I guess I would be in the aggressive stylus column. I didn't think I used it too hard, but I scratched my eDGe with a long swipe up.... and there went a huge 4" cut. I will never, ever, ever use a touch screen device without the screen protector. But also, the screen protector I bought SAID it would help in the sun. Ha. Wrong. Doesn't help at all in the sun. Maybe even makes it harder with one more obstacle to look through... shiny reflective and then low visual ability in the sun... There are other manufacturers and I am going to try some others and see if they make a difference. But they do protect and that is what I need it for... so I am happy for the most part. I really didn't think the protector could make THAT much of a difference outside. Maybe I can be proven wrong.
