I had to get a replacement RAZR today i know they're suppose to have gorilla glass and all but I'm wondering how many people are going without one and how strong is the glass. I don't want to buy another pack of protectors

Naked screen, here. It's always more fun to roll unprotected. :icon_ devil:

It depends on how you carry your phone. If you put the phone in your pocket then it will get scratches gorilla glass or not. If you have a pouch or some sort of case then you can probably get away without using a screen protector if you're careful. Gorilla glass is not shatter proof, scratch proof or user proof, just more resistant to the same.

I've carried my OG Droid, my Dell streak 7 (back pocket), and now my RAZR in my pocket with my keys. I don't let the keys on the screen side. No scratches to any of my screens so far with years of cumulative use. Some of us might just be a little more careful than others (now I'm going to jinx it).

I envy you. If I tried to do that, with my luck, I wouldn't be able to read anything from my display in about a week...mind would look like it had been through a sand blaster.

Of course, my wife's OG Droid looked like it had been through a war and she's also managed to scratch the screen on her Galaxy Tab (it had only been out of the Otterbox for a week!).

I noticed that the Verizon screen protectors make our screens look very grainy. I took mine off. X2 with carrying it in your pocket with nothing else in that pocket.

I used a screen protector for maybe the first week I had my dx2. Once I learned what exactly gorilla glass was I did away with it and haven't had a protector since. While gorilla glass isn't indestructable it sure is tough.

Current Phone Model
Note 8!!
I've always been a naked type... I am fidgety type person. I peel the labels off anything I can get my lil fingers on!! Me and a screen protector would not work very well.

I peeled the stickers off the monitor in my doctors office... I'm tellin ya its a sickness!!

I went ahead and got a ZAGG Invisisheild for my MAXX. I carry my phone in my front pocket and felt like I took good care of my phone that way, but after careful examination (of my X2) I did see very fine scratches. Didn't want to do that to this phone seeing how much I paid for it. Also got the silicone case from the VZW store. I like it as well. Easy to remove for when I use the phone in the car holder (though it will work with the case on, it's just a bit of a struggle).

I've been very happy with the SGP screen protectors on my Razr. I'm kind of O.C., so I like to run sanitizing wipes over my screen frequently. Since they're alcohol based, doing this on a naked screen isn't a good idea.

Hello everyone,

I've actually noticed that the device's screen is somewhat susceptible to scratches. I've just purchased a screen protector from Amazon called armorsuit a couple of days ago. It's been thus far extremely solid with self-healing capabilities. I personally like the added protection but has anyone else tried this or another protector? I value my device too much for even a few scratches.
