.

No, I don't. Sorry about your scratches, but what they show is that you need a screen protector, not that I need a screen protector. When I examine my screen under bright light, I do not see those marks.

where do you get the Samsung one?

I've bought them from my local Samsung Experience Store and from eBay.

I'm in the Uk.

I've been told repeatedly that jewelers cannot buff out scratches I would love to know that the opposite was true.

 

[bembol]

I'm okay with fine scratches. I will be keeping this phone 5 more months max.

+1

Another point I forgot to make when I started a thread on sometimes it's good when you don't have a choice.

I'm not about to put this under a microscope...under a light.

armorsuit is awesome and affordable

$50.00 for a plastic screen protector??

Zagg saphire defense curve did a great job.

The glass is not scratching. It's the Oleophobic coating.

How do you know that it's even possible for the coating to exhibit visible scratches? Source, please?

Everyone will see these eventually over time if they look hard enough.

How do you know? I've been told that about each of my phones, and it simply hasn't happened.

Mine is in and out of my pocket a lot during the day, I am pretty rough on my phones, I don't use a screen protector and have no scratches

 

[SlippySlimm]

No case. No screen protector. No scratches whatsoever. Had the phone since launch. What are you people doing with your phones??

 

[Nubwy]

Not a single scratch of any kind, been using it without a protector 99% of the time. This is what happens OP, when you keep your phone in a pocket without making sure it's free of coins, keys and dirt.

 

[rushmore]

Zero scratches on my 8+ and had since launch. Even fine scratches would stand out with Gear VR.

Belt loop case FTW! Nerds rejoice!!

 

[nycundrgrnd]

I had a case on since my 8+ came out of the box. Nothing on the screen. When I put my phone in a pocket (pants, jacket) it is THE ONLY item in that pocket. Simply makes NO sense to force a thunderdome cage match between a $1,000 phone and some keys. And who TF has pockets full of abasive sand! Might I suggest one stop crawling around on the ground or pouring fistfuls of gravel in your pockets. Hell try turning the pockets out at laundry time...

which screen protector should I get

Best in my opinion, this or the film one

I'd do rhino shield, $35 for front and back.

I'd do rhino shield, $35 for front and back.

That rhinoshield tempered glass got some pretty bad reviews. Do you use it? If so, hows it holding up. Ive seen reports of it popping off really easily.

 

[doohsun]

i use liquid nano it help prevents scratches looks great

 

[jjinal]

I never use screen protectors. Don't plan on starting now.

 

[flyingkytez]

Was that phone put in somewhere with keys? Looks like key marks on the screen.

Put in same pocket with 2 phones. The other phone probably scratched it.

It just take one accidental scratch. Might not happen now, but eventually will.

Zagg saphire defense curve did a great job.

Are you referring to the one zagg claims has real sapphire but is really a plastic screen protector they're selling for 50 bucks?
