Touch Phones - Protective Film

Anyone taken the screen protective film off their mobile and not put it back? I was thinking of doing it for my new LG Cookie. Any consequences?

Any consequences, apart from general scratches and scrapes, I should have asked.

Personally I wouldn't bother with a screen protector - especially if the screen is glass. There's been too many horror stories about problems when you remove it.

However I do have a case that protects the rest of the phone.

Is it really that good?

Im actually looking for something for the screen of my N97.

I took the cover that comes with the phone off today. Only because it got scratched somehow and was interferring with the display.

Also works out to be around £11 after shipping! Is it really worth that much?!

It's great, no scratches and you can barely see it once it's on.

LOL...this thread is supposed to be about leaving the screen unprotected.

Yes it is that good! I even caught the edge of my first one and spoilt it (Clumsy me, not their fault..) I emailed them to say it had come unstuck and under the lifetime guarantee they sent me a new one free of charge without question...
I think they sell it in CPW as well, but I went the internet route to make sure I was only dealing with them.
I thought those flimsy covers that came on the phone were just shipping covers...Not really meant to be left on....

As above, I don't use protection either . . . screen is as good as new still. Waste of money IMO.

My N97 got a scratch on the screen within 2 weeks of me taking the factory film off. My pocket is a pretty hostile environment, though.

Wouldn't that depend on many things??? For instance, without protection on my screen and a hard case my IPhone would have been wrecked by now for the effects gained during work.
I suppose if you sit in an office all day with only the danger of a paper cut to deal with it will be fine without a cover!!

You would be surprised what abuse they can take. I do manual work and use my phone when working. However a builder or similar would wreck the phone due to the amount of abrasive dust going onto it.

I have to say I really need protection on my iphone. I usually keep my phones in good condition and do not drop them and get scrapes on them at all. When I first for my iphone I thought I didnt need a screen protector as I never get scratches on my phone, however after about 3 weeks I got a tiny scratch on my screen, you can't really see it unless you know it is there but after that I realised that I needed a screen protector. And Im so glad I got one. My OH has a G1 phone and doesnt used a screen protector and his screen is scratch free which is good considering he drops his phone a lot. I think the iphone screen is more sensitive to scratches.
