Scratches on my Iphone 3G. Buffers/Removing Scratches/ Screen protectors?

So recently, my phone fell flat, hard on its face (screen), from about 2 ft. I watched in horror as it slid. I looked at the screen it seemed fine, but there was hardly any light at the time. Later that day, i looked, and saw the scratches there. I was horrified.

Anyway, does anybody have similar experience and were able to remove the scratches? Any help would be appreciated, also, i am waiting the arrival of the invisible shield, it is a screen protector, and wondering, will the protector hide the scratches?

Here are a couple of pictures in my photobucket album, view the scratches.

The invisible shield might help in reducing the scratches. I too was waiting for my shields to arrive and my wife ended up dropping hers on the concrete before I can put the shields on. There was slight damage near the mic and chrome bezel. If it bothers you that much you can get the display replaced. It is much cheaper to repair now because the glass is not attached to the LCD. BTW the invisible shields work great. All my iPods have them and it keeps them like new. You can also try bestskinsever they are 1/3 of the price and are just as good.
