Yes, if you ever plan to re-sale down the road, it will help on pricing. Plus, if you do get scratches, at least its on the screen protector.

Yes, especially considering how many layers are all glued together. Don't want to replace all that, all at once

better be safe than sorry. also, if you're planning to resell the phone to get better value in the future, it's better to have screen protector.

1. Yes, you need the screen protector. I learned it the hard way: Desire with scratched screen.
2. Yes, this is my first super expensive phone ever. Never went above €400 before...but this...I know €600...just could not resist

No, didn't for the s2 and no problems. Any scratches should be tiny, and invisible when you're using the thing.
