I have, but not because of the risk of scratches.
I have eczema, which means my skin easily dries out and is very sensitive to pretty much anything. My hands are particularly exposed to symptoms, due to them being used to touch lots of things around me every day. Washing my hands dries them out, and the easiest way to prevent an eczema outbreak is to keep my skin moisturized and pampered, so I use lotion on my hands several times a day.
Several times a day.
Until I developed a solid habit of always using the stylus and never my fingers on the touchscreen of my PRS-950, I kept getting lotion residue on the screen itself, and over time a thick film of grease built up on the screen. Without a screen protector, I was very paranoid about how to clean the screen without harming it, and spent a lot of time in the Sony forum looking for advise. A screen protector would have made cleaning a lot easier.
