This is how i look at it.... I'm always out with friends,someone needs the phone I toss it to them...if it hits the ground I shrug. Between the case and the RealLook I dont worry much. The phones in my pocket with dice and a lot of change, if I have a good beer and I want to remember it, I toss the cap in there so I remember the name in the morning. I got a reallook screen protector a little bit after getting the vibrant. its been on there since at least last November. I have one single scratch on the screen protector and people always go "OH MAN! you scratched your screen!" you can not even tell the thing is on there. Its 10 bucks for two of them and if applied correctly... you wont need the 2nd one. Mines still going strong.

I would recommend the RealLook to anyone.
[Vibrant Accessories] nspeer:
My cell phone dealer did a demonstration with a Vibrant whereby he took an ink pen and repeatedly banged on the screen with it. Not a mark was made. You don't need a screen protector with this screen.
[Vibrant Accessories] scaremenga:
I dropped my phone onto rocks the other day, it fell about 3-4 feet. The screen landed on the rocks... when I went to pick it up I ended up sliding it across the surface.. and then dropped it again.

Today: No scratches.
[Vibrant Accessories] madguitarist63:
This is a tough screen but not indestructable. I can say that mine never scratched and still has no scratch but I dropped it from 4 feet on concrete and my screen is now cracked. It is right on the side so I believe it was just bad luck. Ive dropped it grom farther and nothing happened. So again I believe it just landed in a weak spot
[Vibrant Accessories] smali26:
I wanna see a picture?

I don't have a screen protector and i don't believe in them for products with gorilla glass.

Its a gimmick to sell useless products.

I have a vibrant and a galaxy tab and never got a scratch on it.

Because i am careful with it.

If you take care of something that you spent a ton of money on then it is your responsibility to take car of it.

If it gets and incredibly deep scratch then its your doing and carelessness that cause it.
[Vibrant Accessories] Alex530:
+1. Ive had my vibrant since launch day and it has a couple scratches. All of which are my fault, I am certain that this phone has gorilla glass because off all the hard falls its had.. now the scratches that my phone has are completely my fault. If you have a scratch on your phone you are the one to blame not the company, that'll get you no where..
[Vibrant Accessories] Paging Dr B:
I don't see how this is even a thread. It's glass; Glass breaks. Class dismissed.

^^ hahaha word
[Vibrant Accessories] ionic7:
I had a vibrant for a few months with out a screen protector and never scratched it once so my guess is you are just an idiot.
[Vibrant Accessories] jeremiah_mn:
Wow, my phone has a deep scratch in it, but at the same time I've never scratched it? WTF?
[Vibrant Accessories] David111jr:
lmao lightsaber
[Vibrant Accessories] bobloblawsum:
i had one replaced because of sd card failure last year but just before i sent the old one back i did a bit of scratch testing myself on the screen :D

extremely confident in gorilla glass, but still take care of it like it's $500 in cash
[Vibrant Accessories] subtyler:
Going on 8 months with no screen protector, not a scratch on it. Don't baby it one bit. Goes right in my pocket with my keys.
[Vibrant Accessories] FATEOWNZYOU:
I have had my vibrant since the day it has come out with no screen protector or case.. i have dropped my phone ALOT of times (i would say in the hundreds) on concrete. And my phone has nics and scratches all over it.. everything except the glass on it
[Vibrant Accessories] Paging Dr B:
I never understood why they made tether lanyard holes on the top of the phone until I read your post. Buy a lanyard / Save your phones life. ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] Orikon:
I've had my vibrant since June of 2010 (10 months) and i have not yet got even the slightest scratch on the screen with no screen protectors, no cases, no custom backplates.

However, I've dropped it a few times and just regular use has scratched the fingerprint-magnet shiny plastic backplate.

The silver plastic around the screen has one scratch in it which i believe was caused by dropping the phone on tile. There is a small gray line around the corner of the screen in the bottom right that follows the screen around the corner.

I dropped my phone on a street last Halloween and it had some dirt on the back (screen was face down) so i believe it must have been stood on or run over.

This screen is seriously one of the BEST most DURABLE screens i've ever had the pleasure to use. The Zune HD screen is the same way (I have one). Not a scratch on that either and it has no protection on it.

I hate the feel of screen protectors, the bubbles even minor, and the peeling of the edges and I can say that this phone doesn't even need one.

The only change I'd make is I would give the phone a more durable backplate (i think somebody was selling some that looked nice on these forums but I didn't have the money for it. :( )
[Vibrant Accessories] Burner2K0:
I've had my Vibrant since late July. Until now, I've always had a screen protector applied, and it's STILL not scratched, not even during in between changing protectors :P
[Vibrant Accessories] mystycs:
Never had a screen protector and only have 2 small tiny scratches since july!
[Vibrant Accessories] boystuff:
hmm the misconception is that people think it's scratch resistant. the glass is just more flexible giving it a less likely chance of breaking on an impact. thats it.
[Vibrant Accessories] bobloblawsum:
It is scratch resistant though.
[Vibrant Accessories] sgreene84:
Damnnnnn!!!!
[Vibrant Accessories] Abu-7abash:
I've taken off the screen protector for about 2 months now and since then I've took some good care of it. Always alone in my pocket, no headphones, keys or anything actually. Until yesterday, and it was all good, the glass and the whole phone not even the tiniest clue of a scratch. But yesterday, while I was locking the car and carrying some stuff I bought, I accidentally put the keys in my right pocket which I always use to hold my keys and by the time I realized that and took them off while checking the screen I noticed a small scratch in the upper corner barely touching the view screen.

Damn I was really mad, my first mistake and BAAAM! :(
[Vibrant Accessories] Andreal:
Over one month without protector, Vibrant have met keys and another phone (with metal casing) in my pocket - no tiny scratch so far.
[Vibrant Accessories] seedofchaos:
Ive never had a screen protecter and I had (my first vibrant) for almost a year(had to exchange because of broken usb port) never had scratches or anything. The only thing I dislike about not having a screen protecter is the screen gets oily

I use swype so expect bad grammar and errors :D
[Vibrant Accessories] Paging Dr B:
I have a screen protector and my screen gets oily; You're not missing anything. ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] marlopainter:
I pulled the stock protector off after a few days. NOTHING is wrong with the glass and I bought mine in early August 2010. Nine months later and all I got is a minor ding in the case from dropping it on concrete. I'm having the opposite experience the OP is. I beat down my phones and the Vibrant is taking the abuse. My G1 looked it went through hell when I traded up. IMO, it will be hard to replace the Vibrant. But then again, I thought that about my G1. :D
[Vibrant Accessories] epakrat75:
Where do you let a 800 pound gorilla sit? Anywhere he wants. (has said Gorilla sit on Vibrant) Still working? Good. :D
[Vibrant Accessories] opiomorph:
It's a $600 device. If you treat it like one, it won't get scratches/cracks/whatever.
[Vibrant Accessories] carlosmann22:
I've had my vibrant since approximately last November without screen protectors and I've even tried scratching it with a knife and still no scratches on the screen.
[Vibrant Accessories] Alex530:
Op=troll
[Vibrant Accessories] meddmaxx:
Im not using any too, and i have no scratch almost 4 mounths nw
[Vibrant Accessories] LabattZ:
Owner since release day. Naked from the start and not a single scratch on my Gorilla Glass. A few dings on the bezel and the backing.... but nothing more.

I carry my Vibrant in my pants pocket. Sometimes with change, a few times with keys but normally by itself.

+1 Gorilla Glass
[Vibrant Accessories] Jed Dignazio:
Everyone that thinks the glass wont scratch easily is wrong. I liked the screen much better without a protector on it so I thought the same thing thinking , its gorilla glass so I shouldnt be too worried right? Wrong 2 months in I have scratches all over and I never dropped it once or had keys in my pocket, so dont be surprised when It happens to you too.

Attatched pic:
[Vibrant Accessories] bobloblawsum:
I think i read somewhere that the Sprint Epic didn't use gorilla glass. I've personally taken a key to my old vibrant (international) that was getting replaced and it didn't do a thing
[Vibrant Accessories] BananaPhone69:
Keep the protector on. If you had looked at threads from oter phones with GG, you would know it still scratches! Plus, it's not like you were early to the vibrant party. Should have known better.
[Vibrant Accessories] g.sembhi:
i guess its 99.9% scratch proof
[Vibrant Accessories] CB620:
No scratches on mine
[Vibrant Accessories] horseycraze:
I've had mine for 6 months with a naked screen and it still looks good as new.

(I will probably shatter it today...there, jinx undone).
[Vibrant Accessories] kuechlea1:
I think the glass is pretty tough myself

I have had my Vibrant for almost a year. I am a general contractor by trade (carpenter) and have my phone on the jobsite all day long. My phone doesnt have a single scratch on it. Clearly your phone didnt get a scratch from an empty dry pocket because if it did, mine would be destroyed by now. It bounces around in my tool belt all day with screws and nails and chisels and tape measures and.............. You get the point. Oh, and no screen protector or case either.
[Vibrant Accessories] lotherius:
Undead Thread. Can a mod just stake it already so it can die finally?
[Vibrant Accessories] texas_born:
Mine has a tiny scratch. I never put anything else in the same pocket as my phone. I have dropped my phone from about 4 or 5 ft and it landed straight on the glass. The battery and battery door popped off but the screen did not shatter and I did not have any other scratches besides the one I mentioned above. The only thing damaged was the chrome bezel.
[Vibrant Accessories] scrizz:
I have dropped my phone a couple times on concrete.

I have owned my phone since July/2010

I have a grand total of ZERO scratches on the screen.

My screen is BARE NEKKID.
[Vibrant Accessories] texdroid:
i have small scratches on the bottom by the samsung logo so yes gorilla glass is scratchable so put a screen protector on it.
[Vibrant Accessories] nasgadth:
yeah i got scratches too, now im using screenguard no matter what phone is
[Vibrant Accessories] :
Have had mine since a couple of days after release (T-Mobile). Used a Zagg invisibleShield for a month or so until I decided I couldn't deal with the extra friction and pulled it off. I'm careful not to put anything in the pocket with the phone, and I have no scratches on the screen. I have some scratches on the case and bezel from dropping it, or from general use, but the screen is flawless.
[Vibrant Accessories] kaintfm:
I can attest to Gorilla glass being not-as-durable as advertised. I've had my Vibrant for less than a month, and under light I can see, and with my fingernail I can feel a small crack toward the upper mid left of the screen. I don't use a screen protector, but I've never dropped it, I always press gently (it does tend to pick up even the lightest brush against the screen, so no reason to mash), and I keep it face down in my pants pocket with nothing else. Can't imagine my upper thigh mashing the thing.
[Vibrant Accessories] neo_x22000:
I have no scratches on my screen at all...I have no screen protector...I keep my phone in my pocket at work and I work in a metal shop also I keep it in my pocket when im out on my quad...I think gorilla glass is amazing!!
[Vibrant Accessories] whatever5:
if it wasn't you then it must have been someone else. my vibrant has been naked since the day I got it from the tmobile store and the screen is just like I bought it minus the fingerprints, but yea realook or a good screen protector is a good investment but don't buy tmobile's cheap protectors I did and I threw it away
[Vibrant Accessories] numberoneoppa:
Errr, guys, the Vibrant doesn't have Gorilla Glass. :P
[Vibrant Accessories] Jed Dignazio:
Err, yes it does.

[Vibrant Accessories] xringo:
same here , i had my headphones in my pocket not connected to the phone and the cable thingy kinda might have graced the screen and i had a screen protector on as well , it did't help one bit , i have a little deep cut on the side of my phones screen ,pisses me off , what a lie samsung told us!
[Vibrant Accessories] Jed Dignazio:
Well, I found the culprit of my scratches. It turns out my Titanium wedding ring scratches the display very very easily!! Just a light graze with the ring creates a visible scratch, just tested it! So I guess it happens when I go to put the phone in my left front pocket and it slides out of my hand into my pocket and grazes the screen at times! So either I need to learn to put it in my right pocket or loose the ring! lol
[Vibrant Accessories] itsjusttim:
Easy solution ... gotta lose the ring. Haha
[Vibrant Accessories] orionl:
I've had my Vibrant for almost a year, I've had it knocked out of my hand several times, had it drop screen first onto gravel once when I was on the phone and someone bumped it out of my hand, I've even had it in the same pocket as my keys a few times when I was in a rush and wasn't fully paying attention. Doesn't have any sort of screen protector on it, the bezel and the back cover have a few nicks but the screen is still flawless. I don't know if some people just got unlucky with their screens, or if I just got really lucky with mine, but I'd have to say this screen is just as durable as my Zune HD's. Lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] epicfailguy2:
I saw in the forum that a lot of people are searching for websites selling SGP silk, slider or sgp leather cases. (sgpstore.com currently only sales stuff for iphones... so sad)

This french export website has all of them, even zenus and lamborghini cases that cannot be found on ebay (however I ordered a SGP slider but unfortunately it will only be in stock mid-september, other stuff seems in stock tho).

Registered shipping is not cheap, so maybe you guys would like to make one big grouped order to the US (and share a little of custom fees ahah) ! If someone wants to be the manager for that he can use this thread. However if you feel lucky or oder something around 20$ if I were you i'd take the risk of the 5$ slow shipping. The admin also told me that for air parcel registered orders you can ask them to put the order as "gift" thus lowering drastically the chance of having a custom fee to pay, if you take EMS shipping you are 100% sure to pay that fee. So I don't really know what would be the cheaper, a very big grouped order, or a lot of little air parcel orders as gift, your call. Anyway the stuff being totally non existant at any US or european reseller, even if you change your mind or are not satisfied with a case I'm pretty sure you can resell it locally very fast at a higher price than your order, hell you could even auction it on ebay, I'm pretty sure it could ramp up to twice it's value.

Keep in mind the stuff there is for galaxy S i9000, cases will fit the vibrant, but the screen protectors may not, so beware.

Here it is, 4 pages of high quality cases and stuff. I checked the prices with gmarket in korea and they are about the same with shipping and screen protector included. Example on gmarket you can get a sgp gariz case for about 70000 won with shipping, here it is at about 80000 won with the same registered air parcel shipping. A fair price if you ask me. The customer service is very good, they speak both french and english perfectly and answered my questions within 5/6 hours ! There's also a lot of reports that this site is trustworthy over other forums.

If this post is against the rules, well, just tell me and i'll delete. :D

If you want some extra pictures about how the SGP cases shape are in closeup and other angles, theres some video reviews there : http://www.galaxy-s.fr/

Here's the vintage one for the laziests of you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5skWNooz7LE

The videos and pictures are not in french :P they are silent ^^ so heh. And chrome translate is your friend for the articles. I also saw that guy put a review of a very nice and cheap clamshell case, but his website is out of stock, anyone seen this case elsewhere ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] a7mdo:
well there is nothing there that i havent seen in ebay...
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Mikulec:
I bought sgp screen protector from this site for my SGS without problem. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] epicfailguy2:
Please link me to the ebay store where you can find gariz or legend leather cases then.

Sgpstores only sells sgs screen protector atm.

I asked sgpunited on ebay, he says he'll have the leather cases in two weeks on ebay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Ptechnix:
Another alternative is http://cretouch.com/ which is where I ordered my Ultra-Oleophobic shield.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Shin0chan:
the vintage looks pretty cool in that video. Too bad they don't just have a back cover only; expecting my phone to fall off while using that case lol.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] epicfailguy2:
They have new cases :

Back cover only Zenus vintage : http://www.exportprive.com/advanced...escription=0&keywords=galaxy S&sort=2a&page=5

Cases with kickstand 4 colors (black gold/ black silver / light red / white ) : 8$

I bought Sandisk memory & SGP Ultra Capsule. Very good prices and services!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Spartoi:
I was going to order from here until I got to the credit card info and was asked my birth date. I find that highly suspicious, and seeing next to none feedback about the website I decided not to order. (I really wanted their kickstand case too.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] epicfailguy2:
Actually, having a redirection to your bank's website asking your birthday number is what most secured websites do.

I already ordered from them with alertpay I had no problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] epicfailguy2:
woops wrong thread
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hristo2000:
Hi, there. I bought this product:

http://www.exportprive.com/anymode-...attery-cover-galaxy-i9000-orange-p-13600.html

....and I would like to express my disapointment.

ADVANTAGES: It is really a natural leather....it feels like and smells like natural leather.

DISADVANTAGES:

1. The cover doesn't fit very well. All edges are visable.

2. Build quality is low.

3. It is made by a very thick plastick, so it makes the phone ticker.

4. The price is 45 $, so it doesn't wort it.

Repost from thread: http://xdaforums.com/show...=771578&page=3

Hey Guys,

I have a GT-i9000 (Unlocked) and after a few firmware upgrades I have been noticing worse call receptions (more drops) and worse 3G data performance.

For example, I once had near perfect reception and few call drops along my drive home, now (5 firmwares later) I have been dropping calls like my old iPhone (actually worse) and what is more upsetting, yesterday my friends with their iPhones all had signal while I was getting the no service icon.

While i know the Captivate users can use the i9000 kernels (but swapping out the modem file) I wonder if anyone knows if I can use their Captivate modem file (JG8) instead of the one that comes with JM7 to fix my issues with reception and 3g performance .

What functionality will i lose? I travel to Germany often, will that cause issues with 1900Mhz and 2100Mhz bands ?

Is there any other reason that my signal would be so poor?? I really need help with this.....

Is anyone else using an unlocked i9000 on AT&T and having poor voice calls (signal/drops)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plemen:
What firmware are you using now? I would like to see if this relates to my issue.

I'm using JPC on my Bell i9000m and am starting to wonder if the reception is not as good as with JH2... I am contemplating using the JH2 modem file with JPC to see if it helps...

Coincidentally, I'll be in the US in a few weeks so I want to ensure I have good reception on AT&T as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtkbee:
i am using JM6
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtkbee:
Just tried the modem from the the Captivate JG8, it would not even install.

So I am running JM7 now.

I will see how many dropped calls i get today.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plemen:
JPC stopped booting for me and I am on JM7 as well - I'll post my comparative results as well tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurtkbee:
Just did some tests with my wife's iPhone (3gs) and my galaxy s.

Passing the same dead zone and her phone could make calls and mine would fail.

I wonder if i put it on gsm mode only if that would help.
