Does the TP2 really need a screen protector? - Page 2

I have had my Seidio screen protector on since november and love it.
It went on easier and better than any other one iv used and I like the hard slick feel versus the sticky rubbery feel of Zagg and Ghost Armor.

And they're much cheaper than those other ones.

From the day I took it out of the box I have never put a screen protector on my TP2. It only has minors barely-noticable scratches. I always assign it a pocket in which I make sure it is the only item. As for keys I use a clip to carry those I never put keys in my pocket. Maybe it also helps that I never use the stylus (I lost it a while back and never bothered replacing it as I always use 6.5.5 roms which are indeed finger friendly).

I'm not that type either, but I like to keep the phone in top condition for one reason: selling value. I always get top dollar for my phones I sell on eBay because I keep them in great condition, and that allows me to get my next toy a lot easier.

I had a boxwave clear touch crystal that was nice until it started pealing at the points by the send and end hard keys. Took it off and did not replace it and probably won't. I carry it in a VZW belt clip and use the stylus a lot and don't see any noticeable scratches. Either that, or they're small enough that it doesn't bother me.

just my $0.02

I dont like Zagg's screen protector cause of the rubbery feel... but it did protect it from a dog trying to eat my Touch diamond lol.

I just recently bought some screen protectors from ATT&T... they were like 3 for $10 so far its ok. Just like the ones you get from stock.

I would recommend one. Like others have said, use extra caution when using the stylus on screen without a screen protector. If there is one speck of dust on the screen or the tip of the stylus and you move the stylus across the screen, BAM! You have a nice scratch on the screen of your $500 device. Not a fun experience.

If you ever lose sense of responsiveness of the screen, I would advise taking the screen protector off. I had this issue and took the protector off and had rainbow banding underneath. Not a fun experience either.

i love no screen protector. had mine since sept. i'm sure you can find a few tiny scratches, if you micro examined it. but i don't notice any. i keep it in my pocket. always just the only thing in that pocket. rarely use a stylus. it feels way better to the touch without a condom on the front of it. go for it! live recklessly with no protection
