Having a screen protector on my iphone 4 just seems to be ''safer''. Even though people say yeah yeah it wont get scratched, just to be safe, maybe im over-protective, but ive had my iphone4 for about 3 months, and it still got protective screen on front and back, plus a solid $50 hard case. Is in EXCELLENT and PRESTIGOUS condition.

Nobody puts a screen protector on to stop scratches, its so you don’t have to friggin’ wipe your fingerprints off the screen every 5 seconds. Why can’t apple make a screen that doesn’t smudge?

I think you meant to say “But Apple’s doing a great service to customers with this move, even if that’s not what motivated it to begin with.”

If you are going to spew bull$#!+ disguised as an informative article, at least use proper grammar.

Same people who buy screen protectors leave the plastic covering on their lamp shades, and give money to TV evangelist.

iPhone 3G going on almost 2 years, kept in pocket, screen still look pristine. Now the fucked up pixels are a whole nother story!

I love my privacy filter, it both allows me protection for my screen and also allows me to keep prying eyes from whatever it is I’M doing on MY phone, the next step is to find a non-glare one, until then I will keep purchasing them. Ive scratched my screen once…..THAT WAS ENOUGH!!!!!

why would anyone try to use your iphone? with your ear grease on it, i guess thats the only time i would consider using the ugly thing, to protect it from your filth.

Ive went thru 3 iphones, the 1st 2 had glitches and messed up, but this 3rd one is perfect, ive never had a scratch proof screen on my iphone and im almost to the end of my 2 year contract. I went thru the 2 that messed up within the beginning 3 months. So ive had my thrid iphone almost the full 2 years. I am proud to say i dont have any scratches on my iphone (: Although i keep a Skull Candy case on the back to keep scratches off the back.

here is what I KNOW:

My company, Worth Ave Group, had a booth at MacWorld. (well sell iPhone insurance).

At that booth, we had a few laptops, a blackberry, an iphone, and an ipod touch.

The iPod Touch had a screen cover on it.

We brought a hammer and let people bash the crap out of all of the items, which broke into billions of pieces…all except the iPod Touch.

The iPod Touch, with it’s screen protector, took probably 80 hits with a hammer and it did not break. Not even a crack! We’re talking direct hammer swings hard enough to shatter everything to bits.

Some little kid came up and peeled off the screen cover.

One hit…ONE without the screen cover and the iPod Touch cracked like an egg.

It was obvious proof, to me at least, that screen covers not only work, but make all the difference in the world. From someone who has lost an iphone to a cracked screen dropping it onto the pavement 3 feet below while getting out of my truck, this was all the evidence I needed to see.

So you can go “naked” if you want. But you’d better have our insurance!

Protector screens are usefull and helps in case of accidental splash of liquid so I would highly recommend them. Found some iphone accessories on http://www.etalksystem.com.
