Is the scratch on the screen protector or the actual screen?

I have an iphone 5, and have had a screen protector on it since the day I got it.
The other day I noticed a scratch near the middle of my screen. When there's a white, or lite background the scratch shows up with a rainbowish effect.
Is it likely that the scratch is just on the screen protector?

Possibly, But more likely the light is just refracting off the scratch on screen saver and making that rainbow effect because the toughened glass on iPhone makes it hard to get a scratch deep enough to do that.

Take the screen protector off for a minute and flash a white screen to find out. They aren't hard to take off and put back on for my Android. But honestly I wouldn't worry about it. Possibly get a new screen protector as the old one seems ruined either way, and you probably don't want a raindrop to fall on that scratch if it is screen deep.

How about you take the screen protector off and have a look? Do you have Down syndrome? Sorry that is an insult to people that do, of course you do.

  • Would a screen protector hide screen scratches? So I just got a new iPhone 5 last week and today I noticed that It has 2 hair sized scratches on the screen. And it's really annoying me because it's new and it already has scratches. ( probably from coins in my pocket) The scratches are really, really small, so will a screen protector hide them?
