If you're worried about it, drop the $5 on a screen protector. Couldn't hurt...
For the time i spent without a screen protector on mine i did not scratch at all. I'd stick it in my jeans with other stuff, and not a scratch. BUT, some how for some reason my brother in law ALWAYS finds a way to scratch his screen, in the first couple of days he had his thunderbolt he got a long 3 1/2" scratch on it. Same thing happend on his rezound, and when he returned the rezound and got a razr he also managed to scratch it within the first week.
If you take care of your devices you should have not problem, I dont think he takes care of his very well because he always seems to scratch his phone, its insane, my 4 year old vouge is still flawless.

Never used a screen protector on mine and dont have any scratches. In and out of jean pocket all the time. Sometimes, by accident, find a pair of plyers in the same pocket. Dropped it many times, with tpu case and still no scratches. Who needs them!
Coming from a Bionic, with the Gorilla Glass screen, I would say it scratches relatively easily. I have a couple little nicks on my screen, just recently picked up a Halo protector and I'm pretty happy with it. YMMV.
oddly, i've "accidentally" dropped this phone at least a dozen times now(luckily with a case on) and don't have any scratches on the screen(no screen protector on it either).
i personally hate screen protectors. i don't care if they're cheapie ones or fancy invisible shields/ghost armors. i've tried them all before and don't like the look/feel of any of them.
Strange, I can't stand the phone without a screen protector. Too many fingerprints for me.... Also, the Verizon rep who I talked to when I went to get buy my phone had a rezound horribly covered in scratches. (to be fair, I saw her toss the phone into her purse so I'm sure a more careful user won't have quite as severe scratches.)

I would agree that coming from a Bionic, it "scratches" easily. But the scratches are only noticeable when held at certain angles in direct sunlight... In direct sunlight the damn thing isnt usable in direct sunlight anyway so not a big deal.
Got mine replaced after 3 weeks because of a small "pit" in the middle of the screen and a small scratch on the left side of the screen. Never had a screen protector on my Dinc and only got one scratch after a year and a half (sand at the beach).
Since the Rezound doesn't have Gorilla (it's only fault in my book) I use a screen protector and change it out every few months.
No scratches and mines naked I feel it scratches less than the dinc... My dinc had scratches

This is one thing I really had to give the bionic, that screen is truly resilient. I beat the piss out of that phone it the glass held up fine. The Tbolt on the other hand, not so much. I accidentally threw my keys in my pocket with my phone one day and it scratched the crap out of it.
I know it nothing scientific, but I do believe the bionic screen is tougher.
i never used screen protectors on my incredible, and that screen NEVER scratched.
i didn't use protector on my rezound for 2 months, and i got tiny hairline scratches everywhere, JUST from being in my pocket.
so yeah, the quality of this glass isn't as good as the inc
The Rezound is by far the easiest scratching phone I've owned. I came from previous phones with Gorilla Glass and never got one scratch on them. I always put my phone in a pocket by itself without coins/keys/etc. I lay it screen up on tables so that there is no risk of laying it on a pebble or something. I have a few pretty big scratches on the Rezound when I've owned other phones longer without the slightest mark.
The Rezound screen is VERY VERY easy to scratch. Its also easy to chip. My first one was dropped directly on its face from a short distance (like 6"!!!) onto the pavement, and there must have been a tiny little rock because it put a small little pit and some deep scratches into the glass.
I do not like screen protectors either, but I also want my phone to look new in a year. So I will deal with a screen protector on my new Rezound, cause as annoying as they are, its much nicer than looking at scrapes and scratches. Especially with such a nice screen behind it.
Agree. Keys scratch the Rezound screen pretty easily.
LOL, I just ordered my screen protectors today. I've gone over a week without any problems. As soon as I ordered, I now have two small scratches.
Yep, got mine two days after release and before I could get the invisible shield ordered and put on I had a couple little scratches on it. I'm super anal about my phone too. Never ran a protector on the Incredible, but the Rezound DEFINITELY has to have one.

Well, scratch resistant, anyway.
Point is, it's definitely not plastic, like some people are choosing to believe.
Just did the test myself. Here's the video.

No problem. I got tired of all the bullcrap flying around about it being 'hybrid plastic' or just plastic, so I decided to settle the score.
Though sadly I did drop it the other day and it nicked a metal part of my car on the long, long fall... and there's a itty bitty little nick in the screen now. I don't even notice it most of the time, and I sure as heck can't feel it, though. It's about half the size of a grain of a sand and about is deep. I can only see it in direct sunlight, thankfully. XD
I believe the proper name for this kind of screens is "scratch-resistant", not "proof". Nexus One has a similar screen, but it does get scratches eventually w/o a screen protector.
The Eris isn't really scratch resistant, or scratch proof..
I have plenty of scratches on my screen.. albeit a little hard to notice..but they're there.

I think it's scratch resistant when coins nor keys can scratch it, and a ton of pressure is needed for glass to scratch it.
I think ANY glass screen is scratch resistant. Especially coming from a plastic screen.
Dude, you are nuts! I'm glad you did it though. I have never liked screen protectors, but was always worried about scratches. By the way, you should put some kind of warning before the video plays, "not suitable for people with weak stomachs" or something like that.
That was a little nerve racking but thank you...
I wasn't very convinced with the youtube post, so i brought it upon myself to try it on a floor model at a bby. Not a scratch! (or cut)

A copycat AND a non-believer? IT'S THE STAKE FOR YOU!
I keep my eris in my toolbelt all day. It has about 7 scratches in it. got it the day it came out. definitely not scratch proof. absolutely scratch resistant. not to mention the screen protectors i got initially were useless. I could not seperate the protector from its backing and ended up bending every one I had.
I have that same case. I've have my Eris since day one. I have No scratches whatsoever. I've dropped my phone a few times, and carry it around in my pocket. Definitely a great phone.
I like how reading this thread there are adds for screen protectors at the top
Anyway, it's good to know that a knife and keys won't scratch the screen, now I won't worry as much about dumb stuff scuffing/scratching it up.
After watching the video I thought I would take off all the protective stuff I had on my Eris. Two days later I had it in my front shirt pocket with a pen and it turns out that the metal clip on the pen put a little scratch on the screen. You can only see it if the screen is off and you look at it at the right angle but whenever my fingernail hits it, I get angry with myself for taking the screen protector off.
i never had a screen protector on my phone, but i bought mine from a guy on craigslist who sent his old eris in for a "new" refurbished one before selling it. and the sucker looked brand new. i run with my phone in my pocket and it fell out one day on an asphalt track at the park. put a tiny ~2mm scratch on it and a little dot from sliding/skidding about 3 feet face down... not to shabby... i barely notice it...
I have a similar case and drop my phone a lot.... no issues. Had a screen protector on my origional Eris, but after having to relplace the phone, I never put a screen protector back on. Good to see its not so easy to scratch it.

I think I should change the thread around. If your X10 has absolute no screen protector on (meaning that you removed the stock one), do you have any scratches on your phone?
The reason is theres all these scratch tests on youtube which proves glass screens to be pretty scratch resistive.

So according to these tests, I don't see how I would scratch my screen other than dropping it. But if I really dropped it, I doubt a screen protector would do any good.
I took mine off a month ago and simply never got around to replacing it, not even a mark on it since, I prefer it off.
My experience with silicon covers and others is that they end up damaging the more than they protect it, dust gets caught under them and acts like sandpaper.
I am a bit of a phone junkie who rarely keeps a phone for more than a year,

Using a plastic film over the glass panel is like putting a hideous gown on a Ferrari. I used my Galaxy S without any protection for a month, and it was fine. Just don't let harsh objects or sand rub agqinst the screen.

I had a silicon body protector and a cheap screen protector on my X10, then I finally bought an InvisibleShield (full body) and love it.
In my case though, the silicon protector I had was constantly pressing the camera button, which would disable my face buttons, making me think my phone was suffering a bunch of random glitches. Put up with that for a couple of weeks before I discovered others online having the same issue due to their own covers.
I work outdoors and tend to be pretty hard on my phones, so I don't think I'd ever be brave enough to let my X10 run around "nude".
Hands down hell yes!! I take very good care with all my phones and I think screen protectors are a must especially for smartphones. I don't think I can stand having my phone scratched even just a tiny bit lol. I'm not a big fan of cases though cuz...I think people should just avoid dropping them in the first place, but there's always a worse comes to worse scenario huh? anyway, I was playing with my friends iPhone today and it had an anti-glare matte screen protector that is absolutely amazing. It has a nice texture to it too that makes your swiping and scrolling a more... pleasurable experience. I believe there's one for the X10 as well, I'm gonna go check that out =)
I too, use double protectors. And, the lint free fiber cloth to clean the screen. I am a clean freak, per say.
Its a must for me, sometimes I forget and put it in the same pocket with my keys, just imagine the scratches out could get.

If they used a hard glass you should only get hairline scratches at worst, which for some is ok to live with. Though you will definitely still get scratches on it, unless they used sapphire crystal like on expensive watches which is practically only scratchable by diamond
Well, I took off the pre-applied protector (not the obvious one showing you how to unlock your phone) about 3months ago and I haven't had any problems with scratches. I even proved a point to my brother by trying to scratch the screen with a coin. Still no scratches. Obviously, if you manage to damage your screen with a coin, it is not my fault!
Don't go without a screen protector. My screen is mashed now.
I'm just saying...

i guess the protectors will help with the finger print magnet issue?
I accidently removed the pre-installed screen protector after trying to add another cheap screen protector over the top. but sharpishly replaced it the following day with a Martin fields screen protector best £10 i spent and actually feels nicer than the screen itself to scroll with and leaves less marks. i couldn't go without one risking scratching the screen. thats some expensive kit to just scratch and ruin.
what do guys do when you buy something like a car? Do you all have plastic on your new couch, do you put screen protectors on your watches etc,etc
My bold and dream are nude and have no serious scratches?
It is only a 65000 color so i guess the more screen shields the less chance you will notice all that cr*ppy banding.
I straps pillow on my car. It wasnt long that i remove it cos ppl tells me its seven years old.

I have removed the preinstalled screen protector and a have a couple very small hairline scratches from random pocket contact(possibly keys). The X10 screen is by no means scratch proof or very resistant however i noticed a great improvement in the touch sensitivaty without the screen protector.
Trying to decide if I should take my Realook off. Great protection but damn this thing get's so greasy. Really tired of constantly having to clean it.
In 5 months of owning this phone I've never dropped it even once. I also never put anything into my "phone pocket". I'm careful enough, but I don't want to get any mysterious fine scratches. Anyway, anyone rocking their phone without a SP? Any scratches at all?

I had one but I took it off immediately because the dude in the T-Mobile store had something get under it while he was puting it on, and you can only assume how annoying that is to look at.
But I really should be using one.
Bieng able to put the phone almost anywhere without worrying about scratching the screen is... just too nice, IMO.
I've had my Vibrant since the week before the official release. Never had a screen protector, though I carry the phone around in a belt pouch and not in my pockets. Phone and screen is still scratch free...YMMV

I kept the stock protection and just snipped the tab off the top. Then put on a casemate case. Seems to be the perfect combo for me.
You realize that now you are going to drop your phone.. sorry but its like a motorcycle. Its not if you wreck, but when and how bad will it be.
I've dropped my vibrant more than once and my son thinks this phone can bounce. They are solid enough to take a pretty decent level of abuse.

Never a protector from day one (release day). I keep it in my pocket but use the old G1 pouch. But also dropped it in my car between the seat, in the sofa at the house etc and no scratches at all. The rear cover has quite a bit of hair line scratches but the glass is clear.

Had the phone since launch and had a screen protector for about a month. Took it off and haven't had a screen scratch yet. Stays in my pocket typically by itself but the requisite drops behind couch, between car seat, etc have happened. The gorilla glass does an awesome job of keeping it from scratching due to normal wear and tear.
It does have gorilla glass right? Remember reading that somewhere...
Regardless, naked Vibe here, no scratches.
5 months now no screen protector. It has one very tiny (very very shallow) scratch near the bottom, from when I left my keys and the phone in the same pocket all day.
Screen protectors are nice, but I am extremely impressed as to how the display has held up so far. I'd say you dont need the protector, but keep keys or any sharp objects out of the same pocket as your phone.
Hadn't used a screen protector on mine since July with 0 scratches. Got out of the taxi a week ago and didn't realize my phone was on my lap. Phone flew screen down first into the street. Crack across the bottom and scratches at the top Placed my order for a realook screen protector the next day. Bad luck on my part, but it breaks my heart to see that crack so I'm not taking another chance.
Had the tmobile 2pack screen protector, but it made my screen look all glittery. Figured I got this phone for the awesome screen so I just go without one now. No scratches, and looks awesome still since July.
Had a Vibrant since day one. Been careful, but never had a screen protector and it looks perfect. I have had a few minor drops, and carry in pocket, with occasional company though I try my best to keep keys and coins away. Thought about it for awhile and then decided I had gone this long I would be fine... (now I jinxed myself with this post I am sure)
Thanks for the responses.
For the most part extremely positive results. Might very well give it a shot. I already have a T-mobile case on there which helps a bit so think I'll take my chances.
No screen protector since day one. Had two drops onto solid concrete from about five six feet only the chrome scratched. One day took a cat nap and didn't realize my phone fell to the floor when I got out of bed I stepped on it. Now I got a crack down the middle of the screen. Its just the glass though so I don't mind it much.

I had one from T-Mobile for a while and hated it. I finally decided that Gorilla Glass is hardcore and removed the screen protector. It's been fine with just a gel case. No scratches or dings. I'm also really careful with it though too.
Have had a screen protector and a case for a month. Not taking any chances, I know its gorilla glass, but I can be King Kong with my gadgets. I had an iPhone 2G that survived 3 years without any protection, but it was not a pretty sight.
No screen protection for me. I had a case but took that off. I did drop it once screen down into some dirt and have an annoying tiny chip on the screen but im dealing. And I bought a replacement battery cover that's rubberized and now I feel comfortable with no screen protection.

Been running protector free since launch and I have a very small scratch towards the bottom from my tungsten ring. I' be done multiple lap flies and nothing yet but I'm starting to think it might be a good idea. At least get a gel case or something!

I tried the Reallook after all the rave reviews, and I admit it was nice at first.... but over time the appearance/finger prints/feel were just SO lacking copared to the feel/look of the gorilla glass.
I was a huge anti-SP person and am still that way even after my testing one out.
I bought a zaag screen cover and it has some ripples in it. I'm taking it back since BB put it on. My ? Is should I just return it and not get a screen protector or is it better to get one? The reason I'm wondering if it takes away the pretty screen. I'm sorry if this is a dumb ?
If it's like the Evo 4G screen, I wouldn't worry about a screen protector. I've had my Evo 4G since launch day, it's been dropped, drowned, and flung about my car in a rollover accident, and there's one tiny scratch near the top earpiece (not really even the screen) and another tiny, almost-invisible scratch on the screen. Evo glass is tough Some people have worse experiences with the glass than I have, but I'll take an 8 out of 10 screen after a year rather than murkying up that beautiful screen with a protector.
Get a cheap hard plastic screen protector. Can barely see it and work fine. Just learn to take the time and put it on correctly.
I went ahead and thanked both of you. Thank you for the quick responses
I always use screen protectors....but not the Zagg brand. You need the hard plastic kind like Clarvue (sp?). No adhesive or water to install. If applied correctly, you can't tell it is on. No orange peel look. No "sticky" feeling when touching the screen.
I don't like the Invisible shields, too sticky. But I always put on one of the clear ones. You can't tell it's on there, it doesn't smudge quite as much as the glass, and then I never worry about getting those micro scratches on it.
I got these off of Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054ENAYU
$5 for 3. The shipping is $1 - I ordered on Friday and they showed up in my mailbox (as a first class letter) on Monday. Popped it on, no bubbles, easy peasy. And now I have that peace of mind that a piece of sand isn't going to get trapped next to my screen and start scratching it up.
I just use the WriteRight Universal Screen Protectors. Comes with a pack of 5 that I've now used for several devices without exhausting the pack.
Even with a lot of care, there will be a bubble or two. But once the backlight is on, any such flaws are INVISIBLE to me so who cares?
The Panamaniac
I had an Invisible Shield for about 3 days on my Evo... it peeled off, and I got a free replacement. That peeled off too. I stuck it to my desk at work and stopped messing with it. Not a single scratch on my OG Evo, but I am also one careful mfer... I dropped it maybe 3 times in the entire year I owned it. Once on the pavement and it got a slight abbrasion on one of the plastic corners of the device.
I had an InvisibleShield on m OG EVO and I ended up peeling it off. It made the screen too rubbery and really took away the feel of the touchscreen. I've never scratched my screen on my EVO or my new EVO 3D.
Def buy a screen protector. I didn't have one on my evo 4g and never had a problem and I got the evo 3d and it scratched so easily within the first two hours of owning it. Now because of the 3d screen i see a rainbow effect where the two scratches are. Be safe and get a screen protector. Hope this helps any
I'd definitely use one, just not a zagg. When I bought my otterbox for my Evo4g, it came with a screen protector and I loved it.
Zagg, and the rest that go on with solution suck balls. Feels like someone jizzed all on your screen. Ones like l c clarvue are the best. Also you can take them off, clean and reuse.

havent had any trouble with the cheap ebay ones for both the OG evo and the 3d
I've never used a screen protector in my life, and I've never had scratches per say, just several complete shatterings which wouldn't have been stopped by a screen protector. I work outdoors most of the time, in "dangerous" conditions for a touchscreen and at the most it might get a little dirty and just needs to be wiped off. Until I manage to scratch one somehow, I'll never use one - then again I ALWAYS have it holstered if it isn't in use.
I have an anti-glare screen protector...dulls the screen a bit indoors (not enough to bother me) but I can also see the screen well in direct light.
Don't know what brand it is. When I got my 3D from BB they had some with these preinstalled and I took one of those.
While I cant say if its needed or not, I can say that I have always used one on touch screen phones and I have never had a scratched screen...better safe than sorry in my opinion.
I had a zagg shield on my Evo 4G for a while, but the damn thing would start to peel slightly around the edges from putting the phone in my pocket often. I ended up taking it off and used it without a protector. Having never used a phone without a protector I fell in love with the glass feel and have not used a screen protector since. I have insurance with BB and sprint so if I scratch or crack it, I'll just take it in for repair/replacement. Have not scratched the 4G since removing it.

I recommend a screen protector based on the fact that almost nothing can scratch the glass, unless you really get some serious damage to it or some sand gets in your pocket. Honestly, I'm worried about the sand I suggest getting a cheap one or a cheap pack of 3 off of amazon. And don't do Zagg, I've heard so many complaints about it being "sticky". Good luck!
~ Jake
i used the one that came with the otterbox commuter....cant even tell its on there.
I got the anti glare/grease one from BB. It doesn't have the rubbery feel to it like the standard zagg ones. Costs a little more but it doesn't effect the view. Also like not having to wipe my phone after using it to talk on. Also had BB put it on. I had done one before and didn't get it on there correctly. I have no peeling. For every story you hear about how indestructible the glass is there is another story about how easily it was cracked/scratched.

I personally don't like Zagg. The feel of it just doesn't do it for me. I'm very fond of Sprint's screen protectors, exp the Anti-Glare. However I really want to see what the phone is like naked. I used screen protectors on my old EVO and finally decided to take it off and never had a scratch.
However, as everyone states, it all depends on how cautious you are about your belongings. I probably dropped the EVO less than 5 times, never had it in a pocket with keys, anything that could potentially scratch it.
i know this phone has gorilla glass 2. But i read a few story of people getting scratches like nothing. Would like to know if anyone here is getting scratches and how
Not me but I use a screen protector. Best $10 I ever spent on my phone! Well any phone for that matter.
Yep I have scratches. Not quite sure how it happened. Thinking it was when I had it in my pocket one day.

I just picked some up from ATT until my Otterbox case comes in. I think it was a "Moshi" or something like that. I got it heavily discounted from the corp store. And to be honest its a pretty nice screen protector so far! Easy to apply and take off to clean.
What about you? I hear good things about SGP. Easy on the wallet and great quality.
I haven't received my gs3 yet but I have had the Droid since the day it came out and I keep it in my pocket with my keys and everything. It has very small scratches but nothing that you can see with the screen on.
I can't imagine the GS3 being any less scratch resistant.
No scratches at all. Always put it in my pocket and no screen protector. Had my SGS2 for 8 months without getting any scratches on the screen without a screen protector.
I got a pretty deep scratch right in the middle of mine... I think from a piece of sand or grit or something. I dropped the phone from like 2 feet, it slid off the couch onto the hardwood floor before I got my case and screen protector I was pretty upset, especially after seeing these videos of people going at it with knives and screwdrivers and whatnot with zero damage. Had my nexus one for like 2.5 years no scratches on the glass...
I keep mine in my pocket all day no scratches yet. Don't like screen protectors they make the screen look crappy

No scratches at all. Always put it in my pocket and no screen protector. Had my SGS2 for 8 months without getting any scratches on the screen without a screen protector.

No scratches here, either. My previous phone was a Moto Photon (first gen Gorilla Glass). No scratches after a year of pocket carry.
I never use cases or screen protectors. I like the naked feel of a phone.
Yah I got a scratch already. My bad. Only notice it when the screen is off. No worries.

I have a couple of little micro scratches that can only be seen if the light hits the screen at the right angle. No big deal at all. I hate screen protectors.
Yup, went in at about 10 am today, finally left around 10:45 with my new phone and it had light small hairline scratches on the side of the phone. I hadn't even touched it other than to login and download a few apps. My hands were clean and I didn't put it in my pocket, as I walked outside I noticed the scratches because of the daylight glaring on it.
I took it back and they exchanged it for me.
I am on the no screen protector and no scratches bandwagon.
Release day gs3.
Also release day gs2 that didn't every have a screen protector and no scratches.
And I do not baby the phone.
I don't baby my phone either but managed to get a scratch on the very first day. All I can remember doing was holding several phones together walking in from my truck and it got a scratch from some sand on the back of one case that was up against the S3 screen. Way too easy if you ask me. I took my original Zagg off of my nexus and put it on the S3. Can't see it now though.

I got it on release day for sprint, about 2 days ago my girlfriend borrowed it quickly to make a call while I had it out playing with it, she handed it back and I saw a smudge. Turned out the smudge was a little cluster of 5 light scratches, tiny though.
Earrings are the devil. It's not even like they were diamonds or anything super expensive, just cheap daily wearers.
I was a little bummed immediately (hid it well though to not make her feel bad, lol) but really they are only noticeable if the screen is off and you're trying to look for them. Now it's officially mine
So yeah, guess I should of thought ahead but being that I don't wear earrings it never even occured to me in the moment. Still not going to grab a screen protector, I'm sure with how I abuse my phone in 8 months or so I'll end up having to get an insurance replacement anyway lol.
Nope, had a screen protector on it since day 1
I dont have any scratches. I kept the in-box screen cover for almost a week until Realook started shipping their dry-type protectors. Now I got them and I can recommend to anyone. No change to screen quality and tocuh feel. Had Realook on my Vibrant for 2 years and served well.
