The only scratch test I want to see.

I'm sick of all these scratch tests where you rub objects on top of the screen. Or jiggle change in a bag with the phone in it. Or even drop it down the stairs. Means nothing to me.

I want to see a naked phone, no case, no protection, and see three things happen.

1. Rub the phone on the jeans, cargo pants, or whatever rough pants you are wearing that held any elements from day to day living. Sometimes I brush the phone on my pants leg to remove fingerprints or water or dust.

2. Face down phone on a table. Rub the phone all over the table. Wax on, wax off.

3. Face down phone on concrete. Same as before... Rub phone on the ground face down. Wax on, wax off.

Let's see if it scratches.

Any takers that will shoot a video of this request? Lol.
 
I also noticed the VZ store model near me was extremely scratched.

That's why I want to see a scratch test that replicates what happens in real life. We all know the store model was not exposed to sand down at the beach. I'm really sick of all these tie a phone to the back of a car and see if it scratches tests that keep popping up. Lol.

Double post... Don't know how to delete.
 
Erm. Store models aren't subject to "rough pants" either. More like hundreds or thousands of people with rings on who couldn't care less if they scratched it.

In 2 years or whatever, your scratch test results will be in
 
Sand will scratch it for sure. It is scratch-resistant not scratch-proof, so do not expect miracles. I have a been using mine in the dessert for over a week now, and and no scratches so far.
 
Mine got scratched from sand when I was on holiday. But then I applied a screen protector which then somehow hidden the scratches.
