I really hate to use these things and honestly im really careful when it comes to my phone, I used to have the the epic 4g touch without screen protector since day 1 and all it got was a tiny scratch which I dont even know how it happened.
So what are your opinions regarding this issue, should I just use it without screen protector?

Depends on how mad it will make you if you get a small scratch...
Personally I hate screen protectors, and won't use them. Same for cases. But I also typically only keep phones for 6 months, so not a lot of time to mess them up too badly.
On this phone, though, I did get the s-view flip case. Overpriced, but has a certain cool factor I like.

I never had a screen protector on the E4GT or my GS3, NEVER had a scratch on either of them and I put my phone in my pocket with my keys. Never had a case either and the GS3 never even cracked after 50 drops from my lap. Gorilla glass lives up to its name.

I actually have a Zagg HD shield on mine plus a TPU case. I went without one for a week and the amount of smudges and fingerprints on the screen drove me nuts. I was constantly wiping it on my pants leg or using my eyeglass cloth to clean it. That's when I went to BB and had them install one and I couldn't be happier. It doesn't take away anything from the phone, adds a level of protection( even if minute) and I've literally thrown this thing across the room trying to catch it from falling one time. It fell face down and I was afraid to even look at it in fear that it smashed on my hardwood floor. I turned it over and not a single scratch.
What exactly did you hate about it? Which shield did you have?
I use the Zagg HD shield as well and I love it. It cleans off easily and lets the screen shine through just fine.

^^ Same. Had an XtremeGuard on it which I ordered for about 79 cents before getting the phone so would have something when I got the device. However, it was way too sticky so ripped it off and doubt will be putting another one on. When I don't even use the phone for a year before upgrading it makes sense for me to get the full experience (way the screen is supposed to feel). However, if I wanted to spend the money would probably make an exception for one of the glass protectors.
In conclusion I would say it depends on the environment you are in, whether using a case and which type, how well you take care of things, if anyone else uses the device, and how long you are going to have it for.

I am currently using the Neo Hybrid case with the Spigen glass.t slim screen protector.
After having the case and screen protector on for over a month I love the case but could do without the glass.t
If it wasn't so expensive I would prob take it off.
My case and glass.t came with a free Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector which I put on my wife's S4 and I actually like it better than the glass.t
Honestly with the S4 having Gorilla Glass 3 I'm not sure how much of a necessity the screen protector is but if you're like me and you don't wanna risk a scratch I would prob go for the Spigen Ultra Crystal if I could do it over.
2OG Epics, Epic4GT and now the S4, never had a screen protector, never had any scratches.
I've become very protective with my phone investments. I have yet to drop my S4 within the month of ownership. Knock on wood... I like originality. I can't stand cases and screen protectors which is why I don't use them and instead grab protection just-in-case. Some cases are more prone to actually damage your device. I say that from experience. Had 8 EVO 3D's of which 2 were dropped with cases and shattered my screen. The rest were just refurbished defects but that's another story. =P I say no to any extras unless you feel the need for a case and/or any other method of protection. Maybe start a new trend and use a non-lubricated condom. Could work. Hahaha.

The Zaggs, and Ghost armors are ok for a few months, and then they start getting their own scratches and distortions... The protectors, ironically, scratch easier than the gorilla glass does. They do, however, give you a little extra shatter protection. I gave up on invisishield and decided to just be careful. I like it better without the shield. I DO use a cover though. It gives you an added lip around the screen to prevent ground contact on the screen.

I hate screen protectors. I haven't used one since I got Galaxy S OG (epic). It had gorilla glass and it never ever scratched. Got an S2, same thing. I have no reason to think differently on this one either. Besides if by some chance it does, I have BB insurance and will just get it replaced.
And I really hate cases. One of the major selling points of the phone is the sleek design, why would I ruin that with a case??? dumb. but thats just me
Totally nude here. I never use cases or protectors. The last time I scratched a display, it was a resistive screen. I did scratch my work phone Thunderbolt screen though, but I keep it in my pocket with my keys. lol

What type do people usually use. I normally never use one, but I bought a Zagg for the front. I also have heard of Spigen, but haven't really found a review that pits them against each other.
I tried a SGP Ultra Nano Clear and it was ok, but I like the ZAGG that I've got on my One X (I know...I'm one of the few that like them!) So, I went by Best Buy today and had them install the ZAGG Invisishield HD on my brand spanking new GSIII. Funny story, though...
The guy that was installing it confessed it was only about the 4th or 5th one he'd installed. But he made a good point...if they do it, they've got multiple chances to get it right, whereas if I did it and screwed it up, I'd have to start over (this is the first wet-install screen protector I've used...the one on my One X was on it when I bought it second-hand).
Anyway, he goes through the process and once he gets done, he tells me that through trial and error, they've come to realize that the ones for the GSIII are better if you install them upside-down. His reasoning was that this way, the front-facing camera is covered (whereas it's usually not). Whatever, I thought...he knows what he's doing.
So, I get in the car and about 5 minutes down the road I realize part of it is overlapping the home button (because, obviously, that part is supposed to be AT THE TOP!) So, I head to the other Best Buy in town (because I'm now closer to it) and I show it to them. The guy just sat there and stared in amazement. He said, when did he install it? I said about 30 minutes ago. His only words? "Dumbass". So, he got another one out and installed it correctly and it's working perfectly. I let it sit in the front seat of my car for about an hour so the heat would cure it and it worked great.
The only downside is that it covers nearly to the edge of the screen and it's just slightly off-center. My favorite case now wants to lift it on that side. Since these things have a lifetime warranty, I may just run back by Best Buy and have them install another one and get it more centered. But as far as the feel and clarity goes, I'm really liking the ZAGG Invisishield HD.
Yea my screens fine unlike the people who drop there phone 24,7. Hate the way if you drop your phone, screen side down it makes a huge crack.

I've ordered a screen protector and a case. Based on the tons of comments I've seen about the screen getting scratched, I am taking no chances with a as device expensive as this.
I went with the highest rated screen protector on Amazon to start with, as well as a $10 TPU case. I might get an Otterbox later if they go down in price or go on sale.
Screen protector
I was looking at Ghost Armour and XO skins. Has anyone used them? They are pricey but have lifetime warranty and look nice.
Any particle of sand is stronger than any Gorilla Glass by the sheer virtue of quartz (sand) having a higher hardness than borosilicate glass (gorilla glass).
Harder substance will always scratch softer ones.
I'm actually using an extremeguard screen protector and i found it disturbing, swiping with the finger is not smooth anymore
Wondering if the screen protector is really needed, what do you guys think?
I depends how careful you are with your phone I guess. I've never had one on any of my phones and I've never had a scratch.
It depends on what you do with your phone. However, the Gorilla Glass 2 is quite hard. (Vicker's hardness test of 622 to 701)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla_Glass
See the Wikipedia article on Vicker's Test for a comparison to other materials.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_hardness_test
Personally, I'm not a big fan of screen protectors because the screen protectors tend to scratch easier than the glass. Others disagree.

Depends how OCD you are about scratches. Contrary to popular belief, Gorilla Glass can scratch and with bad luck even the most careful user will still get a scratch. I don't really mind small scratches so I'm using mine without a protector right now. I'll probably give the Fantom glass protector a go when it comes out though.

No. They do nothing but look like s*it.
Not sure if you know this or not but it's safe to say that you'll need to wait atleast 72 hours after installing a quality screen protector to regain smooth swiping. It has to do with the oils in your fingers.
i dont use screen protectors because i find the installation process to be annoying. only scratch i ever gotten was from my nexus s.
Depends on how much you care about keeping your phone in pristine condition. I've owned the phone for about 3 weeks now. I've been very careful with it, yet I still have managed to get micro scratches on the back and front. They are barely noticeable, in fact I can only see them when under a bright light, but nevertheless they are still there. I don't plan on ever using a case or any type of protection.

Live by screen protectors, had a few scratches on previous phones and since then I have always used them as I can remove them (if they go bad) and replace them I know it doesnt effect resale value as much but I prefer it.
Bestskinsever are the best IMO and after applying my screen protector I would say it was the best application ever, no bubbles or anything apart from a little bit at the top right (not on the screen, non issue) looks like there isnt a protector on it for the most part, I actually like the feel of the BSE skins it it enhances grip and I dont need to worry about a bumper now to protect the glass while on a desk along with the fact I notice no real difference in using the touch screen (I prefer it to naked for some reason!).
Each to their own though, Gorilla glass will scratch and I know for a fact random bits of sand and stuff do find there way to me on some occasions so I would prefer to avoid it, for the most part GG is great though.
Every other phone I ever had I put a screen protector on cause they got minor scratches within the first few days just from being in my pocket. I ordered a cheap one on ebay for my N4 but it didn't even fit (too small) so I said screw it and left it naked. I've had it for about a month now and I haven't got a single scratch on it, mind you that I baby my phone... but honestly the glass is very scratch resistent IMO, as long as you don't set it face down on tables or keep it in your pocket with keys or change you should be fine

It's going to be tough for me to go back to using a screen protector since I've grown to love the feel of glass surface and how it doesn't smudge easily.

It's a generic S-line TPU case I got off of eBay for $1.50. I've had a great track record with these on my other phones. But I was just wondering, since the N4 has more glass, will this protect my Nexus from every day falls? I figured that it would protect the front from cracking seeing as to how it has a slight (I'd say 1-2mm) raised lip.
Should I pony up the extra cash for a bumper or will this do its job just fine?
Also, the stock screen protector is starting to tick me off. Should I just peel it off and rock a naked N4 (plus the TPU case, of course)? Despite being made of Gorilla Glass 2, I've heard way too many horror stories of the phone getting scratched or cracking.
I hate the stock protector take it off haha, its really thin anyways, you'll be fine for a while until you get a new protector. And for the case, yeah I'd say it'd help with drops, not like an otterbox, but many bumps and will prevent scratches wherever the phone is covered or facing down while sitting. Don't expect it to save your phone screen cracking wise from those heart dropping drops though lol, just be careful!

I've never used one, I just like the feel of a naked screen. And if you're careful, there is absolutely no need for a screen protector. Even if you aren't careful, its not like the second it hits something you'll have deep scratches. Its probably a pretty tough screen.

Hi, I was wondering if any of you S4 users have any scratches on your screen? I have quite a lot and have had the phone for a month. I thought gorilla glass 3 would be tougher than GG2. My HTC One had less scratches and I had it for longer. My brother had the S4 and complained about the amount of scratches also.
I have also noticed a couple of scratches on the screen. I have had mine for just over a month.
lot of it is down to environment. No amount of careful use will help if there is lint / dust particles in your pocket. Those are invisible but those minute sand particles will scratch anything short of diamond.
My sis has lot of fine hairline scratches on the ONE's soft key area which is only thing exposed. Screen part was covered and as some screen protectors had issues with soft keys, she had cut bottom part of the screen protector and it has fine scratches there.
Unless you really make sure there is no lint or you live in area which does not have too much wind dust, it is not easy to keep the phone scratchless without screen protector and without babying it.
I have always said, put a screen protector on it. Nature is more unpredictable than our technology, and more harsh than what we think.
I have absolutely no scratches and I wouldn't exactly say I baby my phone either

Have you considered using a glass screen protector? It gives the same "Snappy" effect as bare glass but also provides scratch protection for the screen.
Assuming I get the S5, that will be my first investment for the device.

I would say for this reason more so than not. See, pocket lint and other dust/dirt/contaminates that make it into your pocket can often times cause micro scratches on your screen. Do you know what happens when those little items you can barely see get trapped between the flip cover and the screen? Well as you walk it actually uses that cover to grind those things into the screen even more. I like the flip covers, but without a screen protector i think they stand the potential to do more harm than good. I say, having a screen protector has yet to be a hindrance, why chance it.

I remember hearing somewhere it uses Gorilla Glass 3. I'm 100% sure it does. As for a screen protector, I find them unnecessary. I never drop my devices and always clean with microfiber, so scratches haven't been a problem. It's really a personal thing, but if I had to go for a screen protector it would be Spigen's GLAS.tr model.

Be extremely careful with the S5 bezel. I dropped my S5 facing down the other day. I took it and checked as if anything was broken. Didnt look carefully but turned out the bezel cracked but its very very hard to notice unless u watch it closely. I think a bumper wont hurt anyone. I personally want this girl naked

I was planning on going naked with the S5 but I guess I'll invest in a decent case anyway. Better safe than sorry.
