Does it scratch easily from keys and other junk you carry in your pocket? Is it worth getting a screen protector or is the screen hard to scratch (like you have to make an effort to be careless enough to cause damage to it).
Got a tip for us?

You took a razor to your screen? Why?
What would have happened if it WOULD have scratched it? Then you just...would have had a very scratched screen. But at least then you'd know after all that a razor will scratch it....Crazy....But good to know that it's that tough, afterall.
If you go by a video on youtube where they put an iPhone in a bag with keys and shook the bag, well the screen should be pretty scratch proof.
If we go by real life experiences, the screen can and has been scratched. There are numerous reports on the Apple forums and other forums where people pulled the phone out of their pocket to discover a scratch.
Just be careful with it and put it in your pocket with nothing else in there and you should be OK. Mine is six months old and always stays in it's own pocket everyday. No scratches on mine.

I have a small scratch on the screen, I am very careful as well. It was usually in my front pocket with no keys etc but must have scratched elsewhere 😡.
If you don't like the idea of a case, use a screen protector to be sure.
If your going to cover it with a case and like to keep the slick look, have a look at the Orbino Strada Case. I don't like cases but the iPhone is so slippery I had to get a case for it.
