Hi...
as topic; I had the plastic protector that came with the phone until yesterday, when I friend lend me a Palm protector to use instead...
I cutted it to fit the screen, but... there still are bubble all over it! I don't like using these plastics, I would like to leave it 'naked', as it is far better! But I'm afraid the screen will get destroyed... 
So... what do you tell me? How do you keep your screen?
Thanks.

i believe that the k750 and w800 screen are pretty scratch resistant. mines got no scratches and i wipe it with my fingers. i dont use one and only would on a p series and on my PSP.

I have NEVER used a screen protector on any phone I have had and think they are a) a waste of money if you are using a case and b) more trouble than they are worth
if you keep your phone naked in the pocket then apart from screen scratches you will also get housing scratches and these days you can get a new housing for not alot more than the cost of screen protectors

totally agree
screen protectors are a total waste of money.
firstly if you keep your phone properly in a case it will get no scratches, ive never had scratches on any phone ever.
if you keep it in your pocket with keys, coins etc. it will properly get scratched in time, but like masseur said, a totally new cover doesnt cost more than a screenprotector and are easily changed. |

In this part of the world, an off the street but good (China made) screem film isn't over 3 euro ! I had it on the P910 with no issues and yes I keep it directly in my spare pocket so I needed it. But this phone I use very casually and housing is damaged from falling, coins, keys etc. But the screen of this S700 is still sexy has hell even naked. A slight mark from a real bad fall. But I dont know if these new phones too have the scratch 'proof' glass over the LCD.. if you not comfy, leave it.

Yup, I agree too. I've never used a screen protector or case, I just always put the phone in a pocket on it's own, even if it means that my other pockets are bulging with stuff!
None of my phones have ever had a scratched screen, just general wear on the housings

I used a body glove on my K700 from time to time, it looked pretty good and in some situations has helped protect it well.
I have to say that I prefer to see a phone without a cover, and that providing you keep it away from change/keys in your pocket it should stay in pretty good condition.
If the worst should happen, you can always replace the case relatively cheaply now.

I have a Pivot anti glare screen protector on my W800 and I use either a Pivot silicone case or my  ICE-25 depending on what I'm doing.
Just gives the screen a little extra protection.
They're ok if you can get them cheap.

If you scratch the screen protector it will look much uglier than scratching the screen... |

Well... right here I don't think I can get housing for the phone (eh... AMERICA_2  ), so that's what I worry about.

I have never used a screen protector, I mean, I personally think that to get a phone like a W800, alot of it is about the fab look of the phone.
This topic reminds me of iSkins, I'd never get an iSkin for my iPod, I mean, all the point of having an iPod, is the beautifully crafted body, and sure, whilst it protects it, you can't see it, so the points end up cancelling out, if you get what i mean.
Don't use a screen protector, as @masseur said, eBay has extremely low priced housings, there's no point in making your screen ugly and bubbly in my opinion.
