Asking to those who had a scratch on the screen and didn't wanna pay 200 odd bucks to replace the LCD and Digitizer, have you bought any of those third party front outer glass available on eBay for around 20 bucks? If you have done it, does the S Pen work, or is the glass Gorilla or just standard one?
I have a scratch on mine, very tiny, but it's in the middle of the phone, that's why it's irritating me, but I will no way spend 1/3 of the phone's price to replace the LCD and Digitizer especially when I believe the LCD is not scratched as it is not deep.
Thanks in advance.
I would live with it if I were you. It is highly likely that no matter how skilled, you will end up with some imperfection that will be just as bad as the scratch. You will also void your warranty. For a small scratch it isn't worth the money or time when you can't be guaranteed of a perfect result. Also consider that the cheap eBay screens are usually not genuine and probably not even gorilla glass so will scratch up more easily leaving you worse off than you are now.

I wouldn't suggest changing the glass for a scratch. Alternatively, you could just get a glass screen protector that covers the entire front glass; it will hide the scratch, and its glass!
However, if you do still decide to go along with changing the screen then check the link below on my signature.

Hmm! I would not do it by myself. Was thinking about a professional.
And I highly doubt the front glass is Gorilla.

Yeah, thanks. I have heard that some screen protectors do make some tiny scratches invisible, maybe it's right, protectors like Martinfield or something, don't remember the name exactly. You have any advice, brands with a link would be appreciated.
And thanks for the link on your siggy.
PS: Didn't notice that you mentioned Glass protectors! Well won't that make the screen less responsive or something? Will the S Pen work as it does normally? Honestly I don't have any idea or even heard of Glass protectors for Note 2.

Mate Wiki isn't "proof" for anything. It's the last reliable source if anything.
I think it probably has GG to be honest, because otherwise I'm not sure how it even passes the moderate scratch tests - if it's plain glass surely it should immediately scratch? And even S3's with Gorilla glass could scratch like crazy if a grain of sand gets in there.

My links say that Note 2 does NOT have Gorilla Glass. Say, not prove. You might be a Samsung fanboy, but I am not. Why sites like GSMArena, Phonearena, Corning doesn't mention that it has GG? They don't have any personal problem with Note 2, so?

Are you the type of person who always has to be correct? If you wanted to be 100% correct in your post I suggest you read up in writing etiquette or even behavioural science . Was a little harsh and very defensive.
This thread is going south.
Needless to mention, in the absence of any type of confirmation from Corning, you are more than likely right with your assumptions.

Depending where your at I would google search repair centers and call around for the best price. If that doesn't work perhaps Craigslist? I met a really cool tech guy off there and he works on mainly iphones but knows a lot about android devices as well.

It isn't about the quality, the screen is curved in the edges so it becomes extremely weak there, one unlucky corner drop that avoids the plastic bezel and hits the screen and welcome cracks.
Now i dropped mine many times and found that the phone drops on it's back most of the time and survives, but i almost broke it when it dropped on the side, luckily it hit the bezel and there was no damage, not even a scratch/bend.
So yep.. luck.

Yeah, gorilla glass can still scratch. They have a video somewhere explaining the differences between their glass and others. The main difference is the scratches remain smaller/thinner and don't gouge as deep, often times to where you don't even notice them. They are there though!

$17.90 for front glass, not bad. I have a surface scratch on mine that has been bugging me, might be cheap enough to be worth the trouble. Has anybody had any experience ordering from that website?

I know its tricky, but i've done it before(heat is my friend). Once you do it once it actually isn't bad especially because the nexus has the slight lip around the screen which helps you big time with positioning the glass. I'm just confused if the two glass cutouts are the same or not.
So I still have broken glass that is finally starting to fall out whilst the cracks have gotten larger, no thanks to my two year old who loves to throw toys.
Has anyone seen the glass replacement, not the digitizer, last long term?
I'm trying to hold out until October but concerned that I'm going to lose the screen entirely soon.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
My phone has EXACTLY the same crack pattern!! And I know how bad it feels.
Is this some design issue with the GNex stress points?
I asked the Samsung Care Center and they asked around $185 for the replacement (glass and digitizer)
That is more than half of the phone cost. :crying:
(Edit: They said as the front glass, the digitizer and the lcd are glued together, it is impossible to get a seperate glass replacement)
Luckily I had a screen guard on so the glass pieces are not falling apart yet.
You can get the glass and ask a trustworthy maintenance guy for helping replace it.
I haven't tried yet. But might try soon. :fingers-crossed:

I think you answered your own question. It's still glass. It will get scratched. Screen protectors get scratched. Much cheaper to pull and replace than the glass itself.

You're right, it has gorilla glass 2
Anyways, I broke the screen on my first one about two weeks after I had it. (3 foot fall, screen down onto concrete.) not too many phones can survive that lol. Had to do an insurance replacement. $130 bucks ain't cheap.
Didn't have protection of any kind on it. I highly recommend getting an invisible shield hd. They work great, doesn't affect screen clarity and the s pen works great on it.

Gorilla Glass (1 or 2) isn't shatter proof. It's highly scratch-resistant due to being extremely hard. If anything, being so brittle, would make it more likely to shatter verses a less hard glass. IMO, of course.

I don't know if GG is shatter proof or not, but I dropped my S2 at least a dozen times, and some are horrible falls, like twice it fell from 1st floor to ground via all the stairs, and it didn't even scratched, forget about shattering. And now, Note 2 has an updated version of GG, at least the spec says that way, but it's much more less robust than S2. I've seen 10 topics at least already, that Note 2 screen is shattered from a 3 or 4 ft fall, which is bad and shouldn't have happened.

I see that some had shuttered glass after small drops, it's very unfortunate but we have to keep in mind that this phone is a little over 180gr and with virtually no bezel so it's probably gonna lose every time it encounters the ground.

Like I said if whoever wanna make themselves feel better by all means do so. I rather trust the website the some 3rd party website. And if so called outdated it won't publish oneX+ and lumia920 which came after the note2. And the bottom of the official corning site is updated to 2013. Judge urself. Live in denial. Period.

It is you who is in denial.
Your argument means nothing. Both the LG nexus 4 and optimus G were released in November 2012 same as the One X+ and Lumia920.
The official page for both on google's and LG's websites state they have gorilla glass, yet neither appear on the Corning list.

According to your logic, both Google and LG are lying because Corning does not explicitly state that Gorilla glass is present on either of them??
You say you rather trust that one website over some 3rd party website. Fair enough. But 16 different websites??

Small scratch on my screen about a half inch in length. Are there any scratch remover solutions that are good with the gorilla glass? Or am I doomed to a scratch on my screen for the rest of my phone's life? Any help appreciated!
I never heard of scratch removers for a phone, it's a scratch. Best thing to do is get a screen protector because most likely you didn't have one on.

I don't they have a product like that, that actually works. I bought this scratch remover on amazon called like iDrops or something it claimed that it would remove most scratches off of my iPhone's plastic backing but it didnt work, and I lost 9.99 lol. Gorilla Glass is way overrated.. I cracked my first S3's screen and I have a couple scratches on my new one already. And its not like I throw my phone around or anything I took off the screen protector for like a couple of days and there were already a couple small scratches... but yeah I don't think they have anything like it haha.

Ok Thanks for the replies, guess I'll have to finally get a screen protector. Never had one for any of my phones. I did hear they hide scratches on the screen pretty well. Not sure how true that is but oh well.
Yeah depends which ones you get there's so many to choose from. Many are overpriced but really what's going to help in the end is getting the thought out of your head that there's a scratch there and it's gone lol. I'm very picky too so it would he extremely hard, and yeah I personally think the first gorilla Glass is actually better than the second.
