Do you guys use a screen protector?

Using SGP ultra clear. Great product. I would say SGP and PowerSupport are the best brands. I had a PS on my 4S.
I'm tempted to try a glass screen protector. Is the BodyGuardz one thinner than the SGP one?
I always get dust on the screen when wiping it down with the provided microfiber cloth after taking off the previous screen protector. How do you avoid this or handle this problem with the steamy room trick?

I use zagg hd front... and have xtremeguard on the back... and luckylabs for sides... was thinking of using switcheasy nude clear case, but the volume buttons giving me probs... so m going no case for now
I just found out that the Power Support ones are ready to ship. They work with a partner called TruProtection while awaiting inventory from Japan. I was told by PS that the only difference in the two items is that one is packaged in Japan and TruProtection is packaged in the US. I ordered 2 anti-glare screen protectors today. The Zagg one has been ok but it doesnt hold a candle to the Power Support one.
I also just got the email confirmation for the order and it actually came from Sales | Power Support. I can't wait.

I definitely use one. But I'm a butterfingers.
Right after removing my iPhone 4S from my bumper, it slipped from my hands right onto some blacktop. Screen protector looks awful, but it did its job.

You have a defective unit if that happens. The screen is made with gorilla glass. Four years, every iPhone, no screen protector, no scratches.
So you are saying the hundreds if not thousands of people that have scratched or damaged screens have purchased defective units?
I've seen all ranges of iPhones, even the new 5, get scratched by simplistic things such as dust constantly rubbing creating friction inside a leather pouch. The friction causes the scratches, not one or two scrapes across but many consecutive swipes. Same with many hits from keys in a pocket. The constant force strains the integrity of the screen.
It sounds to me that you have drank the kool-aid from the marketing campaigns. Gorilla Glass, which is actually just a named brand Corning made up for its glass is strong yes, but not unbreakable.
Not to mention that it is really a mystery as to what glass is used in the iPhone leading up to the 5. No one truly knows but this article seems to make it pretty clear that Apple had not been using Gorilla Glass until recently (http://9to5mac.com/2012/03/02/apple...ne-means-gorilla-glass-2-likely-for-iphone-5/). There are other articles which you can google on your own.
Apple was probably using something like it but not the name brand version by Corning in the previous iterations of the iPhone. If you had zero scratches or no light marks with can been seen when tilted to the light then you are a very lucky person in a minute selection of the population.
Use a screen protector or not, I don't care but making statements like this to others with not only zero proof but also accusations that a person's product is defective is just ignorant.
Really?

Here's article on aluminosilicate glass, since I doubt a lot of you know what it is.

You guys can use a screen protector if you want, but saying someone is clueless because you're dwelling in your self guided ignorance is ridiculous.
small amounts of dirt/sand contain mineral content hard enough to scratch the surface of gorilla glass. which is why i and so many others have anything from very small to larger scratches on the glass. certainly possible to happen going in and out of a pocket.
yes, i used the Anti-Glare Screen Protector for my iphone 5

I had the Zagg HD full body installed at my local mall a week ago. The screen is crystal clear and feels very smooth. Screen sensitivity has not been compromised. Very pleased with the warranty and purchase.
I have very shaky hands so I can't self install.
