Re: does the hero need a screen protector
 

The phone will still show fingerprints. As will any phone when you touch the screen, touchscreen, or not. Period. But, without a screen protector, I put my phone in my pocket, and even if the screen is covered in prints, by the time I pull it back out, it's clean. Like I never even touched it. The coating on the hero only makes it easier to wipe prints off the screen. Not prevent them from occurring.

But to the OP, a screen protector never hurts. I'm planning on getting one, and buying a silicone sleeve to protect the rest of the phone.

Re: does the hero need a screen protector
 

I bought a ZAGG on friday along with my Hero. I didn't put it on until last night. I'm not sure I like the feel of it. It almost seems sicky and it prevents fluid swipes. I never would get a full body one. Maybe I just need to get used to it. With my Vogue I always used Write Shield (Anti glare) from http://www.ppctechs.com/ But I just quickly looked and didn't see one for the hero. With my Touch Pro I made it about a whole year with the one it came with =D>

Re: does the hero need a screen protector
 

I have a screen protector on it now, but it just annoys me. Though, to be honest, I didn't take the time to make it "perfect" so there are some bubbles under the screen. Still, it's never gonna feel the same as it did without a covering on it.

What I'd love to see is someone do a scratch test on the Hero's screen. Something like this:

If it could handle that kind of abuse, I would probably leave it "naked" like god intended.

Re: does the hero need a screen protector
 

I do have one, but honestly, I see little need for it, and it'll probably come off soon.

I'll have the phone a year at most. I do little wear on a phone in a year's time and I find the "look" of cases and screen protectors to detract more than a scratch IMO. As long as function is there, I'm all set.

boxwave makes the best screen protectors imo. I have used them for years, have only brought one protector per phone....they last!

Re: does the hero need a screen protector
 

I used the bodyguardz on my touch pro and I have it on my hero. It doesn't have the orange peel feel. It does not interfere with scroll nor touch sensitivity.

Re: does the hero need a screen protector
 

I found their protectors to be decent (had on on my HTC touch and now on the Hero). However, the last time I ordered, it 3 weeks for the thing to arrive.

This was in the midst of unanswered and completely ignored inquiries. I'd stay away from boxwave, they don't even have a phone number on their page!

Re: does the hero need a screen protector
 

I like to put a screen protector on all my touch screens anymore. Especially since I like to throw my phone in the same pocket as my keys when running out of the apartment in the morning. I like the invisible shield product, but I only get the screen cover and not the full body casing. In my opinion, it gives the phone a rubbery grip feeling and personally, I like the finish of the phone. I would prob get a little bag for the phone. If you play D&D, you could use the dice bag as a great holster that will fit in your pocket or like another guy I saw at sprint, uses his daughters mitten from when she was a kid.
