The screen is gorilla glass - no need for screen protectors.

This is lie, GorillaGlass is scratchable (is this word right? ) too..

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.
Same here, screen film also doesn't fit.

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 have this SPIGEN SGP Galaxy S4 Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM Premium Tempered Glass from 10th of September 2013 on my phone.
I loved it until about a month ago for no apparent reason it started developing this bubble under the glass in the top right corner (see pictures).
I didn't drop the phone nor tried to lift the screen protector since I put it on. At first it was smaller but it keeps getting bigger little by little.
I tried squeezing on it, to get it to stick back or push out air bubble with significant force to no avail. I take good care of my gadgets keep them in cases and clean so they look like new, so this thing annoys me a lot
Anyone knows why this would happen?
That's just what happens with glass screen protectors sometimes. My iloome did it for my iPhone 5 and now my S4 as well. My friends bought Chinese glass screen protectors and it did it for them on their S4. My seidio vitreo did it on my iPad 3. Though my iloome on my iPod is fine, and it's been there for a while. And my mime protector on my iPad mini is fine for now. So it's really hit and miss in my opinion. Hear the thin ones (spigen nano, iloome flex, mime feather) have a slimmer chance of this happening though.

It happens when force is applied to the edge of the phone/screen protector.
I found that it doesn't take much to cause the glass sp to lift up.
In my particular case, the lip of my case would apply just enough to lift top left corner of my glass sp.

It's a shame I really like this glass screen protector but now it looks ugly, I guess next time I'll go for slimmer version.
But still something had to cause this because it was OK for four months. And as I said I take care of my phone, never dropped it sat on it etc.
So it's bit strange why it would do that.

All the time I used Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my phone so it's designed by the same company and doesn't touch the glass.
I just recently purchase Case Mate barely there case that you see in the pictures which doesn't touch the glass either.
This has happened to me with every tempered glass product I've used from Spigen. And it happened relatively soon too; within the first few days of use. I can't see it being an issue with my screen being improperly prepared either, as I am very meticulous when it comes to screen protectors.
I absolutely love their cases and plastic screen protectors but I can no longer justify spending $30+ on their tempered glass.
Decided to go with Iloome Flex and I have been having much better luck so far. Over 60 days use and still no issues.
Here's a couple pictures of the Iloome Flex just for comparison http://i.imgur.com/LvG0JMr.jpg
Just wondered what the best way is to clean these without ruining the oleophobic coating? Thanks

Hi S5 users:
Anyone using Galaxy S5 without any screen protector. I am interested to know whether using S5 without a screen protector cause any damage to screen or not. Since it's gorilla glass 3.

I am using it without case & without screen protector, I may buy a case but a big no to screen protector.
I did the same with S3 and it was awesome, no scratch, nothing.
I always feel using a screen protector delays the touch response a tiny bit & why do that...
I stopped using screen protectors once they started using Gorilla Glass and have never had a problem.
After using the S2 for over two years, the screen had some minor scratches (only noticeable in certain light).
So far my S5 is holding up pretty good - I see one little scratch, but not enough to warrant getting a screen protector. I may put one on, but I'm still undecided.
I'm using all the time since s3, when after few days I discovered few small scratches. Always is beter change screen protector then replace amoled display
My S4 was in my shirt pocket. I dropped a (actual glass) cup and when I bent over to pick it up the device fell out of my pocket, in what seemed as slow motion, and the edge of the device landed on the edge of the cup and shattered the screen. Since then I always go to BB and for $39 I get a "glass" screen cover. You cant see it and it picks up fingerprints less than your ordinary screen cover.
I'm only using a basic cover on mine and no screen protector. I've never really found a screen protector necessary.

No screen protector here. Had a galaxy s3 for three years, no screen protector and no scratches or damage at all, dropped it a few times as well. I am not sure if a screen protector would help in a situation like the dropped phone above?

It's great to not use one until you get that one scratch on the screen, especially if it is deep and obvious then you will regret it! It really does not matter how careful you are with it, it just takes that one contact with the wrong object and...damn!
For the sake of a few dollars I would advise using one!
Personally i wanted to use screen protector but with the s5 i like to wash my device to make it clean so to those Who has screen protector on would u please tell me if the screen protector still in good condition after the device meets water?
If yes could u please tell me which one cos im going to buy
Thx!

Used to be an otterbox defender guy and now i'm using the phone naked. I just make sure i'm extra careful. I always put the screen facing my leg in my pocket
So far i'm not using a screen proctector with the S5.
I have spigen tough armor case so the phone never sits ont the screen or on the photo sensor.
The S5 has some treatment against smudge and fingerprint trace!!
i bought a screen protector, i was using my galaxy s5 without one. unfortunately i put my keys in the same pocket as my s5 and caused quite a few scratches.
good thing tmobile replaced it though, i dont think i would go without a screen protector even if it has gorilla glass.

I used http://mimeusa.com/ on my HTC One, still have it in-fact, and it works perfectly, had one on my wife's iPhone 5 as well. Gotten it wet several times riding my motorcycle in the rain. I just ordered the feather version for my S5. Cheaper than a new screen and it's got a lifetime guarantee. My HTC fell out of my pocket and hit perfectly on the corner against a concrete floor, broke the mime glass, sent them an email requesting a replacement and they sent me a 40% off replacement coupon. Very easy to install as well. Love their product.

Ill be grabbing the Oleophobic from Steinheil. Best there is.
Is tempered glass worth it anyone?
I dropped my HTC Aria on the screen, replaced it myself, then dropped it again.. I ended up upgrading to a Galaxy Note, but decided to be smart about it.
I got an Otterbox Commuter series with screen protector, and loved it. I even showed it off to my friends. Lol.
Now with my S5, I got my Otterbox and screwed up the screen protector, so I'm using it without a screen protector until my spigen screen protector comes in. It's a shame Otterbox doesn't sell replacement screen protectors for the S5 yet... Only a few more sleepless nights left though...
Never used a screen protector and has held up just great.
Hate screen protectors.. I mean really. there are people out there with 50 thousand dollar watches, they don't use them. Maybe I'm just lucky(im gonna get a huge gash now, lol) but these screens seem strong!
2 weeks so far without screen protector or case. I bought both in store on release day but since discovered Samsung stated not to use a screen protector as it impacts the sensors.
Curious of people's thoughts given the inclusion of gorilla glass 4 which is supposed to be pretty good. If you are going to use one, standard or going to thicken it up with tempered glass?
I don't put them on with phones using a curved display, in this case 2.5d or whatever they're calling it. I don't like when the tempered glass doesn't cover the entire screen. I'll just be using one of the clear spigen cases
Already ordered a $4 tempered glass protector on Amazon and should have it here by Tuesday.
I prefer glass since it feels better than the plastic protectors but thats just my opinion. It's either you protect with a case and some form of screen protector, or you don't at all.
I haven't tried a screen protector since my droid incredible and even took that one off. I get phone about every 6 months and have never used them. No scratches visible to naked eye on any. Doesn't mean they're not needed at all, just not for my uses or wifes
Nope. Never had, never will. No screen protector, no case. I'm just careful with my stuff.

youre just like my dad, i don't know how he has kept his iphone 5 and currently 6, in perfect condition w/o any protector or case
I've got an S3 in perfect condition without a screen protector. I won't be getting one for the S6 either but I WILL be purchasing a warranty plan from Samsung.. just in case.
i never installed one on my S3 and sold it after having it for a year without a single scratch,. i have an S4 now for the past 2 years, no protector and screen is still flawless as if it came out of the box.. so my S6 won't have one either.
My Nexus 5 shattered pretty easily, so I'll be using a tempered glass screen protector
I'll be ordering this.
Had my current device (at least the one I've kept) with nothing but the paltry Gorilla Glass 2 on it for over two years now. Screen remains in immaculate condition.
No screen protector for me.

be careful, some verified purchased reviews have been posted... not good. i would wait to see if they improve their design bc their first iteration seems to suck
There are two versions of it. The dry one is the one in the link and it doesnt cover edges of the S6 edge. There is a wet application version which covers the edges.

K, thanx for the heads-up.
Yes. It wouldn't hurt to have a screen protector on your phone. It's added protection. Here's what I've found on Amazon. It's currently on sale for $1.95, pretty cheap yet high quality screen protectors. Check this out.

i work construction, phone is in my pocket all day. i use my legs to help pick things up and push so im real interested in this temp. glass
never bother with a screen protector with any of my phones with gorilla glass. Even though gorilla glass still scratches none were noticeable with the screen on. The feel and clarity of a naked screen is so much better than any screen protector including temp glass ones. I would only consider a temper glass screen protector if im not using a case but i rather have a bulk of a case than having to use a screen protector.
Yes, Spigen as always!

^^what he said^^
I literally never ever drop my phones and can usually keep my phones scratch/ding free, even on the screen.
at most i'll buy a phantom skin/invisihield to use on the back of the phone when i lay it on a surface, but the screen always stays uncovered.
I ordered a screen protector yesterday for $1.99. It'll be more than sufficient until some of the glass ones are refined and are perfect.

So far I have always used otter box cases on all my phones because I like the extra protection of the screen cover. I do notice that when I take the phone out of the case the screen is more vibrant. I am wondering now if my next case for the 6p would be better without the cover over the summer screen. If I decided to go in that direction do you guys think a tempered glass screen protector would be a good strong option to protect my screen?

Anything you put over a screen will reduce brightness, and other screen features. How much is the question.
Fwiw - I've never used a case on any device I've owned. Manufacturers go to great lengths to design a beautiful device, l wouldn't want those design features destroyed with a case.
Just be careful with it and there's no need for extra protection - simple.

Tempered glass is always stronger than the cheap film that otter box uses so its worth getting over the terrible 'film' built into their cases

Tempered glass usually has 99%+ optical clarity so you wo t notice any different when using a good one. GG4 can still easily get scratched, its glass and is not perfect which is why I prefer using a TGSP. If I drop my phone at least it will help protect my screen from breaking. I've broken a TGSP on my G3 and I thought my screen was destroyed, but when I removed the cracked glass screen protector my phone was 100% fine. I will always use tempered glass if it's available for that reason
My galaxy s5 is the first phone that I've put a TGSP on, and I always will from now on. I used to use zagg, but it left the screen feeling very sticky. The glass is awesome, and saved my wife's note 3 screen from a drop. I don't even notice it's there, and it installs much easier than the other protectors too (no bubbles!)
