Try using a non-abrasive toothpaste in a corner of the screen. If it doesn't cloud up try it on the scratch. Depending on the type of plastic it is, you may be able to remove minor scratches. Works well on some sunglasses too. Monty

Alot of cell phones have a protective plastic that covers the screen. If yours did you may be able to peel it off to remove the scrattch. If not there is really nothing you can do.'

Maybe you can find a used broken cell phone (same as yours) at a yardsaloe and take it apart. It may be possible to change the screens. You take a big risk though.

Another option is most cell companies I think have a trade program where you can trade in your phone for a newer model. The catch is your contract with them usually starts over. There may be othr things but you could ask or check out the company website you have a cell phone with and read what they have to offer.

I wonder if the pencils that they sell to get scratches off eyeglasses would work for the cell phone screen? Worth a try. (02/26/2010)

RE: Scratches on a Cellphone Screen

I don't know if it would help now, but the moment I get a new cell, I buy screen protectors. For less than ten dollars, you get about six or seven large sheets. One sheet did not just do my phone, but my daughter's phone, and still had about half the sheet left. I also buy covers for my phones. I have phones that are in better shape at a few years old than some people's newer phones. Invest in both and you won't be sorry. (03/14/2010)
