Yeah,it looks like it is scratched but I don’t think it is.It came off.But this very straight lines are still there.I bought it yesterday and it came today.It doesn’t have protector yet,because I was going to put it.Fortunately, I saw these concerning lines first.I can’t feel them, they seem like they are inside screen.
