Is the screen protector really necessary? isn't the glass of the iphone scratch resistant? i'm finding the sp gets dirty easily.

I always keep one just in case. I got a metal shaving on my finger from work and scratched the SP on my old phone. Replaced it with a new one, good to go.

I am a nervous person and I don't believe in complete scratch resistant. I use this when I'm eating, and would rather have a dirty screen protector than a scuzzy phone that may be ruined.

I have mine on just in case, for extra protection, the one provided with the case, I mean you don't NEED it, but I would have it on

Probably not. This isy first iPhone, so I like the idea of it being all wrapped up and protected! I was able to put my SP on pretty snug, so it's been working nicely for me.

no.And to add to the other person.. you do NOT need a screen protector. The gorilla glass is already scratch resistant

I have had one of the early versions without the dampening tip for about 2 years now. I do not notice that it put scratches on my iPad screen, and I do not have a screen protector. I use it for taking notes on a daily basis.

Nope, it is plastic, been using for it for about 7 days ? now no scratches. I wouldn't want glass because of weight and most likely more fragile than the hard phone glass screen.

I haven't had any problems with using the touch screen on my iPhone. I can't tell any great difference with or without the cover, I have a "glass" cover on my phone also, and "I" like it.

It's kind of a glossy feel, but I ended up not using it. I watched you tube videos of attempts at scratching and literally destroying the screen and having no affect. Evidently the Gorilla Glass on these phones are practically indestructible!

I haven't experienced the problem with bubbles with the Armorbox that I purchased. With regard to your second point about the scratches, in a sense that is precisely the point. The protective screen is there to take the scratches that would otherwise end up directly on the screen of your iPhone.

No, the criticism is exaggerated. It doesn't scratch the iphone if you've got patience to remove and put it on again. I do think it fits incredibly well.

It touches the screen and leaves a little mark you should use a screen protector it can scratch if you let dirt get in it

I haven't had a scratch yet. The screen feel like the phone screen. The only noticeable difference is the clarity of the screen in the case... not bad but noticeable

I think the screen protector helps some but it is easy to wipe clean. I use a stylus most of the time for typing and have a small microfiber cloth to use when I put the tablet away. I am very picky about a clean screen. I feel safe from scratches and grubby smears with the protector. I don't know it's there.

Hi Daniel, The bumper component is pretty durable, but it will scratch if it impacts with an abrasive surface. As of now, Spigen does not sell the bumper separately, but there is an indication that they may do it in the future.

Yes , mine is too. Clean your phone, put it on and leave it on would be my advise. At least you know nothing will slip behind it and scratch your phone.

It comes with a screen protector, but I haven't used it. You'd have to put it on after the case is on. I've never had any scratches on my iPhone though and don't use any screen protector.

No problem at all. I do not use a screen protector, either. Movement of the stylus is very smooth. There are no scratches on my screen, and the feel is so smooth, I cannot imagine that there ever will be any.

I love mine, but like most apple products, it will get really scratched, even with a case. Watch out for rubber cases that dirt can get under, the rubber will move a little bit and use the dirt to scratch the back of it. Anyway, I personally would wait for a otterbox case for it. I use the military shield for now, but it was horrible to install, and its not even on it right. Its lightweight and easy to hold, but without an otterbox, at least get a squaretrade warranty. Another thing I have learned about these devices, if you havent broken it in less than a year, you may never break it, so maybe skip getting an extra year on the drop and spill protection.

Didn't need one. Gorilla glass doesn't scratch easily. If you really want it just buy a screen protector from another company.
