Our ipad 2 has no screen protector and we've had it since it first came out-no scratches on the screen however we learned our lesson that we need a case for our iPads when the youngest was using the Starwars light saber app on the ipad at Walmart while sitting in the shopping cart. now it has a 2small dents on the side:/
Both of our ipad minis have a griffin survivor case(so what happened to our ipad 2 doesn't happen again and if you ask me, the griffin survivor case looks nice) and it has a built in screen protectors so that is a plus!

Better safe than sorry... I use iSmooth... 10 bucks no bubbles. Zagg has the worst protectors in the history of mankind- wet application, flimsy, full of bubbles and expensive at $35.
Am uesing. Outter box for my ipad. Air it is replacing the vary cheap apple ipad air Smart Cover $80 for ipad air Smart Cover is a big joke Sould be no. More the $50! I got the outter box and it we'll worth $89.00 + tax Apple Smart Cover is not worth $80
I use one. I'd like to think that it won't get scratched, but you never know. Plus, I have a couple of apps that are games for my cats. Don't want to take any chances with their nails.
I used to swear by screen protectors - especially for my iPhone, but after taking it off to replace one, I decided to leave it off, and sure enough, nearly five months later, not a single scratch on my iPhone. So, when I got my rMini, all I did was buy the smart case and that was that. My screen is perfectly clear and scratch free, no need for a plastic film to distort the screen. Besides, it's usually always home anyway - hardly leaves the house with me.
I use Ghost Armor. Gave one of our iPad 1s to the grandkids (donated the other to the local children's hospital). They used it until we upgraded again. We took it to Target the Christmas for the $200 gift card. Took the Ghost Armor off and the Ghost Armor screen protector was really scratched up. And they are really hard to scratch! Can't imagine what the screen would have looked like without one.
I love Ghost Armor, no screen degradation (I compared my new air to my husbands 3), feels just as good as the naked screen, no orange peel. I don't have to worry if my grandkids want to use it, don't worry if I lay it on the table or sofa and the cat walks on it (which he does).
As far as I'm concerned I wouldn't be without one. I know a scratch on the screen would bother me and this way I don't have to baby my device. I actually put the full body wrap on and frankly I can just put it down anywhere without concern.
I do use a case for travel, mostly for the integrated stand.

I haven't needed my car's seatbelt for years, but still wear it.My dry application screen protector is invisible, and allows me not to worry. It can be peeled off in seconds, but scratches can't. Zagg protectors are another story, and those are not invisible.....
It is also illegal to drive the car without it and can't work any way around that ( legally speaking ) so your point is moot
I use my naked and nothing so far
Try looking on your screens under very bright light. You will probably find a couple of tiny scratches if your devices aren't brand new.
Yes! Tell me more about Tony! We have so much in common!

I have 3 cats. What games are there for them on the ipad? Can you tell their names please?
I use a clear screen protector on my iPad 4 from, wait for it, Poundland in Glasgow. Costs, yes, £1. I have always bought my iPhone and iPad screen protector from there and they're not the usual cheap ones that scratch when you wipe them. I apply them with zero bubbles and you wouldn't even know one was on there. Crystal clear screen clarity. Better to be safe than sorry.
My previous iPad, the iPad 3, didn't have a screen protector, only a Smart Cover. In normal lighting it looked flawless, until one morning in work the angle I was sitting at allowed direct sunlight to bounce off the screen and I noticed lots of micro scratches all over the screen. And once you know they are there ...

Love these posts.
Want to stay on Mac Rumours forum but becoming very, very difficult.
See what I did there? I also made a random post. haha...
How about some kind of live chat part of the site where these types of questions can be posted / replied in real time?
Yep! It's called "games for cats" or something like that. Has different creatures (mouse, spider, fish, & butterfly) that run across the screen and then leave the screen. If the cats paw at them they stop and make a sound. It's pretty funny to see my cats try to figure it all out.

The app I have is called "Catch and Paint Games for Cats". You can also just search for games for cats in the app store. There are other ones.
