I really like screen protectors for their protection and replacement qualities (much easier to replace than a screen). I am on my 4th brand of screen protector because I want the benifits and none of the drawbacks. I am currently using the ReaLook screen protector and could not be more amazed with the results. It keeps the screen looking great, touch works great, and easiest install I have ever done.

i've had a few phone with gorilla glass and never bother with a screen protector. yes it will still scratch but they are usually so tiny that you have to turn the screen off and clean the class to even notice. i've never seen a screen protector that feels as good as glass and doesnt make the screen look worst.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonedub:
After reading this thread I installed the screen protector that came with the Feather to see how it feels. Easy install, good feel, & screen looks good still too.

Had I not had one handy I wouldn't have bothered.

I will always swear by screen protectors. Silly to not add an invisible layer of protection.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cegna09:
I hate cases, so i usually go with protection film, which comes with a piece for the screen. I've been through several brands of films and screen protectors, and i have to say, ghost armor is one of the best. Phenomenal at hiding grease from your fingers, easy to install, and have a lifetime warranty. The one i bought for my Aria had some dimples after 6 months, called for a replacement, they sent out a new one no questions asked. Just had to send my old one back to them when i removed it.

Do these protectors have any effect on the touch sensitivity of a capacitive screen?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theonedub:
Haven't noticed any sensitivity issues. I do now see that the protector I am using does not do well on hiding fingerprints, but with the protector on it I wipe it whenever I feel like (even with my shirt sleeve) since I know the screen will not scratch at all :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaztazim:
I never use a protector or case and never have issues, I shattered a Droid screen once and it was dumb luck it landed right on the corner.

As far as sensitivity I used to work for zagg and some phones will see a slight sensitivity decrease, but in my experience its just on phones that are overly sensitive any ways and it actually helps make the phone a buy easier to use.

I use an sgp oleophobic screen protector, same one I used on my iphone 4.

I like the extra protection, it helps when reselling the phone down the road.

Its like sex with and without a condom the screen protector seems fine at first but once you remove it.... u can't go back to using it with the same satisfaction of having nothing
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdurfob:
I feel the screen is a lot better off nude. Depending on what screen protectors you get, some will make the screen a little dimmer or reduce the viewing angle. If you aren't accident prone then it should be fine without a screen protector.

And just go by a microfiber cloth to clean the oily fingerprints and trails off your phone.

I use a screen protector to prevent shattering. The extra resistance that it gives helps to prevent a crack if the phone is dropped.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LancerV:
Curious how you think a screen protector is going to give it extra protection if you drop it? Laws of physics would say it wouldnt do anything
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swimh5:
phone screen broke after a week

I dropped my phone after just about 1 week. It slipped out of my hand when I was taking it out of my pocket and fell flat on the battery cover. The touch-screen shattered instantly. I had dropped my old iphone 3g many times in similar ways and never had a crack.

Thankfully, the folks at motorola put together a phone that can be repaired with just a little effort. I wrote about it on this site: seanhorgan.posterous.com.

Does anyone know if the glass covering the camera lens is Gorilla Glass too?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big_redfox:
Why not just put one on since it is so cheap?

I got a pack of 5 screen protector for less than $4 on Amazon. These new ones are much easier to get rid of air bubbles. You can barely tell there is a screen protector once properly installed.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodFoot:
The Nokia N8 is the only mobile phone I've seen that reportedly uses Gorilla Glass as protection for its (12-megapixel) camera lens.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromedome00:
that is the key - I want 100% perfect screen clarity, and NO screen protector offers that.

Yes, it is cheap insurance, but so is wearing a helmet when you go for walk.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyDrunkenDude:
if it was like sex with and without a condom.....i'd definitely go without. that way you can have little baby atrix as a backup if you got a scratch :) .... i had an invisibleshield and my son pulled up the edge, so i took it off to warranty it out, but i dont know that i can put anything back on it because i forgot how clear the screen really is. Im voting to go without a screen protector so i can fully enjoy my device
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purepulse64:
haha good point :P

I use a screen protector on mine (anti-glare, anti-fingerprint) I like the texture on it vs just the screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It does scratched. My first Atrix that i returned had little bitty hair line scratches on it. several of them actually. im guessing coins my keys in ym pocker cuz i was careful not to put it face down anywhere. but it does scratch. when i returned it to best buy i had a screen protector on it so they didnt notice it. but yes i would recommend it, keeps your screen looking nice when your about to sell or soemthing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roharia:
Yes, gorilla glass will protect shattering/brreaking offbeat glass, scratchen will still. E very evident
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _tyro_:
the gorilla glass is awesome and under semi-careful use will stay pretty much flawless, but if you buy a case with a built in screen cover you get these air bubble pockets. i typically carry my phone with no case but i do have an otter box defender for when i work in the garage and crap like that. with a screen protector you dont get that bubble effect. so for me and way i use the phone its more versatile with a screen protector on it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnius1:
Get the ishield one ( I think that's it). It's the one you put on using a liquid type applicator. You can't see it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeman Broguy:
Definitely not true.

I use an Invisible Shield on mine, and while I do enjoy the added protection, the device looks MUCH better without it. I'll deal with it though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnius1:
Really? I don't notice but maybe I'm just used to it. Can't say it's that much of a difference but the store guy put mine on for me and did a great job
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
The bubbles and rainbow effect are very well known issues with the Otterbox cases. You can get rid of both completely using a procedure with baby powder. Plenty info via Google on this.

I for one, think that screen protectors do more harm than good, at least in my case.

I had a Motorola Milestone for a year and a half, had it with my pocket, usually with my keys. And until a month ago I noticed a very thin, hairline scratch, so I have my faith in the Gorilla Glass. Now I am not saying I was uber reckless, but that I usually put it along with the keys and stuff and only got a one small scratch. Plus screen protectors most of the time make the screen more insensitive and make it look ugly. So IMO the atrix is better off without a screen protector.

Also, if you screw up your screen, that is very repairable!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
This is why I use one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nabicat:
Already have a handful of light scratches just from random objects in pockets. I've only owned the phone 2 weeks. There were no nasties like keys or sharp items in my pockets. I think a protector is a minor inconvenience compared to the permanent irritation of seeing scratches on the screen.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeman Broguy:
Interesting. Do you often find it necessary to drop piles of wood screws on your device?

I suppose that literally using a dremel on the screen would make a game like Fruit Slice much more realistic.

I use Zagg and it works great
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
I've been rocking a couple Atrix's since shortly after launch and these bad boys have FLAWLESS screens. I keep them in my pants pocket and/or man purse (don't laugh, I have big muscles!) lol :D

My buddy has a Zagg screen on his and it looks like my nutsack. The Atrix screens are really nice and wipe clean very easily. They're strong too. No nicks or dings or even the faintest scuffs. The back pieces have a lot more scuffs, but they're only visible under strong lights. Goes to show how strong the screens are though!

I have a retired dell streak that got scratches on the screen and that has gorilla glass but as far as my atrix goes its otterboxed with the defender case screen protector built into the case invisashield comes off over time depending on how much you use it and how you use it
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeardedchild:
I totally agree. It honestly seems like in the production of Gorilla Glass, they may have made it impervious to cinder blocks falling on it or scratches from the scythe of a demon from hell or something else really asinine... But it can't freaking stand up to pocket lint! I had mine for a week and I am OCD and freaking babied this thing more than I probably ever will a real child, and I STILL got two stupid little scratches from absolutely nothing. I wound up getting a Splash Marquee screen protector (think that's the name..). I really can't tell it's there. Way less conspicuous than the crappy Ghost Armor I had before.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FuzeLearner:
Use the ReaLook Screen Protector (http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Crystal-Premium-Protector-REALOOK/dp/B004QFKB7M). It's a dry apply protector that is a stiffer plastic so when you put it on, you get zero bubbles. I didn't believe it until I tried it, but it is extremely easy and I did both my phone and my wife's phone with zero bubbles. Also the screen protector is great, my wife didn't know it was on until I told her a couple of days later. It is extremely clear, you can't see it and it works and feels like the naked screen. It is plastic so it does scratch if you put it in with your keys but that's what you bought it for, you can replaced it in 6 months for $5.50 and have a perfect screen again. Sorry for the long write up but amazing product, 6 out of 5 stars. If anyone tries this protector, let me know what you think, if you know of one that is better than this one, then I would be interested to try it out!

I noticed that the glass was a bit ... sticky??? My fingers didn't slide as easily as on other phones' screens. I have an inexpensive screen protector which allows my finger to slide easier.

I prefer a screen protector that is anti-glare. When I have my phone in the dock mounted to my mountain bike, it makes life so much easier when I bike.

I dropped my Motorola Atrix 4G onto concrete while training with my reserve unit off of my cot. It landed on the top right corner from about a ft n a half. Didn't crack screen. Put a small dent in the body. I have no screen protector or case on the phone. I usually have screen protectors on my phones, but could not find one in my town. I have since ordered the otterbox case. Have not applied it yet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJay20:
Gorilla glass isn't tiger blood: it can get scratched. However, it doesn't get scratched as easily as an Inspire, but it does get a ton of fingerprints on it, which alone is a great reason to get a screen protector. My combo for case/screen protector is the Speck Candyshell and the ATT store screen protector. I tried the Otterbox out for a few days, thing is that while the protection is awesome, it stops you from feeling vibration and it the screen protector it provides turns your phone into a Blackberry Storm :(

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeGuru:
I'm convinced they have different quality of Gorilla Glass for different devices. I had my iPhone 3gs for almost 2 years with no case or screen protector. I never cared if I put it in a pocket with keys or change and I didn't have one scratch on my screen. The body was a different story though. I bought a Captivate and got a scratch within a week and I even decided I wasn't going to let the body get messed up so I put it in the pocket by itself. I couldn't ignore the scratch so I traded that in for and Atrix and it's been in an Otterbox since I got it 2 months ago.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realarchambeau:
I also have an Otterbox Defender and although it is a little bulky, I know that this phone is safe from scratching and such. Ever since I dropped my Nexus One and smashed the screen, nothing but Otterbox and couldnt be happier.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madquack:
Gorilla glass is a bunch of BS. Just another gimmick. If it works for you, great, but on MY phone it looks like scratch central. I usually carry it in a little felt pouch in my pocket yet still new scratches appear. Junk.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
Same with me. I have taken great care of this phone and somehow there are small little scratches getting all over it. I can feel them with my finger nail on a couple of them...I honestly can't tell the difference between any other phone I've had and this phone. I think the only thing Gorilla glass helps with is being shatter resistant...I don't think it's even close to scratch resistant.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4ce:
It isn't scratch resistant ... and considering it is so cheap, why not get one ... I use the AT&T ones ... simply because they will apply it for me ... 9 bucks for two of those ... still using the first one ... anti-glare and also avoids smudges ... And I skimp on the case ... I have a cheap 3 USD case from Amazon that is doing the job for me ...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyevey:
True... I had my Atrix in the car while camping in 20deg weather in the mountains and a hairline scratch turned into a 1/2inch crack in the glass (2 weeks after purchase)... maybe a one-off situation, but if I'd had a screen protector on from day 1 the chances of a getting a hairline scratch in the first place would have been slim. I'm kicking myself to this day.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotttc2000:
It scratches.

I am not very conscious where i keep my phone. Gorilla glass will eventually scratch. After I noticed I had a few scratches, I bought a $10 otterbox case with screen protector. Now I have a very scratched up screen cover instead.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrischoi:
I know plenty of people that have scratched their GG screens. Even keys that rubbed against the screen can do it. After seeing that in person, I always put a screen protector on.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treehumper:
Right after buying mine I slapped an Invisishield on the sucker and haven't regretted doing so- it's been dropped face-down from 24ft onto unpaved driveways a few times and the Invisishield definitely did it's job saving the phone... I've busted other GG screens the same way.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maajstor:
My wife's Defy (gorilla glass) fell on a pavement from 1 m height and glass was shattered. I bought a new one (20something $ on ebay) and while replacing it I took a little experiment with glass leftovers. I took a screwdriver with sharp tip and tried really hard to scratch the largest piece of shattered leftovers. No visible scratches.

My conclusion, Gorilla glass pro:

It's hardened glass, really hard (almost impossible) to scratch

Con: It's glass, it's fragile.

Do we need screen protector? I can't tell if it would have saved my wife's Defy, but I sure have one on my Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treehumper:
Well, the glass was saved, that's for sure. The case it was in was quite flimsy although it didn't hold the phone together, I was able to put it all back together (case came apart, back cover flew off and battery fell out). No real damage was suffered, though I did take the receipt back to BBY and had them swap out the Invisishield since it's got a lifetime warranty and the scratch on the plastic didn't look appealing.

Right after that drop, I stuck the thing in an Otterbox. I had some trouble keeping the air bubbles from appearing between the Otterbox plastic film and the Invisishield. I tried the baby powder method but it needed to be reapplied every time I removed the phone from the case. I got fed up with that and removed the Otterbox's plastic screen protector. Since the phone has an Invisishield on it already it seemed like the right thing to do.

I also pay for BBY's Black Tie on the phone monthly which would replace the phone should the glass shatter or the phone suffer damage from a risky-height fall but realistically I don't want to lose my phone right in the middle of my work day... Otterbox it is.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveoner:
Also, matte screen protectors are very useful when you are on the outside. They make the phone easier to read (well, even at home). And personally I prefer the smooth touch of a matte protector to the sometimes sticky naked glass.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewartsoda:
What's a good matte screen protector to use? My wife has some Griffin set for her iPhone which I like, but it looks like it scratches pretty easily.

OBTW- I noticed tons of little tiny scratches after 2-3 months of use with no screen protector. Even with Gorilla Glass I'd say get one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xploited:
Although this does sound amazing, I still think you got sort of lucky. If it hits the ground at the right angle - there's nothing invisible shield could do to save it. :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treehumper:
Gravity did work in my favor this one time. I doubt I will see it happen like this again... hence the purchase of the Otterbox! :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LivingChampion:
I don't give a **** if it's "gorilla glass". Any portable electronic that I buy gets a screen protector slapped on, especially if it's expensive. It'll cost you $1 per screen protector to save it from scratches, why the hell not pay it? If you put the protector on correctly, you won't notice the difference if its there.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheveoner:
I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Matte-Scr...Motorola-Atrix-4G-/280721687677#ht_710wt_1396

They are very cheap, and after 3 month they don't have any scratch. They leave a margin of about 1mm to the edges, but I don't mind at all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crabfriedrice:
Don't use any screen protector. It's just a phone. You will eventually change it anyways.

Besides, what is the point of having a gorilla glass if you are just going to protect it?
