So, anyone find out if our screen is made of Gorilla glass or not? Proof? I'm waiting on this evidence before I get a Zagg Screen Protector.
Even though this phone has GG, does it still make sense to get a screen protector? I asked a VZW salesman and he obviously said "yes". I'd also want something that is resistant to cleaning solutions for wiping finger oil, etc. from the screen every once in a while.
Thanks for the feedback. Last night, I was looking on Ebay. I just did a search for "Motorola Droid 3 screen protector" and found something that's $3. That's really cheap, but I wonder if it really does anything. I've had my phone for just over a week and still have the protective film that came w/ the phone on it. I'm starting to get annoyed by the diagram of the phone it has on it.I think it does. Gorilla Glass is good on it's own for preventing most scratches, but it still doesn't do a whole lot for the build up of various things on the screen. Beyond basic finger/face oils, if you've ever let a female friend/relative use your phone (and some guys too), all kinds of makeup and hair products can get on there, and some of that can be stubborn to remove, especially if the screen isn't wiped down right after use. A good screen protector helps to protect the screen from building up any of that stuff. And as good as Gorilla Glass is at preventing scratches, when you get into trying to remove some solidified junk on the screen, it's still possible to do some damage.

I suppose. I got a cheap screen protector for my old phone (LG enV Touch) and it worked well for the 2 years I used that phone, not that I abused the phone, but mainly to protector the screens (that phone has 2 screens) from finger oil/smudge/etc.I bought cheap screen protectors for my D1 and all I can say is, you get what you pay for. I bought the boxwave screen and it was fantastic! I was able to take it off, run it under hot water, dry it and put it back on. Boxwave doesn't have them for the D3 yet.

Your screen didn't break, did it? My D1 went through war for 1.5 years and never broke or got any serious scars, a heavy glass framed picture fell directly on the screen and nothing happened...I think the stuff is great.Gorilla glass really isnt as special as people make it out to be. I already dropped my d3 face down and i got a bunch of little scratches and marks on my screen. That was only dropping it from waist height. I dont have any screen protector on my phone.
I just can't stand how the screen protector makes the screen look less crisp.
Buy a highquality thin clear one. do something because i'd feel terrible if your screen got scratched. =(
When I get my D3 I plan on bringing the unopened box straight to the mall and to the Zagg kiosk and having them install a full body invisibleSHEILD right when it gets unboxed. I noticed the chrome on the body and would hate for it to get scratched.
I have put full body invisibleSHEILDs on my OG Droid and my Macbook Pro and couldn't be more satisfied. They are absolutely worth the money because they have a lifetime warranty. If you get it installed in person you can bring the phone back anytime it begins to peel and they will replace the shield.
please please please please do not take the phone right out of the box and to them. what if somethings wrong with the phone and you have to exchange it? boom! there went your expensive invisi sheild
