Hey guys.

Hope you guys are well I'm really excited about my brand-new white iPhone 4S. I was wondering though however how many have you used a front screen protector for you iPhone 4 S. I've used one in the past for my black iPhone 4 and I didn't really notice much of a difference as soon as I took off the screen protector I'd realise I've been missing out on that gorgeous display and that wonderful natural feel.

How many of you do not use a front screen protector?
 
I don't atm but I will be using one soon enough once it arrives in the mail. Scratched my previous iPhone 4 on accident and regretted not using a screen protector ever since 🙁
 
Zagg on all my iPhones. the films are 100% transparent and give excellent protection. (the lifetime warranty is also a plus)
 
Can't stand the feel and look of zagging and other brands "orange peel effect"

The crispness of the screen is just not the same.
 
This is what I felt. My wife had a iPhone4 with ought screen protector for a full year in and out of her hand bag. No scratches N easier to clean screen then with a screen protector. :-/ I was astonished at when I did take the screen protector off... I was missing out on a beautiful screen.
 
Belkin Matte Screenguard on the front, and a Moshi iGlaze clear case on the back.

It still looks and feels like my iPhone, just without me being scared of scuffing it up.

I have used power support screen protectors for years the crystal-clear protector makes it as if you were looking at the regular screen in fact when I got my iPhone 4S within an hour I was at the power support store in Burbank buying the screen protectors for my new phone power support all the way!!

On a side note I love that I can dictate my posts to Siri and she types it!!

Yes I have a full body invisible shield. Their quality has improved since the last one I purchased a few years ago. It not near as orange.

I used to use one for my 3GS but I always hated the dust and dirt collecting under the protector. Took it off and don't plan on using one for my 4S. Screen looks too good to cover it up. I plan on treating it like a new-born child.

I did, however, put a screen protector over the Apple logo on the back since the Otterbox Commuter case doesn't cover the back hole.
 
I use the ones from SGP ... It's like nothing is on there and I find they stick much "harder" to the glass and dont lift as easy/accidentally as powersupport.
 
I don't have my 4S yet, but when I get mine, I'll put one. Eventually, down the road, I'll take it off.

That's what I did with my 3GS. Right now I don't use it with a screen protector anymore 😱🙂
 
No screen protector or case. Opened the phone and immediately took all plastic off. Naked or nothing. ;-)
 
6 sets for $2 eBay specials here. And I never even make it past 1 set. On my 4 I had an eBay one on there for over a year with never any need to change/replace it.

I still had several sets leftover for my 4S and so I immediately put them on after removing the stock ones.

Spending $15-$30 on these name brand screen protectors is a total waste of money IMO. But more power to you guys that do
