My tip is just to leave it alone. Anything you do to try to remove or repair the problem, could make it worse.

I know that is not what you want to hear, but I have seen many threads for many phones on many forums. Most do not ever get a desired fix, and many end in dire consequences.

Put a screen protector on it and it may hide the scratch.

Should have stepped on it two weeks ago then took it in to be fixed. U would have had a brand new lcd/digitizer. They stopped doing it now. I would just leave it. U can try some polishing compound but it might make it worse

Re: anyone have a tip to remove a slight scratch on my evo screen

two things i would suggest, one is to go to a camera shop and see if they have something that might be able to buff out the scratch, if that's a no go my next suggestion would be a good quality screen protector, personally i use ghost armor full body protection.

As long as it's not currently affecting functionality, leave it and add a screen protector as others have mentioned.
