Who does not use a screen protector on their nexus s? My invisishield just got really bad so I took it off. I think I will get a new one but who doesn't use one at all? You have any scratches?
I don't use one. Have had my NS for 13 days and no scratches yet!

Why would you use a screen protector? It would totally negate the amazing oliophobic coating that makes this device so special

Ive never had a screen protector on this phone, and ive had it since the day it came out. Not a single scratch on the screen.
Of course now that i say that im going to scratch it tonight.

I have a ghost armor screen protector and have been wanting to go no SP. Only thing stopping me are the painful pictures I've seen of the oleophobic coat wearing off.

I've had my Nexus One for about a year. I have a couple scratches on my screen even with Gorilla Glass. The scratches are definitely from keys. I also have a few nicks on the body. I went a month with a pouch/case and screen protector but after about a month I realized how you totally lose the design of a phone with cases'. So I think when I get my Nexus S, Im gonna use a pouch and just rock my phone fully NAKED, who cares if you scratch the screen or the body, Its just a phone. In about a year when your going to sell it, its already dated and worth little to nothing, How much is a 6/10 condition Nexus One Vs a 9/10 Nexus One?
im looking for a pouch too. i love the way the stock phone feels on my hand.
i'm not using any screen protectors for about a month, and no scratch till now

Because there are small spots on my screen where the coating is gone (or seems that way anyways). There are others who have experienced this also in the big "oleophobic coating" topic. It can only be seen under light in a certain angle, but it's definitely there. The screen protector negates the effect so I don't see it anymore. Weird, but that's why I use a screen protector.
No screen protector. No scratches either

I don't use a screen protector, had my phone since the week it was launched in the UK and I don't have any scratches on it.
I always think they look rubbish, no matter how neatly they are put on.
i dont even use one on my evo, unless your working in the trades I dont think most people will benefit from using a protector
No screen protector since day 1 in december, no scratches either despite some bad drops on concrete which have dented the plastic around the screen.
Glass is tough!
I think building up a castle around a phone is "iPhone user style"
I just wanted to share this very cheap screen protector i bought off ebay. I originally had the one from the sprint store that covers the screen only but the s pen scratched it everytime. I bought these and it covers a good part of the front unlike the sprint one. Ive had it for a week and used the s pen ALOT and not one scratch. If i had to compare it to one id say its as good as the one that comes with the UAG cases. Its very clear the screen is very responsive. I posted some pics along with the seller. I really think everyone would be happy with these protectors

I agree, bought mine from the same seller. Smooth and doesn't scratch like some other screen protectors I've used. Would definitely recommend. If you don't want to pay $13 for a single SGP, can't go wrong with these.

Normal. It's not oleophobic or anything like that. And it's not a matte protector either so fingerprints will show.

Bought this generic from Amazon for $4 :

Easy to apply to both front and back though the surface is not as smooth as the gorilla glass. Seems to be giving good protection for the 1+ week I have been using it.

I used the XtremeGUARD protector on my screen (not full-body) for about a week while waiting for SGP protectors to come in. The S Pen marked the protector up badly. Use those XtremeGUARD protectors--and any wet-apply protector--only if absolutely necessary on the Note 2.
I would agree if we didn't use the s-pen. It only seems fluid if the screen is naked, or I am using a ultra crystal screen protector. Then, it's almost slippery. Now if I could not get dust underneath AND line it up right, I would be happy. Very difficult with this damn enormous screen, lol.
I ordered two sets of these a couple days ago before seeing this post, now I'm excited to receive these I had ordered some ikross branded ones from amazon two weeks ago which turned out to be crap, hopefully these are a lot better.

I agree with the OP. This screen protector is excellent and does not scratch with the S pen like the Sprint store screen protector. I did have to sacrifice one when applying because of dust under the screen and there is still two microscopic one on the second screen protector but it does not bubble up so I am leaving it there.

From what I've read, I've seen happy results with Spigen or Just Like Glass. I believe JLG claims better protection, but Spigen has a little better coverage. I have the "pink" Spigen one and am very happy. Install went perfect, lined up well and if you're super careful with dust, a dry install is fine. It's also a 2-pack so you can replace it when it gets marked up.

I'm jumping on this "Zagg is crap" train. SPen smuggling everywhere after only a week. While Corning is smooth under the fingers, Zagg is slightly less rougher than sandpaper while attempting a scroll. Way overpriced. And buddies, if you ain't a master at applying, you definitely just wasted $25! My advice: pass up the Zagg aisle.
I have Just Like Glass. It's been 10 days, and there are still three bubbles of solution under it. They are shrinking steadily day by day, but it can take two weeks to clear up. Application was easy. Surface is slick and hard. Gonna be cool once the bubbles FINALLY evaporate.

I have a Skinomi Techskin on mine. I got it for 50% off (Came out to $10 with free shipping.) When my package came in there was an offer to redeem a free Skinomi screen protector. Pretty awesome if you ask me. The one thing I am worried about it cases. I don't want to get a case that will peel the edges up or anything. :/

My son just got his N2 and all they had at Best buy was the Zagg. He got it for some peace of mind until I could see him last weekend. I had an SGP oleophobic ready to go . I took a good look at the Zagg before removing it and it looked like the crazing you seen on old pottery. Horrible. I put on the SGP and he was like ”wow! Look at how beautiful my screen is!”

Best Buy has a "New & Improved - Smudge Free" zagg invisible shield. Along with the High Definition version. The Smudge free doesn't feel rubbery like the original Invisible Shield, and has a stronger texture than the HD version. I would still prefer the HD version because for some reason the smudge free one feels very similar to the Anti Glare 2$ protectors from Amazon/eBay

Had anybody else had sensitivity issues when using a screen protector? I bought the Zagg ultra clear hd protector and put it on right away. After doing that I have noticed that often it doesn't register touches and I have to tap harder than than I did before installing the protector. Please keep this thread to the question. I don't want it to turn into a discussion about merits of a screen protector vs being bare.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Yes your touch sensitivity is going to decrease when you add distance between the screen and your finger. Screen protectors vary in thickness, and materials they are made up of. So each style and brand are going to be different.
If your having problems turn up the sensitivity with glove mode. Or try a different screen protector.
I am a zagg employee and can assure you it only decreases sensitivity a slight amount. The best solution is to turn up the sensitivity like mentioned.

Listen I also tried the ZAGG and it was a major fail. Touch issues and a sort of haze on white backgrounds. I ended up pulling it off and contacting ZAGG for a replacement that I will just sell.
After seeing a friends protector on his iphone, I ended up using a Tech21 by BASF AND I CANT EVEN TELL IT'S ON THE SCREEN! I highly recommend it.

settings - Controls tab - increase touch sensitivity at the bottom of the list.
Just to keep it honest, I'm NOT a Zagg employee. I never use anything but Zagg screen protectors. And I never notice any real difference iin sensitivity. (I'd have to find 2 phones that were exactly alike in sensitivity, put a Zagg on one, and test them side by side to do better than "never notice".)
I also like dealing with the company. AT&T bricked one of my N3s. (Don't dare run out of battery during an OTA that glitches, or you'll have a lump of silicon in a phone case.) Zagg replaced the screen protector - even though the reason had nothing to do with Zagg. They didn't guarantee their product, they guaranteed that I'd be able to continue to use their product, even if someone else caused it to be unusable.

I bought my Nexus in march I thought i would love it. I tried it for two weeks and I hated it. I hated the build quality the way android works, it changed a lot since my eve days. So i gave it to my brother and took back my Z10. Eventually i got it back. like 4 weeks ago. And i gave back the Z10 then my friend wanted to buy a SGS5 so I told him to try out the nexus for two weeks see how he likes android now. He had the SGS2 and went iPhone. He returned it two weeks ago and cumulatively I've only ever had my nexus for four weeks. Ive started liking it.
I never bought it a case nor a screen protector. I thought i was going to sell it. Heck i couldn't return it because of some bulshevic that T-Mobile did.
My Nexus has been naked since March. It has been through three people and this is what it looks like.
One thing that Ive really disliked since i bought the device was how squeaky it is. Especially when slight pressure is applied to the camera corner. It bothers me to OCD levels

I've bought a case and a glass screen protector from spigen a couple weeks after I purchased the n5. I seldom use the case and only got around to putting the screen protector on a month ago. The case usually just gets in the way, as I use a otg flash drive and it won't fit with the case. I prefer the size of the n5 without the case as well.

Ebay has this Sandstone Case for the nexus 5. (There's a thread about it somewhere) It's very slim and most likely will not protect it if you drop it but it is very very thin and mimimalistic if you still have a case for your phone.
I currently have a black and white version of those cases. And running a matte screen protector. I might end up changing the matte to a regular protector. I'm too afraid to run it with no screen protector due to the ability to scratch it. I had a HTC One S before and saw a tiny scratch and it bothered me the whole time I had it.
I've had mine since December and not a single scratch on it. I did however use the phone with a case half the time with a glass screen protector, the plastic ones just feel cheap and grippy on the fingers. Looking at the condition of the N5 next to my iPhone 5 and S4 makes me appreciate it even more.

It's got gorilla glass 3. No screen protector. Had a tempered glass protector on it. Just didn't like the feel. Had a bumper case on it too. But I just like it better naked. I's a commercial electrician and haven't got a scratch yet. I'm sure that isn't gonna last forever. But when I do I may put the case back on
