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'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.

I would hate scratches, totally. Also i'll probably sell it in the next two years, and scratches will decrease its value
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

I usually put on a screen protector right away. Since Google decided to send me a replacement handset 3 weeks ago, I've been going without one knowing I'd get a new one anyways. I've had no scratches or marks at all since, even while keeping it in my pocket with my keys.
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.

I don't have any screen protector on my N7. Most people buy a case, that covers the screen too. The N7 has scratch resistant screen (not Gorilla Glass, but almost), and I think it is enough for daily use, and when you have to put it in your backpack, you can use the case. (And it's not too easy to install those screen protectors without any little bubbles, I tried )

Is that official Nexus case enough ?
A screen protector won't prevent the fragile Nexus glass from breaking if it is dropped. I use a matte screen protector since it lets my finger glide over the surface and reduces smudges and reflections. It just feels better than the bare glass. Tricky to apply but worth the effort. Mine has been on for over a month with no signs of wear.
Here's a kit with 3 protectors, case and OTG USB cable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R0FR8332
Maybe putting the silicone case on backwards will help protect the glass from breakage during transport.
Google for the best prices on matte screen protectors. No need for an HDMI cable as there is no matching connector on the Nexus.
I have no screen protector since I like the feel of the screen as it is. After 3 months of constant use, I only have few, tiny scratches.
You decide if you like to enjoy the N7 like it is out of the box (all slim with nice glass and stuff) but with few small scratches; or you want to avoid scratches completely and have bulky covers + some plastic on the screen.

I just bought a Skinomi protector last week sometime. Still waiting for a few bubbles to smooth out but other than that I like it. Easy install and my fingers can still slide well on the screen. The only time it feels a little "rubbery" is when typing. Overall I would recommend.

I'm glad I'm not the only one in this boat. I have a pack of tec armor non-glossy stickers sitting here. I tried for 30 minutes one day to get one on that :
a. did not interfere with camera [not that I use it...]
b. no air bubbles
c. properly aligned.
fail.
it was basically impossible with my fingers/hands and the static electricity attraction. the thing would jump almost an inch to attach itself randomly.
if i were terribly interested I would try to build a cardboard frame or something to align such a thing properly, but that wouldn't help with bubbles or wrinkles or whatever.
I use this protector in the ultra crystal. I found it was much easier to install than Zagg and other wet install protectors. Hardest part was keeping the dust off the screen long enough and that problem was solved by installing in the bathroom after steaming the room with the shower. I prefer the peace of mind of a screen protector, but I'm more paranoid than some.

The only reason you would need a screen protector is if you plan to use the touchscreen in a Beach or construction site constantly. The only way top scratch a gorilla glass screen is to force something harder than gorilla glass on the screen.

Like I said, in the end you'll have to decide yourself. There's a lot of people out there that prefer the feel of naked glass and say they have no scratches, personally I'm not willing to risk even the minor microscopic scratches that are only noticeable at just the right angle with the screen off, so I use protectors.

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!

Oh my goodness. The screen looks and feels SO MUCH better without the screen protector. I'm thinking of just going naked just because of the glossy finish and feel. Is it worth slapping on a screen protector just in case?
I have the LG bumper, but I still have a screen protector on the front and back. From reading other threads the back scratches real easy. I also have a TPU case like yours that I haven't used yet. The bumper is more stylish than the case.

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.

Get one unless you don't care about the glass getting scratched eventually. Look in the assesories forum for more info.
I wouldn't use having a flip cover case as a reason for no screen protector. I'd think some kind of grit could stick to it and rub against the glass making it more likely to scratch than with no cover at all.
I have owned alot of low end devices both Android and Windows Phone and I can say the Nexus 7.2 is my first somewhat high end portable device.
And I can say I have never used any sort of protection, be it a case, bumper, screen protectors and alike. Never ever.
And I only bought a case for my N7.2 because I needed one for transportation otherwise I wouldn't even bother.
Lumia 520, Huawei G300, Nokia 5800XM are some of the examples. Even with careless usage I haven't found a single scratch on any of those devices. Unless you go to the beach and intend on using the gadgets or you travel with them on your pocket with keys, I wouldn't even worry.

Even if the Nexus had Gorilla Glass, it wouldn't take diamond to scratch it. I have the Moko case as well, but be careful with the metal tab on the front as people have reported that it scratches bare screens over time.

Thats odd....cause I find no degree of touch loss with the same protector. I did have some minor issues with or without the SPG protector of some touches not being registered some times.
You might want to try doing what I just did. There is the thread about taking the back of the N7 off and reconnecting the screen ribbon cable. I did this and it made the touches more responsive now. The cable seemed to be plugged in all the way already...but lifting it out of the socket and pushing it back down seems to have made a difference for sure on my unit. Something for you to try anyway, hope it helps.
N7 screen is a dust and fingerprint magnet unlike Apple products I use so I guess a high quality screen protector is a must for protection and clean screen.
I am using Clear-Coat on my iPhone 4 and it is way better than Zagg. I was going to get the same for my N7 LTE but then I decided to sell it and get an iPad Mini with Retina display instead.
