Does the TP2 really need a screen protector?

[spectheintro]

Hey all. So, I'm basically hopeless at putting on screen protectors. After a few months the thing is half-peeled off because it never set properly. It's annoying as hell.

Does this thing really need one? My iPod Touch has no screen protector and I've no visible scratches on the screen. How scratch-resistant is the TP2? Has anyone used it without a protector and been all right? Or will I end up with an unusable phone in a few hours?

Thanks everyone.
