I've never used a screen protector. I have a thick-ish case which keeps my screen from cracking if it falls down at odd angles. I've not had a single scratch (partly because I love my gadgets and I take care of them). I have tried putting a screen protector on an old Samsung touch-screen phone, that was a MESS (I guess I wasn't blessed with a handy-man's hands :crying:).

ive always been on fence about using screen protectors. Not that long ago i came home from a trip to the county fair. Got out of my Uncles truck dropped my phone on my stone driveway screen was facing down. Cursed under my breath thought i tottally destroyed it picked it up screen protector was F up took it off not a scratch dent or anything. So to this day i will always use a protector.

For all of those who are confident about the Gorilla Glass, Here is a quick and easy guide to Scratch it :-
  1. Collect some 'Sand' and sprinkle evenly over the screen
  2. Now using either a paper,cloth,ur hand or ur head gently move the sand over the screen
  3. Wolla ! You now have numerous scratches over the screen
  4. You can now Reepent over how a 5$ screen Guard could have easily prevented this.
Enjoy ur scratched "Gorilla Glass" Screen.

I'm a farm equipment mechanic
And I can't say how many time screen protectors have saved my phone.

    A thin piece of plastic (screen protectors) don't prevent the screen from shattering from a fall, just scratches in the screen, which the Gorilla glass does perfectly without distorting the color/hindering the screen sensitivity.

    A case is made to absorb some of the impact force that would normally shatter the screen.

    It would save it from having the chunk missing from the bottom right :rolleyes:

    They are probably effective in certain situations but I took mine off after a few weeks because it makes the screen harder to see. Just my preference.

    Same here. I like my phone without a case and a screen protector. Should probably get a screen protector but I tried a couple and didn't really liked them.
