Most people are complaining about micro scratches to the oleo coating. Even if a phone has a diamond screen it would most likely have an oleo coating and that will still scratch.

Seriously? How could you scratch this thing? Sure, I don't put it in the same pocket as my keys but that's because the n5 is a big honking phone! My pockets aren't big enough to hold both.

I treat my Nexus the same way I've treated my last four phones and my old Palm PDA -I put them in my pocket. I throw them on the bed at night, toss them on the front seat of my car, whatever. My favorite method of cleaning the screen? I wipe it off on my jeans. Vigorously. It hasn't scratched, and neither did any other device I've owned that had Gorilla Glass, regardless of the version.

I treat mine the same way you do. I was actually wiping the screen on my jeans as I read your post. I also do not have any scratches on the screen.

Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector Is The Best! (A Few Other One Are Great Too) I Will Never Have A Phone Without A Tempered Glass Protector and a Case. Even If You're Super Careful One Small Bump Can Screw A Screen Up And It Will Eventually Happen. TP Glass Is A Great Way To Have A HD Clear And Protected Screen. It's Just Like The Glass On Your Phone, Feels Like Nothing's Even Their.

.... is that how you write as well? I can't imagine it being very convenient..... nor very good with typing speed when you're using the shift key for the first letter of every freakin word. I just tried doing it for a couple words in a row, and not only was the grammar nazi in me wanting to bust out of my head, but It just felt impossible to do anywhere near quickly.

As for the whole "one small bump can screw a screen up and it will eventually happen" bit..... i'm at about year 5 or 6 on various smartphones without a scratch, knick, or crack (not including 2 years on my Motorola Q9 Global that also was defect free). I like those odds.

Seriously, along with making one sound incredibly stupid, it's a colossal waste of time.

One scratch is usually all it take to lose all interest in using my phone for picky users like me it's cheaper buying a ten dollar screen film than a new glass

Both these made me chuckle. LOL

Capitalize every word? What a colossal waste of time and plain wrong. It makes you look ridiculous. Someone had to tell you.

Lose interest in my phone cause of a scratch? LOL

Just....wow.

Just let me know when you decide to trash yours. I've got a few people here who can give it a forever home.?

I never said I'd trash it especially when whole front screen replacement with all small parts is around 40$ shipping in. I repair rather than trashing things it's more productive when my devices are too worn out I buy new screens and back covers bezels etc replace them and then put em on craiglist...

well after about 4 month of usage without screen protection, there are some scratches, but you really have to look for it (while holding against a source of light)

qwahchees · Mar 12, 2014

Been using it for 2 months, no scratches here.

francescobabbaro · Mar 12, 2014

I've been using this fantastic smartphone for 3 months, I haven't a screen protector, but my screen is perfect. My friend's one is scratched.

Sorry for my bad English.
