The more you use it, slowly the more scratches it will start to have.

The type of touch screen that you're describing is a resistive touch screen, which is the type used by Pocket PCs, Palms, etc etc. It can indeed by scratched by sharp objects.
The Sony does NOT use this type of touch screen, but a CAPACITIVE touch screen. This works by a different principle and does not involve a soft "scratchable" layer on the screen.
