    It is most likely a crack that looks like a scratch. It is much easier to crack this screen than to scratch it.

    Want to know for sure whether it's a crack or a scratch? Apply very firm pressure directly to the scratch. If it stays the same, it's a scratch. If it grows, it's a crack. This is obviously harmful to your phone but it would settle the discussion.

    There are other things that are harder than glass besides diamond.

    Hardness Substance or Mineral

    1 Talc
    2 Gypsum
    2.5 to 3 pure Gold, Silver
    3 Calcite, Copper penny
    4 Fluorite
    4 to 4.5 Platinum
    4 to 5 Iron
    5 Apatite
    6 Orthoclase
    6 Titanium
    6.5 Iron pyrite
    6 to 7 Glass, Vitreous pure silica
    7 Quartz (Crystallized silica)
    7 to 7.5 Garnet
    7 to 8 Hardened steel
    8 Topaz
    9 Corundum
    10 Diamond
    >10 Aggregated diamond nanorods

    Anything from 7 up can cut glass

    Edit: Also, I got a scratch on my droid. Sister was wearing a diamond earring when I let her use it. Droid up against ear w/ diamond earring = small scratch. I just took it back and got it exchanged for a new one. There are scratch removing liquids, google will probably help you.

    As far as screen protectors go, I'm using one from Best Skins Ever, and I am extremely pleased with it. The application process is very forgiving, took me three tries initially, but I got it just right. I was even able to remove it a week later and reapply.
