Nope. No need for screen protectors on glass screens anyway unless you don't take care of your $800 devices.

You can still get scratches even if you take care of it, just from daily use. Id rather have a screen protector still. Plus no gorilla class.

I HATE screen protectors, but I just got my first glass scratch I've had ever. I don't even know how I did it, but my Skyrocket has a 1" scratch at the bottom of the screen. You can't feel it, and you can't see it with the screen on, but with the screen off and the right lighting you can see it. Annoys me a little (that it happened) but its the risk you take
im pretty sure the skyrocket does have gorilla glass
No the skyrocket has no gorilla glass

The Skyrocket DOES have gorilla glass. Cornings website and the Samsung FAQ both state this. Also Google it, Google knows everything.

Is not the SR just an Americanized LTE SGS II?
Isn't the SGS II the last device on that list?
I'm sick of this gorilla glass argument LOL contact Samsung they will tell you that the skyrocket uses a scratch resistant screen but not gorilla glass if you go through the threads and search this topic has been squashed so many times I've lost count. So the high and mighty attitude drop it.

The entire Galaxy S & Galaxy S 2 lines are supposed to have Gorilla Glass. Any sibling phone included. (SG2 and SG2 LTE and so on...)
BTW: Nothing is scratch proof. Not Gorilla Glass, invisibleSHIELD, or any other screen protector. You still must take care of your device, and accidents happen.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/samsung
I think the reason you don't get it from Samsung support is because they are scripted to use whatever is in front of them. If you look at the spec sheet for the Skyrocket you won't see the actual processor. I bet if you called and asked what processor it had in it all you would get is "1.5 GHz dual-core processor".
To Answer the OP: Get it replaced http://www.zagg.com/support/register/replacement_process.php

Thank you. That's the point I was trying to convey in my previous reply and had no intent to be hi nor mighty.
As you stated the Galaxy S II is the base model. It's a logical thought that the child version from the base would maintain the same base features while adding specific tweaks to that revision of the device.
As referenced in this link with the original Galaxy S (Dubbed i9000, Vibrant, and Captivate) was released in three variants but all had the same basic design structure.
Wasn't trying to start a pissing match.. It is surprising some times how XDA conversations degrade amazingly fast to that point.
I googled and found sites for and against so who knows.

Same here, desire hd screen is still in good nick. Also i use my leather pouch that came with my HD2 two years ago , sold the phone but kept the pouch, i knew it would come in handy one day and the sensation fits in it so nicely.
This phone is so beautiful, it'd be a shame to cover it in screen protectors or cases
i still have the stock protector on..lol. waiting for tmo to have theres

I have the HTC protector from T-Mobile. Pain in the butt to put on and work out the bubbles. Looks ok, but scratches easily. Oh well, better it than the screen.

Is a screen protector even necessary?
I was at the T-Mobile store last week, looking at a G2X. I've been shopping there for years, and the manager knows I root and everything, and that I want the best phones when they're out. He also knows I'm hard on my phones, so he demonstrates the G2X's gorilla glass by bashing his keys into it. Nothing happens. He smashes the keys into the screen of the phone, beats the hell out of it, digs them in, everything, and nothing, not a scratch. Then, he latter goes "ooh, ooh, let me show you this cool phone we have in back" and he pulls a Sensation out of the back. I instantly fall in love. Thing is, I really am hard on the phones, and the gorilla glass would be a great benefit for me, as I've broken a few screen before now. I asked him if it had gorilla glass as well, he said he didn't know.
So, I went home, and looked online, and everywhere I go it says it does have gorilla glass.
My question is, after that long rambling rant, if these phones really do have gorilla glass, why bother with a screen protector?

I guess it's the extra care you want to put into the phone. I personally don't want to put a screen protector on but I have been placing them on my phones for the past 4 years. I don't want to take any chances lol
gorilla glass/sensational screen
while i think the GG definitely provides added protection, i would never advise being reckless like that. the one thing i did want to say which i havent seen anyone post yet was how clean the screen stays. i have had the phone since 6/12 and havent used a micro cloth once. while using outside i definitely noticed some streaks due to warmer temps and sweatier fingers, but they literally have disappeared. has anyone else noticed this? incredible self cleansing screen or dumb luck? ill take it as an added bonus. the phones getting better every day.
But if it has gorilla glass, you really aren't taking any chances. Have you seen this stuff?

GG isn't scratch proof, it's scratch resistant. I bet this same scratch on a non GG device would have been awful or maybe even cracked the screen.
OP - the only thing I know of to do is get a good screen protector. A lot of times the screen protector will make the scratch really hard to see.

Displex worked fine for me many years ago on an old SE. Not sure with the new touch screens. And presumably gorilla glass, if indeed harder to scratch, will be hard to polish out any scratches.
If anyone has the misfortune to trash their Sensation may be they will do a little test on the screen with toothpaste and Displex?

you could always try the little kit that you can buy that repairs chips in a cars windscreen.. its basically a resin that fills in the chip in a windscreen to virtually nothing and for a scratch it may fill the hole and leave just a small remnant of the scratch... this is basically because you obviously see through a windscreen and it works well for that application...
failing that as others have said you will have to suck it up or find a replacement screen on ebay and put a screen protector on it.. i seen a replacement screen for $50 on ebay and if the scratch is that bad maybe thats another option

I really like the Zagg invisible shield. Some people whine about the orange peel effect, but you cant even feel it. Sure, it adds some minor friction but only if you are pressing down hard, which you shouldnt be doing anyways. The phone can register light touches.
I think it works better than other protectors when it comes to scratch protection because its thicker and actually prevents scratches,where your average thin film of plastic just keeps dust away

i would recommend the ivisor ag from moshi. i sell these in my store all day. they're 100% bubble free so anyone can remove and reapply at any time and there will still be absolutely no bubbles plus you can wash it what???? so sick...
the good thing about the invisible shield from zagg @ best buy (or where ever) is that is life time warranty but have you seen the process of that??? you have to send the screen protector back to them and pay for another one then they refund you later on. can you say ridiculous!!!
I bought screen protectors from Amazon.com 20 cents each... , Excellent, Very nice premium quality.

What better way to start a 12 hour shift than dropping your phone a couple of inches only to have it land on the one spot the case isn't protecting. Now the left side of the tough as nails gorilla glass looks like my first generation iPhone did after I had thrown it out of a moving vehicle.
As much as I love my infuse I think after staring at the crack for 12 hours ill be lucky if I remember to pull my SD card out before it has the same fate. So come first pay check galaxy S2 Skyrocket or swtich to Verizon for the nexus.
Random question anyone know if the att unlimited 4g that I have now will still be unlimited if I change to LTE?

I have no issue with the 5mp camera or 1ghz processor nor the pentile matrix display, I turn the MP down on all my phones to save space. no phone can take good 8mp pics. the iPhone 4s may take better 8mp pics but better than bad doesn't mean good. hell I'd like to have a nexus1 just cuz I like the illuminated track ball and poketable size.

I have to agree with your sentiment, as the manufacturing industry in my country (Australia) has suffered significantly over the past few decades, due to the outsourcing of manufacturing needs to Asia. While we have to accept that it is way more feasible to make certain products in other countries due to the manufacturing costs, it's important to support the skilled manufacturing sectors in our home countries. I really like that the Nexus Q is made in the USA, and I think many americans will too!!
I'm still not sure on whether I think the Nexus Q itself is a viable device, but I can see a place in the market for premium made-in-USA Nexus phone. However I think it would be best if Google avoids manufacturing phones itself, as I think it would weaken the position of the other phone manufacturers as Android partners.

Obviously, you haven't seen the new drop tests between the One X, S3, and iPhone 4S.
Even the iPhone did better than the S3, so that is the reason why I'm not going to buy an S3 (despite it being near perfect in any other way).
In reply to this thread, I still think we should have the 5 Nexii (and maybe a 6th from Google?)

Obviously, you haven't seen the new drop tests between the One X, S3, and iPhone 4S.
Even the iPhone did better than the S3, so that is the reason why I'm not going to buy an S3 (despite it being near perfect in any other way).
In reply to this thread, I still think we should have the 5 Nexii (and maybe a 6th from Google?)

You mean non recyclable plastic is better than glass or metal that can be recycled?

Yes, but he was talking about "non recyclable plastic" as opposed to metal and glass, so obviously he's talking about literal recycling. He meant it in a way that samsungs products are crap because they are made of non recyclable plastic.... :what: wut

Im with ya, I would rather give my phone away or sell it for parts on ebay, than throw it in the trash or recycle it.
