Default Should I get a screen protector?

I'm a little afraid of my phone getting scratched, but ill only get one If it doesn't affect the functionality. So should I get one?

YES!!! you should definitely get one. Gorilla Glass is VERY durable, but it's not scratch proof.

A lot of people swear by the Steinheil Ultra Clears (i used one of my two so far, just didn't put it on to good)

I'm now using a ZAGG, and I like it just fine... Not sure which I prefer, i know i did like the slick surface on the Steinheil better. The Zagg has an orange peel effect..

It would be good to get one that isn't very flimsy, but not very thick. I also want one that my finger won't get caught on, I always leave huge smudges sometimes on my screen.

Coming from an HTC touch pro 2 to the Mesmerize the gorilla glass is GREAT! I did get a free screen protector with my otterbox so that's what I'm using. I used to have a invisible shield on but I took it off as I didn't care for the texture. I like the smooth screen protector that came with the otterbox.

I stopped using a screen protector because I work in a restaurant, so I always text with semi oily fingers. I find the screen protectors are a ##### to clean! However, the screen cleans very easily with a bit of hand Sanitizer and a soft rag.

I used a Phantom Skinz and it works rather well. It does orange peel a bit, but nothing a quick rub on the shirt doesn't fix.

The screen protectors do their job but make it ugly in my opinion.
