Not easily scratched.
The screen protector takes away from the beautiful viewing of the screen and (I don't care what anyone says) lessens the touch screen responsiveness.
I had a screen protector on my HD2 for a while, and have not been happier since removing it. And I've had Invisibleshield, BodyGuardz and BSG. They all lessen the experience. Since removing the screen protector on my HD2, I have not had a single scratch. And that's after 3 months or less with the screen protector on and 9 months or more with it off.
And what the HD2 has is not as good as what the Sensation will have in Gorilla Glass.
Don't use lame screen protectors man...
I used them on my HD2 like Darnell_Chat_TN for like 3months. Now almost 8 months later I still have 0 scratches on my naked HD2. You just need to look out if you put it in your pocket with keys etc.
I've got a Thunderbolt which is said to have gorilla glass, but some users are still reporting the glass to be getting scratched. There are some very clear screen protectors which you wont even notice on. I recommend you place a screen protector on. Realook is what I've got on mine.
Well I never knew it, but the HTC HD2 does have Gorilla Glass. No wonder the screen is so strong.
No screen protector for me and loving it . Now I know I won't use one on the Sensation after seeing the difference with my HD2!
I think the screen protector on my G2x is one reason I didn't see the brilliance of the IPS/LED screen as much as it was hyped. Had one on my Nexus One before I had the screen replaced for the first time (dust, still a problem).
My wife's Nexus One has endured a LOT of purse-abuse and doesn't really show it. It's amazing how people can scratch these modern screens in daily use.
look in this thread at the screen protectors link. i couldnt link directly as i dont have enough posts.

I am one of the people who likes to be extra careful. Besides, I've seen various types of damage inflicted on the supposedly scratchproof Gorilla Glass, and I just don't buy into the claims made by the company. More durable than conventional glass? Sure it is. Indestructible? Definitely not.
I'll definitely be slapping a screen protector on my Sensation.
+1 for a protector. I am over protective of my devices and it shows. I take the case and screen screen protector off and it's practically brand new.
I take such good care of my stuff that I have a regular clientele of friends and family who buy my old phones off me, because they tell me it's like buying the phone new.
Shouldn't be calling people lame for wanting to protect their stuff. Not everyone on these forums upgrades their phone every 6 months.
Has anyone got a screen protector on their Sensation? I'm just wondering if the bevelled screen effects it.
I use the Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector on my HD2. I tried about 4 other brands and the Boxwave works best for me. Screen is almost as vibrant with the screen protector as it is without one and the touch sensitivity is fine. It also seemed to be easier to install than the other protectors I tried.

I had my nexus one for a year without a screen protector as well and no scratches what so ever. I used my wifes phone that has a screen protector and I don't like it at all. So no screen protectors for me for this one.
I can't wait for this phone to be released!
Gorilla Glass is not 100% scratchproof ( Proven on my HD2)
well It is really hard to brake.
You can consider buying a nice sleeve for your phone .
It is in my opinion a better solution
What I mean : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql37A-SgA3A
There is really no need for a screen protector. Care for your phone. It after all a remarkable peace of technology. Not just a toy.
Although I f you want a toy just get a Samsung.
100% Genuine plastic toy feeling.
bought a gel case with screen protector. the screen protector didnt fit. shame as the case is perfect. managed to drop phone on floor by accident outside. not a mark on the screen. will still get screen protector though.

That list says my G2 has Gorilla Glass too. It was a strong screen but it did get a small scratch. So I bought a [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004763E9M]Realook Premium Screen Protector[/URL] it is truly crystal clear and responsive.

I bought the HTC screen film however the sides around the screen as its kinda lipped up would not apply correctly (bubbled up). Remove this after a few days and found a desire protector, applied it successfully, however obviously its a bit short. bought a case from ebay and it came with a protector, which covers the screen but does not go all the way to the edge, stuck on well and no apparent "bubbles". its ok quality. case is ok silicon case
The other thing I like about the screen protector I have on my HD2 (Hence my preference for screen protectors, is that the matte finish cut down the reflections on the reflective screen. That and I'm a klutz!

I bought these screen protectors from ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320530609441&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
They were well priced, easy to apply and does not affect the screen useability at all.
But they scratch too easily. I have had one fitted for around 3 weeks and its already badly scratched.
My mate has a matt one which is very scratch resistant but it affects the screen picture quality and is not as smooth.
So which one can you reccomend which is easy to apply, highly scratch resistance and does not affect the useability?
thanks
A screen protector??? On the desire? Why? Its got a glass screen. I've had mine 3 months now. I keep it in my pocket with my car keys and stuff... not a mark whatsoever... you can actually take a key to the screen and rub for a few mins and it wont leave a mark.
That's funny you talking about scratch resistent screen protectors when the screen is already scratch resistent
Thats interesting to hear.
I bought a phone 2nd hand from ebay and it had small scratch on the screen. So cant be that good,
I've just ordered a clarivue anti-glare protector as I've heard these are quite good.
It's almost impossible to watch video on it in sunlight!
I use the genuine HTC screen protectors and I think they're great! They don't show finger sorts as much as the screen alone, they're smooth and a perfect fit for the fill screen of the Desire. As for scratch resistance, had one of the protectors on for about 2 weeks and there's not a single mark.
They can be found on eBay for £3.75 with free delivery, you get two screen protectors in a pack.

Well I guess if yours had a scratch on the screen then something pretty bad must have happened to it.. And the person selling is is only doing so so they can then buy a new one that isn't damaged.
Here's a video of the htc evo being attacked with a razor blade, a screw, a car key etc.. and it remains mark free.. The screen is similar to the desires.

That is incorrect. The HTC Evo uses gorilla glass whereas the Desire DOES NOT. The desire is much more prone to scratches I would recommend getting a screen protector.
BW UltraClear PDA S/P (HTC Desire)
Since I am buying HTC, I am using BW UltraClear. Very good quality, very good sustainability, fit well to the screen. Just a little bit expensive, but usually it last the life of the screen.

Since the M2 has Gorilla Glass...is it necessary to have a screen protector on it?
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA Premium App
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936911.
Personally I haven't use protector for M1 and don't use it for M2 as well. Newer had any issue without it.
There isn't a need to apply a screen protector for m2 since it has gorilla glass.
The only instance which i think you would need a screen protector is if you carry your m2 in a pocketful of nails, which isn't probably the brightest idea.
Go ahead and youtube for gorilla glass, there's plenty of video of the gorilla glass being able to take plenty of abuse
OK cool. I guess screen protectors are pretty much uselss on a GG screen.
theres really no point using a screen protector on gorilla glass screen as many have said. however if u still want too, spend a few dollars getting one that will not affect the sensitivity of the screen
personally speaking, i never had a screen protector on my X1, and that didnt have GG, and it help up very well to my daily abuse for 2 years, hence i didnt bother getting one for my MS2

honestly speaking mate, no scratches at all. the rest of the phone is in pretty bad shape ie chips and dents and cracks but the screen is as good as new
I use screen protectors for ALL/ANY phone, "Gorilla Glass" or not, seen as I believe all phone screens can get scratched one way or another. Also, I found dat they never effect the functionality of da phone, and in some cases improve it, for example on da Xperia X10 & original Milestone. Gonna check out "Gorilla Glass" on YouTube anyway doe.

There not a urgent need to use screen protector due to the gorilla glass but does have some advantages:
- fingerprint free screen protector such as those from steinheil reduces the need to keep wiping your phone. I used both the crystal clear and the fingerprint free version, and personally really like the fingerprint free one although it does "blur" the display a little bit but only if I hold the phone right up to my face.
- the gorilla glass could still shatter, depending on the angle of fall. I know someone who had his screen shattered, but still continues to use it cracks and all. and it's still okay because the screen protector kept the screen in shape and protects the sliding fingers from the cracks.
I have an OtterBox screen protector on my device and it works flawlessly. I also have a Skinomi on reserve, so when I need to replace the OtterBox screen protector, I can. But Skinomi is by far the best on the market as of right now.
I must be unlucky then, cause having my ms2 in my pocket (with nothing in it) and pulled it out to find a small scratch - now have about 3 or more decent scratches on the screen. I've had it fall face down on pebbles and come out wthout a single scratch, but apparently lint and cotton are lethal for it... go figure :S.

I haven't used any screen protector
so far I have used milestone 2 for more than one year ,there is not any scars in the screen
so I think there is no need to buy the screen protector just use the phone with care
I had Milestone 1 for a year with no scratches on the Gorilla glass.so it is not necessary to buy a screen protector for M 2.
I dont use screen protector too... But i want some good case on my MM2... Do you have a case? Any to recomend?
Sry for my Eng.
yeah, i was looking for a case/screen protector but i couldn't find any to fit it,
the slide kb seems to be a problem in those cases
I use the OtterBox case (includes screen protector), it fits very well and protects the phone
I have a Samsung Vibrant since July of last year. My screen protector just feel off today. I'm going to buy a HTC Sensation on June 8th. I've read posts about how it has the Gorilla Glass screen. What is the difference from this screen and the screen on the Vibrant?
Should I buy another protector for my Vibrant? And for my HTC Sensation when I get it.
I work at a Body shop and the phone sometimes gets dirty with dust, It's been dropped about two times since I got it but nothing on the screen. Obviously the screen protector had some scratches on it. Am I just over thinking it?
Thanks in advance for the help!
i recomend you buy both screen protectors for sensation and vibrant. just so you dont regreat it later on and its only 10 bucks or less.
does the bevelled screen on the sensation affect the application of the screen protector at all?
The HTC Sensation has a contoured screed display making it more difficult it to get scratched. "Supposedly" the Sensation will have Gorilla Glass. I had the Vibrant and I've been told and have read in several different places that it has Gorilla glass... I have also seen posts where Gorilla glass is still scratchable so I do suggest a screen protector just in case.
Depending on what screen protector you get the bevelled screen shouldn't be too much of an issue
I HAVE to have a screen protector on my devices. Although they say its really hard to scratch, little scratches do appear.

Got the HTC screen protectors (2 protectors) then i applied the protector as soon as i got the phone. However the sides around the screen where the screen lips up dont seem to stick on (bubbles) however the rest of the screen is fine. not sure if its me but ive had many phones over the years and never had a problem applying screen protectors. i ripped it off any how after a day and stuck a spare desire screen cover on it for now, no air bubbles it almost fits the screen but missing about 2-4 mm at the bottom. will buy some non htc screen protectors on fea-bay and try again.

i read some where that this phone doesnt have gorilla glass and I believe them now. I usually dont like screen protectors on my phone cuz its lowers the quality of the screen and ruins responsiveness. So I had one on my sensation but because of the curve I kept getting bubbles I took it off and from only puttin the phone in my dress shirts pocket only I've already gotten a scratch!!! WTF my g2x would be in pocket with keys and change and no issues this was babied and in less than 12 hours of no screen protector i noticed my first scratch, I mean its fairly small but im just very anal about my phone. Which is why ill be gettin another protector and why I believe this phone does not have gorilla glass. Anyone else have this issues?
I thought I read that the Sensation DOES have Gorilla Glass.
yup - was going bukkey nekkid until I went to wipe the screen and it has a tiny little scratch on it. Have no idea where it came from. Bought the Skinomi protector the same day. Still not using a case yet.

I've read that but the screen is less resilient than my N1 so far. I've pampered this thing and somehow it has a tiny scratch. If that's gorilla glass then I'm not impressed.

Now that would suck to have the non-gorrilla glass version because you have the bad screen maker.
I bought a case and screen protector at Tmobile after receiving my phone by mail, because they sent a "1/2 off" accessories coupon in my bill, then it was 20% off in-store if you purchased both. So together they were like $22, came with 2 screen protectors. Have no idea how long one lasts.
I can assure you mine has gorilla glass, been amazed at how resilliant the screen is and how after month when I wipe it still looks bran new.
When i turn off my phone and the screens clean and I angle it at a light the screen looks kinda bumpy, my friend said this was the gorilla class. Either way its very good for me no scratches at all.

I have no screen protector and so far (touch wood) no scratches either.
It's not magic though, so keep it out of the washing machine...
Officially gorilla glass is more scratch resistant than normal glass, it's NOT scratch proof. I don't have screen protector, and am extremely careful with the screen, but I have a couple of tiny scratches, which are hard to see and don't bother me at all.

My personal experience, this is my first time having a phone without screen protector, I have always been using a Full body shield protection but I decided to go bare all the way this time, it feels good.... from day 1 since the Sensation came out, never had a single scratch on the screen. I'm always careful about my phone though. just my experience.
Yep, as the link posted above shows, it DOES have it. But it's not scratch proof, it just has a higher scratch resistance.
Personally I don't use a screen protector. If you look after your phone, you shouldn't get any scratches
this isnt my first gorilla glass phone and im telling you guys it has now been 24 hours phone hasnt left my side has sat on my work desk and my shirt pocket with nothing else and i have even more scratches maybe mine is faulty. I really think that the differing screens might be the reason but a lot of people are reporting it and I promise you nothing touched this phone I have no idea in 24 hours its been scratched more then my 2g iphone, 3gs, hd2, mt4g, atrix, and g2x. Im thinkin bout going to tmobile but I know there is nothing they can do for me.
My phones have spent entirely too much time face down. Compared to my last phone (POS Feature phone)on which I could barely read the screen at the end of the contract, This new phone/GG screen is a godsend. my condolences to those who got gypped.

I have skinomi on, no problem with curved glass as its wet application, it sticks to the glass perfectly. No issue with responsiveness either..works great. The microbubbles do not disappear quickly though, i had it for 2 weeks now and it still has 3 microbubbles left..it keeps getting smaller everyday though, it will soon disappear completely.
And you have to apply it in a dust free room, mine has some dust under the protector..little annoying when the screen is off.

If you have any plans on possibly selling the phone down the line? I'd slap a screen protector on it. You can get 10 for a dollar from China. If you plan on running the phone into the ground and don't care about selling it for any decent amount of cash down the line, don't worry about it.
Also, gorilla glass may be tough, but a single grain of sand rubbed the wrong way can scratch it.

The screen protectors do not stick verygood on the curved glass. You keep on getting dust under the protector in the corners.
Nope, screen protectors are useless for a phone with Gorilla Glass.
Spend your money elsewhere.
I used to have screen protector for over a year, few days ago i removed it and man... my screen never looked better it's like getting a new phone :laugh:
I work in an relatively dusty environment. no screen protector. 15 months down the line.. screen is pristine. once a month clean it with a microfiber cloth or a soft cotton
cloth removes all smudges. I've even kept keys and phone in the same pocket while riding a bicycle. No scratch on screen. Luckily had a case which protected the body.
