Screen SCRATCHED

My ipod screen is really scratched...I was wondering, if i brought it to the Apple store would they be able to change the screen or fix it?...and if so whats the price range?..thanx

No they would't be albe to Fix it; Apple does not Fix Screens just because it's scratched.
You can use Applesauce though to remove those scratches

After you have removed the scratches you should buy a screen protector I've heard great things about Invisible Shield although I haven't used it. http://www.shieldzone.com/

IPhone 6 plus screen scratch for no reason

Seriously, I have took really good care of my iPhone 6 plus and have a cover on it. Without any droping, pumping and hurt, the screen scratched And being worse. The most strangest thing is that evey day the flaw becomes more when I weak up in the morning. How can a screem be so fragile. I even did not touch it ! It drives me crazy! Can I go the store to a new one without paying ?

They probably will not replace the phone. Scratching the screen is not covered by the warranty. But they might be able to tell you where these scratches come from if you show them your device and the accessory you use with it, like the case for example.

Ipod Screen Scratches

Hey all, new to the forums so i'm sorry if this has been asked myriad times, but:
I work at a BestBuy selling Ipods/other mp3 players, cell phones (including the Motorola Rokr)/etc etc, so naturally i have people asking me about Ipod videos, nanos, etc all the time. I know just about everything i can know about them, like how to put dvds on (i just broke down and payed $35 for PQ Dvd to ipod (www.pqdvd.com) ), pics, all that and don't have a problem explaining that to people, but everyone seems to ask about the screen scratches/cracks, wanting to know what's going on with the news of class action suits and all that, and one customer mentioned something about apple granting rebates or vouchers or something on the ipod nanos/videos because of the screen scratching so easilly. My point is that I'd like to know what's just a rumor and what isn't (I bought the 60 gb black video as soon as it came out and although i LOVE using it i must admit that i kept it in the protective sleeve 24/7 in my pocket, keeping it seperated from everything else, and in less than a week it had managed to somehow STILL get scratched up) so if apple IS giving vouchers or something I'd love to be in on it, and figured the forums were the place to go to find out what's what.
so any help?
Thanks,

haha well...simply...
No...there are no vouchers and i wouldnt even worry about the class action suit...
all apple has done is started including a sleeve with the ipod nano like the one included with the video.

Iphone 6 screen scratches very easily, just by normal use. Anyone else? What is Apple doing about it! It shouldn't be like that, it is way more fragile than Iphone 5 and 5S screeens!

I disagree. That is the problem with 'opinions'.

Small MacBook Pro screen scratch: Are they normal for a 2+ year old computer?

Hello,
I am writing about a topic that may have been mentioned around on these forums multiple times, scratches on the MacBook Pro screen display. In August 2010, I bought my 2010 MacBook Pro and since then I have been very careful with the screen by avoiding to touch it and clean it around every two to three months. However, today, I was cleaning my MacBook Pro screen and a way I examine the screen cleaness is by placing my iPhone 4S LED flash light illuminating the screen which shows the smudges and dirt that the screen has. Unfortunately, today I found 2 scratches on my MacBook Pro screen which run horizontally, these scratches are very small at around 1mm in lenght. They are not noticeable when the screen is on, which is why the scratch may have gone undetectable up until today when I used my iPhone's LED.
Off course I am a little dismayed because through all my carefullness when I clean the screen (I use a gentle up and down motion to clean the screen), still I was not able to prevent a screen scratch. When I close my MacBook Pro, I still use the plastic material that came on top of the keyboard to avoid any contact of the screen and the keys; I always shake that plastic material before placing it on top of the keyboard . So here's my question is it normal for a almost 2.5 year old computer to have two small scratches as the one I am speaking about.
I did find the screen bezel at Amazon and I may buy one as a spare and store it in a secure place and use it if there are more pronounced screen scratches.
Thanks in advance for any answers and suggestions to my predicament.

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro. I do not take any care to put anything in between the keyboard and screen... I just use it as it was made to be used. I don't take any particular care when cleaning the screen... often, it's just rubbing off a fingerprint with my sleeve or the tail of my shirt. No scratches whatsoever.
How your screen got scratched is not something anyone here can answer. We can speculate, at most, but that's not likely to be very useful. I'd recommend not putting anything between the screen and keyboard when closing the machine. That could very well be the cause of the problem, if something got stuck to that material when you closed it between keyboard and screen.
Thanks for the suggestion... I will apply these changes to my MacBook Pro's storing procedure and remove the plastic out of the equation. What bugs me is the fact that because the scratch is 1mm long and horizontal it tells me that a force dragged the material. The only thing I can recollect is when one time a family member accidentally passed close to my MacBook Pro with his headphone jack disconnected and hanging, unfortunately the metal part scraped over the screen but there were not scratches to detect. The impact area as I recollect is close to the scratch but the force of the impact and travel distance was not something as forceful to create such damage. Maybe the plastic is the culprit which makes me feel disappointed because I was using it to avoid problems rather than creating one. Anyways, I think I'll buy a spare bezel for my MacBook and in case there are more future and pronounced scratches, I will send it to repairs to an Apple Authorized Service Provider and give them the bezel.

MacBook Pro screen scratches?

I'm about to take the plunge and pick-up a MBP this week. First, I hope this is a good idea seeing as how many complaints I read. Anyway, my concern is this; I had a PB 667 way back and I remember that over time the screen got scratched by the keyboard. It was a problem many owners had. What I'd like to know is (and it may be too early for most users) does anyone notice this same thing happening? Should I invest in a screen protector?
Oh, and if you're a positive experience with your MBP, you could mention that too seeing as those posts help calm pre-purchase anxieties.
Thanks in advance. Ciao..

Yes. I have serious screen scratches on my MBP from the base of the keyboard and the top of the keyboard. I travel ALOT and keep my MBP secure in a Brenthaven backpack. Unfortunately, I did not keep the keyboard protector...inconvinent and painfully cumbersome...and now I suffer from screen scratches. But, the scratches aren't so severe that I can't successfully use the computer. I've since found a protector and deal with the inconvience.
Otherwise, I LOVE my MacBook. It was an expensive pain to upgrade software for the Intel, and I had serious anxiety as I traded in my G5 tower. However, I'm now traveling the world as a graphics/video designer, and for me, MacBook is the only option available.
Evaluate why you want to take the expensive plunge and then do it. No regrets.

Iphone 6 screen scratched

I have had my phone since the day it came out and I am already noticing several screen scratches. How do I resolve this issue?

Ok, same here. This cant be real! I have watched the phone very much and today in the morning I have seen about 5 to 8 scratches. This can't be real. I was having iPhone 4, 4S, 5S and no one did have so much scratches in years like this one (iPhone 6 4.7) in 3 days of use! I was shocked! One scratch you can fill with fingernail. This can't be. Im very disapointed! For the phone in this price rank this is not acceptable! In 3 days of use the screen is like it would be 2 years old! On my Android that I was have it for 2 years before this phone there is not so much scratches like this! I hope Apple will do something about this!

Macbook Pro 13" Screen scratch?

Well, I purchased my 13" Macbook Pro earlier this year, roughly march time, and since, have been very careful with it, with the intent of keeping it for a long time inn pristine condition. A little bit of OCD I guess.
Well, what I've noticed is a scratch, about an inch long at the bottom-middle of the screen. This is pretty frustrating, as I'm very sure that it wasn't due to my carelessness with cleaning the screen, or something of mine rubbing against it. I've read up on online, and I'm not the only one that this has happened to, it's a "design flaw" apparently. Well, it's really unpleasant to look at, and I was wondering if Apple could do anything about this?
Cheers!

I understand what you are saying. On the other side, I have had my MBP for 3.5 years - lots of opening and closing and transport - with no such scratching. AFAIK, there is no recommendation from Apple to use such protection.

IPod Nano Screen Scratches - ENDED FOR FREE!

Are you tired of how eaisly the iPod Nano scratches? I was, but didn't want to invest in a case that would increase the perfectly small size, nor an expensive film that might not work. I have come up with a free solution. If you go to your local shoe store that sells the brand Phat Farm, and look at a pair of shoes, almost every pair has a static cling film that goes over the "P" symbol. I have found that if you take one of these films (it just peels off, it's a protection for shipping), and use a glass wipe to clean both your iPod and the film, that it sticks perfectly to the screen, and doesn't add too much glare. Even better... it's free! This will also work for any iPod screen, and any part of the iPod that isn't porous!

Also, to anyone who is kind and interested, as I work at a shoe store, and got permission from my manager, I have spare films that I would be willing to send out to anyone who wants one (or multiple). I have sizes that work for almost any non-porous surface, so mostly any iPod.

24" Imac intel outer screen scratched

Just wanted to know if the outer screen of the LCD can be replaced? I accidently scratched it with a metal ruler and now I have a 4" scratch (grove) on the screen.
Thanks

There is nothing available to polish the screen, not even a solution from the aviation industry as the screen plastic is actually too soft and flexible for abrasives. If the screen were glass, a solution is easy to find. All I can offer is to clean the computer screen and apply a tiny amount of Vaseline to fill in the scratch. Wipe off the excess, leaving the scratch filled with the Vaseline.
If this is not acceptable, clean the screen again and you are back to square one. I have used this method in dealing with a scratched plasma screen, it worked fine.

24" Imac intel G5 outer screen scratched

Just wanted to know if the outer screen of the LCD can be replaced? I accidently scratched it with a metal ruler and now I have a 4" scratch (grove) on the screen.

FYI, an Intel-based iMac is NOT a G5. The G5 is a PowerPC based processor.

IPod screen scratch resistant? I don't think so

After just 2 weeks of using my new iPod touch, the screen got an about 2mm long scratch on the screen. Unfortunately, I have no clue how this came about, as I always carried it in my pocket, making sure it wasn't with keys/other sharp objects.
I'm wondering if this is covered by the warranty in any form, or if I'm just out of luck? Guess I'll have to call support when I get the chance to find out exactly.
Anyone else have had their screen get scratched that easily?

Well, I have no other issues with the iPod, screen is crystal clear (week38), no issues as the 'inverted black' so I'm not sure if this would warrant an exchange / free repair. Luckily it's only a small scratch, but very noticeable and annoying when watching movies

Iphone 6 plus screen scratch without dropping the phone

Purchased my iPhone in November and a good case for it minus the screen guard. After 2 months of use, there is a thin line which cannot be felt from the top till middle of screen. Taken it to an authorized service center but received a denial stating that it is a physical damage and this is not covered under warranty.
I am sure many others would be facing a similar issue but would like to know if there is any solution to this issue like a replacement. Cost mentioned to me for a screen replacement is Rs.26500/-.

Yes glass can be scratched. Yes scratched screens are not covered under warranty. Incase you are not clear what the service centre told you about your options you can ether replace the screen, buy a new phone, or keep the phone as is.

Display on screen scratched on the inside?

My MacBook pro (13 inch retina) is currently experiencing severe issues with the display. There seems to be what looks like a fine, white horizontal scratch on the bottom left of the screen, yet there is no visible external scratch. The issue has caused a large flickering vertical black bar (similar to dead pixels) on the left side of the screen. There are thin purple and blue lines inside the bar. I don't know what could have caused this, as I have not spilled, dropped, knocked, or harmed the computer in anyway. The one year warranty is still valid, but Im scared that when I take it to get looked at they'll pass it off as "accidental damage" and thus void of the warranty. Suggestions?

There are thin purple and blue lines inside the bar.
That indicates your LCD is destroyed, there is no repairing that and any scratch would make no difference in such a case where the LCD is destroyed.
At some point in some manner the interior LCD has taken a physical stress causing a LCD "bleed"
Contact Apple, your entire monitor must be replaced.

My iPhone 5c Screen Scratches Easily

I got my iphone 5c a week ago today. I feel like the screen is alot worse than my old 4. My 4 never had a scratch on the screen and i had it for over 2 years. On this 5c i literally have 10 major scratches on the screen. The back of the phone is in perfect condition. I've never even dropped the phone or anything. Im really annoyed because i payed alot for the phone and it scratches up. Im OCD about it and cannot stand it. What should I do? Is there anyway I could get them removed or do I contact apple? Thanks everyone.

i have the same issue
i bought brand new 5c like 2 weeks ago
the first day i bought it,i haven't even put my sim card yet, i look at the screen there is 2 scratches on the right side of the screen,
i always treat my phone gentle & never put it on rough surface
and then at night i checked the back cover there's also scratches on it.
then i decide to put a screen protector on. this never happened on my old iphone 4
use my iphone 4 for like 3years with no protectors.
i believe the quality has down
