Hey. Got a couple scratches on the screen of my iPhone, I was thinking about using Displex, but it says NOT to use on a touch screen.

Can anyone who’s used Displex vouch that it works on a touch screen and that after using it you ran into no problems. Get back to me. Thanks.

@Funkus
I have no idea what your talking about . The iPhone IS invincible . Kind of . A friend of mine has this huge purse with all her crap in it . Papers , pens , make up , etc . Lady stuff .
She keeps her iPhone there with everything else .

NOT ONE FREAKIN SCRATCH .
NOT O N E .

Kind of sucks because I also baby my iPhone . I gave mine a screen protector and put it in a silicone case . IT IS ALL SCUFFED UP . Seriously it sucks .

I noticed mine gets very scuffed up with tiny scratches on the chrome parts . Anyone else find this ? It’s very annoying because I really try to protect my iPhone and yet it’s all scuffed up /

@JoeyD

displex’s warning is for RESISTIVE touch displays, and not capacitive touch. This is because resistive touch panels have a thin, plastic membrane outer “lens” suspended over a conductive layer, then finally backed with a glass lens. No desire to explain how it works, but the bottom line is the outer membrane that you actually touch on a RESISTIVE touch panel is too soft and very easily scratched by the Displex polish.

The polishing compound is slightly abrasive, and will put fine scratches all over the soft membrane, resulting in a haze with repeated use.

the iphone/ipod touch screen is a capacitative touch screen meaning it senses electrically conductive materials in close proximity. i have been able to use it through my shirt where i dont even have to touch it. i believe the warning for touch screen applies more for pressure sensing touch screens. for this reason, i believe it would work if you were to use it, even being a touch screen

my iphone just got scratched recently, on the back portion, which they say is extremely “scratchable”. it looks like some of the aluminum paint fell off, there’s two small but deep cuts. i dont know how or if a remedy is still available at this point. help?

What they mean by dont use on touch screens are the kind of touch screens where if you press just a little too hard, the lcd screen below wil get distorted. The iPhones actual screen is protected by the glass, so, technically, all you are doing is polishing a pane of glass.
