Just to remind everyone that anecdote != anecdata, I've got a 3xl with one of the fabric cases. No scratches yet, and it's even been dropped a few times with nothing to show for it. In short, I think the screen is great.
It's certainly a far cry from my previous phone (Galaxy S6), which was dented and scratched within a month (maybe two? it's been a few years). I had to give in and buy a protective case for the S6, but I don't see that happening for the 3xl.
Chances are it's very dependent on what you do with your phone, as always. Mine sits on a desk/table or plugged into my car most of the time, and only ends up in my pocket (without keys!) when I'm walking somewhere.
- flavor8 7y agoFor sure. They have a different and more easily scratchable surface though - that's fairly noticeable. I had no change in behavior between it and prior phones. Barely got any scratches from pocketing them over the years, got multiple deep scratches on this one in the first week and more since. Bad batch? Maybe? Still sucks for an $800 phone. (Which I got effectively for free via Fi, so shrug.)
