I use a screen protector, gorilla glass prevents cracks and breaking of the screen. While it does protect scratches in most cases, it fails against a grain of sand
There's a small scratch on my screen. Also, now that i have a screen protector, i don't have to worry about screwing the screen up, something one of my friends learned the hard way
I do think that the touch experience is better without a protector, but the difference is not too much. You can only feel it when playing games like fruit ninja that require excessive swiping. Also, phone sometimes feels weird directly after I pull it out of the pocket.
My question is - does anyone use a cover/bumper? Also, what is the condition of your Desire S?
PS - Just realized, today is the day when I bought my Desire S last year
I'm surprised that it's in such good condition, the body has no issues whatsoever, aside from a small white dot on the chin. That also means my warranty's gone
