I have also gotten the clear cover as a free bundle but for me the clear cover fits perfectly with my S8+ and doesn't have any issues that you have mentioned. No dust build up, no scratches left anywhere.

Apart from the fingerprint that the cover also receives on the back (and some greasy fingers greasing the back of the cover), I'm actually pretty surprised and happy with the clear cover as it doesn't sacrifice any beauty of the phone at all and is ultra-thin IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] JasonMason:
This are my scratches with the clear cover (Galaxy S8+)

Only one week in use.

Well, this was the slimmest case I could find, it`s either this or no case at all. Does anyone know a very slim case with button cut outs?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Sharpshooterrr:
Ringke Slim. I've been using it since day 1 on S8+ and some of my previous phones. It's excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] jdomadia:
We don't know what case you received which creates problems.

I cancelled the order for "Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Clear Cover Case" and ordered a "Gostek 2.0 Silver Series" instead.

I just received the case but I'm still waiting for the phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] XmlNode:
I have it on my S8+ and no sign of scratches... fits perfectly well. Yours must be an exception, a faulty piece, i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] kenito24:
Which cover do you guys recommend? I just got my new Galaxy S8+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Batfink33:
The 3T,still got it as a backup. The S8+ is better in every way though, the 3T is like a cheap budget phone beside it.

Spigen Thin Fit case series... simply the best!! :good: ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] stefan063:
My wife has exactly same problem on her S8+. Same size,near same mark.... So maybe whole series of case are defected... Just saying
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] cj31016:
Interesting, I have the same case without any issues. I love the ultra thin design, but I recently moved to the VRS Design Crystal Bumper case. I only moved because I wanted more protection. Case is found here - https://vrsdesign.com/collections/galaxy-s8-plus/products/galaxy-s8-plus-case-crystal-bumper-series.

Highly recommended
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] erider:
I have the same case on mine and no issues. The way those scratches look in the photos, it seems they were caused by the way the case was put on. I noticed that you should slip the top of the phone into the case then press the bottom down into it. If you do it the opposite way, the top of the case is too rigid and I can totally see how it would scratch the finsh on the phone, especially the black one. There is no way the case that's on my phone could even possibly move, nontheless move enough to cause those long scratches. Or maybe as someone stated, there's a batch of defective ones. Personally I love this case, so minimal that it doesnt detract from the look of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] stefan063:
:):):) From top you say?! Of course from top. I am telling all that I have same issue on two devices. Movement is within 1-2mm. Very much noticeable. I have removed case from both phones and phone is great. Definetly don't want any case on them except OEM screen protector. Even screen protector is bad also,like rubber (not tempered) and has this ugly out of glue line around whole protector. But I never mind that. It will stay. At least for now... I realized It is way more scratch resistant than S6 EDGE + I had last from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] spinkick:
I love the samsung oem case. I have the orchid grey one. Make sure to clean this case often on the inside, as pocket dust gets behind the phone just like every case thats not sealed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] BleedCrimson:
Received my S8+, looked at it a few minutes, then immediately put the beast into a UAG case. I have done so with my last 3 phones. Tradition now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] Gi3M0:
About spigen thin fit...it is a great case,but DO scratches the phone,around open cutout.....

[MX Player] vasukinv:
Hi,

I'm writing this request with reference to the post http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/05/02/deal-alert-mx-player-pro-10-cents-countries/.

MX Player has been my all-time favourite video player on Android devices. I have used it quite a few times a long time ago. At the same time, I have equally felt that the price of Rs. 370 for the "Pro" edition to be too high for a video player. Anyway, you have put an enormous amount of effort to develop this amazing application. So I do not have any right to force you to reduce the price or bargain a lot.

Since you're already offering discounted rates for MX Player Pro on Play Store in various European countries and Australia, I believe it wouldn't be wrong to ask you to introduce the offer in the Indian Play Store. Earlier, a popular music player for Android offered the same discount by reducing regular price of Rs. 68 to Rs. 10.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
So.. I noticed I happened to scratch mine on the screen. I have no clue how and when it happened. Just noticed it. I did not have any protection for the screen. Never had them in the past. I did have a case though that lifts the screen up when placed facing down. I also never place my phone with the screen facing down. So I am assuming it happened somewhere else.

Since I bought it from Samsung directly, we have 30 days of free premium care support. Turns out that is through Assurant and they pretty much denied coverage on my device first saying it was not covered. When pressed they said they would cover it but I'd have to pay $99 for a replacement device AND that replacement device COULD be a factory refurbished device.

All bad news.. So I am deciding to return the phone back to Samsung since I am within my 14 days. The scratch is small enough and won't jump out on you... and you can't even see it if the screen is on.

Anyone with a similar experience?

:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] JaeMelo:
I doubt you'll find anyone willing to openly admit to also being as petty as what you've described above. How long do you think you'll keep up this game of exploiting (purchase, damage, return & repeat) before considering adequate protection to combat the OCD?!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] deathshead:
You scratched it and think you are entitled to a brand new phone for FREE?

What are you 12?

This is whats wrong with America these days folks.. smh.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ElBeaner:
My firend out right cracked his S8+, filed a claim, paid $99 and got brand new device

This early in the game, they won't have refurbished units - in a month or so probably yeah

Side note, my wife dropped hers from about 3 ft and it has a scuff on the screen - noticeable but nothing horrible. Slapped a screen protector on it and all is good again. Gorilla Glass 5 is definitely a joke cause they claim should be good from higher distance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] seawolf823:
The feeling of entitlement these days is down right ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
What about the restocking fee are you not worried they might take more than 15% because of the damage?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
Wow. The replies reflect how immature many of you are. You really think Samsung will take a scratched screen back without slapping a fee for it? When I called them to return it, I TOLD THEM IT WAS SCRATCHED. Since I'm within the 14 days and the scratch is small, they said they'll take it but may charge me a little.

I just didn't think it was fair for assurant to charge me $99 for what could possibly be a refurbished device when I'm supposedly enrolled in an insurance program.

Smh

Anyway. The post is more about how easily the screen scratches. I'd rather pay more and get a perfect phone than live with a scratched screen. I remember my first iPhone 6. that I had bought and my kid scratched it. Apple replaced it for a brand new one since it was only 3 days old.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
I think you pay for return shipping also. Then you get to wait for them to process the refund. That tiny scratch costs you almost $150 if you consider time and shipping/insurance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbuff123:
But have you guys scratched your phone too? I don't mind a case. Just don't like them screen protectors that much. It beats the purpose imo
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
I've never scratched any of my phones screens and i never use screen protectors because i hate them also.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Blayz:
scratched my screen, pretty small, not sure how it happened either, typically haven't had any problems with phones in the past, and have been careful

i'm just gonna pay to have the screen replaced in a couple months
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Same here: am always careful and use a lightweight case on all of my phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DualSportDad:
Mine came right out of the box with a scratch. It was a pre-order and head clearly been played with. I immediately called TMobile and filed for a return and ordered a new one. Now my new one might have the home button issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shuuin:
just opened mine yesterday. I kept the film on there was on, and added more tape to make sure i wont get scratches.

I am waiting on screen protectors for back and front
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 2870764:
So I returned my S8 to the store and it happened to have a very very faint small scratch on the screen even though I was careful with it and never rubbed it against anything. I don't know how it got there or if it was on it when I opened the box. BB didn't care though, and I returned it cause I was having other issues with the device. My new one came with a screen protector on it (t-mobile version) that didn't have any print on the protector so I've just left it there and you can't even tell lol. But I did find one screen protector I bought that had good reviews. Link here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XV9X72L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tytanx:
What issue did you say them?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] doome27:
So let me get this...according to your logic it is ok for samsung to sell phones with the worst glass quality ever? There are complaints all over the place regarding the fact that S8 scratches very easy comparing to any other previous version. I also experience issues with this poor gorilla glass 5...having scratched the display after only 2 weeks although I was being extremely careful with the device. We are all having just bad luck? I doubt it.

I'm sure that the only solution is to have a class action lawsuit against Samsung...otherwise their answer will always be that it's the consumer's fault. Unfortunately it doesn't explode like the Note 7 in order to draw so much attention and force Samsung to admit the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] oplix:
I just noticed a giant scratch on front screen. Phone owned less than 1 month never dropped and never mingled together with hard items like keys. This seems almost impossible. I've owned a smartphone since iPhone 4 and I've never seen a phone scratch this fast for no reason.

Corning has some explaining to do as I believe they are fully responsible. They have taken an easy piggyback ride on the smartphone industry and have advanced beyond their wildest dreams because of it. Now it's 2017 and they are releasing products which do not meet standards.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipred:
I totally agree. Corning and Samsung must give an explanation about the scratch resistance of the glass they have put on the S8. I never had problems with scratches on my Samsung devices since gorilla glass 3. What happened this year? Is it a mistake of Corning or Samsung? Do other devices with gorilla glass 5 scratch so easily? I personally bought an ultra thin case (it's the first time i put a case) just to prevent any more scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] guaneet:
They made gorilla glass 5 softer to make it more shatter resistant which in fault causes it to scratch easier.

Harder glass= more shatter/less scratches

Softer glass = reduction in shatter/ more scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingB055:
Same. I never use screen protectors and have never. broken my phones. I've had 4 samsung models since the s4. I just got the s9 and a 50$ portective case. No screen protector because compared to the s6 it is alot more durable. Yet my screen has tons of small scratchs all over the four corners of my screen. WTF! I have know idea how they got there, and I've babied my phone. I dought samsung will repair my phone for free, even though I have a warrentee, because I feel like they would see it as a scam or something. This sucks and I cant seem to be able to find anyone else with this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] authority-check:
After about a week since owning my S8, I noticed several micro scratches on the display. They were only visible with the screen turned off and under the right angle and light, but it was a frustrating experience since I took really good care of it from day one and had not had a phone scratch so easily before. I searched to see if it was just me and quickly found several threads with similar complaints, most often with people reporting the issue within the first weeks of use. I decided to let go and just enjoy the phone. A few weeks later, I looked again and was surprised to see the scratches were gone.

Now, I'm not saying this was or will be the case for everyone affected, and there might in fact be issues with the glass used by Samsung on this model, but in my case it seemed to be a temporary issue caused by some kind of substance they put on top of the display and which wore off as I used the device. I do wonder how many people had the same happen to them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] capuagenclik:
i usually use tempered glass screen protectors but with curved screen I didnt like the ones on the market so I'm going naked . I have a noticable scracth right in the lower middle part of my screen but the thing is I can only notice it when screen is off and if light hits the phone directly. Otherwise while using it you dont even notice it. plus I'm not rich enough to change my phone just because of that scratch.

I will suck it up and use my phone for another 15-20 something months (bought mine in early december 2017) and upgrade it with something else. I may keep this S8 as a backup phone if I believe the scracth would reduce its resale value by too much.

I had my first S8 for three weeks, had a screen protector on it for the first two weeks and multiple different cases.. and within a few days of owning it the whole back was scratched beyond belief from the cases.. Put a skin on to cover all of the scratches and took off the screen protector after ruining it during the skin install. While waiting for the new screen protector to come in the whole front was destroyed from pocket sand and denim.. Sold it immediately when I got my screen protector in and jumped right back to my trust naked iPhone. I just recently picked up a cracked S8 and am putting a new screen on it, Ill be selling this one the second that the screen and new back glass get put on.. Gorilla Glass 5/Samsung's oleo phobic coating is junk.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMadScientist:
gorilla glass 5 in peoples eyes is misconceptive

It is softer than gorilla glass 4 which improves is impact resistance but also as well makes it easier to scratch than 4 as well

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boomshiva:
This bug cannot be fixed . Its due to booloader.lock your bootloader and get back to stock rom . Or else use custom roms that works with locked bootloader .

You can use any automated script for that . Or manually lock it by flashing the dnx and ifwi files through fastboot .

But after I relock the bootloader, can I flash new ROM? And after relock, does it affect to the ROM which im using?
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juyel92:
You are facing screen freeze issue because of your unlocked bootloader. There is no way to fix this issue. Only solution is just revert back to stock firmware. Otherwise there is no option for that.

You can also use any ROM which required locked bootloader. But I don't guaranty you about stability and performance .

No. After relocking the bootloader you will not able to flash the custom ROMs. And also after relocking the bootloader, twrp recovery will also not work.

Custom ROMs, custom kernel, twrp recovery needs unlocked bootloader.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacificGreen:
The application that Navico has released for its line of chartplotters encompassing the following brands; Lowrance, Simrad and B&G line of chartplotters has all the auto pilot functionality coded into the application and is very hard to remove.

You can't just simply remove a function. The code has to be rebuilt from the application side or found complete on the chartplotter. A typical Lowrance HDS7 Gen3 if one could get root on it may very well contain the same code with which to redesign the android .apk file.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] erclalle:
This seems like a no-brainer, but at the moment it seems that (1) DeX only launches when S8 is plugged into the DeX and (2) usb C hubs actually work quite nicely with the s8, providing power, a working USB port (as far as android compatibility goes) and a working HDMI connection.

Is there anyone working on a way to bypass this limitation so that one could force DeX mode with any display connected either by launching the app regardless of the connected dock verifications, or by simulating DeX connection when an external screen is connected?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RoboDan918:
I was just thinking about this too

most likely it's not just working as a hub, though, and there's a module in dex that the s8 is communicating with to launch the service

similar to how the gear vr connection works

it would be insane if samsung were to have left it easy to exploit the software in the phone to work with any usb c hub

still, crazier things have happened on xda
