Hi, I been using screen protectors for my x8. However in gsmarena it says the following about the x8:

Protection: Scratch-resistant glass
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x8-3403.php

So do I really need to keep on using a screen protector? I like it better without a screen protector :)

The xperia active also has the same screen as our xperia x8(I think):
Protection: Scratch-resistant glass

And Now take a look at this video:

What do you guys say now? Do you guys still think we need a screen protector?:D

definitely use a screen protector! the x8 screen is hardly scratch resistent at all. just put it in a bag together with some keys and you will end up ruining your beautiful screen.

Well, everyone knows that puting a phone freely inside a bag plus keys and other stuff is a bad idea. Even if you had a screen protector, you probably had to end up buying another because they can also get scratches

Actually an operator in my country gave away in the past some protectors that looked just like condoms but with no lub. It was mainly to take the phone to the beach (with a knot on the condom).
It was pretty hilarious xD

:D
I think it's some type of mistake on Gsmarena site about x8's scratch resistant display. Because some people claimed, that when they removed the screen protector because of this arcticle , they experienced scratches later anyway.

I have used x8 before recently changed to xperia active.i myself haven't test something like that video.
On the specification says :
Scratch resistant
Yes it's scratch resistant
But it's not scratch proof right

Xperia active screen is using ashahi's dragontrail mineral glass
It's almost the same technology that corning gorilla glass using

Take a look at the end of the video, Xperia active screen got scratch by the wrench

Is capacitive touch works well with screen protectors? as to my knowledge it is not.
I use a leather case for my X8 which i got from ebay for $2.5 or so.

    I would definitely recommend one. I haven't used a screen protector, got a big scratch and really regret not having used one.

    Buy one in the beginning and save being furious after the first big scratch ;)

    Our phone has Scratch-resist surface, but not a scratch-resist screen.
