Does a Gorilla glass in anyway prevent scratches on the screen ? If not, what type of screen protector is best such that it doesn't take away any brightness or clarity of the screen ?

Never used screen protectors on my last P1 and my current P6. IF you're going to use any screen protectors make sure its military grade like the ones sold at zagg.com
But if its just a simple plastic protector? don't bother, it will just get scratched by normal stuff that would not scratch the gorilla glass.
:highfive:
on my old S2 I tried various screen protectors, and most were cheap rubbish, but tried a media devil magic screen one, slightly more expensive, but well worth it.
they've just released one for the P6 and just like the one I used before its excellent, perfect fit and very easy to put on, and no bubbles first time
Can't post a proper link, but google it, or you can get them on amazon.
From my reading, Gorilla glass is scratch resistant. And P6 uses the Gorilla glass 2. There is toughness test of it on youtube. But despite all that it isnt 100% scratch proof. So I would have to look for the protector. I would miss the real thing
I run through my cheapest screen protectors ever but they were pretty cheap on ebay, but it was so worse I had to put it off bcz it didn't looked nice anymore...
Now I'm without screen protector and it's much smoother surface and not have seen any scratch yet for almost a month using it and sticking it in my pockets...
But I think I will buy me another good screen protectors to be sure no scratch will come on the screen bcz I heard it will get scratches with sand and stuff...
had various device with gorilla glass before, iphone, galaxy s3 and s4 some from sony etc etc never used screen protectors of any kind and never got scratches. only thing to worry about is sand and stone. those will go trough the glass as a knife trough butter
Bought this one , yesterday :
ES3 0.6mm Premium Real Tempered Glass Film Screen Protector For Huawei Ascend P6
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321188169415?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I'll report next week , when it arrives
Well I would say the screen of P6 does not require any screen protector...because the gorilla screen it has is quite resisting one to scratches and more over the screen protector might disturb the touch experience...so not so much worries to use P6 without any screen protector...
Would screen protectors significantly help protect the screen glass during drops ?
@pvillasuso, any feedback on that purchase?

Just got a scratch, I feel depressed. It's a small one, made by something that was in my pocket, dunno what it was. - Sure hope a screen protector will hide it!

I feel you :crying:
Thankfully I got one screen protector free along with the casing I brought. So I have that for now. But i am worried about drops because if the screen breaks, it is going to cost a heck lot of money to get it replaced. So i am still wondering if a tempered glass screen protector would be full proof against that, in which case i would buy one.
I don't mind falls, my warranty will replace then. Waiting for my screen protector, coming in 2 weeks.

I use GreatShield protector and so far so good. Applies very easy and fits perfectly. Didn`t experience something to complain about. Highly recommended. :good:

When I bought this vibrant used, it already has a screen protector. Either the previous owner applied it wrong or the screen protector was awful! The colors on the screen were completely washed out and it removed from the beauty of the SAMOLED
Buy a realook.
No, and I've had mine for a few months and still can't see any scratches on it.
I'm running Ghost Armor and I love it.
i bought a 3 pack of clear screen protectors on ebay. they cost $5 for all three and look amazing. They also feel really slick on the fingers. Colors are great on my samoled. DONT buy a mirror screen protector! They suck bad,,,
I second the realook. Kinda of a pain to install. 1 spec of dusts will ruin the look. But worth it. Looks awesome.

I've had my phone since July and have gone naked since September and the screen still looks good as new! I keep it in my pocket at times and sometimes in a holster, but all I have on it at all times is a hard-rubber case.
I do not use a screen protector. If I find one that is nearly invisible then I will use one.
I do. I have tried BodyGuardz, Zagg's and Realook and i would recommend Realook if you choose to go with one, you wont even notice that there's a screen protector there.

It does offer some protection against minor scratches but doesn't full protect your screen, personally I use a reallook screen protector and it works wonderfully. No color or.image distoetion thar I can see and I've been using it since.october now.

I was thinking ghost armor. Now with otterbox coming out with a vibrant model ill wait till then. I used a crap protector from walmart and it was fine for a while. I went to tmobile and the store help saw my screen and thought that I had messed it up. After explaining to him what it was he said that I didn't need one cause of the gorilla glass, and I haven't had one on sense then. Saying that it is completely scratch resistant is kind of a lie, as if I look hard enough I can see a very very fine scratch in the lower corner of my phone. You have to look real hard and get the light just right.

i used a 5-pk i got from ebay... lol i dont understand the reason on buying the higher end ones,but to each his own. i'm not that big of a visualphile to spend that kind of money on screen protectors....
and gorilla glass is MORE scratch RESISTANT instead of scratch PROOF. Big difference.
I've kept a skinomi on mine since I bought it in august and it's barely noticeable. Doesn't changes the color or brightness, but does make the screen just a tad less slick, but I got used to that in a week. Lifetime warranty too.
invisible shield is what i use, works great and feels great
I'm using this http://www.stealthguards.com/index.php/cellphones/samsung-vibrant-full-body-protection.html. They're free, you just pay shipping. I love mine. Can't tell it's there at all. I didn't use the one for the back though as I have my phone in a hard case.
i had ghost armor installed on my phone when i first got it and i hated it. every little speck of dust and lint from my pocket got stuck on the coating edges. also the dude at the place i got it installed at told me that if there are any problems with it after it dried all the way to just come back and they would reapply it for no charge. needless to say, they didnt apply it correctly the first time and i went back. they tried to charge me another $25. me and my friend (who also got it applied and had issues) told him to go **** himself.

Just as long as you don't carry razorblades and sharp rocks in your pockets like the other users here.
I am thinking of getting a screen protector for my moto g. I know it has gorilla glass 3, but i hate scratches on the screen so much I am still considering giving it a bit more protection. Had a look on amazon, not a lot of choices. In fact this seems to be the only good one. It has no reviews, so thought i'd share it here and get some opinions.
PS: Am i being too weird? Is the screen already safe enough? let me know
Clear protector: link
Antireflex protector: link
It will be my first smart phone, so I got the flip case/cover for the all around protection, but yeah, if you just want it for the screen, I guess it's an OK choice. Though I've read some people don't like the feel of those protectors.
My Dad has a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman and it just has a "Scratch-resistant glass" and it has no protection at all it has been 2 years but there is not even a single scratch on it and I know how rough he uses the phone so there is no need for extra protection
Watch the scratch test video! They used even a knife but the screen was like new

I am just a bit of a freak when it comes to scratch on glass
I went to the beach with my Samsung S4 and it got scratched, but luckily I did have a screen protector on. So yes gorrila glass protects against knifes but it won't protect it from sand
@theArchitektas
Where did you get flip case from? Pretty sure they are not selling them yet
I have the atFolix ones on order from Amazon; were dispatched last week but still waiting. I'm the same, I always put screen protectors on my phones; the only exception is my Lumia 920 as it has a curved screen and I couldn't find a decent one to apply (even the official one was no good)!

If anyone can find a glass screen protector for the Moto G please let us know. So far I haven't found a glass one anywhere. I can't stand the plastic ones, but the glass ones (like the ones made by SPIGEN) fell just like the original screen.
didn't find one glass screen protector for MOTO G...if someone has found it then do share the link...desperately want one to gift to my friend on Christmas......
Thanks in advance.....
Did anyone find one in Mexico City?

I can strongly confirm. When I had mine I scoured the interwebs looking for a protector and couldn't find a good one. But I had min for about 1.5 yrs and had NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCH. There would probably be small lines near the SE logo... but you would have to peep closely to notice.
I think I might order mine without the SP and decide to get one later.

I could, though the Moto X itself isn't sold in the UK. I wanted an immediate solution so I wouldn't have to leave it unprotected but I'm happy enough with the outcome to wait until some decent screen protectors arrive on the UK market.

People who say only things of a certain hardness will scratch Gorilla Glass are talking rubbish. Either that or the phones I've seen in CeX - no more than two month old devices in some cases, with screens that look like they've been sandpapered - have been kept in the same pocket as someone's beach samples.
BEWARE the moto g does scratch quite easily, I know this because mine slid off the chair and the screen cracked and had scratches all over it, I now have got a replacement moto g and put a screen protector on from day one !

If you are spending $200 on something that could be damaged a good screen protector is cheap insurance.
We replaced my wife's Nexus S (bought the first month they came out) with a Moto G. She never had a screen protector. She has one bad scratch in the Nexus screen http://www.patentlystupid.com/sw/nexus.png sorry the pic is blurry but I took it in the dark with only a blue LED flashlight to highlight the scratch. Now keep in mind the Nexus S did not have Gorilla Glass. My guess is my wife's diamond ring hit the screen while she was rooting around in her purse one day. That is the only bad scratch on this 3 year old device.
A friend of mine likes to carry high end ($300+) pocket knives made by Bench Made, they constantly scratch is screens and he has resorted to using Spigen Glass screen protectors and these too get badly scratched by the metal edges of these hardened knives. He has replaced several already.
So no you are not being too weird or paranoid. I use Spigen Glas-Tr myself. I have no scratches on it yet, but I would rather replace the $30 screen protector than the screen on my $650 SGS4. Just make good sense.
I have put a cheap plastic protector on my wife's Moto G screen. I will replace it with a tempered glass one as soon as I find one I like.
screen protector ensures higher resale value, and since I sell my old phones on craigslist/ebay, I put protector on every single time. Sometimes $.99 stores sell iphone screen protector n I use it as temporary one until I wait to receive one I ordered online.
As for Moto G, I received the phone today and learned that the cover that comes with the phone CAN be used as a screen protector. Those M logo and motorola name on it? You can scratch them off with your fingernail.
Hi Everyone,
Long time off the forum as I haven't had a phone that has warranted any use of this wonderful site.
Picked up a Moto G yesterday and I was wondering what people experiences with and without screen protectors for this device have been. Last "proper" phone was a Galaxy S2 and in the two year it survived it picked up a couple of small scratches, only one of which was visible enough to annoy me and it was dropped a lot, screen down.
My question to you all is that do I really need a screen protector is is this modern Gorilla Glass good enough to warrant not bothering.
Thanks!
(Sorry admin if this should be in Q&A but it feels more pertinent to this forum)

I havent used a screen protector for a while now, feels better and i haven't had a single scratch.
with the gg3, i can't see a reason to use a screen protector. until now, I don`t have any scratches too
I am using matte protectors. I feel more comfortable having one of them on my moto g
i've used a matte protector but the screen looked bad and i took it off.No need for screen protector,only sand can scratch it.
My Moto G fell down one time and now i have like a 3 mm scratch in the display, since then i used this kind of protector http://www.ebay.de/itm/Motorola-MOT...y_PDA_Displayschutzfolien&hash=item3f30f9ff7c and it works best for me
Well, I managed to scratch up my screen within three months of purchase. So I use a tempered glass screen protector and it works pretty well for me except for a crack, the result of it falling screen first twice in five seconds. ?
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
While the Moto G has great protection from scratches thanks to Gorilla Glass 3, you'll eventually get scratches if you are in an environment where there is sand. Sand will definitely scratch your display, so if you get some sand in your pocket and whatnot there is a high possibility of scratches. I purchased anti-glare screen proctors as I use my phone a lot outdoors and it works great.
Gorrila Glass is still glass and has the risk of damage, either scratches or worse. So its a matter of reducing risk, not a matter of 'do I need it or not'. Perhaps the risk depends on your use and habits, but its always there.
Me personally, it always seems logical to use one. If it can save me from a expensive repair, a ugly scratch or a decreased value in case I want to sell it... why not? I never experienced loss of touch screen functionality.. Especially the tempered glass ones are nice.
Look up nanocoating spray on ebay. This is whats inside the phone but they have a liquid developed for screens that supposedly makes the screen 5 times harder and scratch resistant and water repellant. Molecoat on ebay looks good and they have a video on youtube (thats what sold me) chinese auction but you can get it for $10, thinking about trying it. I always had a screen protector on my phones but hate how it takes away from the sharpness and color from the screen with the "hd clear' ones.
I only use tempered glass protectors. I've abandoned film altogether. There's just no substitute for glass.

I got a tiny scratch that you barley on my G3 and bought a glass screen protector right away, its great, and I don't really notice it, well worth the money,
What people don't understand about gorilla glass is that its still glass no matter how strong it is, all those videos of knives on the screen don't make sense since metal doesn't usually scratch glass anyway, but put some sand near it, even one grain and you got hella scratches, I'd do it, but only the glass screen protector, plastic ones are ugly, leave bubbles and are hard to apply.
Trust me my S5 got scratched within a month all over + my s2 as soon as I took off the protector, Just from keeping it in my pocket
I put one on straight out of the box.
Currently got a plastic one on. No bubbles if you put it on properly.
Probably will get a glass one though when I know the phone has no faults and doesn't need to be sent back.

Haha that's dedication using the phone with the original screen cover on!
I took the original cover off and put a Spigen protector straight on. Didn't even have to wipe smudges or dust off, a lot easier like that [emoji3]
I've been using the stock protector from Verizon-- never pulled it off, it only blocks a little bit of the bottom buttons, and while it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet I figure it's perfectly applied/aligned (no dust specks or bubbles), etc. That said I don't expect it to look pristine for too much longer.
I ordered some of the Illumishield protectors from Amazon, I know someone who's used them and it looks nice. If the Verizon one's fingerprints start getting to me (or the "Audio Jack" and "Charging port" writing gets too obnoxious) I'll try one. Not sure I am ready to make the jump to tempered glass yet...
I've been using skinomi on all my phone's. Nice screen protector.
I put one on my device the second I got it, but I noticed a scratch on my screen when switching screen protectors, so I just run 100% naked now.

I have the s10+ for about a week and loved the stock screen protector, I usually use films like imak hydrogel and they can last easily 3 months before getting too scratched. The stock film is perfectly installed and sometimes I forget this screen has one as the touch feeling is very close to glass.
Though how many of you kept it and for how many weeks/months ?
Almost 3 months. No problems with it.

I liked the stock screen protector for about a month until I tried using the Ringke case. It destroyed the corners of the screen protector. Wish I had known beforehand.
I still have mines on even though it's all scratched up. Wished I took more care of it.
I'm going to keep mines on until I find a really trustworthy tempered glass screen protector that works great with the fingerprint scanner, so for now my scratched up preinstalled screen protector will suffice.
There are people who said it's the best screen film they had and is trying to buy the same Samsung one, but the one Samsung is selling is not the same one that came preinstalled.

Perhaps because the pre-installed one was posed by a machine with perfect precision, when you install a film protection yourself you will always have a 1/4 of mm difference or worse bubbles or micro dusts under it giving orange skin look under good light.
I like imak hydrogel films since the s8, but spigen are also good
keeping the pre installed screen protector on until it gets ugly. so far only a couple of little scratches, and peace of mind knowing the glass underneath is perfect.
