Will it scratch? Basically I have a screen protector which is very oily and has lots of air bubbles, Im worried if the phone will scratch easily, also my friends have iPhone's?iPod's?iPad's and nothing ever happened to theirs but I would rather have a better opinion.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
Mine hasn't scratched and neither did my previous iPhone or iPod touch. I never used any screen protector either.
I don't put hard objects anywhere near the screen though...
It won't scratch easily but it can scratch... keys in your pocket are pretty good at it.
I had a 3G for 3+ years (with no protector) and it had a few minor scratches... they could only be seen when the phone was off.
Like all glass, it can be scratched.
I have never had an ipod or iphone get scratched. i do not use screen protectors or cases and I keep the iphone in my front pocket ( no keys in the same pocket).
I have gone without a screen protector for a few weeks now and still no scratches. I use an otterbox commuter case without a screen protector.
I put it in my front pocket without anything else in the same pocket. "regular glass" isn't easily scrached by copper, iron, clay, etc. quartz sand will scratch "regular" glass though. Since we don't know exactly what kind of strengthened glass the iphone uses, we can't be too sure about what won't scratch it. But one rule for all scratching... the harder the pressure applied - the more likely a scratch will occur.
Will the iPhone 4S' screen scratch?
