[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mbzeitz:
We have all seen the JRE scratch test video, and most of us have read Corning's response, but what is the real world scratch resistance?

When I was picked up my phone I noticed the display model had a few small scratches, so I tried to make more. I used both a penny (mohs of about 3) and a Swiss-Key stainless steel (mohs of about 5.5) keyring knife to try my best to scratch the screen, but I couldn't cause a single scratch. So why was JRE able to scratch with the level 3 pick, why did the display model already have scratches, and why couldn't I cause more?

I have tried a few different screen protectors and none of them stay down with a case, but before I take it off I want to know how safe it is.

For those of you with no screen protector, who has gotten a scratch, who hasn't, and how do you store your phone (pocket, purse, granite counter face down?)?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ingenious247:
Using mine naked, zero scratches. I did almost have a heart attack when on day 3 it slipped out of my shorts pocket (I was wearing those loose basketball shorts and should not have had it in my pocket when I sat down, I knew this about those shorts) in my car and slid in between the seat and the seat belt anchor (which is metal!). I fully expected to have a nice, big scratch on it when I slowly and carefully retrieved it, but nope! Not a mark. Lucky I'm sure, but nonetheless I haven't had any scratch issues and it's been a full week at this point.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fenderguy05:
Full week here, had a case to protect the phone but no screen protectors. No scratches to report, front or back.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PearsonDKA:
Full week here as well. No screen protector (First time in years and my anxiety levels are VERY high) and switching between two Spigen cases daily. No scratches at all. Also got a Slickwraps skin coming in soon, so it should add a bit more protection.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dsedapr:
Using a case on the back but the front is naked, no scratches at all and i work construction. Constant dust and debris, if my gands are too dirty I use the iris scanner and s pen to use the screen to avoid any abrasions. Not a single mark....not even a light one. I think GG5 is holding up pretty nicely. Phone is in and out of a no doubt dusty pocket all the time and nothing.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] MintiIceCream:
It's nice to read such comments :D I was a bit concerned about GG5... but I think I will buy the Samsung screen protector anyway ^^ (That is not a tempered glass protector btw)

P.s. I don't have a Note 7 yet, but will buy one next yearm (Exynos - Hungary)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fenderguy05:
I'm very glad to see that so many have no scratches. Especially coming from a construction worker! I think the entire thing was kind of blown out for a phone that hadn't been released to the public yet. I may never go back to a screen protector if I can't find a tempered glass with adhesive all over.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dsedapr:
yes, i work in construction and it can be quite dusty at times. i clean my device when i get home with a micro fiber cloth to see if anything happens, in and out of my pocket, finger use, etc. absolutely nothing. i'm not sure what the deal was with that video, but i'm going to have to go and side with corning on their conclusions. after a week of heavy use so far and different conditions, clean, dirty, i haven't even received a micro abrasion. i'm happy, it's a beautiful device and the glass seems fine...its almost 900 bucks people, handle with care lol

Well, there was a guy on Reddit warning people about the back of the stylus putting scratches on his device.

So did you give it a few swipes with the knife and coin? This is pretty interesting. I hope it turns out more scratch resistant than we think.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mbzeitz:
More than a few swipes. I took the edge of the penny and pressed hard against the glass, then moved it in small circles and then back and forth, all while maintaining pressure. Not like crack the glass pressure, but more pressure than the phone can apply with its own weight on an object. I did the same thing with the swiss key (Google "swiss key 6 in 1 knife" if you are curious what I am referring to) and once again no scratches. I tilted the screen to look at the reflections and ensure that not even faint scratches were left. The big "but" is that there were already a couple scratches on the screen, so in the week they had it up as a display model SOMETHING had to have scratched it.

Check out this lovely shot from my local T-Mobile. I didn't really notice this on any other phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mbzeitz:
I think I am going to stop by my local sprint store to see how their phone is holding up!

Wonder what caused those particular scratches? Sliding the metal clamp on?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ricosuave88:
I have a few scratches on mine even after babying it , when it gets gritty I'll wash it off in water shake the water off then hit it with the micro fiber and still managed to get tiny barely visible scratches . you would have to turn the screen at a certain angle for you to be able to see them but they are there ???
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] senectus:
No case yet, full week of use and no scratches.

But she's to slippery for me to continue using without a case so I will be putting one on soon when it arrives
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BableMan:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] KillaHurtz:
The screen is softer. Sure some metals will not scratch it, but sand will hand down ruin this phone. Be smart and get a cover for the front and back ;)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] equlizer:
I just put one a glass screen protector. Took about 2 hours for it to finally settle. Seems good so far. Box says it has 9H for hardness.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ingenious247:
If you're using tap water, it's damaging the oleophobic coating. Tap water is full of hard substances including calcium. Ever seen what an old sink looks like? The tap water alone can be the issue.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jkeith1:
I bet even the case guys will have scratches on the back of their phones on the edges. My front screen is hokding up fine, back (on a case) already has scratches.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dOobs24:
I'm on the fence with a lot of these claims of having scratches and how people got them. To me, "babying it" and "when it gets gritty" don't go together at all. You baby it, but it gets dirty to the point where you have to wash it off?

For the record, I have mine in a Spigen case covering the back and naked on the front. I've been extra paranoid due to all the scratch hype, so I'm careful to keep it in empty pockets and not lay it face down on any hard surfaces. No scratches yet. Fingers crossed.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] PearsonDKA:

Which screen protector?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
I scratched mine in less than 24 hours since buying it. You can't really see the scratch, you would have to look for it, under a certain angle, in specific light, but it is there. The screen is very weak. The phone spent one workday, either in my hand or my dresspants pocket. Never dropped or bumped, and in a case. The glass is very easy to scratch. I've become so paranoid after I saw the first scratch that I put a Ghost Armor screen protector on the front and installed the backing too, to protect the back from the case.

It has been years since I had to be this cautious with a phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] KillaHurtz:

Thanks man never thought about that !!! What is the best way you recommend I keep this baby clean ?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] drummerman:
You could use distilled water followed by baby wipes and a ph neutral body cream/moisturiser :D
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ricosuave88:
By babying it I mean exactly what you said ... "I've been extra paranoid due to all the scratch hype, so I'm careful to keep it in empty pockets and not lay it face down on any hard surfaces." I wash it it off because it's water resistant and it's a fingerprint magnet, There's only so much a microfiber cloth can do ! I Also have a case on it :tech 21 evo frame : naked front ? If you can give me some pointers on how to keep that screen clean would be gladly appreciated .

---------- Post added at 04:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

Ha ha ha ??? that was funny but thanks man I'll be going to get some distilled water asap !
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dOobs24:
For me huffing on it with some hot breath, followed by wiping with a microfiber cloth does the trick. Much like I clean my glasses. For particularly sticky or smudgy parts, a slightly dampened microfiber cloth works. If you are gross like me, a dab of your tounge on the cloth or just stick a fingertip sized section under some water! Good luck!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] matsuyamakaze:
No scrat hes never have never will note 3 was scratched healed itself in a few days disappeared from feel amd sight. I believe gg5 is as good as 4 and 3 that the gentlemen gentleman that made the video saw a marketing ploy where he could stir the community and get Millions of views. Do you know how hard he pressed on the glass uncontrolled experiment, you honestly believe scientists at cornining don't spend millions to make there products better than before. There career is at stake. He's just a guy with a YouTube channel.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ingenious247:
Basically I only SOFTLY wipe with microfiber, after I've made sure no particles are on the glass - either by using canned compressed air (like you'd clean your keyboard with) from at least 6 inches away or blowing one the screen myself. Breath works good for slight moisture, but distilled water is also great. Best thing, honestly, is don't clean it too often even with the microfiber as even light friction wears away the coating. Compressed air is your best friend!

I'm on my ninth day with the N7. I've been using it heavily. I just examined it carefully and there are zero scratches on the front, back, or sides. I do not use a case or a screen protector. I clean fingerprints with my shirt or a moist paper towel, not microfiber. I do carry the phone only in an empty pocket, and take care not to drop it or leave it where it might fall.

Keep in mind that posts about scratches and cracks are in a minority. Imagine people posting everyday that their phone (or any other product) didn't scratch or crack.

Trying to go without a case and no scratches on the glass, so far (after a week). However on the Duos model, I've noticed the sim tray is pretty poor quality. Having just used the SIM key twice the hole has already changed shape a little. Anyone else found that on theirs?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] amith007:
Good to see that so many people here are without any scratches so far. Happy to say that I am also on the same boat. For sure I take good care of my phone, but I belive it already had some fair chances to get a scratch if it was as scratchy as the rumors were. I use a minimal TPU case (of course to flaunt my coral blue beauty) with no screen protector. I tried using some film screen protectors and took it off immediately since all of them considerably deteriorated the screen clarity. No scratches so far, hope it holds up well for the days to come :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
For a dry apply, it's an excellent screen protector. I hate screen protectors and am pretty OCD if they're not "perfect" and you really can't tell the Samsung OEM protector is even there. There's a little moiré effect at an angle under light but in every day use it's practically invisible.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Goremael:
Agree with that, the Samsung screen protector is great, it has a very slight orange effect but if you put it with water and littler soap that effect will disappear after a couple of days, also its made of TPU and not PET film so it doesn't scratch very easy...

Thumbs up for Samsung on making its own screen protector. I've always used the Spigen protectors but they are now very expensive and very scratchy and they use the cheapest material (PET film).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ingenious247:
The oleophobic coating. It's a fact, why do you think it wears off after a while..

[Honor 7 Android Development] hachuwaka:
[MENTION=7121092]Caleidoscopio[/MENTION] First, uninstall xposed and unroot your device. Then flash Magisk and phh's superuser app (is the one that the Magisk creator recommends) and finally install Magisk manager's apk and Phh superuser from Play Store.

And if you want Xposed, you have to flash the systemless version from Magisk's thread as well, along with the Xposed apk with material design by dvdandroid.

You can find all the downloads you need in the Magisk thread.
