Screen Protecter or No Screen Protecter

**superbleester** · 06-15-2011, 06:29 PM

Do you use a screen protecter, and why?
Why dont you use one?

**vanster** · 06-15-2011, 06:35 PM

Invisishield. I always have my phone in my pocket and I don't have to worry about the screen getting scratched when I put my keys in also.

Cool. I have a Skinomi Tech Skin and im debating wether or not to take it off! SUCH A HARD DECCISION!!!!!!!!!

Screen protector. Phone goes in my pocket or gets tossed in a bag.

**bkorver** · 06-15-2011, 07:09 PM

Naked. The main interface for a touch screen phone is in fact the screen. Nothing feels better under my thumb than a naked HTC screen. My TBolt gets it's own pocket, so between that and the fact gorrila glass is really hard to scratch...

Screen protector. I would rather not use it, but like NotJustAPhone, I keep it in my pocket while I work. I would ruin the screen if I didn't protect it.

I guess I am one of 'those' people. If the screen had even the smallest scratch, it would bug me every time I looked at the screen. Even if I had to spend a couple of minutes looking for the scratch, it would annoy me,
Better for me to spend money on a throw away protector.

Definite screen protector. My girlfriend and I both have tbolts and she dropped hers without a screen protector on it and the screen shattered. We both had protectors put on the day we got them but hers started to peel and she took it off. Just happened to be that she dropped it the next day flat on the screen before she got a new protector. My friend also has a tbolt and he dropped his flat on the screen with a screen protector and his was fine.

Yes.

To protect the screen.

**hannsoft** · 06-15-2011, 08:41 PM

I don't use one. Like bkdorver, I'd rather feel the real screen under my thumbs. I keep it in a leather pouch case when not in use.

yes just to be on the safe side

**Unobtanium** · 06-15-2011, 08:46 PM

Yes. Brand new device - want to keep it that way. Quickly went from whatever matte/hazy protector VZW sold me to the Zagg. I am disturbed that the Best Buy retail version of the Seidio Rugged case ("Platinum") came w/o screen protection.
The Zagg seems to have some drag, but is crystal clear.

**fitsbain** · 06-15-2011, 08:49 PM

Had a zag on my omnia and now the bolt. Has drag at first but after some use it smooths out and you don't know it is there.

It's not gorilla glass.

**marcsledjeski** · 06-15-2011, 09:02 PM

It is gorilla glass according to Corning:

**paintdrinkingpete** · 06-15-2011, 09:25 PM

Don't use one...I've owned touchscreen phones for over 3+ years now, and never had a scratch yet.

It may be a risk, but I prefer not to use one.

**willymakit** · 06-15-2011, 09:26 PM

Yes, it seems to have less fingerprints then without one.

According to the Gorilla Glass website...it is.

Don't even like screen protectors, but I tried the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal. Love it! Can't even tell is there.

I keep mine in a holster/case combo when carrying it around, and am a software dev, so at a desk most of the day... I feel no need to get one, can't put them on properly, and know that the bubbles would bug me more than a few minor scratches. Besides, I had one on my OG Droid (a verizon rep put it on for me so no bubbles) and it lost responsiveness to touch. Ended up taking it off.

**DolphinDroid** · 06-15-2011, 10:40 PM

I hate screen protectors and have never used them for any of my Palms or idevices or even my Droid, but I gave in with the Thunderbolt. So far it is OK but am not completely satisfied.

I had I zagg, cuz I was in best buy and figured why not sense I was there and didn't have to wait for one online. My brand of choice is bodyguardz tho when I use one because out of all I've used they were the smoothest with less orange peel feeling. My zagg peeled off so now I've decided the feel of the screen is way nicer, especially when using swype. My phone gets it's on pocket as well and am the utmost carefull with it.

**dannychaos** · 06-16-2011, 12:43 AM

I'm not using a screen protector right now but I do prefer one. The only reason I don't have one on my screen is because I got lint on them. Sucks.

**tcr04** · 06-16-2011, 01:33 AM

nothing and i've actually dropped my phone 2 days into owning it. I dropped it at Target and every part of the phone (battery, cover, phone) went every which way, it didn't have a single scratch, ding, nothing. As in, nothing at all. It still looks as new as when I got it. No screen protector or phone case
