Does the N5 come with a basic, from-factory film to protect the screen? If so, does it have random markings on it like the N4 did (example: volume). I would like to keep it on as long as possible before 3rd party screen protectors come on, but have yet to find any legitimate protectors yet.
It has nexus 5 right across the middle of it

Says "nexus5" on it, right in the middle, but it's fine to keep on till you get your screen protector. I've left my own on, don't even have a Sim in there though so not even using it!! it's just sitting here.
Never used a screen protector on my phones. Main issue is dropping the phone and cracking the screen.

Does Google collude with the screen protector industry for this?!
UGH. I know it has G3 glass, but I don't trust anything! Better safe than sorry.
Dang. I was banking on a basic screen protector on there. Phone will be here tomorrow. Case Wednesday. Guess I could cut up my extra tablet protector...

if its an app that you have downloaded then keep your finger pressed on it until it gives you some options. Delete will be one of them or you could download an apps uninstaller.
Sorry should have mentioned it was a screen protector.

place a piece of tape onto the screen protector, make sure a bit of it does not stick to it, pull it upwards and the screen protector should lift of.
Do it near the edge, but have the tape go towards center of screen.
Hey which steinheil do u have? Can u tell me if its good? Why do u want to remove it? Does it left many fingerprints on it and are they easy to remove? Is there a rainbow effect when it gets wet or fatty?
Im thinking about buying one too.

Hi,
So far so good. I rushed putting this one on and it is not straight! It is great though, but does get the rainbow from my fingers sometimes. A quick wipe on my short and I'm good to go.

I find that with protectors that have been in a while I need to pull away and up to get the tape method to work.
Freshly put on ones come up easily though.

If you're using a cheap thin protector, the sgp's are a good upgrade.
There are plenty of reviews in these forums ans youtube though!
I have the Ultra Clear, and you get the occasional rainbow and fingerprint. It's much less than the cheaper ones I've had before though.
A quick wipe gets rid of most prints too. Unlike one protector I had that would just smudge them around the screen.

Yeah exactly, that's the reason I dumped Invisible Shield. That's why I get the cheapest ones from China. No gimmick to em, they're just clear plastic sheets that fits perfectly, so that I don't lose the quality of the IPS.
Why even use a screen protector? It makes sense if you're working in a very dusty or greasy environment, or if you walk around with rocks or screws in your pockets. Aside from that, I see no reason for it.

I agree. I think they're more of a hindrance than a benefit. I've tried some before and never found one that didn't degrade the screen clarity.

My phone was just knocked off a coffee table onto a rug...
Must have met up with a grain of sand. I'm going to see that every time I look at the phone now...
Lesson learned? Use screen protector, even if you hate the rubbery feel
(tried my best to get a picture of it... pretty difficult to focus on)
I work in general construction. Meaning, dirt and saw dust is constantly flying around. I messed up in not buying a screen protector, and now the screen has a few hair line scratches that are only visible in certain lighting and at certain angles.
I don't really care though, cause I have SquareTrade insurance.
ahhh man i'm sorry . . mines got a few scratches on it which pisses me off everytime i see them, i don't even get how the screen got scratched. but that's just phones nowdays if you don't get a huge otterbox case stuffs gonna go down =/ F an otterbox case tho what's the point of the slimmest phone if we gotta do that?!
I recently dropped my phone as well with a case on, wasn't much help, the screen got chipped. however after examining it further, it seems that the screen has been treated with a gloss or some kind of finish on top of the glass. This may explain the scratching issue. It's really the gloss or finish that's being scratched off.

Annnnnnd theres another smaller knick near the top :'(
So I have been contemplating exchanging this phone for another because the lower plastic rear cover sticks out slightly on one side (was that way out of the box)... and I like my expensive things to be as perfect condition as possible (ironic, right?)
Think this damage to the glass will completely kill my chances of Amazon swapping out the phone?
Idk about amazon but I know T-Mobile wouldn't mention it especially if its not cracked cracked

If you don't like the rubbery feel look up realook screen protectors on amazon you can't even tell they are there had one on my vibrant for 2 years before I got my one s and it still looks ok considering the abuse I put it through. I have one on both my wifes and my one s's and she can't tell it's there either.

I had a Vibrant with Gorilla Glass that lasted 2 years without a screen protector and did not have a scratch on it. I thought my new One S would be the same.
Instead, after only 2 days - never having dropped it and with the phone only residing in my pocket (not the same pocket with my keys and change), my One S somehow got a hairline scratch on the screen.
I have since put a screen protector on it - though I much prefer not having one on it. Every time I see the scratch, I still get annoyed.
My advice to anyone considering buying a One S - before you even leave the store, invest in a screen protector.
Geesh.. makes me wonder if Sony's "scratch resistant" glass is actually any more durable..
I wasn't going to place a protector on my One S... but this changed my mind.
That's why you get a screen protector and a shell case right out of the box. If you are that particular about your expensive phone, it is well worth the extra cash. I got a shell case for mine and a screen protector as soon as I got my one s. Also helps resale value later if you have no scratches on it anyplace. X) I love my phone!

I learned my lesson the hard way too, now I use cheap matt protectors that I buy from Ebay for £3 for 5. Bargain considering my phone is worth nearly £350, thats as long as the screen stays scratch free

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I don't use one, I did on my previous phones. I always hated the way the screen protectors felt compared to the bare glass.
The only scratches I have are from dropping my phone on the street, they are more like little nicks in the screen than
scratches. Now that I already have some, I don't think I'll put a screen protector on. I do have a screen protector that came
with my Otterbox if I feel like putting one on.
I figure that by the time I need a new phone, I'll already have a job and enough money to buy a new phone, so I don't feel like
babying this phone too much.
I've been rockin mine completely naked since release back in may.. hardly any scratches, only noticeable in a well lit area with the screen off at a certain angle. My phone went face first on the cement and slid about 7 inches, and I also dropped mine and I slid across my wood floors and still nothing.
However my buddy has deep scratches that can catch a fingernail. Someone else I know dropped his and the screen cracked from about a foot off the ground..

If you're a girl (which you may be, judging by your picture) you keep your phone in your purse. Purses are dirty and have sand/dirt in them. Sand will scratch your phone.

Only problem with me is I hate to cover up this beautiful screen! It was the main selling point of the phone for me. The way I see it is the screen protector will get scratched too, slaying the gorgeous LCD. It'll preserve the glass, but I'll get a new phone with my upgrade and this one will be passed down to maybe my godchild or someone. Screen protectors are perfect for long term users/others looking for the highest resale value

You should be good as long as you don't put it in your pocket with your keys or anything that can scratch it. Also, remember to lightly get most of the dust off before you wipe off finger prints. That way you won't get any small hairline scratches. If you're careful you should be good without one.

I've always preferred naked.
Having said that I've damaged a few too.
If u want to resell, use a cover for the back and a protector for the screen.
The polycarbonate backing within a few days started to show marking.
The screen has a very feint hairline scratch down the middle, but it hasn't been dropped & I'm very careful with handling it.
I'm yet to find covers or protectors that keep the phone looking good as nude, but if u want it looking good as new u wanna cover it up.

I looked up closest ghost armor retailer and had them install the clear ghost armor on the screen and the black carbon weave armor on the back.
I originally had them put a white one on the back as my X is white, but went back and they changed it to a black one for me at my request. Looks good in white an black.
Cost of two pieces installed was 20 bucks, 5 bucks if I ever need a half replaced for life of phone.

I have never used a screen protector. When I bought my One X I was talked into the Zagg protector from an AT&T employee, It wasn't bad but after it started getting hot here in AZ, I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen protector was slidin around. So I took it off. Havn't bothered to replce it and actualy like it better without.
I have always preferred naked phones.
I have never found a screen protector that doesn't make the phone less responsive or make the screen less crisp.
Looking at your phone wrong can cause the One X screen to scratch. (See the thread in the general section, or just Google One X screen scratch)
Others have recommended the Zagg HD screen protector, but I haven't tried one myself.

Oh, no way... Sorry man. Do you know how you got the scratch? I always used to get a screen protector right away, but after one started peeling off my Galaxy S3, I just took it off and never looked back. It's been over 6 months without a protector and not one scratch. Although, I am careful about where I put it. Our Nexus 5's have Gorilla Glass just like my Galaxy S3 does, so hopefully it will be okay without one. I'm still debating if I should get one. I'm not sure what the best screen protector is for the N5. I still need to order a case for mine too. I just got it yesterday. I'm liking it...

If you're going to get one get a glass screen protector. Those plastic ones no matter how good people say they are don't compare at all to the amazing feeling of glass. Glass screen protectors provide scratch protection, protect screen from cracking, and still feel great. Those plastic ones do none of that well.

Absolutely NO !! on a screen protector...
The main reason is a selfish one....
When I go to sell my Nexus 5 on "Swappa" I don't need the extra competition for selling a "mint device" .
screen protectors are so cheap that i think the real question here is... is there any reason not to get one? I was going to buy one but luckily, the case i bought (spigen) came with one.
There is no value in this Thread...OP, buying a screen protector is on you, either you feel you need it or not.
