I think I'm going to go without one for the first time on any phone I've owned.
I never use them. Then again, I take very good care of my phones. Zero scratches (scratch resistance screens, of course).

I always put my phone into my pocket with keys and or other things in there. Even though I'm careful there are times when I'll forget it and put it in. Even though it won't scratch cause we have Gorila glass but I'd still like to have the piece of mind knowing my screen won't be damaged.
I had the myTouch 4G before thid and never installed a screen protector until I got a deep scratch and always been anal since then.

I went to the t-mobile store and bought a new rubber gel case and a 2pack screen protector from them. Surprisingly, I haven't put the protector on yet, cause the screen on this baby is gorgeous! Also, since it has gorilla glass, it shouldn't be a problem at all.
I'm using the one that came on the phone. When I get tired of looking at the air bubbles ill take it off.

I haven't used a screen protector since my Mytouch 3G. I am very careful with my phones and haven't dropped one is years. I think screen protectors take away from touch sensitivity along with dulling the colors of the display.
I never use screen protectors with any of my Gorilla glass devices. But I do use front covering hard cases when going out!
I guess a case yes but not a screen protector. The screen is good enough would be a pity to mess it with a protector.
I've got the tmobile brand screen protectors on , it looks good but the screen protectors scratch easy, already have scratches where I rub the screen most. Thinks about just ditching the screen protectors.

as soon as i purchased the phone i went to zagg.com and bought a full body invisible shield. its military grade and protects against scratches and such. just dont drop your phone. my nexus one looks out of the box thanks to the zagg invisible shield.
I've been using mine without it but if one comes out I like I'll get it.
I like being extra careful with my phone, especially the screen.
but what worries me more is if someone asks to borrow the phone, say female family member, and use the phone with earrings on...
non that are out now really satisfy me.
either too thin and scratch, or doesn't stick right/form at the edges causing bubbles.
has to feel right to the touch too...
Screen protectors?
I'm not at all concerned about damaging my screen but what I like about the matte finish protectors is that it provides a smooth surface for you finger and there are no fingerprints.
I put one on because it's one of those that reduce glare and I like it...it actually helps reduce glare. I also bought one of those zagglike protectors on eBay for 5 bucks so I can cover the bank of the phone and not get it all scratched up when in my pocket...helps with resale 5 months later when I get the Nexus 3

you obviously don't need screen protectors for gorilla glass, its not the matter of "taking good care of your phone", but FINGER PRINTS AND SMUDGES are the worst! thats the only reason i put protectors on my phones or ipads. i ordered one yesterday on amazon.
Didn't use one on my previous phone (HTC Desire, still looks like it was bought yesterday), not going to use one on the Sensation either.
The thing more to worry about is the solid back made of aluminium. While it seems as solid as advertised, mine already features visible scratches, and I don't put it together with keys. It's the brown colour I suppose...

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.

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!
Im ultra pissed, i know gorilla glass is not scratch proof, but scratch resistant and its supposed to be immune to key scratches, but it cant take dust? my phone has a new scratch because yesterday i was in house thats under construction and its really dusty, i googled and turns out the gorilla glass kryptonite is dust

Well, it all depends on what kind of dust, obviously.
I work with alot of shop type of stuff. Filing a piece of aluminum produces dust, metal dust.
Putting a piece of sandpaper in your pocket, the granules can rub off the paper, leaving abrasive particulates behind, even after the sandpaper itself is long gone.
I learned my lesson with my captivate. Put it in my shirt pocket, with nothing else. Later on I discovered hairline scratches, so some tiny crap was left in the pocket that I couldn't detect, and the phone got scratched.
I'd also be wary of holsters that don't have a soft felt inner lining on the side that contacts the screen. If it's leather-lined, as many inexpensive ones are, well, leather abrades. Strops for honing blades aren't made of leather for no reason.

Bought mine from AT&T. Screwed up the first one (thought the foggy stiff side was the adhesive protector... BTW, the ones from AT&T come in a 2 pack), but the first one is still on and I'm starting my 6th or 7th week with it. That might have something to do with the silicon cover I have though. It actually wraps around the front far enough that it overlaps the screen protector.
I know it came with 2 but I figured the first one came off so quick why put on the other... I also bought a couple off of eBay so I will put them on when I feel the time is right, and I think my case contributed to removing quicker also...it sit right on the edge of the screen, not on the screen but to the side and I think it could have interfered with it...

Well. Looks like u have to make a decision... have a clearer screen with scratches on it (because no matter what u do, u will eventually get scratches) or loose a little bit of clarity with a screen protector and have no scratches. Screen protectors are temporary; they can be removed. Scratches are permanent.

Haha ! They're always 'careful' and still manange to do it lol.
I did some tests to my screen since its defective and they're sending me another one anyways. One test with a small slotted screwdriver & another with a military grade Rex Applegate Gerber combat folder. Neither of them left a mark with average pressure. Now in all fairness they wouldn't scratch real glass either.
The real trouble lies between a rock and hard place, literally.
Dirt and quartz sand WILL scratch anything. So while I would say its pretty safe from knives and screws and such Oh My ! It would probably be a good idea to slap something on it unless you are cool with it eventually showing some lines.
Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. A heavy duty screen protector like a Zagg, Phantom Skinz, or BSE will give you good protection at the cost of responsiveness and looks. I personally don't dig the orange peel look, or feel. The last one I installed was by Real Look and it protects my screen (on my vibrant) but doesn't make the screen any less responsive. It may not offer the best protection but this screen doesn't need that much protection to begin with plus if installed properly you can't even tell that it's on there. I'm personally going to try my luck and go without one this time on the sensation. Just don't be fooled by some of these guys saying that it's unscratchable. It's still glass.
I would suggest you avoid the screen protectors that T-Mobile sells though - my first one was good for about a week. The Brando one on my Nexus One has lasted through at least a year of the same use. Unfortunately Brando doesn't list one for the Sensation yet.
I pay the $6 or $7/mo for insurance and I was case/coverless on my Vibrant for most of the past year (and it seemed much flimsy-er than this phone), so I think I'm gonna run commando on the Sensation as well.
Cases (especially the screen covers) are over priced and I kinda have my doubts as to how much 'protection' you are getting from them.
Plus, they are bulky and not as good looking as my 'naked' phone.
I had a Zagg screen protector on my Desire for almost a year, at first it was quite unpleasant to use (rubbery?!)compared to the glass-screen, but after a while it got more 'slippery' and better to use, but i peeled it of my Desire eventually because i got tired of the glue-alike compound that was sweating out of its edges.
Other than that i can say as much as if i were to buy a screen protector i would not hesitate buy another Zagg.
I don't know how hard a Gorilla glass screen is, but as a watchmaker i know that you can scratch everything in the right environment, like sand can contain fragments that are harder than Sapphire glass on wrist watches.

I was checking to see how many people do not use screen protectors and how many people do use screen protectors? I am just seeing if anyone is not using the screen protectors. I was wondering because I am having to change mine and it is clear as hell with it off. With it on it is kinda fuzzy. Anyone experiencing scratches in their screen without the screen protectors?
It was the first thing I did to the phone. No need for a screen protector. I have trained myself to carry the phone in my left pocket and keys in the right.
Mine came with a screen protector from the t-mobile store. It seemed pretty smooth, and clear, so I decided to leave it on. About a week after buying the phone, I noticed that the screen protector had gotten scratched, most likely from keys in my pocket. So I removed it and cleaned the glass.
I've been without a screen protector for weeks now, and I like it much better. It is so smooth when I use swype, and obviously the clarity is unmatched. With that being said, I am much more careful about what I have in my pocket along with my phone.
Judging by the lameness of the original screen protector, and what I've read about the GorillaGlass, I have a feeling that whatever was jagged enough to scratch the GorillaGlass, would have gone right through the protector anyway...so I'm going without one.
But I guess I have to be prepared for the consequences if I do mess it up.
I don't use a screen protector and I don't have any scratches. Its gorilla glass so its a lot more durable than ordinary glass.

So I guess the gorilla glass works and when I go out I'll throw a gel case on around the phone
I've kept the screen protector that originally came installed on the phone on it. Its not the greatest and is pretty scratched up now, but I'm not going without one. I've had a vibrant and sgs4g, both with high quality gorilla glass, both ended up getting tiny hairline scratches all over them. I only noticed the scratches at certain angles in certain light, but that's enough for me to not be foolish and think I should have to baby my phone. I shouldn't have to think alot about how I set my phone down or which pocket I put it in and "I hope the coins, keys, pens, etc don't scratch it ". I'd rather just keep a screen protector on and forget about it.
I've decided for now though to not worry about a case. They add too much bulk in my pocket and I'm not too concerned about the condition on the body. That may change if I find a slim case that doesn't hang in my pocket when I try pull I out.

Not to sound x-rated, but going without a screen protector is like not using a condom. You'll love the feel of not using one, but you may possibly pay in the long run by not using one. To me its just a phone and I know it will be replaced by the Samsung Hercules or the next Nexus phone whenever that comes out. Also I am pretty careful about where I place my phone so I never get scratches or dents. If your a landscaper or mechanic then I can understand the use of a screen protector.

I'm using the Clarivue anti-glare SP on mine -- not for protection, since I keep the phone in a belt case, but to reduce fingerprint smudges and glare. It really helps with those things and doesn't degrade the image quality much at all. I also really like the feel -- on the bare screen, my finger would drag and stick a little on the smooth glass, but the screen protector has just enough texture so it's like moving my finger over paper, no sticking or dragging.
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.

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.
Oh and gorilla glass is an official spec from HTC, maybe you have faulty unit

Guys officially the Sensation has gorilla glass. Look here http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc
Why would they lie about it there?
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.

LOL...nothing has touched your phone, yet scratches have "magically" appeared?
Only my manicured fingers and on other forums people are reporting the same unless the pocket of my dress shirt are hazardous my g2x never scratched

As far as i can comment... all of us have a habit of shifting fones once in 2 years to new ones.. So using a screen protector thats tested by ppl is advised as when u gonna sell out this toy for new one the first thing that will shatter the resale value will b the screen status...and as far as my xperience no probs with screen protector from day1 and got it from ebay many gud thin protectors available...."Precaution is always better"

if it is gorilla im not impressed none of my other phones scratched so easily i love going nekkid i honestly hate cases and screen protectors. How does the skimoni fit the screen? Do the curved glass give it any issues? I did check the cornings site and saw that it was, but idk this phones screen is made by two companies and I have a hunch that those made by sharp arent scratchin and those made by acer are.

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.
