Screen protector

[MysticalDreams]

I am terrible with anything that can be pulled or pealed off (I fidget wayyyyyyyyy too much) but what I have seen on my husbands phones, the screen protector gets way more fingerprints, isn't as responsive (or that might be in my head) and the screen protector gets scratches on it with junk that wouldn't scratch the glass...

Maybe I'm just immune to the screen protector being there.

I've had a screen protector on my Moto Droid I since the say I bought it. I was in a bad 'big-truck' wreck a couple years ago and my Droid somehow ended up wedged in the headliner once the cab came to a sliding hault - on its roof. I had a Body Glove on it too. Trashed the Body Glove and scratched the heck out of my screen protector. :crying:

Now I'm just paranoid that I'll somehow scratch the screen on my new (to be picked up in two days) Razr Maxx. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around not needing some sort of screen protection.

Oh, and Body Glove sent me two new cases free after hearing of my situation. I put a new protector on and it's been on it ever since.

amazing story... glad you came out of it OK too. If you are use to screen protectors and it will give you an added bit of peace of mind go for it... :icon_ lala:

Two kinds of people in the world; those who like screen protectors and those who hate them. I'm in the latter group. But having said that, it's important to know what Gorilla Glass does for you and what it doesn't. It DOES provide excellent protection against scratches, minor abrasions, and to a large extent "pitting" of the screen. It does NOT provide a "shatterproof" screen. Gorilla Glass will shatter if subjected to a point-specific drop, usually on the corner of the device. So, to the extent that a screen protector lessens that risk (not much compared to a case), a screen protector may be worth the investment. Personally, I don't think it is, especially considering the effect on my blood pressure to put it on, keep it on, and clean it.

What exactly is gorilla glass!

It's a special type of glass built by Corning that is much stronger than normal glass.

The Droid 1 had it. After over two years of heavy use, my Droid 1's case is pretty scratched up. But my Droid 1's screen looks brand new. Gorilla Glass is awesome. All glass screens are very resistant to scratches but Gorilla glass even more so.

It is not invulnerable, but it would take a lot to scratch it. Here's a video demo of it:

Check out that last text with the ball bearings (Time index 1:20) especially. Keep in mind, that video is old...the current generation used in the Razr and Spectrum is even better than that.

I got mines off Amazon, it was called ArmorSuit. If you aren't into the installation process that requires solution...this probably isn't for you! Though, imho, I really like the outcome of this product! Also, the sensitivity of my screen hasn't changed!

Just my opinions!
