It might be worth a try getting an invisible shield or a clarivue to hide the scratch.

I bought a used ipod touch and a used iphone. Both had scratches on the screens, applying those zagg shields really did help hide the scratches, they are now almost unnoticeable....

I had the worst time applying this protector - not sure why but just would not sit straight for me.

On the subject of scratches - I have heard tell of using either toothpaste or a fine polishing product for cars.

Yeah the zagg is a real pain to put on, but once it is on properly it does its job. Though I've had issues in the past with lint on the edges, it does have a lifetime warranty fwiw

I got the Zagg full body shield on my N900.. It was a b!tch to install and was kind of worth it.. The only downside is there is no protection for the corners/side of the screen area.. I have 2 little scratches on the bottom right and top right of the side of the screen.. Not on the actual screen itself but on the "metal/plastic" outer lining area..

Anyone know how I can remove or improve these 2 little scratches? Thanks in advance.

Please do not use polishing compounds on resistive screens. No matter how fine, you will regret it. Get a screen protector and apply. You will not see the scratches under the protector, and it will feel like new.

Ahoy, I am wondering if there is any update on this thread.

Did you ever get to try idrops?

My Screen Prot is still coming (i used to have durasec and ripped it right off, it was way to rubbery and then got the scratch the next day...karma aye).

I have like half the screen kind of hazy, I simply placed my phone in my jeans pocket took it out and its terrible.

I am wondering if anyone had any luck?

Which durasec? Hitec?

Yeh i think it was, I have ordered a whole bunch off ebay to test them out.

The rubbery feel just completley limits the phone.

Makes it feel resistive again.

Thanks Timooz, cant wait.

Unfortunately the idrops thing is useless , i even have more scratches on my screen after i applied it , and the old 2 tiny ones are deeper and more visible. Very disappointed , i want to replace my screen now.
