iPhone 6 screen easily scratched?

Have been taking EXTREMELY good care of my 6+, but the corners already have visible scratches. Anyone else experiencing this?

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8

What install blade? I'm using Zagg Glass, which self seats on the glass and requires absolutely nothing other than aligning it correctly to seat it in the right place. Maybe you should look up a YouTube video on the application of Zagg Glass screen protectors. Never mind, since you see to know so much, I've provided one. It's not of an iPhone 6 installation, but it's exactly how it works on iPhone 6.

Looks very much like some super-users have shown up and spun this conversation entirely out of control, which was likely the intention. Oh, and we've got someone selling Zagg screen protectors here too.


The core issue is still the same: iPhone 6's are either coming out of their boxes scratched or are scratching way, way too easily within hours or days. After my junk experience with an Apple Genius, the manager of the store called me and is bringing me in to replace my phone outright, so it seems Apple is indeed acknowledging the issue at some level.


Stop hocking Zagg products and spinning the discussion.

OK, if people are starting to really get their iPhones replaced for this, I might just have to get a go at it then, will be doing that this weekend 😀


And it does seem like he's trying to sell some Zaggs, but I don't want to outright say that as he might not. Zagg is a reputable brand that does make good screen protectors (which is why someone might suggest them?), though I'd rather not having to use one on my phone as I never really have had a need for one in the past... Until this happened. Even then, I'm not convinced that I should need a screen protector for glass unless I'm out on the beach or playing with iron/diamonds 😝

I agree entirely. I have never used a screen protector in any of my seven iPhones. And none of them, not one, has a scratch. They're all in pristine condition and make for quite the collection.


However, I am picking up a Zagg Glass before I return to the Apple Store and I'm going to put it on at the Genius Bar before I leave. You're right, Zagg is reputable and makes good gear, that's why I'm going to use their screen protector for the first time ever. But how many times do you have to mention their brand in a popular thread about iPhone scratching before it just looks like an outright SEO play?


All in all, I hope Apple ups their game. Their QA seems to be suffering as of late.
