Anyone going with a naked screen? I just got a trident case. It came with a screen protector. I like the feel of the glass better. Gorilla glass 2 unscratchable?

Naked but I got a ZAGG on the front of mine!
The screen isn't scratch proof. So if you care about getting scratches kn your screen, then get a screen protector.

serious? the back cover is easily replaceable and cheap to. The screen on the other hand not so much.
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
Nude! Just using a case. I can't find a screen protector I like.

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 can lurk no further.
I've never actually purchased a screen protector before... But looking around at all these choices... So confusing!
From what I've gathered.

http://www.bestskinsever.com/google-nexus-4-skin
http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...protectors/google-nexus-4-full-body-protector
Are the best options. But some people seem to want the dry screen protectors and I have no idea why, I work at Best Buy and people seem to love the Zagg ones. They are easy to install too. Not cheap, About 25 HD one and 15 for installation for the iPad Mini. But everybody here comments on how crappy Zagg is. I looked at the Skinomi full bodies and I like the idea. Since the N4 has a nice design on the back, I don't want to cover that up with something other than a clear protector.
I'm not really sure which ones are the "best". For my gnex I ended up buying a 6 pack of cheap-o's for like $1.20 and they worked fine. If I end up getting any for my nexus 4 I think I will just do the body one and not the screen. I have never scratched a screen before, am very careful with my devices, but I feel like since the back is glass that could easily get scratched. I dont want to have an amazing screen and have to ruin it by putting a piece of plastic over it. Quick question though, what factors are you interested in in finding the best screen protector?

My personal experience with the full body skins is generally poor. It may due to my lack of skills but I find putting on the back protector utterly infuriating due to the fact that getting the sides and corners to fit perfectly well to be very difficult. I have watched suggestions from some installation videos that ask for the use of a hair dryer to help the corners stick but in general I don't get an exactly perfect fit.
I usually just stick to a generic front faced screen protector, it doesn't seem to be worth it to pay around $20 for essentially a piece of plastic over my screen.

I was always against screen protectors too but after scratching my screen I now buy like 2 dozen cheap ones from e-bay and use those. It takes me about 6 tries every time I put one on. I don't believe all the hype about one being better than another. Some of the higher priced ones come from the same company with different cool names. Meh.

I used the cheap ebay ones for my galaxy nexus, they worked fine. They did collect a crazy amount of fingerprints though. I think it is better just to buy a 6 pack of those for about a dollar than 1 "good" one for like 15-20 bucks. Doesnt really make sense

Which do you recommend as the best? I feel like most cheap generic ones take on fingerprints easily and I've never tried a good brand, so I might be willing to buy one this time around.
There should be a small gap between the frame and the back glass, maybe the screen protector could just fit in it, if you know what I mean

I love Realook on eBay. Their screen protectors look and feel just like the glass in my opinion. Perfectly sized and self adhesive. I hate the ones that require moisture to put on and are stretchy and have the rubbery/orange peel effect. Once I discovered Realook, I buy all my protectors from them. And no, I do not work for them, I just feel that strongly about them haha. My phone screen might not ever get scratched without it, because I am careful, but this at least gives me the peace of mind to not worry.
In my experience, screen protectors are a necessity. Screens may be very scratch resistant, but the keyword is "resistant". There are several minerals that can scratch the screen with ease, and they can be found in many places, even the little grooves of gunked up coins. My wife has scratched almost every phone screen she has had once the screen protector comes off. Whether she keeps it in her clean purse or in her pocket, it doesn't matter.
Take a look at a Realook link: Realook screen protectors
Also, what about tempered glass screen protectors?

I currently have a Skinomi on my Optimus V, and it has treated me well. It was wet apply, and after more than 2 years, it is only just beginning to peel off in the place where it was slightly off when I applied it. It's completely transparent (you can only tell it's there in certain light, plus the fact it's peeling in the one spot ) and very resistant to fingerprints. I pretty much only have to wipe the screen off if I've eaten something greasy and then touched the screen. It is also very easy to slide your finger over it. It also has a lifetime warranty so if it breaks I can send it in and get a new one for free!
I think I'm going to try out a BestSkinEver for the N4 though. I like the idea of a full body (sides, back, front, camera, etc) protector. Plus its relatively cheap and I've heard only good things about them.

There are several arguments in favor of using screen protectors as there are several things capable of scratching Gorilla Glass. Most notably sand. I get the feeling here that a lot of people plan on using some combination of either a screen protector on the front and back, or a screen protector on the front with some kind of TPU case.
I personally don't like screen protectors or cases. I don't like the way screen protectors make the phone feel, and cases generally make the phone too bulky for my liking. No less, I plan on going with one of the androidified cases by CruzerLite whenever they're released -- they're kind of like the case for people who hate cases. I'm willing to make this sacrifice to save myself from an indoor drop. In New Hampshire, all bets are off when you're outdoors.
After a year my RAZR has a single hairline scratch that's only noticeable if you really look for it. Never had a screen protector on it.
That being said I have seen many people who got scratches and on gorilla glass seemingly easily.

I strongly advise a protector. The new tempered glass protectors are really nice but they aren't available for this phone yet. I was totally okay using gorilla glass 1 (original) without a protector. I used my Sensation naked for months and it never got a single scratch. Not even a nick. I sold it in perfect condition. My nexus already has a few microscratches in it though. I have seen galaxy SIIIs with scratches in them too. Gorilla glass II just sucks. It may still be resistant to cracking and shattering, but it seems to have virtually no scratch protection anymore. When I get my warranty replacement, I'm definitely putting a screen protector on.

I don't plan on using one until some tempered glass ones start coming out. I hate how normal screen protectors feel.

I highly doubt this. My nexus has been subjected to the same if not better conditions as my sensation and already has scratches whereas my sensation was even dropped on concrete and not a scratch. A simple Google search will show most people find the original gorilla glass to be more scratch resistant. Samsung Galaxy s2 vs s3 is a prime example.

Are the scratches on the actual screen surface or on the front lip of the phone? From my experience the front lip area is very sensitive to fine scratches (though not very noticeable) but the screen itself is pretty resistant. This is a bit extreme, but worth checking out too --

That's odd considering the screen doesn't touch a surface when you lay it face down. There are small lips at the top and bottom of the phone to keep the screen slightly elevated. Are you sure it wasn't caused by dust/sand/grit in your pocket?

I too scratched it by putting it face down on a table. The center of the screen touches the surface and it even spins. I got semi-circular scratches on my phone. I never once got scratches on my GS2, so the only explanation is the fact that there is no lip. Today I received a replacement device and sent back the scratched one (Moto has a 14 day exchange policy). Now we know not to put it face down.
I learned my lesson with my Note 2. It was the first phone I didn't put a screen protector on and it was also the last one. I put one on my X before I even powered it on.

I choose not to use a screen protector. What's the point of protecting the glass if you never get to feel how nice it is? There are no screen protectors that offer the same feel as glass with the exception of the steinheil glas.t ones but they have their own set of issues. I haven't used a screen protector on any phone since the EVO 4G and have never gotten any serious scratches. Superficial swirls, yes, but who gives a crap about those? Not I. These are glass screens not plastic, and as such they are very hard to scratch. They don't need screen protectors.

Right, so use a crappy protector so the next guy gets to use a perfect screen. I sell all my old devices so I am well aware of how it affects resale value. Are you really going to ugly up your phone for a year or so with a protector just so you can make an extra $50 later on down the road? Or drag your fingers across a ****ty plastic protector vs. nice smooth glass when gaming? Doesn't make any sense to me. It boggles my mind how people scratch their screens so easily. I work in the trades and I always toss my phone in my tool bag with tons of sharp, jagged tools and I don't get any scratches ever. On any phone.

Hint: not everybody considers buying a phone for resale after the new hotness comes along. People who do? Of course they should consider putting on a screen protector and an otterbox.
But people who value ergonomics? Not so much.
FWIW, my last two phones have been case and screen protector free. They've picked up the odd cosmetic ding, but the gorilla glass has been flawless after two years of usage. YMMV.

Hint: Everyone cannot have a smartphone for two years and not use screen protectors without having a scratched up screen. There are no ergonomics to value on a scratched up screen unless one appreciates having their fingers get red or irritated from rubbing it while scrolling, swiping, or playing games.

I can't see amazon US or other countries (forced to mobile domain on mobile).
There are currently 2 (one for $6 and another for $7). Probably cheaper on US site.
How these fit - don't know but so far that's all I can find.

I don't think these ones cover the curved display.
Skinomi Blackberry Priv screen protector is a great alternative to glass. I honestly don't mind having it for now until I could find a glass shield that really fits.. IMO, it would be difficult for Manufacturers to come up with glass one due to the curvature of the device.
I'm more amazed that people aren't opting for, you know, a PRIVacy screen protector (I couldn't resist). Acurved glass one to top that would be awesome.
It would only make logical sense this way.
Just tried SupershieldZ works really well. Edge to edge covering.
can someone explain why the glass thing is better?

I have had clear coat (non glass) and black ice (glass) I prefer the feel of glass over the other screen protectors as its smooth the others all have a bit of "sticky" feeling or resistance, glass feels truest to the original screen.
But the main selling point for me on black ice (I sell cell phones) is its scratch proof, I can take keys to it with no issue. Heck I would stab my phone with a scissors to show customers how strong it was. I had 2 screens break with clear coat, falling from table hight or less. I dropped my g3 off the top of an 8foot. Ladder and it hit the ladder on the way down, cracked the black ice, phone was fine. Also black ice has a warranty, if it breaks you get a replacement for 10 bucks.

Tempered glass screen protectors offer a level of protection. I can say from personal experiences that having tempered glass screen protectors on phones my wife and I have both owned saved us from screen replacements due to drops. The screen protector broken before the screen did.

Another option. Bubbles do reduce after a few days
