Poll of the Day > will surface scratches on a phone screen hurt anything? effect touch screen

(+) Yeah! (+)

performance? i didn't realize when using a flash light that there's maybe under 10. i clean with a microfiber cloth. not sure if this will ever effect performance? thank you.

bro this isnt a cell phone message board

but yeah your phone is fucked and will probably stop working in a month

you don't use a screen protector?

1. Scratch it with a sharp object
2. do some touch sensitivity tests
3. ?????
4. Profit!

i don't think the iphone supports subsurface scattering

no my mom said she planned on getting one when she got the phone, but didn't end up getting one.

i have a pixel 6a, any recommended ones on amazon that wont interfere with touch response? thinking about bringing it up again.

would i need to take the case off to put one on? idk how to remove the case.

if you scratched up your screen it's already a little too late

It won't fix the existing ones, but it'll prevent further scratches or cracks that might be more consequential. Unless the phone is already so broken as to need a new screen or to be replaced, it's a good idea to get one.

they're minuscule ones, cant see them without a bright light like from a flash light.

adjl is right. you can at least put one on to keep it from being any worse.

Go get a glass one

That WAS the link for the pixel 3 glass, I checked from my orders. However, I bought this one with my pixel 3 in 2019 and it's still in damn good condition. I've dropped it several times surely over those 5 years, and I have the very tiniest hair line fractures no more than a centimeter long. I never noticed them. I only noticed now shining a bright light on them. Screen works completely fine.

I would buy them again for my newer phone.

You will probably have to take the case on to put it on right, and ABSOLUTELY MAKE SURE THERE'S NO DUST. Once you put it on, you'll have to put a new one on. The adhesive on mine lasted this entire time, never showed peeling.

Go glass every time, and not some plastic thing, eventually those peel and wear down, glass won't.
