I think some OneXs just came out of a bad batch. My first OneX scratched way too easily, this second one I got (first started developing yellow spots) haven't gotten any scratches at all.
[HTC One X] royoshukrun:
Holy christ that would drive me mad @_@ Now I'm even more paranoid about having taken it off.

How long have you had your second one for? And do you use a case?
[HTC One X] shadehh:
See what I mean? It's not the first time i read about people's screens not being prone to scratches after getting a new handset. Even my friend who owns the one x has not got one single scratch. I'm starting to really get pissed off at htc.
[HTC One X] royoshukrun:
Honestly I know how you feel. I've been disappointed a couple of times with my One X since I got it, in fact I only started being satisfied with it at all once I got rid of Sense. Hardware-wise, though, yeah it could be better, battery life and colors, even. I just hope that mine isn't one of the ones prone to scratches... I really can't afford another one right now, and I would totally buy one anyways @_@.
[HTC One X] PCServe:
I never used a screen protector on my one x and i have it pretty much since it was released. Don't have a single scratch on my screen yet, the trick is to be careful and not putting the phone and the keys in the same pocket.
[HTC One X] royoshukrun:
Now that does make me feel better.
[HTC One X] mibikin:
I use an Invisible Shield HD, and its near impossible to tell anything is on the phone. Only in direct sunlight is it visible, and that is only the edges that can be seen, only slightly. I also had 3 scratches on the screen, and they can't be seen anymore.

[HTC One X] shadehh:
So protectors help hide the scratches?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Yeah I agree, no scratches on mine, BECAUSE I LOOK AFTER IT

I don't do stupid things like putting it in a pocket with other stuff and then wonder why it's scratched? That's like cleaning your car with a stone and then saying it's more prone to scratches than everyone else's car.
[HTC One X] instepos:
I used my HTC sensation for 11 months with no screen protector and didn't have one scratch on it.

My HOX however I put a zagg screen protector on it straight away. I want to keep it in good condition for resale value in the future.

Apparently zagg have brought out a HD screen protector that doesn't have the orange peel touch effect, I'm searching everywhere but can't find these in the UK at the moment even though you can buy them from the zagg.com
[HTC One X] mibikin:
They do it very well. I don't even remember where the scratches were.

[HTC One X] mibikin:
The HD Invisible Shield from Zagg is amazing and seriously invisible.

Had my One X for 3 months and I've never had a screen protector on it or a case and it has no marks on it at all, just gets a little dirty cause I'm a mechanic.
[HTC One X] privatetrousers:
Famous last words!...

I use a case (jelly) but not screen protector. I used a screen protector for about a month on my old desire hd and it was horrible. AND I forked out for an expensive one. Ruins the display and feels clammy to swype on. If you're careful, the screen doesn't get scratched really anyway, imo. It won't stop the screen cracking if you do drop it awkwardly either, which to me is the main worry.

Conclusion: If you bought your phone to enjoy it, don't get a screen protector 'cause they're horrible, if you didn't buy it to enjoy it, sell it and get yourself an old 3310.

[HTC One X] Pitchb3nd:
My one x is full of microscratches (the ones you can only see tilting your phone in direct sunlight).

I'm EXTRA careful with my phones, and I've never had this problem before with my other htc phones (diamond, diamond 2, HD2, DesireHD, Sensation) some people say it's the coating or whatever, there's even an online petition to ask htc to solve this problem.

Use a screen protector! This phone is extra sensible to microscratches, you've been warned.

[HTC One X] TToivanen:
I have an invisible shield and highly recommend getting one.
[HTC One X] DomFel:
Using a Brando UltraClear screen protector, it's simply unbeatable. And yes, I did try Zagg's, Martin's, etc..
[HTC One X] Xenodwarf:
I work in a though enviroment from time to time so i don't wanna take any chances.

I use bestskinsever.com Best screenprotector I've ever had, and its much cheaper then the once from Zagg.com

Best Skins Ever are the bomb :)
[HTC One X] allenf:
Mine's spent 3 months in the front or back pocket of my 501s and the naked screen is completely flawless, no scratches at all.

But I don't put it in with keys or coins, Gorilla glass or not that's just silly IMO.
[HTC One X] shafez:
I hate the Screen Protectors specially the Anti-Glare ones, Also the clear ones get scratched badly after a couple of weeks of use so I never use them.
[HTC One X] beshar:
First scratch came the first week, and after that I didn't bother. Have it in my working pants but without keys. There are scratches here and there but they bother me and only show when the screen is turned off.
[HTC One X] 99RedB:
I've finally got Wrapsol Ultra on mine.

My old Desire had Wrapsol on it and it survived a number of incidents that would have damaged the display, though after some 2 years it has sustained some damage itself. It has very slighly impacted the quality of the display, but not enough to matter. I'd certainly recommend it over their Clean Screen version, which has a quite significant impact on display quality.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
On my previous HTC devices I always used a screen protector but on the HTC One X I won't use.

Of course I'm careful with my phone, I have it for a couple of months now and don't have a single scratch.

The glass is very good, I wear the phone in my pocket.

Edit;

I like to make one more thing clear, even if I hold it in direct sunlight there isn't a single scratch or micro scratch on my screen.
[HTC One X] chrisully:
I use the official case so protected I my pocket and is an option if you don't like screen protectors
[HTC One X] randombirt:
Or maybe don't tilt your phone in direct sunlight to look for scratches...

I have a onex, got it april 4th, i'm an industrial roofer constantly cutting/drilling metal and work on building sites, my phone has no sp, no case and it go's strait into my pocket on site. I can see no scratches on the screen, it has some slight scuffs on the top edge which i think are from the rivets on my jeans pocket, it also has some dust/grit clogging a few of the earpiece holes. I've had an issue with wifi so i opened it up and done my own fix by snapping off the lower part of the contact allowing the contact to have more spring and now have awesome wifi. Also opened it to unclog the holes previously, seriously guys if you bought it to use it don't be surprised if it starts showing signs of use?!
[HTC One X] TripleD_HOX:
Im using the official case, and a screen protector for the third month, and yet, after several drop downs, shared pocket with keys, and heqvy using my HOX dont have a single scratch on its screen, and no damage on its body. Safety accessories are awesome!
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
It's simple, don't care about scratches don't get one, if you do get one, if you don't and you get one you will be annoyed unlees you don't care about a scratch. I just got some £3 anti glare one and I really like it, only problem is the dust under the protector cause I'm terrible at applying protectors
[HTC One X] ViktorN:
I use a screen protector because I want my device to last at least 2 years. If I didn't use one, that wouldn't be possible.
[HTC One X] glukosio:
i have mine since the begin of june, and after a couple of weeks i noticed a big deep scratch in the middle of the screen...

i heard that toothpaste with lite cocacola can remove scratches from cd-rom, could it work with "gorilla glass" too?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You'll mess with the oleophobic coating before touching the scratch. You'll need something more abrasive than toothpaste, I reckon. Well, unless you have a very long time and don't mind getting tennis elbow.
[HTC One X] godutch:
Parodontax is quite abrasive, maybe you dentist/oral hygienist could spare you some Nupro, the co**** variant is very abrasive

edit: wtf c.o.a.r.s.e is offensive?
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
haha the profanity filter is getting the bit just after "co" lol.
[HTC One X] oftiklaus:
Had my One X since April. Used a horrible Zagg for the first three weeks, then gave up and have used the phone without any screen protector. So after about two months and a half, I have a couple of deeper scratches only visible when the screen is off, and quite a few microscratches that can only be seen under an angle in strong sunlight. I got them most likely from the sand in pockets when I went to the seaside last month.
[HTC One X] Jtjacka:
I am extremely careful and still have quite a few micro sratches which is pretty disappointing. I got it the first day it was available for ATT. I absolutely hate the feeling on screen protectors but this is still a bit disappointing. Never had a case or screen protector on my iPhone 4 and it never had nearly as many scratches after two years of owning it. Hopefully my phones develops a problem so I can return it to ATT and get a new one since it sounds like people are having better luck with their replacement ones. I wish this was Gorilla Glass 2!
[HTC One X] _AMiR_:
i hate the screen protectors but the clear one not bad...
[HTC One X] mujj:
I've have been through 2 HOXs. The first I got just before I went abroad. Developed about two micro scratches over a month. But then a few days before I was heading home my nephew dropped the phone and there was a deep scratch on it. So much so you could feel it when using the phone. Luckily I hadn't cancelled my insurance which came with the phone so I got it replaced when I got back.

Second phone I put on a screen protector straight away and have had it on till today. The problem is that no screen protector seems to fit this phone properly. It was annoying since the protector got smudged very easily and also picked up dirt a lot. I just took it off and the naked screen is so much better.

Don't know how long this will last. Any sign of a scratch and the screen protector is back on.

(I don't know why when I have no screen protector on my phone, it is always comfortably in my hand. When I have no screen protector on, it is always slipping out)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Oh come on, scratches don't develop over a month; the surface of the glass does not decay over 4 weeks!

This topic is ridiculous. The language used is ridiculous. It's like by saying "micro scratch" this is some new form of scratch that occurs on self-immolating glass.

"I scratched my screen twice in a month".
[HTC One X] mujj:
Obviously it was something I did that scratched the glass, but I have no idea what it was. Was using and official HTC pouch since I bought it .
[HTC One X] ramis7:
I am using one x since april. neither screen protector nor too much care, i don't have any single scratch on screen. :D
[HTC One X] rilorolo:
Same here. Few times had coins, keys and phone in the same pocket. Sot a single scratch yet :victory:
[HTC One X] dzdimov:
Hi,

i've been using my HOX for about a month when i noticed it was scratched. I immediatly went to put a screen protector and the guy who worked at the shop told me that he had seen quite a few HOX's with scratches. Before this I owned a HTC desire for a year and a half and i didn't have a single scratch so naturaly I expected the same but...it dissapointed me.
[HTC One X] nookcoloruser:
Yep I have a Zagg on mine currently, and I have a spare screen protector for when the Zagg needs replacing.

I live near the sea and I walk on the beach three times a day, so I have lots of sand in my pockets, in my car and such. Sand and grit are probably any devices real achilles heals when it come to scratching.

So despite the horrid tactile feel the Zagg shield gives, i will continue to use it.
[HTC One X] jeyml:
I never took care of phones,maybe this is my biggest mistake,but since i bought the phone when it first came out i didn't used any screen protectors or such,and not a single scratch is on my display,even tough i droped it a few times.
[HTC One X] JoeyDez:
Been using this phone since april, and not a single scratch or anything that looks damaged.

Fell already 4 times, 3 with case and 1 time without, but no problems here.

Although now i've had a protector on the screen for about a month just in case.

'Cause I'm definitely not gonna get the medal of most care for your phone... :angel:
[HTC One X] godot_:
Not been using screen protector either, no scratches. Had a HTC Desire HD over a year and no scratches on that one either. That said you should not be using your One x as a hammer as I saw someone was doing on youtube :laugh:
[HTC One X] plasmadan:
No screen protector here, and I hope to keep it that way. I always hated how my wildfire looked with the screen protector on it. So now I'm just careful not to allow my One X to get scratched. Although I do use a silicone case for the phone.
[HTC One X] goulies:
I'm using terrapin screen protector it came free with an amazon order, its the best ive used so far feels as smooth as the gorilla glass and its still going strong after 3 months use, would definitely recommend.

[HTC One X] magic_android:
I always use screen protectors because no matter what, my phones always end up with scratches on the screen when they're in my pocket. I never put anything other than my phone in my right pocket where i keep it, but somehow i always get these tiny scratches that are visible in bright light.

So for that reason, i always use screen protectors. Especially with my One X, i wouldn't want anything to ruin that beautiful screen xD.
[HTC One X] mujj:
I think it's also the size off the screen. Because of this it is easier to scratch
[HTC One X] dmin:
I use Brando Ultra Clear screen protector since the first day I got HOX.

It doesn't make HOX look worse that much, however swypes are not so smooth as on unprotected screen.
[HTC One X] jayeshrc:
man, ive tried so many locally available screen protectors, NONE of them fit properly.. they were either too small or the edges never stuck flat and it looked horrible, so i ended up not using one, till i came across www.bestskinsever.com .. it was way more expensive than the ones ive tried but i bought it anyway and my god, its like its not even there! it fits PERFECTLY, edge to edge and its clear as day.. i just placed a second order for more to have as spares to replace once this one gets old and full of scratches.

i now swear by these guys' product.
[HTC One X] incident:
I dont take chances, i put screen protector on all of my phones - cheap solution that give me the feeling that my phone is "secure"
[HTC One X] siwy05:
Previously I had HD2 for over 2yrs without screen protector, only two tiny scratches for that time, then HD2 felt down about 2metres from truck. Bought HOX the best HTC product at the moment and what? After a month i have even more scratches than on HD2. Next one will be SGS 4 or 5 or 6 whatever. HTC shame on you!
[HTC One X] djdetox:
I've had the HOX for 4 months now with no screen protector and no scratches. Gorilla Glass is really good and doesn't scratch easily. Even going in your pocket with keys I'd be surprised if it was the keys themselves that scratched the glass, more likely bits of grit or something similar that are scratching it.

I had the Legend for 2 years, first year with a screen protector and second year without and I wasn't particularly careful with it (in my bag with keys, falling off car holder etc.) and the casing has scratches but none on the screen.

I'm not denying that some HOX's might have defects in the glass making them susceptible to scratches but with normal use and excluding drops onto concrete Gorilla Glass is bloody difficult to scratch!
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
erm... it is....

No... actually it's shame on YOU for not looking after your device properly.
[HTC One X] jayeshrc:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfgKLwGnOZs

makes everything clear with regard to gorilla glass
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Was just about to post that, that should stop the whining lol
[HTC One X] apallohadas:
And you had NOTHING to do with your phone getting scratched. Dam magic scratches!!!
[HTC One X] Neo3369:
To each, his own. But I think using a screen protector IS ruining that beautiful screen. Because honestly, I haven't come across a protector that does a better job than Gorilla Glass. So what you end up with is a protector that has scratches - ruining the user experience, while the Gorilla Glass remains pristine and unscratched underneath! What is the point of that. My HOX once slipped out of my hand while walking, fell face down on tarmac, and actually slid a couple of feet on that rough surface. And not a scratch. Not even a microscratch. To those who feel safer for it, use a protector, but it comes at a cost. I don't think GG gets the credit it deserves. Amazing stuff really. I trust in it completely.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
That video shows a real good screen protector.. google for sgp. Although i dont think they do the glass screen protector for hox yet.

she was wiping the screen with the sandpaper, it's proof how tough these screens really are, same with your unfortunate drop..

Btw for those who didnt watch the video , the oleophobic coating itself adds about 2h of hardness, which means any previous speculation that the oleophobic coat scratches more easily isnt true.
[HTC One X] xcluded:
tried a screen protector but found it awkward using it.

touching directly on a screen still works best for me.

been careful with my usage, so far no scratches.
[HTC One X] krohme:
I've been using screen protectors on all my phones from HTC magic, Desire, DHD, Sensation XE and now HOX.

The way I see it, whats the point in investing money on a very expensive and powerful gadget - and then allow the beautiful screen to be raped by keys, coins, & other things that dwell in the pocket kingdom :confused:

The HOX has an amazing screen so I protect mine with a screen protector that cost a mere £5 from ebay (for a pack of 5).. been using the first one for like 2 months now & you can't even tell its there! most importantly is the fact that my screen is scratch-free :victory::victory::victory:

C'mon guys - protect your HOX, like L'Oreal.. its worth it. ;)
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I've tired many screen protectors, BestSkinsEver is the best, it adds no drag on your finger swipes and has great coverage

Search for my BestSkinsEver thread for a ton of photos, information & video.

Nobody knows it has a protector, only me as I can see the edges of it - this alone shows how invisible it is that my friends don't know.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Keys and coins don't scratch screens :) its the grit.
[HTC One X] apallohadas:
They sell them for our phone, but I keep mine in an otterbox so I think I may skip getting the added protection.
[HTC One X] nas93:
Tough glass

I've been using my One X for about 2-4 months now and when i first received it, i immediately applied a screen protector.. A simple plastic sheet. A month later, i got sick of the reduced touch sensitivity and stickyness and removed it. The increase in responsiveness was amazing :silly: Currently my screen still has no scratches even when i fell once and the screen of One X hit the edge of an escalater (You know the sharp edge of each stand?). I have to say the screen fared much better than my knee after the fall as the screen was literally still unscratched while my knee was a bloody mess... :crying:
[HTC One X] mrdey:
Also tried screen protector, but:

- visibility under the bright sun was a lot worse

- this phone has a superb oleophobic coating and I noticed that soon when I put protector over it, cos it got full of fingerprints...

After 2 weeks I removed the protector to fully enjoy the quality of screen and touch.
[HTC One X] kelvintisw:
No protector for me since I got my HOX on 2nd April....:rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Huubs:
Got mine from april. A couple of little scratches only visible in sunlight. No screenprotector because it's feels strange.
[HTC One X] Phil402:
I'm very careful with my One X. Never gets in touch with any other objects in my pocket. Never the less I've got a big fat scratch. Beforehand I used a Desire for about 2 years which didnt received a scratch in 2 years of harsh usage.

In the end it must have been my fault but i dont think the screen is very scratch resistant and for my next phone (regarding their s-off policy it wont be a HTC device again) i will get a screen protector even if I hate them pretty much.
[HTC One X] maseo:
Be very, very carefull. She can handle a lot.. but mine gave up today.

She'll be picked up tomorrow for repair estimates. :crying:
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Going to keep a screen protector for a year, once the next HTC comes out ill take the protector off and use the screen naked. Just don't want it to loose value while it still has some. But when it starts dropping anyway I might as well use it properly
[HTC One X] Brds7t7:
Ouch...that's a sad sight! :crying:

I never used a protector on any other phone but they were all mid-range phones. Since I upgraded to the One X a protector was the first thing I bought for it.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
No screen protector and no scratches for months I own the device,

the screen is very scratch resistant to my opinion. :)

No screen protector needed, it's a waist of your screen unless you are very slobby of course. ;)
[HTC One X] bev309:
I have 2 small scratches on my screen, both appeared after a visit to the beach - nothing else has come near to damaging my screen! - I hate sand lol :(
[HTC One X] DTMHibbert10:
No protectors at all on any phone I've owned and I've never scratched the screen
[HTC One X] tathan:
Can't believe the amount of people on here saying the screen is amazing and if someone has scratched it then naturally they're an idiot. :confused:

There must have been a manufacturing change or a problem with early ones, because I'm incredibly careful with mine (goes in its own pocket always, never face down on anything, never dropped), had a protector on until recently but hated the way it felt so I took it off thinking it would be ok... Big mistake. There's one scratch you can catch a fingernail in, a load of smaller 'sunlight reflection only' ones and two areas each about 5mm square that look like they've been abraded into dullness. If it can't survive one month of careful use, WTF use is it as a phone?

So pissed off with it, had a HTC since an ancient Orange SPV and was tempted by the S3 but went for this with heart rather than head.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Boo hoo, look after it better.

Or keep a protector on.

Think the SGS3 screen is better? - wrong, it's worse and is more prone to scratches & breakages. - FACT
[HTC One X] apallohadas:
So you're saying that the screen scratched itself.

Gotcha.
[HTC One X] monchee:
I had a screen protector when I first got my phone. Wanted to change it due to visible scratches on it. One day, I decided to remove it that morning and buy a new one in the afternoon. I took a nap and placed the phone beside me on the bed. When I woke up, I saw the phone on the ground! Face first! When took a look at it, there's a small crack and scratches on the screen. I can't believe that it actually happened. Same afternoon, I bought my phone a new screen protector. How unlucky can I get?
[HTC One X] :
I don't see the point I've dropped mine about 300 times, put it in my pocket with my keys, everything and I can't seen any scratches unless I hold it in direct sunlight which there isn't much of in the Netherlands :p
[HTC One X] eaturmusicx:
I just bought my HTC onex a day or two. The dealer said no screen protector needed. I still ask him for one. Every people seems to have their own scratch story on their onex. I might have one, one day. Yet, hopping for a least disasterous one. :(
