Didn't even look close till you posted that you had scratches. Me too. They are micro scratches. Damn.

 

I will not be thoroughly inspecting my screen. If I can't see them during normal use, they might as well not exist. No reason to find some and be annoyed.

 

Don't know how much this is worth, but when I bought my phone from Verizon the guy was saying the glass was not as scratch resistant as the original Motorola Droid (which I had before). I was originally not going to buy a protector because i told him i was able to wipe my car keys up and down my Motorola droid without scratching it, but he said it isn't the same type of glass on the HTC Incredible. So I ended up buying it...don't know if he was lying or not to get me to buy the overpriced piece of plastic, but I'm kind of glad I did now after reading this post.

 

I'm not going to go the screen protector way like I did on the original incredible. Air bubbles, scratches, corner pulling up, just a general pain. If this one gets so bad I can't stand it, (which it's not now) it should only cost about the same as three nice screen protectors installed to get a nice new glass. Sooooo, I'm going to keep that smoooooth feel for now.

 

Not what I meant. I just meant that since I haven't noticed any scratches yet, I am not going to go looking for them now that a couple people have noticed them.

 

For some reason I seem to remember that the INC4G didn't come with gorilla glass but I could be confusing it with something else.

 

The screen protectors I use on my original DINC cost $0.65 on amazon and last months with a good install.

 

I had good luck with screen protectors for my OG Incredible, but the first set of them for the Incredible 4g didn't turn out so great. If you notice the glass is raised and my finger kept getting caught on the edge of the screen protector on a swipe-down. Plus there was an ugly bubble near the top, and I didn't like the cut-outs for the proximity sensor.

So I took it off. Although I do appreciate the smoothness of going bareback, it does make me a little nervous. The last thing I need is a scratch in this "Gorilla Glass."

Just wondering if anyone is having any of the same problems with their screen protectors, and if they can truly recommend one that addresses the issues I had?

 

With my original D'Inc I bought a Zagg and put it on myself. Orange peel, curled up edges...the whole works. With the 4G, I had the "best Zagg installer" in my local Best Buy do it and no kidding, I can't see the orange peel!!

 

The incredible 4g does not has gorilla glass. I dont understand why people would think it does, the entire phone has significantly lower quality than the last two versions. Proof being people getting scratches from simply whipping the screen clean. The glass on the inc4g is pure junk.

 

Corning, the maker of gorilla glass, disagrees with you. Corning

 

Probably, usually this is the case.

 

You may be onto something... Have my first micro scratches after a visit to the beach. They are not visible unless you look for them so I'm not too worried. I still wish the phone's glass was worry free.

 

the first day i got my incredible i put ghost armor screen protector on it and it works like a charm... no orange peel, tacky feeling or corners pulling up like the zagg... i had that on my original incredible and it was just a waste... not to mention it got replaced like 4 times
