My Touch just arrived and I have a case (Griffin Reflect) and screen protectors I bought at the Apple store, but I'm wondering if the plastic coating that's already on the Touch can be left as a scratch protector? Not the outer clear plastic that unwraps, but the sheet that is "stuck" to the screen, or would it be best to remove it and put the store bought protector on?

And on a side note, I've not seen the John Lennon box before and like it much better than the other two.

Thanks. 😀

I have my Touch in my pocket with no protection all the time, sometimes when I forget keys join it. It has no scratches on the screen at all.

Honestly, I figure it'd take a lot to actually dent it or scratch it, etc. I'm just one of those paranoid people with their electronics, I treat them more gently than is necessary. Thanks. 😛

In the past I've had poor luck putting screen protectors on things, but I took my time and smoothed it on with a credit card and it went on like a charm! Thanks for the advice!
