[Q]Bezel scratches easily?

Have a friend who told me how easy his bezel would damage from normal use. I didn't notice this until the other day when I noticed my bezel has lots of small scratches just from normal use (sitting in pocket, playing porn and such).
Anybody else noticed the bezel getting scratched/showing wear really fast?
Was gonna post this in the issues thread but wanted more confirmation before it was in there.

Yeah but its not really a big deal any phones on the side usually scratch easily you wouldn't see it on a all black phone. My previous phone mytouch 4g has bezel scratches all over it but not enough but you can't see unless you closely.

Eh it's a simple fix. If I find that I'm getting random small scratches on the bezel then I'll just wipe it with some suuuper fine sand paper to give it more of the brushed aluminum look and it will be brand new all over again.

I got the white n black Body Glove case that covers the whole entire phone and the bezel. I dropped my phone once and no scratches. This case is beautiful.

lol thats exactly what i was thinking. mine is flawless after a week and put in my pockets and stuff

Yeah, I've got to say that I am pretty surprised at how easily the bezel scratches. The phone fell out of my coat pocket as I was hanging it on the back of a wood chair. As it was falling it barely grazed the wood leg on the chair before hitting the carpet. I picked it up and looked and sure enough, there is a scuff on the bezel that refuses to rub off.
Luckily my case should be here in a day or two to cover it. But it does have me thinking, I don't think it's the actual metal that is showing the scratch. I think the bezel has some clear coating on it that is showing marks very easily. I bet there is a way to wipe the coating off or at least buff out any marks with some sort of solution and a microfiber towel.

I'm pretty sure that its made of metal. coming from the original vibrant which is made of plastic. it feels noticeably different.
also all the other variants of the gs2 are made of plastic.

Just to confirm its plastic. I take these apart for a living... IV had just about every Galaxy phone apart too.... the ones that look and feel like metal have a "metal like" coating (that scratches super easy) but from underneath once its removed you can see its plastic.... as a matter of fact, Sammy doesn't use hardly anything BUT plastic in there devices... the vibrant, GS4G, i9100, AT&T and T-Mobile versions... all plastic. They have a frame in the middle that's made out of that material they use in laptops... maybe coated aluminum? Its tan or silver in the phones but very strong and very light, and if you snap it in half, it almost looks like cast iron... anyway, bezels are plastic, just coated to look and feel metal like.

I really want to pick one of these up since I have heard such good things about them. However, I am curious about how you prevent the liquid from getting into the ear piece when applying the protector. Is there a trick to covering the ear piece?

Yes, I have this on my phone also and its amazing, virtually no orange peel and looks great. Highly recommended!

just man up, don't use toooooo much solution and pat dry...
make sure you take out the battery and DON"T put it back in after as the phone will reboot.
just install and wait over night with cool air blowing over it.
i know it will be tough not to touch your new toy, but without US warranty work, not worth it.

The solution they have dries really quickly, they added some substance it in, so even if the tiniest bit gets in there, you shouldn't worry too much, unless you spill the whole bottle in there lol

Does it go right to the edges of the screen?

I got one ordered this weekend hopefully arriving soon.
How difficult was the application? I'm not too keen on wet application (Zagg, ugh) but is it pretty much drench, lay it on the screen and shift to center ASAP? Past experience with Zaggs, I've usually had to lay it perfectly on the first try since I wouldn't be able to shift it around afterwards.

FYI, "byublue", as mentioned earlier, takes $3 off, which is slightly better than 20%.

I'm assuming all wet applications should be the same, which means that your experience with zagg will be similar with xo.
You wouldn't be able to shift it around after its applied. However, you can peel it upwards, apply some more liquid, then place it back down
Did that with my skinomi, had no problem with it, should work with all wet screen protectors

Got mine today and applied it tonight. It was my first wet application, and it was WAY easier than the (dry-apply) SGP Crystal I had on my Dinc.

It goes very close to the edge of the screen.
No orange peel
No rainbow effect
As I said before... highly recommended

Not at all its slick

So I've never done a wet install. Basically I get as much of the liquid out as possible and then wait overnight for it to settle?

I don't think people realize that, sure even though your device isn't damaged from the liquid solution that may or may have leaked into the phone. BUT it probably set off the water damage sticker inside voiding your warranty.
That's the biggest fear for most people including myself.

2 days and screen scratched

Ordered it from Google on Tuesday and just started using it couple days ago. I baby my phone, never dropped it, always wiped with a clean cloth and I saw this when I looked at the screen under a lamp:

To me it seems like the oleophobic coating is responsible. It's probably really soft and prone to scratches. Whatever the case, Samsung has really let me down. How could the rigidity of such a large screen get looked past QA when it can be scratched this easily? Anyways, just thought potential buyers be forewarned.

Been using it since December 2011. No scratches.

Did you look under a bright light? I have 2 other friends who also reported hair line scratches.
Do you have a screen protector? Do you use a carrying case? What do you wipe your screen with?

And this is why I always put a screen protector on my phone.

Man really weird I've had mine since Jan, would put it in pocket with keys and what not till I got a holster and I don't have one scratch. I guess it's really a hit or miss with the screen. I don't like running a screen protector sorry to hear

Yes I've looked under a bright light.
No screen protector.
No carrying case.
I wipe my screen with a micro fiber cloth (I honestly don't need to wipe the phone much.. not a lot of fingerprints are on the phone due to the oleophobic.. it works great).
The only protection I use are cases (Case-Mate Tough Case [dont use this anymore], Otterbox Commuter [don't use it anymore], and now I use Ringke 4G LTE full time) with GSM Extended Battery.

No case no screen protector been using for 3 months now and not a flaw.

I have a ****load of scratches on mine. Owned it since January. I thought the screen would be comparable to gorilla glass, but I don't believe it is. One of my scratches is probably an inch long and perfectly vertical. Either way I I don't really care that much.

I'm been using my nexus for a bit over a month without a screen protector, and I don't have any scratches like that.

yah i never understood this obsession with scratches, they are so minor that you can see them unless you are really trying.

I can scratch a screen in 2 seconds. Just hand me your phone, I will bring the tungsten carbide plated drill bit.

My point was that it got scratched even when I cared so much for the phone. It seems to me like it got scratched from the lint in my pocket. I don't know about most people but that's alarming to me especially knowing I paid $400 for it.

You will find countless threads on this matter. Glass is relatively soft, even hardened glass. A lot of stuff can scratch it, the most common being simple dust particles (Quartz) which are readily available everywhere.
If you put your phone somewhere where it continually rubs against something -like your pocket- it will be scratched sooner or later. Basically as soon as a large enough Quartz particle makes its way into your pocket and on the screen.
So if you put a phone in your pocket without any protection, you didn't care enough for it. :-(

No case. No screen protector. Dropped once from a 6ft wall. Little ding in the corner.
Oh and I've had it since Dec. 15th.

No scratches since Canadian launch in December

Been using it for about 3 months now and I have a few light scratches near the top and bottom, and a few REALLY REALLY REALLY light ones on the screen, nothing that is actually visible without looking really hard. If you want 0 scratches get a screen protector because you're bound to get scratches. No phone out there has a totally scratch resistant screen.
They are all made of a glass/plastic hybrid so little particles floating around or getting on your screen will probably scratch it, especially if you wipe it everyday, might be something on the screen while you whip it :/.
But yeah don't blame Samsung for the screen scratching, they never said it can't be scratched and no company can guarantee that.

same here, two days one little scratch, always used with care

I've been tossing my phone in my pocket with keys, lighter, etc etc since November 18 and haven't had a scratch...
If there's sand of any amount in your pocket your gonna have a bad time.

I work outside in a dusty dry ass propane plant, I get all kinds of stuff on my hands and usually just wipe on my shirt and send a quick text and I use the underside of my shirt to wipe the screen while at work....

Are screen protectors really needed on the Epic 4G Touch?

Man, I thought I finished posting this but I guess not. Must have forgot to hit submit.
Are screen protectors really needed with Gorilla Glass? I've had them on my last four phones and never thought of not having one but my wife just got an Android and her screen glides like silk. Also, I've noticed it seems much clearer.
How do the glass screens on these phones hold up to scratching?

Some have reported issues with scratching. I use one, its cheap protection for your expensive device.

I guess my current thinking is that maybe a few light scratches might be an OK trade off to the Zag adding a little blur to the screen, having the tacky non-smooth feeling when I glide my finger across the screen and harder clean-up.
Actually the Zag gets beaten to hell pretty easy. I have marks on it that I can not remove. One could argue that the Zag took the abuse instead of the screen but my thought is that the Zag is softer then the Gorilla Glass so that is why it marks up easier.
I guess I could keep the Zag and never get a scratch on my actual screen but be staring threw more noticeable scratches on the Zag, or maybe have less noticeable scratches on the harder glass and a more clear experience.
Just can't make up my mind and this is my first experience with Gorilla Glass.

zagg isnt the only screen protector company, there are many types of protectors also, zagg is soft ive had one, ive also had other that are hard and your finger will just slide across it. Sure you will still get scratches on the protector but if its to many get a new protector and slap it on and have a nice clear screen again. A lot easier then replacing the screen imo.

Zagg sucks. Try steinheil. It's crystal clear, hard to scratch, and smooth. I've had mine on since october and it's still looking good.

Yep I tried several different brands of both wet and dry and ended up with the steinheil sgp ultra crystal or something like that. Aside from one scratch which I believe would have certainly scratched the phone its good. You cant even tell its there. When I'm done with this phone I plan to sell it and use that money towards my new one. Its easy to sell a phone in excellent condition because it lived in cases and screen protectors.

I have cheap eBay screen protector on my phone. I figure I spent $250 on this device might as well at least have a basic case and screen protector on it.

Yes this phone scratches way to easy!! Its not like the original galaxy s where you could not harm the screen no matter what. I run a zag and I love it! The easiest to install and after a few weeks its real smooth.

Take a nice hot shower then after you're done all of the dust particles in the bathroom would have settled. Now you have a dust free environment. Hasn't failed me yet.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Or do what I did and buy the phone on release day, never put on a screen cover, and still not have scratches on the screen. Phone goes in pocket, jacket (when it was cold), has been dropped (the rest of the phone has some slight scratches), and travels across the country every week. Screen still holding strong.
Could be lucky, could be gorilla glass. Not sure, don't care. Won't ever use a cover again.

Screen protector is needed even with gorilla glass...

personally i think so, i had my old Epic 4g touch and it had some scratches on the screen. after my screen cracked i got a replacement and now im using a case and screen protector.

was clearing dust on top... glass between bezel and speaker broke.

I am so angry at me right now... There is plenty of dust collecting between top bezel and glass, so I sticked a fingernail in there in order to clean the dust and as I was making my way through the bezel, the screen broke on the way from bezel to speaker, so now I have 2mm long crack on top of the phone....
I guess I can't do anything with this now. Are there any cases that can hide this part ? I mean - cases that reach or cover the top speaker
Shame... its a fantastic device but build quality is rather delicate especially compared to htc one or nexus4

Wow that is the first time I heard of anyone with this kind of an issue. Best you can do is either try to use a Anti glare screen protector or use a vinyl sticker that changed covers everything else besides the display, that would help cover up the cracks. You should post a picture of the affected area to get better opinions.

Thanks for answer. What type of sticker do You mean ?
The full version of accident was like that:
in the morning I dropped my n2 from hands height (I am a tall 1,86m person) directly SCREEN onto tiles in my flat. I had pc+. Case and back cover FLIED away. I reinstalled everythig and noticed plenty of dust collecting on top - between bezel and screen in that little gap. So I started cleaning it and the area above speaker just cracked. I guess it must have been structurally damaged from the fall and I finished the job. I have n2 for 4 months and did that cleaning couple of times without problems.
Anyway. it looks like this

The crack is a little more visible in real and really annoys me. Thankfully it appeared above the speaker so there is now way that crack can continue further.
So, what are means of hiding it? Can You link the screen protector and tape You recommend ?
Also - I want to get new case. that pc+ maybe did the job but now I want a case that will have higher bumpers from the screen side. And I want those bumpers to reach further into the device if You know what I mean. At least so they will hide the mentioned gap, so dust wouldnt colelct in there. maybe uag ?

For future referance I never use nails instead use a business card as it is thin enough and rigid enough to het the dust out. And I have no idea why I thanked to previous post 2wice.

Have you seen those stands at the mall where they wrap your gadgets up with some type of vinyl sticker? It wraps around like Zagg invisible shield but you can choose different designs or texture and it actually holds on well. Well you can choose to only have it on the front screen and in white. I'm not much into all the various gimmicky covers available in the market but I'm using the Samsung Protective Cover+ which has protected my note2 pretty well and barely adds thickness. You should check that out.

I'd say just ignore it. And if it really really really bugs you then you may as well just replace the glass panel, which is a bit difficult, but still doable. Just check the link in my signature.
