Default [Q] Another screen protector question

So I got me 2 units of SGS2 this week, gonna surprise the hell of my dad

However, I'm too worried about its screen. I've read the post, it goes about 75% AGAINST (or just dont feel like using) screen protectors and 25% FOR screen protectors...

Now heres the thing. I got some chinese brand (like them all) protector, similiar to MUVIT (at belcompany). I also ordered from ebay a different brand (claimed to be as smooth as the screen itself).

I have only installed the first I got from belcompany (not invisibleshield, but shield"something"). It definitely reduces screen smoothes. Dry finger cant slide properly on the screen (dry - as in, washed with soup and completed dried by towel).

next week I'll recieve the ebay ones I've bought - but I'd ask this anyways ... What do we do about it? Should I apply the protector and reduce the screen feel or apply it?

Can we definitely say that the protectors help us overcome scratches, or can we trust Gorilla glass to do its job?

Thanks

DONATE TO ME
After watching a few youtube videos (guy puts his keys and coins in a bag with
The phone and shakes the hell out of it) I feel safe to have the phone without a
Screen protector. Just the plastic on the back to worry about imo.
I've had lots of screen protectors for other phones, some don't show any
Scratches and some look like stained glass after one day. I can't be bothered to
Be changing it every week. I did cut out a little square from an old one to cover the
Camera lense tho, theres no way to know if thats gorilla glass.

Wow ... I loved your answer

so I guess I'll stick with the current cover until ebay shows up, and then see if its any good (and how much it reduces the orginial screen smoothness). If I dont like it, I'll just go commando.

Should find some for the camera lens, I agree.

Thank you for your answer.
