I disagree. If your screen scratches due to no protector, you can replace the glass. On the other hand though... Well that's 18 years.

Never have used one on any of my iPhone's or iPad's. Never scratched the screen either.
The glass seems pretty resistant. I sometimes throw my phone in my pocket with keys or a lighter or whatever else may be in there.. No scratches whatsoever.

Only on my Super Phones & iPad Mini since I can put it in my my pockets.
My 32GB iPad 3 LTE doesn't.
BTW, I do use Cases & Screen Protectors to hold it's value because I haven't kept a single Toy for more than 6 months. My iPhone 5 (Black, 64GB) lasted 17 days.

My iPhone 5 and my iPad 3 have Glass.T protectors on them. Best of both worlds.
My iPad Mini just has a smart cover right now....
My iPhone 4 was naked and picked up a lot of hairline scratches that were visible under sunlight / overhead light.

I've never liked this saying but "never say never" unfortunately struck a cord with me. I've never had a scratch on my iPhones or iPads . . . Until now
I don't know how it happened as I'm extremely careful with my mobile devices, but it did. I always use cases and sleeves and back covers , everything except screen protectors that is. Anyway, a small scratch appeared on the glass of my iPad 2
So, now I'm looking for a reliable, easy-to-apply, no bubbles or residue (when removed) screen protector for my iPad Mini.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me

Your friend was lucky. Glad
replaced it ----------
Hmmmm, maybe that's how my iPad 2 got scratched. I used a Smart Cover on it at one time but removed it because I didn't like the ridges it left on the screen.
I always try screen protectors (in fact one is being delivered today), but ultimately they get too smudged too quick and they become difficult to clean and I always go back to the oleophobic (sp?) glass. Eventually that even wears out, but it's better than a screen protector.
We'll see how today's installation goes later.

Yes. PowerSupport AntiGlare.
Never leave home without it. Cant see in the sun and I cant stand fingerprints.

Did you know that some wedding and engagement rings have diamonds in them? It may seem hard to believe but some women wear them, sometimes on multiple fingers aand with those fingers they hold the ipad.
Personally, I've had screen protectors on all my iPhones through time EXCEPT my iPhone 5. I have a case around it with full back, side and rim of the front coverage but left the screen open. I tried multiple times to get a screen protector on without success - always a bubble, thread, loose corner, etc. Plus, I agree it diminishes the overall tactile experience of the gorilla glass screen. It's soooo smooth, whereas screen protectors are definitely plastic.
For the iPad, I use the smart cover when transporting it, otherwise, it's screen is "naked" for the same reasons as above. So far, my iPad 2 has done very well, even with kids playing games on it. I DO have a back shell to protect the aluminum from scratching and also to make it a bit warmer to hold.

Same here. It makes outside viewing so much better/easier. Essential if you work outside.
Although I like the PowerSupport screen protectors they're way too expensive. I've had just as good luck with cheap ones off of Amazon or eBay (especially the ones from myGear, they were exceptional and cheap).
