Post Is a screen protector worth investing in?

The iPhone 3G's screen is sturdy and I've seen it tested under tough conditions. But I wonder if a screen protector is worth it. What are the benefits of it if I never put my screen in danger? It's always in a pouch with the screen faced toward my hip and whenever I'm out of the house I keep an Incase Slider Case.

Do you use the Zagg Invisible Shield. I was looking into that one.

The glass is probably the most scratch resistant thing on the phone, I wouldn't bother.

Yeah that's how I felt about it. I think i'll just stick with the Incase Slider Case. Zagg hypes up the screen protector and it honestly doesn't seem worth $20+

My friend has an screen protector and not only do I think it's a pointless waste of money, it also made the screen look weird and sometimes air bubbles between it and the screen...no thanks!

I do iPhone repair and I have seen so many phone screens scratched, I would never be without one. So don't be a d-bag and take a chance. They are so cheap.

Definitely is worth it.

The Power Support Anti-Glare has done wonders for me..

Not only has kept my screen flawless but also eliminates finger prints and having to constantly wipe them off..

This is why I use the Power Support Anti-Glare. It also makes sliding your finger across the screen much easier.
