This is probably the most scratch resistant phone I've ever used. I was waiting on a so called special screen protector arriving from China. This took several weeks and during this time I didn't even get a single scratch. Not even minor. I applied the screen protector but absolutely hated it. It felt awful and also affected the contrast of the excellent screen so I peeled it off and binned it within 10 minutes. I've had my phone for about 3 months now and still I don't have any scratches. It's better than Gorilla glass in my experience. Of course, it helps not to be carelass by thowing it in your pocket with keys or loose change etc. I always make sure I put it in a pocket solo.
