Small scratch on screen: any suggestions?

I dropped my phone and now there's a small scratch on the screen. Any idea on how to repair it?

sorry to read that m8, does the screen still continue to work correctly? I hope so for you...
Anyway, did you have the screen protection film? it is worth having it and cheap (40 RMB).

Oh man, that blows. Ever hear a grown man cry? You would if that happened to me.

Considering it's a capacitive touchscreen, you will probably need to do some Googling. I wouldn't trust any plastic polish without evidence that it won't damage the conductive film. One brand, Displex, specifically states it's not recommended for touchscreens. I've used Novus Plastic Polish before and would normally recommend it for just about anything...except this. Maybe try emailing Novus and asking??

one word: displex.

displex, Cell Phones PDAs, Video Games items on eBay.com

yea would say that too
but never tried it

Please people, as I already wrote Displex is NOT recommended for touchscreens. If you have used it on a touchscreen device, please detail your experience, otherwise a simple Google search will give you results like this:

The scratch isn't very big. And with the screen protector on it now, you can only seen the scratch at a certain angle with the screen off so i might be able to live with it.

So the touch screen is plastic? I always thought it was glass. But i will talk to novus and see if it works. Thanks for the tip!

I do not advise you to use any type of scratch remover on a glass screen, it would just cause more hairline scratches that will become very visable. Scratch remover work by wearing down the area you applly it to so that it becomes even with the scratch. This would not work too well on glass because glass is not soft like plastic is.

Is the scratch on the screen protector or on the M8 touchscreen itself?

Not really on topic, but is M8 screen scratch resistant without screen protector? I mean by everyday use, not dropping it :P

i made a leathercase for it so it looks like new after one week intensive using..

i think you can compare the quality with the m6 player? mine has some very little scratches after one year usage

scratch is on the screen itself. If it were on the protector i would just go to daiso to buy one for 2 bucks

as strong as the glass is, it's no match for pavement.

I also just ordered a silicone case and a hard plastic case on ebay. i'll tell you guys how they are once they arrive
