Default [Q] Screen Protector

Since the M2 has Gorilla Glass...is it necessary to have a screen protector on it?

Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936911.
Personally I haven't use protector for M1 and don't use it for M2 as well. Newer had any issue without it.

There isn't a need to apply a screen protector for m2 since it has gorilla glass.

The only instance which i think you would need a screen protector is if you carry your m2 in a pocketful of nails, which isn't probably the brightest idea.

Go ahead and youtube for gorilla glass, there's plenty of video of the gorilla glass being able to take plenty of abuse

theres really no point using a screen protector on gorilla glass screen as many have said. however if u still want too, spend a few dollars getting one that will not affect the sensitivity of the screen

personally speaking, i never had a screen protector on my X1, and that didnt have GG, and it help up very well to my daily abuse for 2 years, hence i didnt bother getting one for my MS2

honestly speaking mate, no scratches at all. the rest of the phone is in pretty bad shape ie chips and dents and cracks but the screen is as good as new


SE Xperia X1 + 8GB SDHC (WWE Energy ROM 29017 Build with Sense 2018)
Motorola Milestone 2 + 8GB SDHC (Stock Android 2.2 ROM)


If i have helped in any way, please hit the thanks button.

I use screen protectors for ALL/ANY phone, "Gorilla Glass" or not, seen as I believe all phone screens can get scratched one way or another. Also, I found dat they never effect the functionality of da phone, and in some cases improve it, for example on da Xperia X10 & original Milestone. Gonna check out "Gorilla Glass" on YouTube anyway doe.

There not a urgent need to use screen protector due to the gorilla glass but does have some advantages:

- fingerprint free screen protector such as those from steinheil reduces the need to keep wiping your phone. I used both the crystal clear and the fingerprint free version, and personally really like the fingerprint free one although it does "blur" the display a little bit but only if I hold the phone right up to my face.

- the gorilla glass could still shatter, depending on the angle of fall. I know someone who had his screen shattered, but still continues to use it cracks and all. and it's still okay because the screen protector kept the screen in shape and protects the sliding fingers from the cracks.

I have an OtterBox screen protector on my device and it works flawlessly. I also have a Skinomi on reserve, so when I need to replace the OtterBox screen protector, I can. But Skinomi is by far the best on the market as of right now.
