Do u use a screen protector?

[avatar test]

I have heard a few people say that it is not needed because the screen is glass & they r not likely to scuff it.

Does anyone have a scuffed screen? Anyone have a year old unprotected iphone with no scuffs?

although I did manage to scratch my original iphone screen, i dont use one.

No - but I probably baby my devices way more than the average person.

I have one on there...and only because when I bought the phone the AT&T person said they would do it. I can never get them totally flat. If she didn't offer to do it for me, there's no way I would have one on.

 

[lgreenberg]

I do.

I'm very careful/anal about putting it on and I only use the best ones.

Therefore once I've got one installed you can hardly tell it's even there.

Were split about 50/50 so far. I have seen a few similar polls on Treo|Central and they also come up 1:1

Similar polls that I have seen on BB forums show two-thirds in favor of screen protectors. I think BBs have cheap screens. My used curve was scuffed a bit on the screen.

Yeah, I think the iPhone is one of the rare phones that has the glass, scratch proof (supposedly) screens. Most other devices, Blackberry included, have plastic which seems to scratch much easier.

I really am not too worried about getting a scratch but I keep a screen protector on anyway. Mostly for resale purposes. I can get more money for my device on Ebay, or wherever, if it's scratch free, when it's time to upgrade.

How much does a used 3G usually go for on Ebay?

I looked briefly and see them going between $350 - $500.

I don't use screen protector. I like only leather cases.

The glass is pretty tough... Maybe not against diamond rings or whatever, but like I have that kind of bling... LOL

I just removed mine. So far I like it better without the protector.

When you first use a protector you think ok, this is not bad... but then after you spend time and take it off it's like it's brand new shiny toy. So much better without one.

Oooh....I'm too chicken ta do dat! Maybe just before I buy the next generation Iphone.

yeah. I've done this with my old phones. Just so I don't lose the value and I can resell it in a much higher price. Most of the time, this is what buyers look at - the screen.

I put mine on the day I got it. It came with my incipio skin. I don't see myself ever not having a screen protector on :| not worth it

I don't see why one would use a screen protector for the 3GS, now that they added that oleophobic coating... I would think a screen protector would make it redundant, no?
