I tried putting on a "cut to size" protector that came with my wife's new incredible 2.... It sucked. Too thick, and I could not get rid of the air bubbles. Looked like a really bad tint job! So, going without protection. The touch screen is already not the best, so I don't know how adding the protector will affect that. I agree that with the tough glass, the phone will resist scratches. Two weeks now with the phone, in my pocket most of the time. Have dropped it twice, once on concrete. No problems!
