Do you guys use a screen protector?

I do but just so my fingers glide easier across the screen. The anti-glare from Power Support USA is the best. I'm using a Zagg anti-glare and it's good but not as good as the one from PS.

+1 on both accounts. But also preserving my screen for resale value. I had a screen protector put on at the store when I bought it.
 
I've been thinking about buying the Zagg HD, but I've been back and forth about it. I didn't get one on my 4 or 4S, but the 4S got a small scratch on it so I'm afraid for the 5.
 
Never used a screen protector and have had every iPhone since the 3G.
They live in my pockets with change and keys and I've never suffered any more than slight miniature marks to the screen which are only noticeable with extreme scrutiny.
 
No. Hate the feel of plastic on my fingers. The glass feels so much better. Didn't have one on my 4 for two yrs. No scratches on the screen but a few hairline ones on the bezel that could only be seen by inspecting the phone close up.

I Have tried Zagg glossy HD and the anti glare. I'm thinking should I just go without one? How are you all keeping your screen?

I scratched several of mine previous iphone's just because of no protection on screen. Today I got first one installed on mall (Ghost Armor) for $20 and will let you know how good it is soon. iPhone 5 is great and I wish to hold it longer.
 
Nope.

I didn't use one with my 4 and I don't think I'll use one with my 5 either.

I may use a backside protector if I ever use a bumper or go naked, though.
 
I did on my first IPhone, but really missed how nice the screen looked naked. I have couple years on my iPhone 4 and my iPads now, and no scratches on any of them. I am just careful.
 
Nope. Used one for about an hour on my 3GS until a dust bubble drove me nuts and I yanked it off. Never had one since, and never have had a scratch on my screen (knock wood ;) ).
 
I've used Bodyguardz film on my last few iphones plus the wifes. This time around I went for the Bodyguardz Pure (the tempered glass overlay) similar to the Spigen product.

I love it. The glass feels so much better when using the phone and it can be the sacrificial lamb and I can get a replacement through Bodyguardz advantage replacement program.

I would recommend one of the glass products.
 
when I first got my 4...I put a screen protector on..then my friend said "what you need that for? The iphone glass is suppose to be pretty tough and scratch resistant" So like an idiot I am, I listened to my friend and took the screen protector off. By the end of the day my screen had a big 2" scratch across from coins in my pocket..go figure. I'll be using a screen protector when I get my 5.

As always, some do, some do not. It's a subjective matter and there are countless prior threads if you want to collect opinions. You need to make the call based on your needs/wants/preferences.

I can understand people not wanting to use a case, but can't understand why not to use a screen protector.

If you assume that your preference is universal on any topic then you won't understand no matter what the topic. Again, subjective matter.
 
Don't like screen protectors at all. I could never put them on right and the edges would start peeling off and look stupid. Havent had a scratch on the screen for any 3 of the iphones i've had.
 
I have been using a Buffalo screen protector which I picked up in Japan. This weekend, I scratched it up pretty badly during a tactical pistol class. Today I picked up a Zagg HD. It is very disappointing. Not even close to the Japanese made Buffalo, and leagues away from a Power Support crystal. Fortunately, I'm going back to Japan in a few days, and by then power support should have its product on the shelf. The USA reseller says late October.

How do you like it? How was installation? I thought about ordering one of these.

I'm very happy with it. I watched the hinge method installation video on YouTube and put it on in the steamy bathroom. I got a flawless install.
Sure there are fingerprints... Just as many as I got on the naked screen.
With this on my phone I don't worry about scratching the screen when I wipe the prints off on my shirt or pant leg.
I've had it on for a week and have no marks on it.
