You scratched the screen? or the screen protector?

The screen protector that has the HTC/Sprint Logo in it.

How bad is the scratch?

I saw something called Displex (I think that's the name) and it's supposed to be some sort of very light polish that helps remove light scratches from the screen. I haven't used it so I can't say if it works or not.

Try searching the store here to see if it's available.

Ok, just get a replacement screen protector from a 3rd party....

I thought you were talking about the actual screen itself.

he says it has the sprint logo on it.... so it's not the actual screen protector, just a miscommunication... i do think he's talking about the actual screen that got scratched

Know any places with the parts and maybe a tutorial on how to remove it cover?

Ahhhmmm... That sounds like you scratched the screen itself... Just not where the display is.
The whole fron of the phone is one piece which extends from the earpiece down to the buttons. I scratched the heck out of mine too. I figured I'd just wait and rough it up. Eventually I will pay the 100 bucks to get a replacement and keep this one as a second battery charger. I figured... screen protector, battery, and charger is worth 100 bucks.

I guess that was just commentary.
I would try one of the cleaner/scratch removers and a screen protector some protectors have been known to cover up some scratches.

these screens are very sensitive, i would not recommend using anything on it... if you do be very gentle!!!

you can try to get the screen replaced at the store ( i have with my touch pro) but i dont think they will have the part yet.. .they replace the whole top part of the phone screen included.

how bad is the scratch? can you post a pic of it?
