I will bet money on you not needing one. I've seen tons of people with banged up Motorola Droids and SGS phones, but not a single scratch on the screen.
I left the factory one on for now until I find one I like. People have said that the iPod/iPhone screens couldn't be scratched but I have found hair line scratches on my iPod Touch 4th gen screen .
it comes from the factory with one, think that speaks for itself..

Gorilla glass is very difficult to scratch but not impossible to scratch. So I'll be using a screen protector on mine.

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.

Gorilla glass is scratch proof, not resistant. I have a mtg4g and by just looking at it, the thing has absolutely no scratches. Take a closer look at certain angles and man...you would be surprised the micro scratches you can find...
I still prefer a phone without a screen protector nevertheless.

Just wanted to post that i ordered some realook screen protectors from amazon and they work well with the 4g. They dont have the hole for the FFC so it will cover but to me, the camera doesnt have enough quality to notice. i took pics with the sp on and with the sp off and they look the same to me. Great sp and barely notice it is there.

Zagg created a set of covers for this (that are apparently slightly different than the T959 versions) last week. They are supposed to ship this week. The name they gave it is:

I have not tried them on this phone, but am very happy with them on my wife's iPhone.
You may also want to try ProtectionFilms24 -- I have used them on my N900 and digital cameras with great success. Delivery to the US was generally within a week.

I just got some antiglares(not T-Mobile) and they are great. They apply easily and really reduce glare. The only problem is that they have a slight prism effect where you can see like tiny different colored crystals when the screen displays white or any semi bright color. Do any of the highend antiglares do that? I don't really mind the look but it sometimes really lowers the resolution of the screen.

Its scratch resistant yes, not scratch proof. However, I'll take my chances because I hate screen protectors.
Additionally, I had a G1 and never got a scratch on the screen either... but again it just depends on the situation.
hmmm
can anyone recommend one on ebay
If anyone is looking for a screen protector, check out best skins ever. They really are the best. I've tried zagg (gummy feel didn't like) tmobile (sucks) and a lot of ebay ones. The best skins ever screen protector doesn't attract fingerprints and grease at all and feels great. I honestly wouldn't notice it if I didn't put it on myself. I've put their protectors on all my devices. Best of all it's under 10 bucks! 6.99 for the front and 8.99 for the front and back. This isn't an ad if it sounds like one at all.. I'm just really happy with them.
I have the Zagg on my SGS4G but i prefer the Ghost Armour stuff myself. They just don't have any kiosks down here for me to get it.
And i don't trust myself to put them on plus if the place does it you get a lifetime warranty. So if it scratches or whatever they replace the SCREEN PROTECTOR. I had to be explained that they don't cover the device haha!
personally, i've always used zagg. i think that they do the job well. you have to wipe it down at least once a week because of the greasy buildup from your fingers, but to be honest, that it not really a problem. i have yet to scratch my screen and my phone has been through a lot. i would recommend zagg to anyone. the lifetime warranty is great and the fact that it is removable is even better. back when i used it for the vibrant, i just removed it and replaced it on the new one (i kept getting replacement phones because of GPS issues...even with the gps recovery app). if i stretched it or messed it up while moving to a new device, they replaced it no questions asked.
should I just get the screen protector from AT&T store?
Go naked, All the cool kids are doing it.....
i bought the iVisor from the store. works great on fingerprints & glare, but kinda dulls the screen. definite loss of clarity.
took it off at lunch today w/ the plan to return it...
then put it back on, and don't mind it as much.
dunno.
I got it and I can definitely agree with argylesocks on the clarity issue. To me though, losing a bit of clarity in favor of anti-glare doesn't bother me so I'd recommend that if you don't mind losing a little bit of clarity then grab the one from the ATT store.
i got the ivisor after i ntices a micro scratch on my screen. garilla glass is hard to scratch but i work around stuff that can cut hardened tool steel. occasionally something winds up in my pocket.
the ivisor is one of the better antiglare protectors i have seen but in general antiglare will effect the screen image. well it is a trade off. some can deal with it and some cant. there are many that are worse than this one. i would recomend it to anyone that wants a anti glare protector.

that dont mean it cant be scratched. i never scratched my captivate and i had it since august, but i did get a micro scratch on the infuse already, just got unlucky. it is barely visable but i know it is there. garilla glass vs hss and carbide doesnt help much. most people wont need a protector though
I went ahead and got the screen protector they had at at&t when I get my Infuse, in fact it was given to me free of charge because I switched from T-Mobile. I was going to get the invisible shield but this was much more convenient and free. And besides, I just like that piece of mind that I know my screen won't get scratched even though it has gorilla glass.

As far as I know, Gorilla Glass is actually more brittle than regular glass and is easier to crack.. It's just more scratch resistant.

not true. it may crack with some stress risers(scratches in particular areas) but it is difficult to crack, though im sure some forms of plastic are more crack resistant.
it may be hard and you may think that makes it brittle but it actually has a huge amount of give before it breaks.

if you break it you might just be unlucky
I'm using the iVisor screen protector, mostly to help my fingers glide over the touchscreen surface smoothly. It works well for that purpose and doesn't dull the image too much. Fingerprints are far less noticeable too. Dust does get trapped at the edges of the screen protector though. Still, it's worth using IMO.

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.

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 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...

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.

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

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.
