Screen protector - yes or no

I don't use them. You lose resolution the second you apply it. I never had one on my 3G and the glass was mint when I sold it. Don't worry about a screen protector. I just use a silicone sleeve.

Never had a screen protector on any of my iDevices and never got a scratch.

I don't put them in bags or pockets with other things though (keys, coins, etc.).

I use one and it looks fine to me. My wife doesn't and just got a pretty good scratch. She didn't drop the phone and is pretty careful, but I guess somewhere along the way something touched it. Most scratches don't show up much while the display is on, but if you care at all you may want one as the iPhone 4 does seem to be more likely to scratch or break based on many reports.

I always use the crystal ones.. I don't feel it changes the appearance and I have no scratches in the end. If it's put on right you don't even notice it on.

My suggestion: try the *SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal*. You will be amazed, very hard to spot you have a film protector. 🙂

sounds like you got a iPhone 3G(s) protector. I'm temporarily using one myself until the Power Support one for iPhone 4 comes out very soon. I had to cut out part around the ear piece to make it work. Just unfortunate many cases and protectors weren't ready for the phone's launch.

I've always used the crystal ones by Power Support on my previous iPhones and was eagerly awaiting the release of the iPhone 4 version. I placed an extra 3Gs one on the iPhone 4 just to see how it fit and I hated the difference in the resolution. I just might leave this one naked.

I am going to start this off to say I have minor OCD.. ; ) Ok, I use a screen protector on the back of the i4 but not one on the front. I am not using a case since I don't have reception issues but did order a case by Element called the Vapor. It is a bit pricey but super sweet looking.
The front doesn't have any scratches and I work in an industrial environment, I just don't put it in my pocket with anything else in it.
Good luck.

The iP4 is my 4th iPhone and I've never scratched the screen on any of them since starting in 2007 and I've never put any protection on the display on any of them.

They go in my pocket, in my computer bag, on the dash in the car, etc.. I do try to make sure I don't have grit on my hands when using it and I don't have kids and have never let kids play with them.

The display is tough and can take almost anything in normal use. It's also best to use them naked for the best iPhone experience.

If you don't carry your pet rock around in your pocket, then you should be fine. Oh, and keys are pretty bad. And pens. Anything metal.

But be wary of the pet rock. That's the worst.

@EB- That's some funny sh**!!! I remember reading that guy that had a rock in his pocket. HAHAHAHHA!!!!

My screen is naked right now because I've been holding out for the Power Support protectors, supposedly shipping at the end of the month. I used their Crystal film on my 3GS and always loved it. I don't carry rocks in my pocket, but a little extra protection never hurt.

I looked at the SGP film that someone mentioned, but it appears from the pictures that there's no cut-out for the front facing camera. Can anyone verify that?
