Default Gorrilla Glass, do I still need a Screen-Sheild?

I don't use one on my atrix (same glass) and after only a few days I see tons of micro scratches. Many say that you don't need one with gorilla glass, but I hate not having one because of scratches, but when I do the screen is so less vivid. I am getting a TF in the next few days, do those Skinomi screen protectors muttle the screen? I plan to have it in a neoprene sleeve.

why not?
you put $400 down and invest in a tablet.

It shouldn't hurt to put another $10-$20 to insure your product safety from future usages.

Well obviously, I am just worrying about muttling the screen color.

i had a skinomi on my g-tab, and it wasn't too bad. I actually liked how it cut down on the glare. I bought one for the TF, but haven't put it on yet... I guess I better get on that.

What screen protector did you try previously that muddled colors? I've used clairvue, martin fields, seidio and sgp and they were all totally clear. For the 10 minutes i used the skinomi,that was also clear.

I have had mine for about a month now with very regular use, and I have no micro-scratches.... I don't know what one would be doing to a tablet to cause it to scratch. Do you have sandpaper on your fingers? Are you leaving it face down on the table???

I bought a $10 neoprene netbook sleeve for a case and that is all I plan on doing.

Well, better to be safe than sorry.

Like the last poster I would think these are less likely candidates for scratches. I'm going without.

I think screen protectors are seriously ugly. Unless you are not using a sleeve when carrying it in a bag with other items, i would not get one. It isnt like you are carrying it in your pocket with keys.
