has anyone gotten a scratch yet? still going without a screen protector here

belladove · 01-21-2012, 06:43 PM

From what l can gather, the Fire screen is made of something fairly new and super-strong. This is my very first touchscreen device (gasp!) and l can't get my head around the idea of a barrier over the screen. What have people's results been so far? Or am l the only one naive enough to think l can get by without a screen protector?

You don't need one it's made of Gorilla glass. I use one for helping with glare issues, smoother scrolling and easy cleaning.

My wife bought me the Marware (Anti-Glare) two pack from Kindle and I absolutely love it. I highly recommend these. They reduce the glare in all light conditions, make a stlyus feel more natural when using and reduce fingerprints dramatically. Get a set and you'll never go back.

As you can see from Amazons website, screen protectors are not everyone's cup of tea.

Thanks for the review I wonder if they were any good for their price.

I managed to get a small scratched on the glass. I have a large zippered pocket on my jacket, and it must have hit the zipper coming out at some point.

So far that's the only one though...luckily it's not easily noticeable.

Still no protector here on mine since Nov. and no scratches.

Gorilla Glass rocks

Id love to reduce the glare but dont want a protector on it.

My screen is still naked. No scratches. I've also given up screen protectors on my phones.

hoosiermama · 01-22-2012, 09:24 AM

I don't have a screen protector on mine I've had a Droid phone with gorilla glass, and have never had a screen protector on that either. Both get tossed in my purse. The only screen protector I'd consider for the Fire would be to reduce glare, but I probably wouldn't like it.

tstarky · 01-23-2012, 05:13 PM

No scratches, no protector. I'm keeping it that way.

I have had my Fire since mid- November.I have no scratches no screen protector.

I've no scratches yet (not that I plan to have any). I like the screen. It feels like it could take a pounding and still look a-ok.

Even if it IS Gorilla Glass, I'd never try to duplicate their sales pitch of being able to scrape it with a key and it'd look just fine! I'd be the exception that proves the rule and have my screen be completely destroyed.

I just order a two pak of anti-glare cheapies for my new Fire on it's way. Good thing hubby has Prime on his student account. They should get here the same day.

Yes, that is the correct set. After my buddy saw mine and used them for awhile, he chose to install my second set on his fire.

I've never gotten a scratch. Screen protectors are good things to have if you move around a lot, but my Fire stays around the house mostly.
