[Nexus S Accessories] RevengeITA:
well I use a screen protector (useless imho, because of the curve screen) and a tpu case that saved my Nexus' life a lot of time..It can do almost everything but it can't fly yet!
[Nexus S Accessories] JokerAce:
Where did you get your carbon fiber?
[Nexus S Accessories] greg2826:
I ordered from Ebay, u can buy it for like 3£ or so and they will send u, like 1m square in one piece.

Then u have, to cut out the shape of back cover (take back cover off first) and then u need, to cut out the holes for buttons and camera/led.

It's little tricky, cuz of the rounded shape of nexus, so Google "fiber skin for nexus s", u will find professionally made fiber skin for nexus, have a good look and just do what they did, to make this skin work.
[Nexus S Accessories] NexS:
no screen protector for the whole time since nxs came out.

every day it goes in the vaute augsburg together with my keys and wallet - never ever a scratch.

just tpu case against the 3 or 4 plunges till now. One from ~2meters and it bounced at least 3meters down a gruff concrete road.

I do not use any screen shield since I bought the phone a year ago. The screen is perfectly well without scratches . I love it and it still work very well n fast .
[Nexus S Accessories] jerusry:
I don't.. why would you.. screens us perfectly fine .. its not a stupid iPhone where anything that touched it will break it or scratch it
[Nexus S Accessories] mauiyob:
i have no case and no screen protector! hell yea! goin naked feels good!
[Nexus S Accessories] mrmoo3869:
I used to have a screen protector till a friend who unlocked my Nexus S said I really didn't need it cos it was gorilla glass so I took it off an I must say 6mths on I have scratched a big scratch the size of half my little finger nail in size in the top part of my screen oh well that's wot comes from putting my fone in the same pocket as some of my tools..............

[Nexus S Accessories] jeffrey3605:
Not a fan...

I don't see the need for a screen protector considering the curved screen really prevents contact with flat surfaces completely. imho:D
[Nexus S Accessories] Logomotph:
I don't have a screen protector on mine. it has 2-3 scratches, but you have to look really hard to see them. had it for almost a year now. I keep it in a sleeve. the curved screen saved it for a quite a few scratches.
[Nexus S Accessories] james7132:
nope

Don't have one and not a single scratch after several months. Even used it as the central processor of a violently moving robot.
[Nexus S Accessories] Arkador:
my invisable shield was on mine for almost a year, until I finally ripped it off. Now 4 months later, my screen cleans up and looks like new. I will continue to rock an unprotected screen.
[Nexus S Accessories] whoisrikk:
No screen protector or case. The battery cover will get some scratches after few months but you can get a new one quite cheap.
[Nexus S Accessories] WiseManWhite:
Speaking from a Bad Experience

After spending the money to get these phones, why wouldn't we throw on a $4 screen protector to make sure the screen stays nice for own sake and if we want to sell it some day. I just made a video about this on Friday. My screen was RUINED by my wallet...

[Nexus S Accessories] krazydonutboy:
Mine has been case- and screen protector- free for 1 year + now. Only scratches are from when I dropped it in a stream, then stepped on it with a boot, on a rock, screen down. And it's still kicking. Oo rah nexus.
[Nexus S Accessories] kelwong86:
im rolling my nexus s case less, but i never dare to go out without screen protectors, 2 phone 1 pocket, dam risky.:eek:
[Nexus S Accessories] chronophase1:
Gone straight bare. No more case for me. Feels and looks so much better.

[Nexus S Accessories] dougkuchna:
i too run without a case or a screen protector- and i'm pretty hard on my devices. i do have some slight scratches in the screen but you have to look really hard to see them (and i bought it used so maybe they were already there)

can't stand cases and don't use them on any devices :silly:
[Nexus S Accessories] PyroDroids:
I tried a screen protector but didn't like it at all, I've had my Nexus S 4G since it came out and only have one minor scratch on the screen. I do have a silicone soft case that I don't think I could go without just doesn't feel right without it, lol
[Nexus S Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Screen protector is nice at times.. Sucks if you do scratch the screen up and everytime you are tryin to type something you can feel the scratch or see it on a white screen.. Some folks are OCD about messing the screen up. But for 5 bucks for 6 or more why not throw something slim on it.

Any type of glass will scratch just a matter of time lol.
[Nexus S Accessories] rickballs:
I rock mine bare. Plus if it gets damaged, I'll just replace it. Its good to have insurance
[Nexus S Accessories] Wildfire.ca:
I have had mine for a year now with no screen protector. I had one on it for about a week when I first got it and I took it off because I wanted to enjoy the screen. If you look hard enough you can see 3 micro scratches when its off or black background and you get a glare on it. I am pretty impressed with the screens durability.
[Nexus S Accessories] Felsenmann:
I have my Nexus now for a year without screen protection, and I there are no scratches worth mentioning.
[Nexus S Accessories] AlanS181824:
I have a €3 screen protector on mine it was off eBay does the job well not a single scratch to be seen
[Nexus S Accessories] jivedanson:
No screen protector on my Nexus S. Had one on my Nexus One, but the S has been surprisingly resilient in the pocket, with keys, etc. Why clutter it up?
[Nexus S Accessories] GianFahmi:
mine too:)

i have rocked it without screen protector for about some months

i used anti glare and regular screen guard before..but it's annoying me if there scratch on it and that scratch make a rainbow line on it so i always rip the screen guard.LOL
[Nexus S Accessories] Shadster:
I have a screen protector for months, and so far so good.. and it was a cheap one.. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] luismg:
Nexus S for one year and no scratches, I have just the back invissible shield
[Nexus S Accessories] whitou:
Same here, got it for a year and a half
[Nexus S Accessories] wunderkind:
TBH, I never bother with screen protectors until this Samsung device. HTC, Motorola, Sony etc... I don't know why, but it seems all late model Samsung smartphones have this plastic-fantastic cheap build. As such, I have not just got a screen protector, I even got a case for it.
[Nexus S Accessories] getliketie:
I feel like the screen is actually kinda scratch proof! I've had mine for over a year and I have very minimal scratches on the front.
[Nexus S Accessories] kungfoochef:
Its definitely not scratch proof. I have a couple dings that tick me off because I'm not certain how they got there. I don't normally carry keys or change in my pocket, but I have a feeling my Passat's keyfob is what did it. They're fairly small, but deep (enough to feel them) gouges.

However, I dislike screen protectors, and the scratches are barely noticeable with the screen on, so I have no intention of adding a protector.
[Nexus S Accessories] s3anmik3:
I don't use a screen protector. I feel like if you just use a hard case, keep your phone in your pocket with nothing else in it, and be aware of drops then you should be just fine.
[Nexus S Accessories] redglory:
Same as me!

I'm Just using a Mercury Jelly Case Cover

[Nexus S Accessories] jefftheworld:
I rock mine totally nekkid. It really depends on the sort of person you are and even the sort of clothing you wear. Personally I've had mine naked as long as I've owned it and it's never gotten any scratches or blemishes anywhere on it that you can see without magnification.
[Nexus S Accessories] dylan_tucker:
i hate screen protectors. had one on my ipod and it sucked. i do rock the platinum 2 in 1 case though and i love it.

[Nexus S Accessories] :
I work construction if something at work is going to harm the phone a screen protector isn't going to do much. Usually keep it in my shirt pocket or back pant pocket,always by itself. I have one minor scratch I think the screen is pretty resistant.
[Nexus S Accessories] Disputed:
i dont use screen protector and my nexus, i've hade it since they've announced it.. and is FULL of scratches.. especially in the middle. and i still dont care.. i'm not going to sell it anyway lol

[Nexus S Accessories] PapaGanoosh:
Is it that the Seidi case is so big that it prevents stuff from scratching it or is it like an otterbox where it has a film over it?
[Nexus S Accessories] Imppy:
Where could I find this case?
[Nexus S Accessories] pdg1:
No screen protector. Ballistic case .

I purchased a screen protector but didn't put it on soon enough. So I decided to forget about it :p
[Nexus S Accessories] adio201:
Well I don't have a nexus s I only have nexus one had it since it came out back in 1992 lol well at lease k. Phone years that's what it seems like and I'm rocking jelly bean and with now screen protector and no scratches on the screen

No screen protector and no case. Still no scratches after about one year! Big bad NS rules

No screen protector and no case, but a Golla GenMob bag :)

I use one.. i think the touch on the screen feels nicer and i dont have to worry when i put my phone in my pocket if i got keys, coins, etc

I have been using my phone with nothing and had some accidental drops, but just got two or three very tiny minor scratches on the back cover and the screen stays perfect (after more than 1 year everyday use)
[Nexus S Accessories] lowtje:
No protection for almost 1.5 years now :) only some minor scratches
[Nexus S Accessories] Nun3s:
Almost a year passed and still no scratch at all!

Neither use a case or screen protect. Just use and save in pocket carefully. :D
[Nexus S Accessories] LancerEVA06:
I read through a bunch of posts... this one will convey my post well enough.

Keys, coins, lipstick, whatever... won't normally scratch the hybrid glass on a phone, unless they are made of carbide, tungsten, or an alloy containing either.

Now, a grain of sand WILL, in almost every case, scratch the screen.
[Nexus S Accessories] airphoto:
Almost a year and a half, no protector on the screen with one small scratch.
[Nexus S Accessories] alexxdj:
The same here!:cool:
[Nexus S Accessories] Ulver:
How has the oleophobic coating been holding up?
[Nexus S Accessories] Pirated Android:
Two noticeable scratches on the screen if you look hard enough when it's off, I always carry a tiny micro fiber cloth that I got with some screen protectors a few months back but I wasn't diggin' em. I do put on a rubber case when I go to work though.
[Nexus S Accessories] Morpheuspt:
I've never used one, and i've got no scratches :)

more than a year ago.
[Nexus S Accessories] Zieghart:
When I got my Nexus S, I was so paranoid I'd scratch the screen so I bought a screen protector before I unboxed it. Sadly, due to its concave(or convex, correct me if I'm wrong), placing it was hard, plus, it accumulated lint and dust at the edges. It's been more than a year now that I've been rocking my Nexus S without a screen protector (idc if there are coins in my pockets, my screen ain't getting scratched one bit).
[Nexus S Accessories] Mario Christian Oquias:
may i suggest posting of pics ? good day xda!
[Nexus S Accessories] naripsta:
I used to rock with none, did receive minor scratches, very minor. I'm sure it was from my keys being in the same pocket as my phone. I recently bought a screen protector for it just 'cause I got tired of the finger prints/smears on the screen itself.

I did not use any screen protector and now I have my Nexus S the past six months, no scratches, :D

I used a screen protector for a day and it got scrached just from being in my pocket, so i decided not to use it. Still no scraches on the screen whatsoever
[Nexus S Accessories] hp420:
I've had mine since Oct 5 2011....14 months :) Never used a case, never once applied a screen protector....even for a second.

My case is pretty much as scuffed up as it can get without looking abused. The case around the camera lens has a tiny chip, and the silver ring around the lens is dented in 2-3 places. The usb port has some wiggle room in it, and it sounds like there may be a few grains of sand or something in it. The screen has one tiny 1/2 cm hairline scratch in its top right corner that is just barely deep enough to see when the screen is on. All-in-all, after 14 months of daily HEAVY use on a job where I'm regularly in and out of construction sites, I'd give the gorilla glass on my D720 a 99.9% out of 100%....that negative 0.1% is for the small scratch I did get. Sorry, imperfection is imperfection....but that's not to say I won't tell everyone I know to buy a phone with gorilla glass....because I will :D
[Nexus S Accessories] banny.dude:
no one uses a screen protector
[Nexus S Accessories] CN80:
I use my NxS since a year and a half under very rough conditions. It got cold to more than -20°C, it got wet more than 100 times, it got grease and different sorts of oil on it and never had a screen protector.

But its still in very good condition without any scratches or something.
[Nexus S Accessories] Gingo21:
Do you know good sreen protectorat ?
[Nexus S Accessories] 30floh00:
Yeah, nothing but some fabric pocket. This thing got wettened, dropped it some 100 times and still works perfectly :)
[Nexus S Accessories] jrbooth3:
18 months total 6 months with my 11 year old. never a screen protector virtually no scratches
[Nexus S Accessories] ejcleunamme:
never liked screen protector because it gets scratches immediately and it makes the phone ugly. been using this without any protector and i only got one very tiny hairline scratch, i think because of some very pointy object or toy that my daughter played with it, but even if this phone doesnt have gorilla glass the scratch resistant glass installed is very durable and doesnt get scratched immediately.
[Nexus S Accessories] Gambler_3:
Been rocking it naked for 10 months. It has taken some beating but didn't shatter and the body has stood up so remarkably well. So much for "cheap" plastic haha.
[Nexus S Accessories] CptAwesomeTT:
No case or screen protector for the last three months and everything is fine so far. No scratches.
[Nexus S Accessories] rony1234:
No protector here too for the past 2 years. Very small negligible 2 or 3 scratches, can't even be seen except if you thoroughly clean and hold at a slant towards light. The protector would ruin the feel of the oleophobic covered screen. Given a choice I'd never use a screen protector.
[Nexus S Accessories] darkmillian:
No screen protector until my phone kisses the ground, now it got 4 big-@$$ crack line running all over it last month, now I'm using screen protector just to keep the screen intact, repairing costs like 100$ so now I'm gonna bear with it until I can get myself a GNex.

PS: The screen "heals" itself,

[Nexus S Accessories] Me Gusta:
Mine is completely naked! Its been like this for the last 1.5 year and still no scratches in the screen!! :D

[Nexus S Accessories] whiteferrett:
im just wondering when people will realize that the cases and screen protectors are actually more harmful than useful to their phones?
[Nexus S Accessories] dark'em:
Remember that the Nexus S dosent have Gorilla Glass, so it actually helps to have a screen protector, and if by harmful you mean that a case interferes with a screan protector well just buy a case that only covers the back and sides and that has holes in it
[Nexus S Accessories] The111:
Maybe "people" would realize sooner if you actually provided the reasons behind your statements. Since you clearly know something the "people" don't, simply telling them "I know something you don't" doesn't accomplish anything. Tell us why. :good:
[Nexus S Accessories] jmindset:
Really? I'm pretty sure that screen protection is good. Cases nor so. I feel that they help heat devices to fast.

I've been using my nexus S for two years now without screen protector or cases I dropped it like a zillion times no cracks until yesterday it really fell like 30 cm and now I got this huge crack in my screen lal time for nexus 5!!

Btw I also had really smile scratches of 1mm because of my keys in my pocket.
[Nexus S Accessories] didit456:
Okay , I decided to remove my screen protector . :D
[Nexus S Accessories] paydy12:
Depends on how you use

If your fingers are soiled often wen using the phone, you would have scratches over a period of time. I have been using it for some time now. with the screen protector and without it for some time and managed to get some scratches on the screen. So better use a screen protector if you can afford it. It would stay new when you change the SP.
[Nexus S Accessories] michalurban:
Im usually being polite, but this ...

... time, Im not gonna be. Go to hell with this opinion AND with your attitude!

Now, to say something on the topic - Ive always used screen protectors and I always will. Ive never experienced any problems regarding visibility or touchscreen responsiveness so for me, theres no reason to change that.

[Nexus S Accessories] DrSpanky:
I've had my NS since launch and have dropped it multiple times while getting out of the car and forgetting it's on my lap... No case or screen protector and not one scratch on the screen. I have a couple of scratches on the corners of the back cover, but they are pretty minor. I also don't keep anything else in the pocket I put my phone in, so that helps prevent scratches more than anything.
[Nexus S Accessories] Hoash:
screen protector

Using it from January 2011 No case or screen protector and not one scratch on the screen.
[Nexus S Accessories] Risi2112:
I have one or two on mine, then again I have a very 'I don't care' attitude. Ive probably had it in the same pocket as my keys at some point or another. The scratches are very very minimal though, not enough to bug me.

(I've had since a week after launch)
[Nexus S Accessories] joshthewaster:
I like this analogy. I keep mine naked and love it. No case, no protectors, and a bit of caution equals no scratches anyways.
[Nexus S Accessories] jonjon68:
Screen protectors are useless imo. I would not be against a shell of some kind, but I use a car dock every day.

So, I don't put anything foreign on my NS, or any other phone I've ever had for that matter for the same reasons.

Screen protectors, from what I've seen, cause more smudge damage that help it and what are people doing that they actually scratch these screens?

Anyway, mine's naked. Can't see that ever changing.
