You don't have to buy it at all. But if your willing to dance with the devil and intentionally place your phone glass in harms way don't say you weren't warned.
I'll even do you one better. I visited my local VZW store and checked out their S3 demo models (they have several). OMG talk about scratch haven on the glass! Wow isn't even the word. To be fair, I looked at various other devices and to my amazement not even a hint of a scratch on them. A couple did but the S3's seemed contminaited with all the surface scratches.
I love my S3 and you do not have to buy anything me or anyone else says about the device. Because you may not have experienced the issue, yet, doesnt mean those who have are dreaming it up. Take a trip to your VZ store and look at a demo model. You just might amaze yourself.
