How scratchable is the Droid Xs screen? I just received my Dx and am paranoid about scratching it. I'm very protective of my gear so bear with me. Not a fan of screen protectors either.

It is not gorilla glass and it will scratch, MINE DID. Get a Steinheil SGP.
Show me any document that says it's gorilla glass. Had a d1 for a year uncovered not one scratch, the dx scratched the first week.
Motorola also confirmed to us
I have had mine since launch day, had a screen protector, hated it, took it off after about 2 weeks and my Droid X has been naked since, and not a single scratch. I also had my original Droid without a screen protector and didnt have any scratches either. Just dont be dumb with it and keep it away from sand and you should be golden.
That's funny cause the same thing happened to me. Mine is the fold out bed and it slipped down the side. I have the invisible sheild, but I am definitely glad I had it on. Go with the screen protectors.I have had phones with gorilla glass where I've used screen protectors and I've had them where I didn't. It can scratch.
I say spend the extra couple of bucks for the protection. Get a nice quality one so you will still enjoy the screen and not be annoyed by it.
Within one week of having my X, mine fell on the floor under the couch. My couch has recliners on both sides of it so it has extra metal pieces underneath. I got my X, set it on the couch, and it fell again (yes I'm smart) as I was placing the couch back down. The metal piece went straight onto the glass.
I freaked out, peeled off the screen protector....and there wasn't a single scratch. The screen protector was messed up a little but it did its job. One of those times where I was definitely glad I had it on there and immediately replaced it with another.
It can happen to you
Thing about sand you can get some in a pocket very easly and throw your phone in said pocket and you have an accident waiting to happen. Trying to avoid sand is very hard.
If you were using the ones from VZ I would agree they are junk and I hated them. I used them until my SGP came in and got rid of them. With the ultra clear you can not even tell you have a protector on.
Motorola DROID X review Boy Genius Report
Here is a review of the Droid X from Boy Genius Report (a pretty reliable tech source) if you scroll down to display here is what is says.
Buy Invisishield from Best Buy. I took a key to the screen protector on another phone and it never made it through to the phone. My roommate and I pulled another piece over a pen and had to pull like crazy to get through. You pay 20 or 30 bucks for the protector (optional front and back) and Best Buy will install it for under 10 bucks.
