Do you carry sand in the case? Sounds like you work with sand a lot, especially the dry one.
Buying screen protector is a waste of money. I must have spent over $100 just on screen protectors in the past! they were worthless, and have problems with bubbles and wrinkles even though they were installed by the Zagg representatives. They are punks and have no manners and don't treat the customers well either. They are low class garbage.
If someone points a gun at me to buy any kind of protective shield for iPad 2 I would get it to cover the BACKSIDE... not the front.
Also, I have removed the Zagg protective shield from my iPod Touch 4 screen. It hasn't got a single scratch! not even a fine scratch. Completely scratch-free. I couldn't believe I spent lots of $$$ on protective shields for this device. Un-freakin-believable...

Sounds like the Zagg shield worked exactly as advertised. It prevented scratches on your screen.

You misunderstood what I was saying. I have't got a single scratch since I removed the Zagg shield. This is *after* removal, not before.
Don't waste money on protective shields... unless you gonna apply it on the backside.
I have a 2" scratch on my screen. No idea where it came from. Don't use it as a second base nor use it in any way remotely considered "rough" or in a rough/damaging environment.
I thought that too! I have a samsung it has been in "war" and has no scratch, I know very well what is gorilla glass... And iPad has nothing like that! Very poor
Any iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch screens are scratch resistant. I have never had any scratches on any of this devices. Trust me. It is not worse it to spend even $5 on a screen protector and most of them $10-30. If you are using a screen protector you are really limiting your enjoyment of an Apple touch screen technology wich was designed for that.
Even i went to great lengths to protect my ipad 2 screen.
However i did see some minute scratches on the screen after 4 months of rigouros use.
Basically screen protectors are good but they limit your touchpad experience. I removed the screen protector from my iphone because it wasn't allowing proper touch screen interfacing.
So definitely the screen isn't hundred percent scratch proof,yes you can avoid it but not completely.
I have used the smart cover all the time but still i got these scratches so i am really not sure if they can be prevented/avoided
Ya no the iPad isn't scratch resistant, why? Simple my iPad already has a scratch and it's been 2 to 3 weeks, no I'm not throwing my iPad on nails and putting it in a case of sand, I have a sleeve case for it, and I clean it down everyday with my microfiber cloth. And the only time it's ever out of its case is when I'm using for occasional games or notes for my lectures. I've been taking the utmost care of it the second I took it out of the box. The funny part is that I went to the apple store and over heard an employee going on and on about how scratch proof the iPad 2 is and how you can take pins and rub them all over your screen and viola no scratches, thats just utter bs,mi guess you get employed to lie.

They made the iPad not scratch resistant because you already have a scratch?
You mean you think it is not scratch resistant because you lready have a scratch.
Scratch resistant does not mean it cannot be scratched. It simply means it will resist scratching more than "normal" glass.
Lets put it this way ------- **** NO my iPad got scratched by a hazelnut shell in literal
Responded to a 19 month old post...
There's even a bunch of posts online of people scratching their gorilla glass touch screen; it is more scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Until touch screens are made out of diamonds, a scratch is always possible. Also, unless you can foresee the future, you're not going to know if you are going to be dropping your device on it's screen tomorrow.
I have always loved the screen protectors from ScreenGuardz. Compared to the ones at Best Buy (I forgot which brand but they were stickier feeling), these are extremely smooth and the anti-glare is great in sunlight or other bright environments. I've used the ScreenGuardz HD on my HTC Evo 4G for years and have been forever pleased with it's protection. Here's the one for the iPad 2...
But, if you already have scratches in your touch screen since there wasn't a screen protector in place, you might check out the different compounds from these guys. There's compounds for Glass, Acrylic, and Gorilla Glass touch screen displays and it looks like industrial grade stuff or something of the sort. Here's their link...

A little late here, but I hope this helps anyone coming by in the future.
