Hello,

I have scratched my screen, i take care and we have Gorilla Glass 3.

So, is there an original screen protection on the Nexus 5?

It was happened to me with a Xperia.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

s4 and n5 are both gorilla glass 3, shouldn't be a difference. probably just bad luck in the first 2 days

Hi mate,

There is no such official screen protector available :)
Google provides with nexus 5 cases :)

Thanks all but it's not my question. If the screen scratchs easily, I think that Google stick a pre-installed screen protection, isn't it?

pre installed screen protector is not really a protector, just a piece of plastic which can't resist scratches much. you're better off with a 3rd party screen protector.

And LG coats the screen with a proprietary layers of oleophobic coating, etc etc during manufacturing so that is what you touch when you use the phone naked. Also this doesn't offer protection.

I think I know what you are asking about.

Sony Xperia phones come with a "mandatory" Anti-shatter film installed on the screen which Sony expects you to keep on forever. However, this film is prone to scratches which is why they recommend putting a screen protector on top of the film. If you try to remove the film (which is glued onto the screen), what's left is raw glass (no coating). The glass is not gorilla glass. Removing the film also voids warranty. I bet a lot of people didn't know that when they buy Xperia.

As for OP's question, there is no such "screen protection" on the Nexus. Only the Sony brands do this.

I know what you're talking about. It's the film that Sony puts on their devices that can't really be taken off without a knife. Apparently that scratches really easily but the screen underneath doesn't. No, the N5 doesn't have anything like that, and yes, it does scratch very easily.

i know s4 and n5 both use gorilla glass 3 but my nexus 5 is still getting more and more scratches where my s4 doesn't have one there really is a difference in the quality no one can tell me any different, because if their wasn't there would be no scratch on my n5 as i tram them exactly the same put them in the same places and i have had my s4 for a lot longer
