Do I need a screen protector

I was just reading somewhere that the Tabs have Gorilla Glass. I purchased a Zagg full body skin, but recently purchased the T-Mo leather case for it. I did not do a good job on the Zagg installation, so I was wondering if with the leather case should the glass be ok without a protector?

I guess that depends on your usage of your tab. I was carrying mine in a messenger bag with other loose things inside and my unit still looks brand new. I hate the feel of screen protectors on any device i've tried, i much prefer the naked glass.

That said, i now have my tab in an orange and black Zenus folio case that i got for xmas. This thing is sweet and even though i didnt really worry about it before, i know it'll be fine in my bag.

TL;DR you'll be fine.

Unfortunaty my tab flew off the window mount and landed glass first into the shifter, to my surprise not a mark on it, but i think its better to be safe than sorry, I'm gonna pick up a sagging next week, was it hard to put on?

The gorillaa glass is supposed to protect it against scratches. I have a screen protector hoping it would also prvent the glass form breaking if ever it falls (read a few posts about people to whom it happened) but as far as scratches are concerned I wouldn't be too worried if I were you

the zagg screen protector was thick, and not to difficult to put on but it didn't feel right. i had also purchased a package from amazon with a rubber case and a stylus that included a screen protector and i put that one on instead. it is more of a harder plastic that was much easier and cleaner to put on.

6 weeks of pretty heavy use and nothing close to a scratch. My Droid 1 spent months without a protector before I got a Zagg for the feel and easier wiping / less finger streaks, and despite going into pockets with keys and change and being used all the time, nothing resembling a scratch on the glass. YMMV, but I've never known anyone personally that managed to scratch the GG screen on the Droid.

I just purchased a realook from amazon $16 with shipping I went with it because its the same sp I use on my vibrant its as close as naked glass as you can get with out risking your screen.
