naked screen vs protected

[Seauxcrazy]

I swear by the protectors from www.monoprice.com.

That's right, Monoprice, famous for their cheap, high quality cables. Their screen protectors are cheap and durable and work the best of any I have used.

I prefer the matte finish since I use Swype and need my finger to glide over the surface. My finger will drag and skip when Swyping on a regular film.

Interdasting.....

Have any images of your matte protector on the Nexus? I've been looking for a good matte screen.

I've never used a screen protector and have no scratches at all on mine. However, I do have it in a case and carried in a holster (pockets are for lint, change and spare magazines).

My Gnex goes naked due to swyping and "feel" when in use. Ran an invisible shield for over a year on my Captivate, and when it started hanging at the edge, I removed it- planning on buying new film and using the lifetime warranty to have someone else put it on for me again (kiosk at mall). Before that happened, I got to use it naked for a while... not going back unless I come across a reason to change my mind.

Freshly washed hands can't swype on a screen protector properly. I was having to use hand lotion to type effectively, and it was affecting my manliness

Does the outer box defender have a built in screen protector?

Yes; the Defender does, the Commuter does not, although the Commuter comes with a dry applicable screen protector.

The OP used 3 different screen protecors and they sucked. I've used screen protecors and have read a gazillion screen protector threads. All screen protectors are basically cheap plastic (hard or soft) and they all suck. And in every screen protector thread there are always people who say their screen protector is great. Trust me, they all suck to a varying degree compared to the glass screen. Think about it, compare a brand new clean plastic rear window in an automobile convertable to the clean windshield. What would you rather look through? Any questions?

I have never used a screen protector on my G1, Nexus One, and Sensation and never saw a scratch.

A month with this phone and u saw one gouge and two scratches. Now I use invisible shield to prevent any further damage.

The glass on this screen is very soft.

As stated, it does, but I took mine off. Never liked the dulled down look or feel of any screen protector.

Never used a screen protector before. And luckily haven't had any issues either.

I always use a screen protector because of past experiences with scratches on my screen and me hating myself for not using one later. My advise would be to get one as it will save you from the pain of scratching it later.

I use sedio "crystal clear" screen protector which does not distort the screen's quality at all unlike other screen protectors. here's the link seidioonline.com

hope this helps

Thanks for all the feed back. I guess I'll give a screen protector another shot. They just feel very crappy when scrolling. I'm a clumsy one. I'd rather have that than my screen look like hell

As I said before. Try ghost armor. U do not have to worry about any of that with these protectors. If u don't like it. Return it. Their protectors have lifetime warranties.

Think XO Skins are better than Ghost Armor. Ghost Armor has that orange peel effect on their protectors that is quite annoying.

You get the same lifetime warrenty from XO Skins.

Plus those guys at the kiosk jacked up my nexus with their spray. They didn't bother turning off the phone like they should have and messed up my charging contacts. If my phone wasn't through my company, they would have had to pay full price for the damages.

Why I have been converted to otterbox built in screen cover on defender case. No sticky or water needed, I have to admit it took a few days to adjust. I'm really loving it now as it seem stronger than the zagg or similar screen protectors.

I guess I'll do another trial. Xo, ghost, then outer box since I can return them. I'll post my opinions.

I use a Boxwave protector for my screen.
It's as smooth as glass, crystal clear, and doesn't effect the colors or sharpness at all.
It was like $3+shipping on Amazon........well worth it.

I swype and there is no drag at all.
