Screen protector - yes or no

Also holding out for PowerSupport here. These were great on my 3G and the two-pack lasted me two years+. I went ahead and tried the Case-Mate version for the iPhone 4 and was very disappointed. Very difficult to apply without air/dust bubbles and it really dulled down the retina display.

SGP has the opening cutout over the camera. My friend ordered one and seems to like it on his i4.

I remember the rock guy too. That had to be a windup surely

Yep yep, that's what prompted this post. When I saw this question, I just thought of that guy and his pet rock, haha. 🙂

Thanks! I will look at those, too, then. But I really liked the Power Support.

Do you think if it got scratched thru normal use, Apple would replace it if you quote that they say the screen is supposed to be more scratch resistant?

DEFINITELY NOT!

Apple doesn't cover wear and tear. Screen protectors are a MUST for the iPhone 4 this "scratch resistant screen" is far from it, somehow i have 2 scratches and I have no clue what from never dropped never mistreated always pocket carried.

Oddly enough, there is a post (or a few) on here, mentioning that people have gotten AppleCare to replace their phones when the screen is cracked (or AppleCare may have just fixed the screen).

I have my screen protectors ready for the i4. I have scratched the first iphone, I had it naked. My phones afterwards all had screen protectors and haven't had one scratch. Sometimes I am in a rush and just throw my phones in my purse without puting them in the cell part of the purse.. I don't want to risk it. I must agree some screen protectors you can't even tell you have it on.. as long as you are very careful and replace them when they need replacing, they start to bubble up on the corners when they get old. I get them on ebay real cheap.. 99 cents for 2.

In my opinion it's superior to the Power Support ones. Check out the description: "+I really like this one guys.... Power Support, You met your match+" 😉

I had Best Buy "professionally install" a screen protector (they charge $7 bucks to put it on), but removed it after 48 hours. It just didn't look (and feel) the same.

Naked is better.

Be careful. Your pet rock may get jealous. :-|

Oh don't worry, it gets plenty of attention. In fact, I just taught it to play dead.

I never used a screen protector on my 3G, though I did put a couple on briefly. They never seemed to go on quite right, though I always had the cheap ones. Today, I got the Zagg one for my iPhone 4 and put it on. I have to say that at first blush, I don't like it, though it did go on better than the cheaper ones. Anyway, the destructions said that little bubbles and stuff should go away after 2-3 days, so I am going to give it a week and see if it still annoys me. If it does, I'll go back to naked with the bumper.
