I think the problem that some of you guys who are against screen protectors, like the ones who say things like "I had one installed or I put one on and hated the feel of it, didn't feel/look the same" are ones who put on or had installed those ones similar to the Zagg Invisible Shield. Those types, usually wet apply ones, are really are about the only ones that cause the look and feel of the screen to change. They are tacky feeling, have problems with giving an orange peel texture, and a pain overall to put on and overpriced. If you just buy almost any static cling or other type of dry install clear one, sometimes even the freebies that come with caes, can be awesome screen protectors and have no affect at all on the screen in looks or feel.
I have a screen protector that I paid $8 for and I put on the whole face of my Sony PSP that I bought on release day in March 2005 and it's a clear dry install type and it has never came off. My PSP including the screen protector looks brand new, no scuffs or scratches, and it never started peeling off, never affected the look of it etc. You just have to pick up a nice clear protector that's not a wet install and you won't even be able to tell it's there, and you can be rest assured your phone won't get scratched so easily.
